Why is Blanc bringing on those young players when they really need to win a game? Subbing Lucas out was a mistake.

PSG are still dull turds that suck the joy out of watching all of the great players they bought.

They'll still win the league though.

It'll be interesting to see how Monaco get along tomorrow. Ranieri will probably make a right mess of everything for the first few matches which should be entertaining.

He has more experience with Monaco than, say, Blanc with PSG, so I expect them to do better, but Bordeaux will be a good test. Too bad all games start at the same time.

Someone please explain to me how the gently caress you keep Lavezzi, Cavani, Zlatan, Pastore and Lucas all happy and playing.

Especially since Lavezzi is arguably their most important player, being the only bugger that tracks back properly while still offering a threat.

Im pretty impressed that Pastore and Verratti manage to play together as well, although Pastore always did play higher up at Palermo.

I'd bet PSG will keep them happy by dropping a dump truck full of money on top of their heads whenever they talk about wanting to leave.

Also for anyone who can read a little French, here's a guide for which team you should root for against PSG: http://www.rue89.com/rue89-sport/2013/08/10/test-quelle-equipe-ligue-1-devez-supporter-cette-annee-244847

On the other hand, PSG was garbage at the beginning of last year and they ended up running away with it, so I wouldn't get too excited yet.

A Big Mac for Gignac, just 2 minutes into the season.

I forgot OM signed Payet, even though I'm pretty sure I posted about his transfer in the silly season thread.

lol, and now Payet puts them up 2-0 in the 4th minute.

Yeah this is true. I'm glad Lyon scored 4 yesterday, and with Marseille scoring a lot today too, maybe it means the Ligue 1 will finally have a more interesting attacking season than usual.

Also, Saint-Étienne won 1-0 today.
