Do you not mean Stade Franciszek?

PS....Franciszek is the Polish variation of the name Francis, which is Latin in origin and means ‘Frenchman’. The name is rare in Britain, although its variant Francis is widely found. Franciszek is a popular boys name in Poland. Franciszek Smuda is a Polish footballer.

Forgot, then relieved there was a game tonight as a boring night loomed otherwise. Im going for a home win, you'd have to be brave to back Brive

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm backing Brive p) - they always turned up against us in the Amlin, I'm backing them to do the same tonight.

 

[Tony Manx]

My goodness this is a boring gmae..................who cares who wins out of two second teams!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Not particularly a seconds for Newcastle.

It's definitely a terrible game though, one of the worst I've seen in a looooong time.

 

[dasNdanger]

I just wanna know how Newcastle blew a 2-man advantage. After that I only half-watched the game, finding solitaire a bit more interesting than what was happening on the pitch.

Great try by Wasps. Turnover by Launchbury was top notch to start the move as well.
Good to see Haskell playing well, I've always thought he was quite underrated, in a way.

Just caught that- such a lovely move. Who cut in from the touchline? Couldn't catch the name with the French commentary <_<

Not sure. I want to say Hayter, but don't know why.




How about that break from Simpson?! Quality!


Andy goode doing the post match interview in French, what a guy.

^ Corrected for you. Well in Wasps - Simpson was bloody fantastic on that break and we actually looked solid.

Hope Goode's not done anything serious, he was hobbling a fair bit.

Congrats Olyy for qualifying........BO can now concentrate on the drop and its implications.........there wil be a few flats and houses becoming available in the Biarritz/Anglet/Bayonne triangle in June and the newcomers, if any take up an offer of employment with this club, will not be able to afford them!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Technically we're not safe yet!
If Biarritz get something like a 5pt win, and beat us by 22pts, then you're through!

It's unlikely, but stranger things have happened. We tend to implode in the last rounds of the euros, so you never know!

 

[Tony Manx]

HaHaHa...............best laugh I have had in years!!!

What you say is needed is as likely to happen as it is to snow in Singapore on Wednesday next week!!!

We needed a win at least yesterday to give you a game of meaning but the team selection showed that was not going to happen........whenever you see Julien Perylongue on a starting team sheet, you know it is the second choices!!!

Reckon they should put out the Espoirs on Saturday to give them some experience (not that they will in their shortsightedness) and cannot imagine the size of the crowd for a 21.00 KO on a cold Saturday night in January but I will not be even watching on TV as there are better things to do..............like watch paint dry!!

G'luck!
