[Minimeister]

Wow. I have never seen a team at 100-1 to win a cup final before....has any team ever been that odds to win any football match?

Come on Les Herberts

What division are they from? Never heard of them!

If PSG somehow have 23 injuries it might be worth sticking a bet on

lol bloody hell they've done well to get to the final then haven't they.

What a cup upset that would be, I might check if I have any spare pennies in my PP account and stick it on a win lol

I remember Calais getting to the final about 15 years ago, they were fourth tier, am sure they lost in extra time.

Don’t they only have two fully professional divisions in France? This would be like if Lincoln City had made it to last year’s FA Cup final.

And they are in danger of relegation too. Won virtually as many cup games to get to final as in the league. Beat another lower division side in the semi so it looks a like a season for the minnows in the Cup there.

Just seen a clip of Emery's press conference. He said the usual respectful things about them being there on merit. One journo asked him if he could name three of the Les Herbiers players. He said yes but I am not going to tell you!!!! Laughs all around!

Rubbish teams get to the final regularly in France.

They have the same population as us, football is their main sport, but their leagues are woeful.

Allez Les Herbiers

If Herbiers Score We Riot

I see they get an average gate of about 1500 yet they've sold 15000 tickets for the cup final. Don't you just love how "loyal" fans suddenly rember how much they care and bother to make an appearance for cup finals while never being able to find the time to support the team for any other games?

I hope they win for the club's sake and the 1500 regulars as I always root for the underdog but I'd not be surprised to hear next season that the club's gates are exacally the same and that most of the "loyal" fans aren't haven't shown up for a single league match.

The same thing happened when they asked Big Sam to name 3 Everton players after the Southampton game.

 

[allezlesbleus]

I looked quite silly laughing out loud at that in public on my Todd!!

Yet incredibly they produce some truly magnificent footballers and teams who regularly outperform England on the international stage. Cest incroyable!
