Laurent Blanc's Comments

[The T-Dex]

I'm not jealous of the country, I enjoy going there as long as I am near a city, some older places are ace to like I suppose, such as Mount Saint Michel, St. Malo, and Orodur Sur Glane.

Anyway if we are going to discuss France, should it be done in the Ale house, this has gone horrendously off topic.

This thread has gone a bit weird since I started it hasn't it?

I only posted it as the French manager had mentioned Everton!

St Malo is nice too. Bainesy would like it there.

Back on topic moolz, no need to fear.

Lauren Blanc is bit of poo head isn't he?

Better?

 

[ScouseBlueBoy]

Why does he have beef with Bilic?

My foggy memory tells me that Bilic's play acting got Blanc sent off in a World Cup semi leading to him missing the final in 1998.

Baines should be starting ahead of Cole.

Baines should be starting ahead of Cole.

Did you see Cole against Bayern the other night?!

Blanc was an ace centre half in his day

Think this is a misquote. I've seen the article several times on several sites and he doesn't mention anything about Baines or Everton. Think it was a hack journo adding his own snide comment about Baines

Despite fears over the quality of England's squad for Euro 2012, France coach Laurent Blanc is confident he knows about every one of Roy Hodgson's men, "apart from the reserve left-back, the one who plays for Everton". Leighton Baines, we assume.

Sadly I don't have a times subscription to find out for sure.

Edit: now I'm confused. The interwebs seem to be raging over what he said but I can't find a legit source to confirm it. Damn the times and their subscriptions

Is all the anger at France being sunnier, prettier, having hotter women, better wine, better cheese, a better football team, cooler stripey jumpers and more Disney theme parks than England?

Let it go boys, jealousy is very unbecoming of you.

No, it's because the barstewards are further away from Scotland, lucky frogs.......









Just kidding like Jock.......

They loves us Jocks in France mate, and are similarly welcomed when the travel to Ecosse.

I think it's got a lot to do with the fact we don't throw patio tables through their café windows or charge at their policemen.

Wanders in, pulls up stool next to Jock. Applauds Gaz E's comments. Throws bits of onion at Nik.

Haha yes the Jeremy Kyle holding pen of Scotland hosts the most well behaved of football fans.
