Want to watch both, but my internet is being a massive cnut and is so slow I can't stream it. Flicking between MUTV and ESPN isn't ideal.

Why the feck do people call these things "projects"? It's embarrassing.
"here's 100 billion go and buy every player" = Project? feck off.

because it's more accurate than calling it 'club'.

When players join madrid, barca, utd, bayern they say that they are joining a 'club'.

when players sign with city, chelsea, psg, it is a project because there is no connection to what they are today to their past histories as clubs.

they have lost the right to be called clubs and players/agents are more accurate in calling them 'projects'.

Watching PSG who are currently drawing 0-0. Lavezzi sent off and Ancelotti sent to the stands for kicking a water bottle. :lol:

Just saw the red card and it was indeed a clear red. Easy decision for the ref that. 2 draws for PSG so far. I like it.

Great start for the new project. Would be quite funny to see them not win the league after spending all that cash, infact it would be a bit mental if they don't. Last season they lost out to a Montpellier side who played Portsmouth dud John Utaka upfront.

Bienvenue a Ligue 1, this is a small example of how far behind the other leagues in Europe they are, IMO

PSG 1-0 up against Toulouse.

Pastore with a lovely flick over the keeper after a terrific pass from Verratti.

Well looks like the PSG monster has truly started its engine.4 wins in the last 4 matches (3 Ligue 1 and the CL) with Zlatan being naturally the league's top scorer with 8 goals in 5 games (without forgetting he also scored against Kiev in the CL).
Veratti again today was impressive, this kid is gonna be a superstar.
PSG is currently third with 12 points after 6 matches

When Premier League has seen 4 goalkeepers score in 20 years, then Ligue 1 with it's 75 year history witnessed just a second goalie who was on target today.


Ali Ahamada is also an impressive goalkeeper at the other end. He made his debut for Toulouse at the tender age of 20 and recorded 6 clean sheets in his first 8 starts. He currently has a record of 53 Ligue 1 matches played and 26 clean sheets kept!

Quite exciting at the top. Three teams on 38 points!

If it stays like it, it must kill the season off for teams from 4th to near relegation without much to play for.

Crucial breakthrough against Bordeaux. Their defense has been good this season, scoring against them away from home was important early on.

Great day for Lyon, cut the lead by 3 points with PSG losing to Sochaux. The second half of that game was brilliant, completely end to end. Sochaux deserved the win, though PSG really piled on the pressure in the end and probably deserved a penalty as well. But the home team really exploited PSG's defense well and managed to hold on at the back.
