Guest Roger Kint Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Its madness that people would start watching French football around the same time all our signing come from there. Almost as though theres a connection Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yes average , where would the 5th place team in the French League finish in England, Germany or Spain. And my point is that I am just amazed at the knowledge of some people on here have on French football Surely average is relative to the sample set being referred to? Therefore, in a league of 20, 5th is not average. And to be once place of CL spots is not average either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It must just be me then by the time I've been to the match and then watched a Spanish game on Saturday night (so I don't have to watch x factor) then maybe a championship game followed by more premiership and la liga games on Sunday I don't have time for the obscure French games.

St. Ettiene v Lyon is no more obscure than Valencia v Osasuna People watch different leagues, I know people who watch more Serie A than La Liga, it's not uncommon.

I'd say there is also a lot of people on here who watch a lot of football. Remember if you bet on a match then you automatically qualify to watch it online with most decent bookies. plus the fact ESPN have some French football as well as review programmes.

healthyaddiction Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 He does kind of have a point in fairness to him. There's far too many self proclaimed European football experts on here. But at the same time a lot of people have been following French football more closely due to our signings predominately coming from there. He says he might watch a couple of la liga matches a week. Well then it's more than feasible for someone to watch a couple of ligue 1 matches a week instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see anyone who proclaims to be an European expert here either. You can still watch the occasional match or see where they had been all season to have some ideas.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I too know absolutely nothing about him, although saying you have to live in France to have an opinion on him is pretty funny, and gay. Considering how much french football is on tv / streams now I agree with that, some people have probably watched him Aye, I'd bet there's more access to German, Spanish, French and Italian football on Sky and ESPN now, as there was to English football pre-Sky.
