Bonjour happy champers! You join us in the best position we’ve been in at the halfway point of any season to date. Another tactical tweak has been getting the best out of these Basque Boys, both in the league and cup, so could it finally be our year? Let’s f*cking go…
Bonjour and happy Good Friday! Welcome to another Groundhog Day in Bayonne, where we’re dusting ourselves off and preparing to go again after another third place finish. I’m convinced that these Basque Boys have what it takes to win this league, so I won’t give up…
Continue readingBonjour, and a very happy Vendredi to you! You join us in a familiar position at the halfway stage of season eight. We’re out of Europe and the League Cup, and have drawn PSG in the main cup, so that’ll probably be short-lived, but at least that way we’ll have no distractions from trying to finish strongly in the league. Let’s f*cking go…
Continue readingBonjour! If you’ve followed this adventure for all eight seasons so far, I salute you! I’m sure you’re just as frustrated as me that we still haven’t won anything, but we’re fresh off the back of a third-place finish, so let’s see if we can go at least one better this season. Let the summer recruitment commence…
Continue readingBonjour champers! You join us on the other side of the winter break, and ready to attack the second half of season eight. We’re in the hunt as usual, but we all know what can happen between now and the end of the season, so we won’t go into all that. Lets go…
Bonjour and bienvenue! After another trophy-less season, and another fourth-place finish, we’re dusting ourselves off and preparing to go again. The number eight might be lucky for the Chinese, but will this be the year of the Basque Boy? Let’s f*cking go (again)…
Continue readingBonjour! and welcome back for the second half of season seven. You join us just six points off the top of the table, and well-placed for a second half of the season title charge. There’s also the main cup still to play for as well, so let’s see if this will finally be the season when the French Basque Boys will go and win their first trophy…
Hello and welcome back. Our Scandinavian adventure continues, much to the displeasure of some members of the blogging team who are rooted to the bottom of the table. There were promising signs for Nick’s OB side last time, can it push him on further?
First up Deano takes on Phil and his AaB side. Deano has no idea who his players are or what his game plan was as it’s been 8 weeks since we last got together. It makes no odds as Phil is comfortably brushed aside. The Godfather of Icelandic football having no impact for Phil.
Hello and welcome to our final trip to Cologne. I’d like to say it’s been fun, but that would be bullshit. It’s been hard, it’s been frustrating and it’s had little reward. Maybe it’s time to stop being so restrictive with my transfer policy. We’ll see.
Anyway, here we are with 11 league games left to play and some cup business to sort out…
