Roy Hodgson's in France again - watching Lille

[HC]

Wow, yeah That is quite impressive.

Good luck to them, can only be good for the competition of the french league, as long as it doesnt contribute towards the fuckers winning anything Nationally, it's good.

I presume Lyon also fill the Stade De Garland*?

I had no idea the Stade de france held 80,000, cant be many bigger than that in Europes top footballing countries.

Not really, mate. Lyon's 5th in the attendance league, averaging 85,14 % (34946) of stadium capacity (41044).

From Footy365.com:

SUPER OFFER FOR HAZARD
Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United will have to battle it out for Lille winger Eden Hazard. The French club are keen to do a deal for the Belgian international, but only if a "super offer" is forthcoming.

Atletico Madrid are also keen on the player who recently signed an extension to his current contract until 2015.

Lille manager Rudi Garcia told Spanish newspaper Marca: "He might leave if we get a super offer in the summer. And he will not go to another French club but rather to one of the big foreign leagues. England or Spain? The boy would go for any of the major clubs in these countries."
