2022-23 Football Season: Title Races and Cups Heat Up!

[Mathuvan Union]

Yeah but they're not from Melbourne.

Better than anything, though

Good point.

[Outer Sparta]

Somehow Ligue 1 is competitive with Lyon leapfrogging PSG thanks to their 1-0 win on the road.

[Paris Saint-Germain]

I hate the state of Ligue 1 right now. Absolutely dreadful to not see us in the lead by double digits!

[Olympique de Marseille]

Oh yeah, PSG lost. We don't care our other rivals won, we have to thank Lyon now that we are just a win away from the leadership!

I see Tottenham is facing some Austrian carpenters, Hoffenheim with Norwegian fisherman, and Olympiacos with Dutch electronics makers. But we all know that Ajax are the one and only Dutch farmers in the mini-farmer's league.

Watch the Messi fanboys all root for PSG and then jump off of the bandwagon once he retires. No Barca for them in that case, they just want to root for the winning teams.

There are fans that root for Man United when they were good and now they switch to City. The rules of sport is that you cannot root for your rival inter-city team no matter what. Those people commit the ultimate cardinal sin by jumping ship to their rivals.

9 years of constant league farming won't do any good for them. The lack of competition is affecting them, regardless of the recent final, just as how is affecting every single French team this year.

I see them making the semis or final but not winning (even though i'd like them to)

If they keep tumbling down this year, giving Lille, Lyon, Monaco and Marseille an advantage in the league, I don't see PSG winning. They won't unless they get themselves back on track domestically.

Ligue 1 is PSG's league so if they somehow don't win it this year, then they will be bitterly disappointed.
