    PSG aren’t very good for the players they have. No chance they’ll win the CL this season, seen them a few times this season and not been impressed.

    Aye they've not turned up yet although it's still early days as a lot of their players never had a pre-season Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Verratti, Paredes, Di Maria, Neymar and Messi were all still playing in mid July cause they reached the final of their tournaments and only started playing for them 3 weeks ago and then in between that was an International break causing some of them to miss the next game.

    So they started the season with half a team and now half a team and half a team of guys getting back to fitness.

    They will probably be fine once they bed in.

    I thought Paredes was one of their best players last season but he's only started 1 game this season because he only came back by the 29th of August then the Internationals caused him to miss the next game so he's really only been back for 2 games.

    Got a feeling it will be like the galaticos era at Madrid for them, too many superstar egos in one team, end up winning nothing.

    Also a manager who A.) whilst proving to be a very good coach and capable of nurturing a team over a number of years, has never managed a group of absolute divas. B.) Has never won ANYTHING of note.

    Well they will win the French league thats for sure nobody to stop that happening this season but I get the comparison and from what I have seen of them so far this season its a valid one.

    His performance in that first half was an embarrassment.

    I don't know why he didn't go to City. Would suit him far more than PSG

    You been to Manchester mate? You been to Paris? Personally I'd have stayed in Spain but he wouldn't have done that. Doesn't seem like the player who likes playing in the rain and cold. Football ways your probably bang on though.

    Paris is mostly ghettos and slums in my experience, sprinkled with the big tourist attractions and city centre locations you see on the telly. Shitehole.
