100 hours or so before the Moly LNH France ie French top handball league kicks off


No surprises with all the Cup matches this Tuesday. All the favourites went through with roughly a 8-goal margin. USAM managed a 29-40 win in Caen. 

It will be Anders Palicka first visit to Nimes. What a treat for the supporters.

At the week-end whilst MU dispatched with Arsenal with controversy, Nantes overcame a first half deficit to win the season opener against PSG known as the Champions Trophy. New coach, new players and a well deserved win for the H. The H should get Editions Persee 'lema' on their already very crowded jerseys. Morale boosting for the USAM players and management as Paris is coming very soon to the Parnasse on Day 1. 

Chambery qualified at the expense of Constanta at the weekend as the next EHF European League qualifying round is coming fast and furious.

My team prediction to face Paris St Germain Handball

Demaille, Rebichon, Sanad, Acquevillo, Kamtchop-Baril, Gibernon, Hesham. 

Subs : Tobie, Konradsson, Baznik, Gallego, Vincent

Paris likely team away to Nimes before their travel to Hungary as the EHF Champions League group stage starts.

Palicka, Grebille, Prandi, N Karabatic, Luka Karabatic, Ferran Sole, Ntanzi. 

Subs: Balaguer, Green, Keita, Steins, Kristopans

Welcome back Elohim ! 

A couple of former Montpellier players will also be keen to shine !

Go Green !

That's it the group stage draw for the EHF European League is at our fingertips with today's additional qualified teams in green Aguas Santas Milaneza - Belenenses  3 ahead on low scoring  Aguas should go through but not likely to be the most attractive match. A 12-goal win for Aguas Santas. Far too easy perhaps.   Kolstad - Irun  3 ahead on intermediate scoring Love Bidasoa Irun as I met so many players back in 2001 out of the blue of Erasmus days. They face a tough test to go through. Fingers crossed. I am often as excited as their fans. Expected to be tough and with 10 minutes to Bidasoa 24-22 trailing. 28-25 losing 12 seconds from the buzzer. Dramatic stuff.  Having won 30-27 the first le.g. Shoot out and various 7-meters missed and it finished 33-31 so Irun going through. Cool. FEJER Veszprem - Chambery 4 ahead and a win in Nimes were not a good combination to secure a group spot in the end as from a winning 16-15 Chambery lost 31-25 and it was 25-20 with ten minutes to

Germany 2019 - Day XV Semi day, Semi poetry

Image
Stellar harbour Stellar idea of what drives mad A sole soul let down as a lad No sight of British cover to be had Grey prospect of huge raid a tad  Derailed by inner forces. Too bad To get bogged down in a set. So sad That we lost sense of belief. Clad A new semi story. Eternal pad. Cold surroundings will get the nod. Berlin, 24 January 2019 2019 – 2019HJ110 [interrupted] We can feel a growing tension in the media center. Denmark are huge favourites as France did not play very well so far. Neither high scorers nor top keepers are statistically on the French side. Olympic champions against reigning world champions. A privilege in a stellar harbour.

Honest outcome on life with Arsenal's 40/60

  ARSENAL's 40% v 60% and life is completely wiped out of fans All the important life stuff on a halt this weekend because of this life defining moment this Sunday at 4pm in North London. 40% v 60% I said to my Transport for London buddies after a never ending 6-week (already) ordeal on calamity Northern Line. Arsenal is taking over handball (Paris-USAM / Malaga – Bera Bera) and fun activities (Seven Sisters cliffs walk, Nemausus bullfighting festival) on this disruptive Sunday afternoon. Arsenal history previous occurrences and sense of football beauty/justice and my own desires make me Martin lift the trophy come 6 pm. What disruptive scenario? If this does NOT happen, Lance Armstrong of football prevails. The blame lies with the PGMOL and its corrupt and incompetent refs/linos, the two worlds rule ruling the Premier League as 115 charges without any points deduction nor being expelled from the league. I may not be the most pleasant person to be around and I will have to
