Two more goals for O'Brien today.

He's probably the French Eddie Howe.

French Ted treading water, staring Ligue 2 in the face. The real reason why Marco has gone underground!

Oh, those were a glorious couple of months in the Autumn of 2022 though!

Jake O Brien doing really well at Lyon. He's starting every week. It's the first time a side in the league started the calender year in the relegation zone and will finish in the top half of the table. Still have a chance at qualifying for Europe and are in the final of the cup VS PSG on the 25th. Should really be starting for Ireland in the end of season friendlies.

Sacre fucking bleu, Lorient on the verge of pulling off a massive escape. 3 point and 7 goal swing to earn themselves a playoff as it stands.

 

[Cloudy O'Ranieri]

I seem to be mistaken. Lorient relegated, although I'm not sure how.

You'd be gutted for Marco. A horrible way to go down.

Same GD, superior goals scored..but go down because Metz scored more goals, as the away side, in the two head-to-head games between the two sides.

That's niche...

That's fairly shite. You'd think goals scored for the season should trump h2h away goals.

He could have gone the wrong way, got up and gone the wrong way again, and still have saved that I reckon.

WTF? How were this revolutionary Lorient team relegated 18 months or so after reinventing football? As someone who didn't follow much continental action this year, what happened lads?
