PSG review podcast 🎙️

Maybe you are right and perhaps they will click. I am just so tired. We have been going from top notch to below mediocrity year by year. The best players leave quicker than any replacements come in. I struggle to see the positives and doubt that we get into the knockouts. Like said hope you're right

Paris Saint-Germain against Real Madrid in the Champions League is played at the training centre in front of a half empty stand for a few hundred people. PSG has gone from one of the top teams on the continent to an embarrassing laughing stock. This is not a dystopian film this is women's football.

If almost goals counted we would be competing for the trophy, but now I don't know what this would require.

You are right, there is some spark there, but at this point very little. The project has been going downhill for years. While others develop, we become worse.

I will issue an apology and correction as soon as they prove me wrong. It seems that many of our players have become worse than they were before.

PSG has had so many chances against Wolfsburg yet we are so far from scoring. This project has a long way to go before it's not massively frustrating to watch. Lack of cohesion, passion and unfortunately also by the look of it, talent.

This is a pretty remarkable time to be a PSG supporter and I am very grateful for this.

PS. Now I am waiting for someone to say that I have missed the news and blablabla. That would be very typical. Boycotting twitter comes with a price I am willing to pay & on the other hand, talking here is talking to abyss, so maybe no one will even see this 😅

Maybe I have missed some key info. I know they've said that PdP won't be it and that they have decided etc, but before the work starts, it's difficult to swear on any one truth about it.

So there you have it. Don't think it's a hot take by any measure, but it's a lukewarm reflection perhaps. Fin.

Of course meddling with politics is very frightening because there are some really bad folks there & in that context the fate of Parc des Princes is irrelevant, no matter how much I love it, so if my theory has any basis in truth, they must be very mindful because the city needs a good leadership.

After all you should be able to more or less fill a stadium on a weekly basis, sometimes twice.

Not many things in football are as depressing as half empty stadium's because remember the capacity will be increased either way. (Note: there actually are far more depressing things in football)

I just don't feel that this file has been closed yet because every other option that I have heard is bad. And the fans don't really want them and with PFC on the heels ready to take over Parc des Princes, you can push yourself out of the picture even just through these practicalities.

It could be that NAK is taking the gamble & who knows even making backroom deals with some folks in the running re: Le Parc. It's just a theory. It certainly is not an accusation.

Let me rephrase: making inquiries, mapping the political landscape & taking temperature around the stadium question.

Wikipedia: The 2026 Paris municipal election is scheduled to take place in March 2026 to elect the Mayor of Paris and the Council of Paris. This election follows the two-term tenure of Anne Hidalgo, the first woman to serve as mayor of Paris, who announced in November 2024 that she would not seek a third term. The election is expected to be highly competitive, with multiple candidates from across the political spectrum already declaring or preparing their candidacies.

Here is my conspiracy theory, if I may: The municipal elections in Paris are next year march. That's mere months away and the incumbent mayor Anne Hidalgo, a supposed PSG supporter during good times is the public face of refusing the sale of Parc des Princes to PSG. I am sure there are others too.

Map of Paris to Poissy.

Poissy is not an entirely different case. Very similar actually and the locals aren't all the rage about RER anyways. I mean if anything, it's further and from what I hear, quite difficult to reach for example for women's games. (Locals may school me about all of these things, feel free).

Map from Paris to Massy

Massy has been mentioned. That'd be app. 45 mins from the city (depends where, but I checked from Opera). That's a long way for an ordinary person at night, especially if you want it to be for families with kids.

To be honest, not being on Twitter would very potentially make me miss exactly this type of information.

Here's a random thought. The PSG stadium question has been unanswered for a long time and I feel like we have had a few incidents - at least - where all the info about the details and such have been imminent. Yet, no final plan as far as I know.

Allez Paris 🔴🔵

I want to team and its players to win everything they are competing for. Every trophy and Le Classique.

On top of which, this match is the flagship match of our league. Especially the one at velodrome I would say because we don't have the home advantage. And this is the match that French football wants to hide behind the Ballon d'or ceremony. It's absolutely ludicrous.

I don't disagree with that at all. I think it is safe to say that this is a clash with PSG's already existing schedule. But even beyond us, this makes the whole French football look like an amateur circus.

Personally I don't even care if we just gave it to them 3-0 because it's not gonna help them. But also French football needs to intervene. This is embarrassing for all. Out of all years, this is not the one to mess with us.

French football is its own worst enemy. I don't even like Ballon d'or, but the team has deserved this event, the gala in their own city by achieving the biggest feat of French football since the 2018 world cup. I will defend Ligue 1 always, but they make it very difficult. This is just amateurish.

Jourde had probably the best shot in this team. She has clearly done her hours of practice and it shows. Getting the ball to her feet at the edge of the box and outside of it, could lead to quite a few goals. Lots of great other performances. This is Sakina's team & she leads from the front.

PSG women's team today with fairly solid display against Nantes with literal fireworks lighting up the Parisian sky.

Not yet a 90 min team but getting there. All around we have good players, but special mention to Kanjinga who will score a lot this season. She is a joy to watch and also Jourde.

Might have a haircut today.

Not an easy one. Will test the level of the project.

PSG starts to look like the preseason is over now and we are having a certain solid level and a bit more pace. It will get there. Just need to manage the playing time & avoid injuries.

PSG started this UCL campaign with the type of dominance that the last one was finished with, but not quite the same sharpness. Could have scored so many more, but also a better opponent could have scored one or two. Not disrespecting Atalanta, but they also weren't at their best.

The amount of injuries is a huge problem and could define the whole campaign with further fatigue. This was always coming. The club world cup didn't help.

Having said that, we are treated to magnificent goals. First by Neves & now by Barcola.

WZE is on a very high level again. Love to see that.

Injuries are of course the concern not just because we miss those players, but also less rotation and rest for the others. That can mark the whole campaign, but we play with the hand that's been dealt.
