sempre-yoann:

I’m not a big fan of bearded men, but for him I’ll open an exception.

And to finish this post, two photos of Mathieu Valverde in EXCELLENT company:

I will also make an exception in that posts like these don’t normally belong here, but he is SO SEXY.

Bordeaux - Toulouse. (17:00 CET)

86% - Toulouse have lost 12 of their last 14 trips to Bordeaux in Ligue 1. Derby. (optajean)

Mathieu Valverde will be in goal for Toulouse against the team he started at. Now, I think I should justify why I always go on about him. He isn’t the greatest of goalkeepers, but I miss his face at Bordeaux. and his voice. and his enthusiasm about his guitar lessons. Female football fans are allowed to be shallow once in a blue moon.

Team news: Olimpa, Andrietti – Chalmé, Sané, Savic, Trémoulinas, Marange – Diarra, Fernando, Gourcuff, Ducasse, Plasil, Wendel – Bellion, Cavenaghi, Gouffran, Jussiê, Modeste.

Suspensions: Carrasso, Ciani, Henrique. Injured: Ramé, Keita, Planus, Diabaté.
Choix du manager: Lasne, Saunier, Sertic, Traoré, Ayité, Saivet.

• Interesting to see what role Modeste will play tomorrow.
• Those left out - so we know Lasne, Saunier, Traoré are due to be loaned. Obviously I dislike Sertić being left out again. But at the same time, the midfield is pretty stable as it is. He would come in for Gourcuff/Plašil, I just want him to be on the bench at least. I just find it a shame as he was due to ‘break out’ this year. Would he be added to the loan list? Wouldn’t mind him doing a Ducasse actually, if it comes to that. But I know, early days.
  

Carrasso still suspended for the next match, Ramé injured. Will be seeing Olimpa against Toulouse. (and an ex-Bordeaux keeper, Mathieu Valverde in goal for Toulouse? I MISS HIM. Just saying.)
