Oh, definitely – Rangers and Celtic are a bit of a special case, though. Occasionally, fans of one can admit they want to see the other advance for the good of Scotland, but they don’t really mean it. Lyon and Marseille might be rivals in the league, but they don’t hate each other with a passion that comes anywhere near the Old Firm. Nobody does really, and its a good thing.

After watching Givet and Rodriguez, I am sincerely hoping Squillaci and Anderson get inspired to, you know, defend. Shocking performance by Givet though. At one point wasn’t he better than Squillaci back in their Monaco days? These days he’s been quite poor (well so has Squillaci but still). Tonight wasn’t Valbuena’s night. He’s a great player, but it showed tonight he’s still relatively new to top flight football.

And this is the second 4-0 beat down Liverpool handed to French clubs. I’m guessing Toulouse don’t feel so bad anymore.

Ian, I don’t think Lyon will be extra motivated from Marseille’s loss. They would have been if OM had gone through because it would be humiliating for Lyon to be in the UEFA Cup while Marseille play in the CL, a competition Lyon consider their own after so many years. Lyon haven’t played in the UEFA Cup since 2002. If anything, wouldn’t Rangers be extra motivated since Celtic qualified?

Liverpool fans have never been bitter about a loss, EVER, but yeah, Ara, that’s a bit much. That was a thorough beating and Liverpool deserve to go through. I’m a bit unhappy about it because now Lyon are going to feel like they’re playing for France and not just themselves … like we need them coming to Glasgow with any more motivation.

Of course we French fans are bitter. I’m sure Liverpool fans would be bitter if their team had lost.

This was too much. It was Marseille of August and September, with a dash of PSG on the side.
