Still traumatised from a young Benzema tearing us a new one at Ibrox in 2007. Had a not bad career that lad

I'm still annoyed about Auxerre & Strasbourg, 96 & 97.

Clement has won in Spain and Sweden; records can be broken.

They got a good result against Olympiakos, but have started their season slow and are underperforming.
Lacazaette, Benrahma, Matic and Zaha, as well as a couple of young athletic wingers...they'll be a real threat.
Will be a big ask to keep our clean sheet run going, but we should absolutely be going out to win.
I'd like 3 points, but in the bigger picture a draw wouldn't be a terrible result.

It’s a statistical anomaly from a small sample.
13 games played: W 4, D 3, L 6.
Most games closely contested: only 4 decided by a margin of more than one goal.

Nowhere near! Closer to Switzerland. On the border with Germany.I’m annoyed I thought Strasbourg was in Belgium
Did we not beat Lyon away in 07? Darcheville ran the show that night.

I still blame my brother. He’s not that into football but I took him to that game and he bought an f’n half and half scarf. He and Jean Claude Darcheville will always be the villains of that night for me! Although, it ended up in Manchester so.Still traumatised from a young Benzema tearing us a new one at Ibrox in 2007.

Or away in Spain. Big Phil has done both, why not a hat trick?

IIRC it was because the winner of the Tour de France that year was a St Ettiene citizen.

Boumsongs’ worst performance in a Rangers shirt. Should have been kicked up and down that dressing room. Did a job for his old team and cost us dear.
I am still cracking teeth about it the noo, you can probably tell.

Difficult for Boumsong to do that considering he didn't join us until 2004

If he'd scored that, there would've been no Manchester only "good" thing about the sitterI'm still traumatised by Darcheville missing and absolute sitter at 1-0 that night.

Look on the bright side, without that defeat to Lyon Manchester 2008 would never have happened.

Would be a nice time to change that record! In truth they are quality opposition but we've beaten many good teams at Ibrox. Big performance needed

Really???
I was at the home game. Just shows mind playing tricks that im obviously thinking i saw the pens in person. Strange

Yes I know
My point is they have omitted the good scores
Last week did they just mention the away record v Malmo or did they mention the full record v Malmo and v Swedish Opposition.
Of course it was the latter because it was worse

I remember going to a game in the 90's . I think it might have been when we played Grasshoppers. We stayed overnight in Strasbourg , a few guys from the bus said " see you later we are off to Germany to the pub". They changed some cash into German currency and walked across the bridge into Germany. A couple of hours later they were back moaning. They had lost cash converting it to German, then had to change it back losing again and there was no one in the pub so came back with sad faces.
It was fought over between France and Germany. France got it back after World War 1. I think the Germans had had it under their control from the Franco Prussian War until then.
Pochettino missed their penalty that night. To put the icing on the cake our 'friends' from the east end of the city were knocked out of Europe that same night after losing a late goal to Partizan Belgrade.

I thought they went out to Valencia on penalties on the same night.

They did. Their penalties were being taken just before ours so the cheers in the stands in Paris were going up as they were getting knocked out.
One of my favourite away trips.

Thanks for that reminder, it's there to be improved though just like last week
Or if we beat Lyon, we go on and win the final
