[Albion] Marseille

[peterward]

For anyone going , Jamie Oliver just done his 1 hour tv program from there - showing you various sights , looks a lovely place.

The bakery looked good, but the seafood bouillabaisse on the boat had me drooling!

Thx for recommendation

How are Olympique de Marseille doing?
Performance in Competitions
12th in Ligue 1 / 2nd in Europa League

Recent Form
01/09/23 - Nantes 1-1 Marseille (Ligue 1)
17/09/23 - Marseille 0-0 Toulouse (Ligue 1)
21/09/23 - Ajax 3-3 Marseille (Europa League)
24/09/23 - PSG 4-0 Marseille (Ligue 1)
30/09/23 - Monaco 3-2 Marseille (Ligue 1)

Key Players & Manager
Top Scorer - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (4 Goals / 10 Games)
Most Assists - Amine Harit (3 Assists / 9 Games)
Look Out For - Jonathan Clauss (RWB)
Injured - Geoffrey Kondogbia (CDM) & Ismaila Sarr (RW)

Manager - Gennaro Gattuso

Prediction
Marseille will want to improve on their current form under their newly-appointed manager Gennaro Gattuso. It will be the Italian's first game at the Stade Vélodrome as he will face another Italian, Roberto de Zerbi. Hopefully the Seagulls will bounce-back from a disappointing loss in what should be an enthrilling European match!

(I predicted 3-1 to Marseille previously, but have changed my mind)
4-3 to the Albion

I'm flying out on Wednesday morning on the 1115 Lufthansa flight from Gatwick. 2 hours in Frankfurt airport before heading down to Marseille.

Anyone else doing the same?

Am I the only one who has looked to make a pre-emptive hotel booking for Athens - the Conference League final is being played at AEK - in order to beat the later rush and associated price hikes?

Booked day after fixtures announced with flights from Stansted. Going with wife and 2 adult sons for 4 day sightseeing and footie if we get a ticket. I should but sons are only myAlbion+ so less chance. Will enjoy Parthenon etc otherwise.

Why not go when we’re definitely playing there in November not when we might possibly play there in April

It’s in half term so might explain it with the kids going.

 

[SeagullMike]

At least two of us on that flight.

Awesome! I hope you’ve not had your travel plans getting to the airport affected by the ongoing strikes! Might join you for a drink before the flight! What area are you staying in? I’ll be in a hostel - trying to keep this trip as cost effective as possible! - in the Saint-Victor area, I think, south of le vieux port.
