Incommunicado


Standard de Liege seems to be the nearest team of any significance around here.

Judging by the posters in the bar where we had ‘bier’ and some ‘frittes’ at lunchtime, it would seem they were the champions last season (2007-8).

I’m not sure of what. Are they Belgium’s ManUre I wonder?

I think they play in red and white although the shop window display I saw was a little ambiguous.

I don’t know anything else about them.

Oh for access to the internet.

They won the Jupiler League last season (Belgium's PL).
They're called the Reds(les Rouches) and their home kits are mainly red.

Thanks Fleur. So they are Belgium's ManUre then.

Erm, I guess. Don't have that much sympathy for them though. then again I don't have much sympathy for most Belgian footie teams. There's some new young talent coming up though (see our national under 21s) but most of that'll be snatched up by Germany and other countries for club football as usuall.
