The Helmond Cup

[aveslacker]

IIRC it was also the Auxerre away match that ended Ronald Koeman's career at Ajax.

[beelzebub]

And it was also the debut match of Emmanuelson I think.

Thanks for the link Orange14.

Auxerre won the away match again Dijon with 0-2 yesterday, giving them some space at the bottom of the table as they climbed from 20th to 17th spot:

Code: Selecteer alles

17. Auxerre      35  7 13 15  34  43-48
18. Stade Brest  35  6 16 13  34  28-37
19. Dijon        35  9  7 19  34  37-57
20. FC Sochaux   35  8  9 18  33  35-59

[Kowalczyk]

Bordeaux had an easy one at Auxerre: 2-4. The start was amazing: it was 0-3 after 9 minutes (goals in the 1', 5' and 9'). The defeat pushed Auxerre back to the bottom slot. Helmond Cup holders Bordeaux climbed to 7th. Europa League qualification is very much in sight.

Three more matches to go in Ligue 1.

Another win for Bordeaux. They jumped from 7th to 5th and can qualify for a Europa League preliminary round on the last matchday of the season (Sunday 20 May). But it's not guaranteed: it's very tight and they play St. Etienne (who are 6th) in what could turn out to be a head-to-head 'final' with one Europa League ticket at stake.

No matter what happens: after next week's match the summer break starts for the Helmond Cup. The trophy will spend the summer in either Bordeaux or St. Etienne.

Since its inaugural season (2007-2008) the Helmond Cup spent summers in Volendam (2008), Donetsk (2009), Milan (2010) and Albacete (2011). The trophy will spend the summer of 2012 in... Bordeaux, France!

Girondins Bordeaux won their last game of the season at St. Etienne (who were 6th). The game was, pretty much, a head-to-head 'final' with one Europa League ticket at stake. Bordeaux won (2-3), finished 5th and secured a slot in the preliminary rounds of the Europa League.

The Helmond Cup season 2011-2012 has finished. The cup is in Bordeaux and the first Helmond Cup fixture will be the first official match of Girondins Bordeaux (t.b.a.).

Around 11 August for the competition will be probably their first match. They don't play French Supercup or one of the two French cups earlier.

There is a slight change the cup returns back to Holland as end of August Bordeaux plays Qualifying round 4 of the EL. If Feyenoords is kicked out of the CL qualifying round it is possible they enter qualifying of the EL and meet Bordeaux.

Hurray, the Helmond Cups first appearance in the country of the football founding fathers. Of the big six competitions (Italy, Spain, England, Germany, France and the Netherlands ) it is only missing Germany now.

[Tom_]

Don't think it can make its way to City before we beat them in the ArenA...

[Kowalczyk]

Don't think it can make its way to City before we beat them in the ArenA...

I didn't look into that yet... You sure?

And what about the return leg in Manchester...? (which we probably won't win anyway, but just for the record)

K.

[beelzebub]

If you just fork the premier league fixtures it is difficult.
After this weekends match we have qualifiers for WC 2014.

In the weekend of 20/21 October:
Manchester Utd - Stoke City
Sunderland - Newcastle United

27/28 October
Stoke City - Sunderland
Newcastle United - WBA
Chelsea - Manchester Utd

3/4 November
Manchester Utd - Arsenal
Norwich City - Stoke City
Sunderland - Aston Villa
Swansea City - Chelsea
Liverpool - Newcastle United
WBA - Southampton

Maybe the FA Cup or League Cup can help us.

[Tom_]

Yeah, I only looked at the Premier League. Didn't realise there were cup games soon as well.

[Kowalczyk]

Not entirely unexpectedly, the Helmond Cup is now in the hands of... Manchester United!
