Penaud Le Populaire

Cherge · 2014-02-27 15:08:12

Un bout de Populaire ce matin. Pour illustrer le post de Boris un "song" créé aux Saracens pour lui:

His name is Alain Penaud – He prob’ly drives a Renault – He plays at number ten-oh – Right next to Nice-But-Dim [Kyran Bracken, of course]

To:

His name is Alain Penaud – He prob’ly drives a Renault – Won’t play for us again, no! – He’s f****d off back to France!

J'adore ce que dit Penaud sur Sébastien dans cet article.
Ce mec à toujours été d'une grande lucidité :

"Il y a du bon chez Patrick, mais je pense qu'il ne comprenait pas grand chose au rugby et qu'il voulait s'occuper de tout. Cela a été dommageable pour le club"

Une chanson Cherge?

Saracens Top 10 Busts - Alain Penaud
By The Fezboys
August 8 2012

It was always gong to be a tough assignment; following in the footsetps of Michael Lynagh. Sarries needed an international-class fly half and who better than one with plenty of experience as part of the France squad, not to mention the captain of a Heineken Cup winning team. What on Earth could go wrong?
Name: Alain Penaud

International Caps: 32, France.

Joined from: Brive

Time at Saracens: 1998-1999

Appearances: 27

Points: 73

Famous for: Probably driving a Renault, never being selected for any of the four World Cups for which he was eligible and captaining Brive to a four-try, 27-9 thumping of Leicester (never miss a chance to talk about Tigers fans weeping, eh?) in the 1997 Heineken Cup Final.

Hype: Upon his arrival, Francois Pienaar said of the replacement for the newly-retired Michael Lynagh “We looked far and wide for Michael's replacement. A couple of names came up and we had meetings with most of them. Mark Evans travelled all over Europe to meet the players but we decided on Alain for a number of reasons. He was always our first choice and we are delighted he has agreed to join the Saracens family. Alain is a fantastic player with a very physical game.”

Reality: Despite the Francois flannel, hardly set the world alight and was a little temperamental, not unlike other French players. Left after just one year of a three-year contract because, allegedly, his missus didn't like the hell hole that is St Albans. There's no pleasing some people.

Most memorable Sarries moment: Trying to bum cigarettes in the Red Lion after a Vicarage Road match, only to be rumbled by Francois Pienaar. Penaud scarpered quicker than we ever saw him run on the pitch.

What Happened Next: The last two lines of the song penned by us for him had to be re-written in a hurry.

Pas vraiment flatteur comme portrait...

Surtout que Penaud dit que là-bas c'était le pied.

Et c'est moi où il n'a rien à foutre des questions du journaliste dans la première partie de l'interview sur l'EDF ?

Ben je me suis fait la même réflexion!
Alain a été un grand 10, mais un bien mauvais orateur. Depuis qu'il a pris sa retaite sportive, il semble toujours pas apaisé... Dommage, parce que ça doit être bon mec, avec encore quelques difficultés de communication.
