So it may seem like a stretch here, but with the signing of Yoann Gouffran from Caen and the loan of Yohann Gourcuff from AC Milan, Bordeuax will look to prosper from the GOU connection. Of course Gouffran is a forward/winger and Gourcuff is a central midfielder, but the two signings look to have put [...]

So after being humiliated at the European Championships yet again, we now see that the national squad will be undergoing significant changes. It seems logical that Domenech will be fired, hopefully with a Marie Antoinette style guillotine execution in front of the Parisien crowds. Both Bixente Lizarazu and Marcel Desailly both supported the idea of [...]

How do you say fire Domenech in French? Does not matter what language, he is rubbish and has ruined our EURO campaign. Feel free to trash talk here.

Ohhh boy, here is Ray Ray’s new squad list, all the possible player he will evaluate to take to the EURO this summer, because late season form does not seem to matter to much to him. Curious choices include leaving David Trezeguet out yet again, which looks likely to continue past the EURO, and the [...]

Everyone knows that every year there’s that one lower-division club that makes a mockery of a few bigger names in the domestic cup, wherever it may be. French fans usually name Calais or Lyon-La-Duchère, or Monceau-Les-Mines as we saw last year. But hey, hey, what do you say- We’ve got a new David on the [...]

Everyone seems to know about Benzema and Ben Arfa at Lyon, Nasri and Valbuena at Marseille, even Menez and Gakpe at Monaco. What people dont know though is that Ligue 1 has so much more to offer in terms of talent then just these few youngsters. Yeah, thats right, lots and lots of young talent [...]

Category: France Ligue 1The Stupid Sending-Off To Rule Over All Other Stupid Sendings-Off

Ever since I really got into professional football a few years back, I’d been wondering if it had ever been done, but I never in my life had heard of it happening. Until today. In a Ligue 2 match that couldn’t possibly have been more ordinary, pitting middle-of-the-pack Reims against last-place Gueugnon, the score was [...]
