A Quick Sunday Roundup

By: Thomas | Comments No Comments

Time to talk about today’s three matches…
Rennes 0-3 Valenciennes

Rennes dominated from the off, having a Peter Hansson goal wrongly dissalowed, followed by numerous chances including an Ekoko shot that hit the bar. The first goal came a little way into the second half, when Valenciennes’ new center-back Dianbobo Balde headed in from close range. This [...]

AJ Auxerre 2-1 Montpellier Hérault SC

Montpellier are beginning to lose their sheen. It seems they can’t hold up against traditional tough midtable sides like Rennes and Auxerre. They’ve also lost the surprise effect. Opposing managers now have an idea of what they’re up against, and have discovered the club’s weaknesses. Getting Ireneusz Jelen [...]

Ligue 1 In Europe: Review

By: Thomas | Comments 2 Comments

Remember how everyone was saying this would be the Bundesliga’s year to push Serie A out of it’s number three spot? I think we’ve officially got a new candidate. This week contained monumental victories for Ligue 1. On Tuesday Lyon became only the second French club ever to win at Anfield, and are now undefeated [...]

Ligue 1 Internationals

By: Sarah | Comments 2 Comments

Update! Thanks to Thomas for pointing out some of the players I missed last night! I’ve updated the post to reflect a more accurate (I’m pretty sure a few are still missing…) aggregate list.
This post is slightly late– half of the games have already happened– so apologies for my [...]

Matchday 17: PSG Good, Lyon Bad

By: Sam | Comments 1 Comment

Well, it wasn’t at home, and death threats are perhaps still in circulation, but come on- do a jig, PSG are no longer part of the relegation trio, thanks to a win snatched from Auxerre at l’Abbé-Deschamps on Sunday. And who could’ve been more symbolic in scoring the only goal in that match than Péguy [...]

Matchday 16: Wait for it… Wait for it… Bam! Goals!

By: Sam | Comments 2 Comments

Let’s just say Canal+ picked the right three matches to be shown on TV on Sunday. In those three, which were Valenciennes-Rennes, Bordeaux-Toulouse and Lyon-Strasbourg, fifteen goals were scored. And these weren’t your everyday five-goal matches, no sir (thank God!). Valenciennes continued their impressive first half of the season with a 3-0 triumph over Rennes, [...]
