Who are the best players in Ligue 1?
A few weeks ago, Thomas proposed his list of Ligue 1’s top 50 players. While there were some suggested changes to move a few players a few slots up or down in the comments– in general the readers (or at least those who felt strongly enough [...]
Ligue 1 in the Champions League- Matchday 3
By: Sarah | 3 Comments
It is that time again– the time where heroes are made and dreams are crushed (at least until the next game).

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 [...]
Debate: The Best Players in Ligue 1
By: Thomas | 17 Comments
Recently, Rob posted an article on the main page about FourFourTwo’s latest ‘Top 100 Players’ list. This made me think about how much I love arguing over things like this, but also reminded me that there are shockingly few lists and debates of this sort about Ligue 1 in English. I think it’s [...]

Sainté began the season with three strait losses, including one to newly promoted US Boulogne. It seemed as if the ten time champions would have another season fighting relegation.
