Week 13: Grenoble Nolonger Pointless, Several Suffer Strokes Over OL-OM

Matchday 12: Saturday Highlights
By: Thomas |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.

Debate: The Best Players in Ligue 1
By: Thomas |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 [...]

By: Thomas |This week we’re on to part three, including Monaco, Montpellier, Nancy, Nice, and PSG. Let’s begin…
AS Monaco FC
Classy and classic. Nothing out of the ordinary for Monaco.
