Ligue 1: Matchday 20 Saturday Review

By: Thomas | Comments No Comments

Montpellier 1-0 Nice

Well, Montpellier seem to have recovered from their match midweek. Victor Hugo Montano seems to think he’s the next Diego Maradona, attempting a “hand of god” that was coolly spotted by the linesman and disallowed. I think we now have conclusive evidence that on current form David Ospina is the worst keeper [...]

Ligue 1 Week 19 Review

By: Thomas | Comments 1 Comment

Thirty goals were scored in Ligue 1 these past two days, nearly twice as many as last week, 39 yellow and 3 red cards were handed out, and Lille have +20 goal differential in the last six matches.
Lens 1-0 Saint-Etienne

I’ve only seen brief highlights of the match, but despite new ASSE manager Christophe Galtier’s decision [...]

Goal of the Week: Round 18

By: Thomas | Comments 4 Comments

There were so few goals this week this shouldn’t be to hard, especially since one of them was truly stunning. The last time I did this was waaay back in week 13, and Bastos won our poll there.

Michel Bastos (Lyon), 22nd minute, against Stephane Ruffier.

That was one cracker of a free kick, perfectly placed, perfectly [...]

Matchday 18: Saturday Review

By: Thomas | Comments 2 Comments

Grenoble 1-1 Nice

Grenoble are slowly gaining a few points, and Nice are displaying their complete lack of quality aside from Mounier and Remy. They may well be the best pair of wingers in the league, but they’ve got NOBODY around them. I suppose the Apam and Bagayoko suspensions hardly help.

Matchday 16: Sunday Recap

By: Thomas | Comments 1 Comment

Auxerre 1-3 Nancy

Remember how I called Valenciennes “the poster child of inconsistency” in yesterdays post? Well Nancy are the less good poster child of inconsistency. AJA were without captain Benoit Pedretti and top scorer Ireneusz Jelen and it showed. Apart from that magical Birsa free kick, Auxerre will be disappointed. Check out the Auxerre Offside [...]

Ligue 1 Matchday 15: Tops and Flops

By: Sarah | Comments 6 Comments

Who excelled and who crashed?  Several “big” teams suffered some surprising results this weekend– OM lost at the final moment to Lens, former league leaders Auxerre were defeated by PSG, Lyon couldn’t find a better result than a draw against Rennes and Toulouse only barely beat Ligue 1 whipping boy Boulogne by a single goal.

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

By: Thomas | Comments 2 Comments

One of the most exciting weekends in memory culminates with “The Match of the Century” (That last part of the title is a joke, in case you were worried)
Le Mans UC 72 0 – 1 AJ Auxerre

AJA pushed into the top three, at least temporarily, as they eked out a win against Paolo Duarte’s side, [...]
