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 [...]

Review: Coupe de France Round of 64

By: Thomas | Comments No Comments

This weekend has been surprisingly low on upsets for an early Coupe de France round, but that’s probably down to the postponement of eight of the 32 matches due to inclement weather conditions. In fact, the only match in which a Ligue 1 club suffered defeat to lower league opposition was the match between third [...]

Lens 1-0 Saint-Etienne

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

Sorry I’ve been away for a while, the end of the semester has been busy. However, with the start of vacation, posts should be much more frequent. I’m going to wrap up some of the Ligue 1 action since I last posted.

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 in Europe: Matchday 5 Preview (Europa League)

By: Sarah | Comments No Comments

Last week saw two huge performances from Ligue 1 in Europe as Bordeaux beat Juventus 2-0 to secure their first place finish in their group and Marseille displayed a brilliant performance at the San Siro (though only managed a draw).  Will Lille and Toulouse be able to continue this streak?

Matchday 15: Saturday Highlights

By: Thomas | Comments 1 Comment

LOSC Lille 4-0 Valenciennes FC

Lille completely dominated Valenciennes to continue their surge up the table lead by a brace from Gervinho. The dribble leading to the second goal was classic for the Ivorian striker, who also had two exceedingly easy chances that went begging. The assistant referee “injury” was simply hilarious (2:03 in [...]

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, [...]

Ligue 1 in Europe: Matchday 4 (Europa League)

By: Sarah | Comments 1 Comment

While Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille have already been grabbing the headline this week with their performances in the Champion’s League, the attention now turns to Lille and Toulouse for their games in the Europa League.  I’ll be honest, given the Ligue 1 performances earlier this week, expectations are rising– will they be able to live [...]

Matchday 12: Saturday Highlights

By: Thomas | Comments 1 Comment

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 [...]
