French Division 1 Results/News: Week of 8-23 to 8-28 [R]

[jamison]

In an effort to make these discussions a little more timely and easier to follow, I will be creating a new thread each week with a sticky for the news/results of that week (No need to have the 8/3 thread last us until May.)

At the end of the week, the thread will be un-stuck and a new one created. Feel free to continue any news or discussions from that week in the old thread.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions or comments.

Just as a starter, this week's fixtures:

8-24
Nantes v Lens at La Beaujoire
AC Ajaccio v Sedan at Francois-Coty
Auxerre v Guingamp at Abbe-Deschamps
Bordeaux v Strasbourg at Parc Lescure
Lyon v Bastia at Municipal De Gerland
Monaco v Sochaux at Stade Louis II
Nice v Montpellier at Municipal du Ray
Rennes v Marseille at Route de Lorient

8-25
Le Havre v PSG at Jules-Dechasseaux

And standings after today's Lille game:

Pts
Guingamp 7
Bordeaux 7
Nice 6
Auxerre 6
Nantes 6
Lyon 5
Sochaux 5
Le Havre 5
Lens 5

It should have just been "Ligue 1 and 2 [R]," not date specific. There isn't enough traffic in this forum.

I understand your point, but I think you are missing mine. The 8/3 thread has like 20+ posts in it, most of them not on the news of 8/3. It might create more threads, but you won't have to pass the same news over and over again to get to current results, etc.

I trust that you will continue to fill us in on a regular basis.

If everyone hates this idea, I am cool with going back to the old way, I just thought this might help.

I see.

Sounds good to me.

Where in the world can we find French posters?

I only use BigSoccer but of the many forums I've seen, very rarely are there any French football fans about...

It was one of those nights for title-chasers Bordeaux against Strasbourg. The Girondins insisted they needed a win against the Alsacians to get hold of the top. They were unexpectedly denied.
