Only three points difference between 1. Marseille 26pts and 8. Lyon 23pts and at 12. Toulouse 21pts I have to say while no team seems to be good enough to sustain a winning streak it's a pretty exciting season. And please start winning some home games Lens so, having the 3rd biggest crowd being relegated and replaced by Châteauroux & Le Mans is not what the league needs.
i agree with you 100% per cent we need NANTES BACK! STRASBOURG BACK! TOURS BACK! ALSACE has Very nice x-mas markets check out place kleber
Yea Nantes & Strasbourg back would be great. My ideal 20 teams for Ligue 1 Marseille Lyon Lens Bordeaux Saint-Etienne Paris SG Rennes Caen Montpellier Toulouse Lille Reims Nantes Strasbourg Bastia Lorient Nice Monaco AJ Auxerre Metz (Maybe Tours get a shot at getting promoted the 2nd year Mostly good crowds, good history and some sentimental favorites, it's intresting though how it's always seems to be the club with the smallest crowds that do well in Ligue 2 & National while bigger clubs like Nantes & Strasbourg suffer from bad management, economics and performance.
1) i would definitely take le havre over caen. 2) my ideal marseille is one that fits in my car ashtray.
whos getting the new stadium Le havre 25k brand new looks like an mini Man city stade caen got a old smelly 20k build in 1993
There's a crazy game with Lille - Lorient at the moment . 4-3 to Lille but look at the sequence ... 6' [0 - 1] K. Gameiro 12' [1 - 1] M. Sow 18' [2 - 1] M. Sow 45' [2 - 2] K. Gameiro 49' [3 - 2] M. Sow 57' [3 - 3] L. Kitambala 58' [4 - 3] Gervinho
I expected Monfils to lose , Djokovic is just too good . What I didn't expect was Llodra to lose like that .. I feel for him , he couldn't stop crying , he felt he let everyone down . He tried and fought as much as he could , unfortunately Serbia was just dominant on the day
Bordeaux - Rennes , what an horrible horrible match . Two teams with no technical ability . I think Rennes had their first shot of the match after 70 minutes or something .
i didn't see a single minute or highlight of VAFC-PSG, but for the rest i didn't see much good... except for lyon yesterday, whose quality almost made up for everyone else. if only every weekend could be like this one! we'd win the title with 15 points to spare!
Well if their goalkeeper wasn't being superman on the day then we would've won by alot more . Regarding L1 , I laugh at the people who try to convince themselves that L1 in general is an attacking league . I think it's the most defensive league in europe . Not just that but the quality is terrible ! Some of the " footballers " in this league will have better success in athletics/bodybuilding . Honestly , how they earn this money is crazy !! French football is a fail right now .
Which I always felt would happen come this time. I don't know, I can't bring myself to be overly critical of the quality of the league. There are some quality players plying their trade, and some of the teams I feel are really good. But you will have weeks were everyone looks like shit, it happens in other leagues too, everyone just magnifies our faults. We're are always looking for them.
a nil-nil isn't necessarily a horrible match per se (although bordeaux-rennes was indeed painful to watch). critical of ligue 1? for me the question is irrelevant. it's the league my team plays in, it's the one i follow. the rest is of no importance. point. barre. if i was living in the states and going to 'quake matches the equation would be identical; i almost got into an MLS = mickey mouse thread on those grounds. i subscribe to C+ because i'm an OL fan. it offers me 3-4 matches a week in each of the 3 "big" leagues. did i watch barça win the plastico 4-0? tottenham-chelsea? MU-arsenal? not a bit of it! lviv-PSG, lorient-lens (even on the computer with foot+)... those are football matches!
i still believe in Ligue1 its a great League last weeks games wasn't world class! but sometimes the epl La Liga seria aren't world class too !they have bad weeks believe me i watch alittle bit of everything then i have the time i can't wait for France to start Building all there new stadiums Arsène Wenger wants to see PSG play in the champions league next year so do i so do i Mr Wenger!
21 Décembre 10h35 OM - Brandao déjà en vacances ? Champion de France en titre et grand favori à sa propre succession, l'Olympique de Marseille traverse une période difficile puisqu'il reste sur une série de quatre matches sans victoire (trois nuls, une défaite) en Ligue 1. Le club phocéen tentera de conclure la phase aller du championnat sur une bonne note mercredi, avec au programme un déplacement à Brest. Une rencontre pour laquelle Brandao est très incertain. Le Brésilien s'est blessé au tendon d'Achille face à l'Olympique Lyonnais et n'a pu s'entraîner lundi. Selon La Provence, une décision quant à sa participation au dernier match de l'année 2010 sera prise ce mardi. Rappelons que l'OM est d'ores et déjà privé des services d'Édouard Cissé et de Vitorino Hilton, tous deux blessés.
Adil Rami signing with Valencia in June for 6M. http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/tran...l-rami-to-make-summer-move-to-valencia-report
Its weird because Rami would cost Marseille or Lyon a lot more than 6m if they wanted him. I believe Lille was asking for 15m at the time. 6m for some foreign club is like a throwaway. I dont understand it.
