Ligue 1 The real home of football

[Flavs]

Dont know if any of you lot are inerested in French football but it certainly keeps my ineterest. If there is interest i am happy to keep this thread updated with news, transfers and results and the such.

Interesting coming into the last game of the season that Monaco most likely will be relegated, there last game? Lyon :pal:

Lille have already been crowned champions are Lens and Avignon are already relgated, unsurprisingly marseille and Lyon make up the champs league places with the ever improving PSG getting the UEFA cup spot, along with cup runners up my very own Montpellier.

Lyon have confirmed rhat Remi Garde is to succeed Claude Puel as manager at Stade GeRland.



The Ligue 1 outfit finally severed ties with [URL="http://topics.skysports.com/Claude+P}el/?sec|ion=football"]Puel[/URL

[Cripps_orig]

New Lyon (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/teams/france/54/o-lyon) boss Remi Garde (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/people/france/55455/remi-garde) has cited Arsene Wenger (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/people/france/2843/arsene-wenger) and Stoke City (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/teams/england/717/stoke-city) as inspiration for how his team will play.
The 45-year-old Frenchman is keen for his side to combine the never-say-die attitude of Tony Pulis’ men and the flowing game Arsenal play under Wenger.
Garde, who played for the Gunners (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3274/ligue-1/2011/06/30/2554274/lyon-boss-remi-garde-my-team-will-take-inspiration-from#) between 1996 and 1999, has ambitions to win by playing the "beautiful game".
"It’s the alchemy that’s made Arsene Wenger successful: keep the English fighting spirit and have the game flowing and moving,” Garde told Foot01.
“I have other sources of inspiration. I like the will of Stoke City and Birmingham City (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3274/ligue-1/2011/06/30/2554274/lyon-boss-remi-garde-my-team-will-take-inspiration-from#) in terms of desire to give energy and commitment.
“Yes, I am ambitious, as I have said. Everyone in the club is, even if our talk is more cautious.
“I do not think you can win back the public without [positive] results. To play the beautiful game and lose, that’s not my goal.”
The former French international played at Lyon through his youth from 1982, becoming club captain in the process before he left for Strasbourg in 1993.
The defender joined Arsenal on the same day as Patrick Vieira, but unlike the Gunners legend, Garde was always expected to be used as experienced cover.
With age and a persistent knee injury hampering his career, he retired in June 1999 at the London club.
His appointment as manager of Lyon is his first role as head coach, although he has worked over the past few years as a coach and assistant manager at the French club.

Arsenal and Stoke?

Hows that then? Pass, pass, pass, hoof, pass, pass, hoof, get a throw in, chuck it in, and score?

[Kaiser]

Like the Czech Republic of old, I guess. Pass pass pass between Nedved, Rosicky, Poborsky etc then hoof for Koller to head in? Loved that team at Euro 2004.

[Cripps_orig]

JOE COLE introduced himself to his Lille team-mates at dinner on Friday with a lusty rendition of 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner'.

Quite what two Poles, a Brazilian, a couple of Belgians, three Senegalese, a Montenegrin, a Nigerian and a gaggle of bemused Frenchmen made of that is anyone's guess.

But, pretty soon, the only Englishman in the squad hopes to be able to sing it in French, as Camden-born Cole insists he will embrace all aspects of his surprising loan move to France's Lique 1.

The out-of-favour Liverpool star got through the toughest part of this new venture with a 25-minute debut at St Etienne on Saturday, the climax of which was setting up Ludovic Obraniak for the last goal in a 3-1 win.

And 29-year-old Cole said: "I was so nervous, it was completely new.

"If I was making my debut for another English team, I would have known the style and the routines.

"I've learnt 'droit' and 'gauche' to turn right and left. I've also tried to learn 'Man on!' so, yes, I'm enjoying the challenge.

"I sang 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner' to the lads on Friday and it got a better reception than at Chelsea. Put it this way, I didn't get pelted with rolls and potatoes!

"On Monday, I am going to download some French and get cracking with that.

"Things are so different. For instance, we've got to clean our own boots and carry our own boots to games here.

"The club gives you a lot of responsibility. There are a lot of things changing and it's a big challenge.

"But every day I go into work, it becomes a little bit more familiar and I think to myself 'Yeah, I'm in the right place here' — the way they play football suits me down to the ground.

"I could have gone to an English club but I just thought it was the right time to try a new challenge in a new country.

"I'm sure there will be some moments when I get the language mixed up but I am trying."

Midfielder Cole was sent off on his Liverpool debut last August so a few mixed-up French verbs is nothing to worry about.

He joked: "Anything less than a red card was always going to be an improvement wasn't it?

"Seriously though, it's been good. The manager wants me to come in slowly. It is a strong squad and he knows what I need.

"He says everything in French at half-time, so I just tried to listen. I didn't think I knew any French but there are a few words I could make out, so it was all good."

Cole's biggest problem was finding a way to watch Match of the Day on Saturday. His first question after helping Lille triumph was to ask how both Liverpool and West Ham had got on.

Clearly, he is not leaving everything English behind but, hopefully, Cole is at last singing from the same song sheet as his manager.

Hes become a bit shit but fair play to him and trying out a new challenge instead of doing the usual English thing and stay in the comfort zone

current league table after 5 games is lead by my families home town team Montpelier closely followed by reigning champs Lille, multi gazillionaires PSG and Remi Garde's Lyon.

No real surprises in the rest of the table. Only Arsenal related news is that old Marvin the Martian has signed a new 4 year contract at Sochaux.


In terms of Europe this season Lille, Lyon and Marseille are at the big table while PSG And Stade Rennais are at the side table (With spurs)

Joe Cole scored for Lille in a 1-1 draw with Lorient :faint:.

PSG go top on goal difference and Joe the Cole scores for Lille as well.

Montpellier hit the top of the pops after the weekends games and are now looking like seriously shaking up the usual yawn fest at the top of the french league, more pertinent to me as they are my team in France but an interesting article on the club and french ligue as a whole

http://www.ligue1.com/ligue1/article/spiro-blog-loulou-s-montpellier-spice-up-title-race.htm

[Master Splinter]

Former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has been confirmed as the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain.

The Italian, 52, was announced as manager at a news conference at the Parc des Princes stadium on Friday.

"I think I can do good work here," said Ancelotti. "We have all the conditions to succeed. I am delighted and very enthusiastic about this project."

Antoine Kombouare, who led PSG to the top of the French league, had been sacked by the club just hours earlier.

The French side released a statement saying: "After two years in which he served with passion as PSG coach, Antoine Kombouare has left as of this date.

"PSG would like to thank him for the professionalism he has shown throughout his work and expresses its best wishes for his success in his new endeavours.

His deal with PSG has taken some time to put together, complicated by the fact that 48-year-old Kombouare was not sacked by the club until Friday.

Although Kombouare led PSG to the top of the Ligue 1 table at the winter break, he also oversaw their exit from the Europa League group stage.

The club's Qatari owners have lofty ambitions and are keen to bring high-profile names to the French capital.

Former AC Milan boss Ancelotti could be joined shortly by David Beckham, whom he coached briefly at the Italian club during the former England captain's first loan spell at the San Siro.

PSG are hoping to complete a deal to sign the former England skipper once his contract with Los Angeles Galaxy expires at the end of December.

However, BBC Sport understands Beckham is leaning towards staying in the US with LA Galaxy.

Ancelotti won a league and cup double with Chelsea in his first season in charge before he was sacked at the end of last season despite finishing second in the Premier League.

The Italian was also a two-time Champions League winner during his decade-long spell at Milan.

Qatar Sports Investments bought PSG last summer and their president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, promised "to make the club a great team and a strong brand on the international scene".

They promptly spent £71.3m to attract new talent, including paying £35.2m to Italian side Palermo for 22-year-old midfielder Javier Pastore.

Can't work out what the pull of being there might be.

[Master Splinter]

[Flavs]

I know this thread never caught but the best Ligue 1 game in years happened on the weekend where Bordeaux eventually managed to beat Lille 4-5 in the 93rd minute after Nolan Roux had equalised for Lille in the 89th minute.

http://www.ligue1.com/ligue1/feuille_match/74592

Also Monty are solidly second now some 10points clear of Lille after the 3-0 drubbing of Ajaccio, PSG could only manage a 0-0 at Nice and brilliantly Lyon lost at home to Caen. :pal:

Frenchies :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lyon were 4-2 up against PSG, drew 4-4. PSG's equaliser came in the 90th minute. What kind of team would let that happen? :lol:

Strangely enough the way the goals went is exactly how it went for our game with the Spuds in the 4-4.

[Flavs]

http://www.ligue1.com/

Monty back on top :bow:

Also i dont see how the 4-4 could be the game of the season when the 5-4 between Lille and Bordeaux happened the week before? PSG are rapidly turning into the Manyoo of Ligue 1. Also congrats to Brest who beat Marseille and increased the calls for the pixie's head from the Marsielle board

[Flavs]

http://www.ligue1.com/

PS Cheat back on top again after drubbing Ajaccio at home. Monty slip up as they only manage a 1-1 at Dijon.

On the funny side however Marseille lost at home to Toulouse :pal: And Lyon lost to Nancy :pal:and Bordeaux lost to Nice :pal:

Frenchies :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Marseille lost again, 1-0 at Ajaccio.

Deschamps :rose:.

I could see him at Chelsea soon.

[Flavs]

Marseille lost again, 1-0 at Ajaccio.

Deschamps :rose:.

I could see him at Chelsea soon.
And then went on to knock Inter out of the champions league

:banghead:

[Master Splinter]

Marseille currently losing 1-0 to division 3 team Quevilly in the Coupe de France quarter-finals.

They are terrible at the moment.

Inter :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

It was 1-1 at FT.

Finished 3-2 AET, Remy had equalised twice.

Marseille :haha: :haha:.

Deschamps :haha:.

[Flavs]

http://www.ligue1.com/ligue1/article/giroud-and-belhanda-take-montpellier-clear.htm

Monty batter Marseilles to move 3 points clear at the top, the big man Giroud scored again (that's 19 in the league this season) and Barcelona/Juve bound Younes Belhanda scored twice to ensure that Marseilles continue to be shit and Monty keep multi-bazillionaires PSG away from the title.

Although there was a campaign by Marseilles fans to let Montpellier win just so PSG lose the tile :lol:

[Kaiser]

Those part-timers Quevilly just beat Rennes (including M'Vila) to reach the Cup final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

M'Vila. :lol:

Quevilly face Lyon in the final I think.

[Flavs]

I know i am biased but i think it would be awesome if Monty can hang on and win the league from PSG, not just for the morale connotations but also for the fact its the equivalent of say West Brom winning the premier league as the bazillionaires at Chelsea, Citeh and Manyoo wept into their pimms.

Or the equivalent of Espanyol lifting the la liga title as city neighbours Barcelona complained they wanted all their bung money back from the Spanish FA

Or Atalanta bucking the match fixing monies of Italy and winning the title

Good goal, tbf.

http://www.ligue1.com/

Monty limp to a 1-0 win to stay 2 points clear as PSG hit 6 past Sochaux, lorient lost which leaves them close to relegation as well.

Looks like Auxerre will definitely go down now as well.

Interesting last 3 games

[Flavs]

http://www.ligue1.com/

Looking good now, after Monty beat Toulouse on Friday night and then PSG failed to win at Lille they are 5 clear with 4 left. In Arsenal related news Lorient beat Marseilles 2-1 to pretty much save themselves from relegation and also condemn Didier Deschamps to the crap heap :pal:

[Master Splinter]

PSG :lol:.

Montpellier :bow:.

Win the title and then sell your players to Arsenal.

And Newcastle.

[Flavs]

http://www.ligue1.com/ligue1/article/camara-misses-from-spot-as-montpellier-held.htm

Ended up 2-2 after what can only be called an epic, 4 goals, 4 sendings off, 2 knock outs and a missed penalty :lol:

French football kicks arse tbf, also Monty are now 6 points clear with PSG playing the Saints of Etienne tonight

[Flavs]

http://www.ligue1.com/

Monty's 0-2 win over Rennes is enough to keep them 3 clear with 2 left :dance:

The relegation battle however continues to be incredibly close, even Lorient aren't safe yet!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

PSG :lol:.

Montpellier :bow:.

Win the title and then sell your players to Arsenal.

If i was to take anyone from Montpellier it wouldnt be him tbh. Belhanda or Yanga-Mbiwa would fit us much better

So then, with a 3 point lead and the same goal difference Monty go into the last game of the season with one hand on the trophy, the relegation battle continues to be ridiculously close even after we say goodbye to Auxerre (Bac :rose)

Last day see's Monty away at relegated Auxerre and PSG away at Lorient who could still be relegated. I thinkw e are all praying for Joel Campbell, Aliadiere and Sunu to do the biz.

His Loyalty to his Cousin TV5 should be enough tbh. TV5 needs to have a word with his aunt tbh.

I've decided that TV5 is shit at everything he does these days. We should send Mertesacker after his fine form pulling Podolski and cheating on Djourou. That is if we are serious about signing Eden. We shouldn't be serious though. He will leave us in transition in 2-3 years time. But then again we can't count on our English youths after the way they disgraced themselves last night. So in summary, we should sign him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is the thing. Since the great death of Windshear circa 2011 our GHEL plans are on the back-burner.

We'll have to wait for the next crop now. And ban them from watching Gossip Girl.

Montano and the awesomely named Kembo-Ekoko with the goals.

Our players are an odd bunch. Think the party line yesterday was saying how inspired they were by Chelsea. Even Jesus Horsecock Bacary was at it.

If Vinger pulled Eden Hazzers out of the bag it would be incredible. Send Gervais back the other way.

[Marc Overmars]

Pretty sure Hazzers will end up at City. I'm sure Nasri will be delighted as he won't have to play every week.

He's checking the yellow bar on Sky to see if we've signed Giroud.

[Cripps_orig]

So who won?

Impressive 6 pages for the last day.

Cba going through it though

[KSE Comedy Club]

Montpellier won it, a victory for football.

PSG finished second.

[Syn]

Montpellier won it, a victory for all of Africa.

:rolleyes:

[KSE Comedy Club]

:rolleyes:Dirty racist :sulk:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Dirty racist :sulk:

Nah he's not Racist he just don't like Africans.

[GP]

Nah he's not Racist he just don't like Africans.

who does?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

who does?

Your face

[GP]

Your face

Well that's true.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Well that's true.

Oh its Real, its damm Real.

[Flavs]

Montpellier won it, a victory for football.

PSG finished second.

And.......stop grinning like an eejut. I have to say it was an epic night and quite extraordinary when a ickle team that few had heard of prior to 2 seasons ago can win the title in this league with the ominous shadow of PSG lurking like a big Euro sign.

This is the equivalent of Everton or Stoke winning the premiership with Man citeh as they are now for those who cant fathom it. Yes the players will be sold off in the summer and yes they will go out of the champs league at the first hurdle but it doesn't matter, for one summer the sun shone on a tiny corner of France and some boys in orange and blue

[GP]

A must Wenget.

[Flavs]

Also, and yes i know no-one cares, Monaco didn't get promoted back into ligue 1, in fact they finished a pathetic 8th. Bastia, Troyes and Reims all come up into Ligue 1 with Auxerre, Dijon and Caen all dropping into Ligue 2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Speaking of Monaco, Ranieri has been appointed.

West Brom. :lol:

[Flavs]

yeah i saw that on SSN this morning, nice placer to retire for the tinkerman

[Flavs]

Fixtures are up

http://www.ligue1.com/ligue1/article/2012-13-fixtures-released.htm

Monty start at home to Toulouse :bow:

Only other thing of note is that Marvin the Martian has moved to Lille from Sochaux

dems is some nice kits

[Flavs]

That is a fine kit.

Also Berlusconi confirms that Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva have signed for PSG for ..... wait for it....63mil Euros (£51.2mil)

And that's the end of French football

[GP]

Wow.

That's almost as much as Liverpool paid for Carroll and Henderson...

[Flavs]

The ageing Italian Casanova also confirmed this deal will save the struggling Italian giants...£150mil over 2 years!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sucks that players would leave a club like Milan for PSG.

[GP]

Ambition :bow:

[Flavs]

Sucks that players would leave a club like Milan for PSG.


You can pretty much mark today as the day the football died

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Wow.

That's almost as much as Liverpool paid for Carroll and Henderson...
Yeah but... yeah but *looks for excuse*... their wages would be a third of what Ibra and SIlva will be getting.

That's the best I can do.

[Flavs]

Yeah but... yeah but *looks for excuse*... their wages would be a third of what Ibra and SIlva will be getting.

That's the best I can do.

Yeah but Ibra is what 31/32?

Carroll is only 22 so he has ten years to get as good as the former?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Yeah but Ibra is what 31/32?

Carroll is only 22 so he has ten years to get as good as the former?
It does seem a little harsh on him. He's only just started to show he's a useful footballer, and we seem to be shipping him off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You can pretty much mark today as the day the football died

Definitely now.

[Ollie the Optimist]

FFP :bow:

[Flavs]

The problem being of course that those in charge can be bought as easily as players nowadays. The former UEFA guys had received around £11mil in bribes in their times at UEFA, i mean what the fuck is that??

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And FIFA were aware of the bribes in that organisation. :lol:

[Flavs]

Christ and people say politics is bent

[Master Splinter]

Do not forget, Lille have also Kalou.

[GP]

Christ and people say politics is bent

People say you're bent haha lol jk

Ambition does it again.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ibra has also finally joined PSG. As has Verratti... :unsure:

L'Equipe are saying they'll also sign Kaka.

:rose:

[Master Splinter]

Montpellier drew 1-1 with Toulouse in the first game of the season.

They could do with Giroud.

[Master Splinter]

PSG needed two Ibrahimovich goals (one a last-minute pelanty) to get a 2-2 draw with the mighty Lorient at home.

Aliadiere had put Lorient 0-2 up :bow:.

PSG :haha:.

Marseille still with a 100% record after beating Rennes.

Lorient still unbeaten too :bow:. Aliadiere :bow:. Sunu :bow: Koscielny :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

PSG 2-0 Toulouse FT

Pastore and Zlatan

Zlatan is awesome

Wenger :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marseille vs PSG is also on tonight. :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

Aliadiere scored for Lorient again against Lyon in a 1-1 draw.

The cheeky buy-back is on.

They could be this season's Monty. Fourth and still unbeaten.

[Master Splinter]

Marseille 1-0 PSG, Gignac!

He's in good form.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PSG. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

PSG turn it around.

Well Zlatan does, scoring two in two minutes. FFS, he's good.

1-2.

Sort it out, Marseille.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Whoops.

[Master Splinter]

Whoops.

[Master Splinter]

Finished 2-2.

Marseille stay three points ahead of PSG at the top of the table.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lorient 4-4 Ajaccio, Aliadiere scored twice and Sunu got the fourth and final equaliser for Lorient.

[Master Splinter]

PSG lost 1-2 against Saint Etienne yesterday.

PSG :haha:.

Ibrahimovic was sent off for De Jonging Saint Etienne's keeper Ruffier. :haha:


Marseille went joint top of Ligue 1 today after a 0-2 win at Ajaccio. They have a game in hand as well.

Lyon now a point behind in second after a 5-2 win over Bastia. Malbranque scored a late pel for them. He still exists. Lyon also have a game in hand.

Toulouse could overtake PSG at the top of the table if they get a good win at Bordeaux later.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PSG. :haha:

Ancelotti. :haha:

People's Eyebrow. :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

PSG lost 1-2 at home to nine-man Rennes. They were down to nine since the 51st minute too.

Ambition. :haha:
