2022/23 Farmers Ligue 1 (+Mbappe) / French football thread - On beIN Sports

[DEVO]

Marseille drew again, 1-1 at Lorient and dropped to third behind Lens. Marseille haven't lost away since October 16 which you would think is championship winning form, until you learn they haven't won at home since January 15. That's a long frustrating run for the L'OM fans to go without enjoying a win at the Velodrome.

Lens still in the race is an amazing achievement. They have PSG in their remaining 8 matches, get a win there and anything could happen.

Wow. The one time I went to a Marseille game it was a cauldron of noise (was back in 2004 so maybe not relevant!). Didn't think their home form would be so poor!

 

[Zidane98]

Don't know what to make of this. At this stage would view this as sour grapes from Nice.

 

[Zidane98]

Some interesting results. Marseille as always good away from home DEVO

Relegation fight for that extra relegation place is gonna be intense:



4 teams on 32 points.

Nantes have been in free-fall the last couple of months. Almost lost at home to struggling Troyes, only getting an equaliser in the 6th minute of injury time.

It would be sad to see Les canaris go down. But they look to have an ok run home, including the next two crunch games against Brest and your team Strasbourg.

We lose again to Lyon 2-1 at home. In a real shitfight now.

PSG lost 3-1 this morning to Lorient, while Marseille won 2-1 at home to Auxerre. Now only 5pts behind with five games to play. Still a chance.

My daughter is happy, it’s the first major trophy her team has won since she was born in 1995. In fact I think it maybe their first trophy outside of the second division title they have ever won, but I haven’t told her that.

Seen that. Bit of a surprise. They do have Troyes next though.

Yeah, miracles are still needed, but I'm happy with how we have performed for a majority of the season, a couple of the home losses (lost 2-1 to Ajaccio and 3-1 to Nice) will cost any chance though.

It is important that we stay in second to guarantee CL football next season, we have Lens away next week which will be extremely tough, Lens play Toulouse mid-week which should be an easy win for them with Toulouse still in party mode, so I expect going into the game there will be a point separating us.

PSG have Troyes (A), Ajaccio (H), Auxerre (A), Strasbourg (A) and Clemont (H) in their last five. After Lens we have Angers (H), Lille (away which will be tough), Brest (H) and Ajaccio (A), three of the four team in the relegation spots. I really need our away form to continue if we are to have any chance.

Maybe Strasbourg can provide one of those miracles.

Looks like Messi has gotten himself in some strife over taking a trip to Saudi Arabia (Qatar's most bitter & hated rival) without permission.


Does he really need another gig when the Qataris are already paying him 40-50 million euros a season? I mean seriously, the bloke's becoming a grub just like Ronaldo at the end of his career.


Whether this will trigger a meltdown at PSG remains to be seen.


Lens win 1-0 against Toulouse to maintain pressure at the top. Still very tight for European places:

 

[Zidane98]

Not sure why they don't just terminate his contract now with him leaving in summer and not getting paid for two weeks. As he can't train it's not like he will play the last two games of the season either.

Some cryptic stuff from Neymar



All is not well at PSG.

 

[Zidane98]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[Zidane98]

Wow.

Nantes lose another key game, against struggling Brest. So Brest jump ahead of them and Nantes are now in the bottom four. Hard to see manager Antoine Kombouaré holding on to his job much longer.

That's good news for us.

 

[Zidane98]

Got a lot of respect for this guy. Really this should be the template for French clubs, not the unsustainable Qatar investment fund sponsored sportswashing exercise over in Paris.

Lacazette tearing it up

 

[DEVO]

For anyone who wants to know who were the past French League and Cup Champions. And to be a little depressed by the final couple of minutes.





While I am a Marseille fan, I think Lille have the best song.

I like the Lens song the best. St-Étienne's and Nantes' ones are good too.

Nantes finally sacked their manager, Kombouaré. He did an OK job overall, but the last few months Nantes have been in free fall, so something had to be done. Now up to the U19 coach to save their season.
