...Dan Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 As if Monaco's injury problems weren't already bad enough...Chadli went off injured in the first half and was replaced by Mboula, then in the 2nd half Mboula was stretchered off with a pulled hamstring.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 11, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 11, 2018 Some journeys are easier than others... And I think that's all of them already, so Monaco best pick things up after this week.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted November 12, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 12, 2018 Monaco could actually go couldn't they? They're a shambles. I am amazed at how well Lille are doing. I know it was only a friendly but my take from our game there in August was "I'm not surprised these struggled last year".

They need some players back from injury and some players brought in in January. Lille have been my favourite team to watch this season in France. That front three of Pépé, Bamba and Ikone has been a joy to watch...and they're also solid at the back under Galtier. I hope they keep their form going, and I hope they can keep their players (it looked like Galtier was gonna be forced to sell Pépé to raise funds in the summer but he managed to keep hold of him), because I'd love to see this side in Europe next season.

Moderator CaaC (John) Posted November 15, 2018 Moderator Posted November 15, 2018 Just been reading this and the piece he wrote about Zlatan Ibrahimovic was quite interesting. Tony Chapron: The French referee who saw the red mist, on that kick 12 November 2018 | European Football Chapron aimed a kick at Nantes' Diego Carlos in January A tumble to the turf, a rush of blood, a lashing out, and a long career unravels in an instant. Tony Chapron speaks calmly now, as he looks back on the "nightmare" moment that essentially cost him his job as a referee in the French top flight. But he still has regrets. It all happened back in January, during a Ligue 1 fixture between Nantes and Paris St-Germain. Kylian Mbappe was breaking clear and everyone was racing back behind him, including Chapron. He and Nantes player Diego Carlos collided. Chapron was inadvertently knocked over. Staggering to his feet, Chapron swung a boot at the defender. Then he sent the defender off. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46132066 Educating Zlatan Chapron now works for French media and is free to say what he really thinks about the players he used to referee. One story stands out. "He is a very annoying guy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic," Chapron begins. "Not only with referees, he was always blaming his team-mates, always trying to cause some trouble with the opponents. "He was a crazy guy. I think he's a fantastic player, but on the pitch, he's someone else. And it was very difficult as a referee. "I hope for him that he's a kind of actor because he says so many things, crazy things, I hope he doesn't think what he says." In 2015, Chapron was in charge when Ibrahimovic scored a hat-trick for PSG in a victory over Lorient. After the match, the striker approached him. Chapron had the ball in his hands. "He arrived close to me he just clicked his fingers and said; 'The ball!'" Chapron says. "I have four daughters and when we're together and they ask something, if we don't have the word 'please' at the end of the sentence, there is no reaction. "So, it's the same, it's a kind of education. I think it was a kind of disrespect. There is something wrong with society if we forget the simple things such as 'please' and 'thank you'. "It was the beginning of the Ibrahimovic show because nobody says no to Zlatan. I was probably the only one."
...Dan Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Ligue 1 is back, and what better way to start the weekend than with the biggest local derby in France? OL v ASSE tonight at 8 UK time.
...Dan Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 In other news, Monaco's return to form isn't looking likely when they only have 2 senior defenders available for their match against Caen tomorrow.
...Dan Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Lyon took the lead through Denayer and then Rafael makes a stupid two footed lunge and is sent off. Twenty minutes for OL to hang on with ten men.
Administrator Stan Posted November 23, 2018 Administrator Posted November 23, 2018 How can he have any complaints about this
Dave Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 Jason Denayer scored to put Lyon second last night. Sunderland fans everywhere walking around in a state of confusion.
...Dan Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 Monaco are in front! Let's hope it lasts longer than it did against Dijon.
...Dan Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 Good game between Nice and Lille this afternoon, with Nice coming out on top thanks to goals from Cyprien and Saint-Maximin. I've not got tonight's game on, but Amiens are in front against OM thanks to what was apparently a terrible mistake by Mandanda.
Administrator Batard Posted November 25, 2018 Administrator Posted November 25, 2018 It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done.
