Ligue 1 | French Football 2017/18

Bordeaux 2-1 up at HT. Malcom with a golazo. What a talent he is!



He seems to score a screamer every other game this is really impressive but this one must be his best this season. I may have to start watching more of Bordeaux.
 
This is a poor game from PSG, Rabiot in particular has been disappointing. It's his first game this season where I feel he's been poor.
 
Too bad Monaco aren't very good anymore because PSG are really not that great. They're struggling in a lot of away games.
 
Strasbourg :D Historic, beautiful city (some of their people are racists but still fine people in general), thank you for bringing another smile to my face.
 
Terrible penalty decision against Lille in injury time. The league needs video replays badly.

edit: At least Toulouse missed the pen.
 
The state of Monaco!! They've been all over Troyes but somehow contriving to be losing 0-2 at home!
 
And the turnaround is complete. 2 goals by Carrillo in the last 5 minutes to turn the game 3-2!
 
Initial contacts have occurred between Hatem Ben Arfa & Leicester City

Initial contacts have occurred between PSG attacking midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa’s camp and the Premier League side Leicester City over a possible January move.

A large portion of Ben Arfa’s entourage still would prefer for the former Nice and Newcastle man to stay put at PSG to see his contract out for the final 6 months, in order to earn as much out of that lucrative deal as possible.

Claude Puel has made it very clear that he would like to reunite with Ben Arfa, with two having worked wonderfully together at OGC Nice.

Unai Emery’s Paris flat burgled

PSG manager Unai Emery’s Paris apartment was robbed on Wednesday night during the club’s Coupe de la Ligue action, according to Le Point and BFM TV.

Emery’s flat, located on the 7th floor in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, was first discovered to having been broken into by his wife. The robbers stole a rolex worth €7k, a bracelet and two Chanel bags that belonged to the Spanish tactician’s wife.

Contrary to earlier reports, no documents pertaining to PSG nor transfers or scouting were taken by the criminals. The police are currently investigating, and hope to uncover the identity of the thieves by trawling through CCTV footage.

PSG have an agreement to sign Wendel from Fluminense – agent

20-year-old midfielder Wendel’s agent Carlos Henrique Brasil has told L’Équipe that his client has reached an agreement to join PSG.

Now Les Parisiens much conclude a deal with Fluminense, who are seeking €10m, as well as sorting out their FFP situation. PSG’s plan is to loan the player straight out to another European club, with FC Porto reportedly interested.

Wendel’s agent had the following to say on the matter:

“Whatever PSG’s choice is, it is a dream that is about to come true. Wendel is ready. He has the same style as Verratti. He has a lot of personality and plays with his heart. Antero Henrique has already seen him play a lot, he knows what will be best for him.”


Arsenal & Liverpool to return for Thomas Lemar

L’Équipe report today that Premier League duo Liverpool and Arsenal have both decided to attempt to sign AS Monaco attacking midfielder Thomas Lemar next month, after both missing out on the player in the dying embers of the summer transfer window.

Liverpool’s €90m offer, 48 hours before the end of the previous window, was rejected by Monaco, who were holding out for €100m. When Arsenal offered that sum less than 12 hours before the closure of the transfer window, ASM were willing to accept, but the bid had been made too late in the day, with Lemar on international duty at the time.

A new suitor for Lemar has appeared in recent weeks in the form of Chelsea, who contacted the player’s entourage in recent weeks about a possible move.

Lemar is currently under contract with the Ligue 1 champions until 2020, and has rejected a series of contract extension offers from Monaco over the last 12 months.

Rennes have made a €7m bid for Richmond Boakye

Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad are reporting that Ligue 1 side Rennes have submitted a €7m offer for Ghanaian forward Richmond Boakye.

The 24-year-old currently plies his trade with Red Star Belgrade and has this season scored 14 league goals in 13 games.

Anderlecht are also interested in the player.

Olivier Giroud: “A loan could be an option, but I do not think that Arsenal will want that.”

Speaking to L’Équipe, Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud discussed his future with the January transfer window looming.

“The reason for me not leaving this summer was partly down to the opportunities that I had. But at some point, I will have to ask the question again. We are not yet in January, and I do not have all the keys in my hand. What the French national team boss advises also comes into account. But it will not be able to find the right solution. Again, we will look at our options. A loan could be an option, but I do not think that Arsenal will want that.”

What's the trick with this 40 y/o center back Hilton at Montpellier? Starting cb since round 5, totaling 15 games à 90mins.

The proof that not all Brazilians fall off a cliff after 30.
 
The ref just got tripped up and kicked out at a player in the PSG game. Then sent the player off for a second yellow.

Just saw that, this was epic. The player was running behind the ref and ran into him pushing him down and the ref before he gets up lets out a small kick at him and then sends him off, epic meltdown. Probably the highlight of the game.

One of the most amazing things ever. The ref can never ref again.

Accidental collision as ref was running in front of the Nantes player with like tangling of legs. Ref then as he is getting up kicks out at that player. Then gives a second yellow to the Nantes player, sends him off and gives free kick to PSG.

Unbelievable.

Was great :lol:
Could even see the PSG players tapping each other and pointing and talking about it
 
Came here to post it, what the shit. @Ecstatic @BBRBB @JPRouve @kouroux was there anything in the French press regarding this incident? Any sort of explanation from the referee?

Did you genuinely ask if there was anything in the press regarding the incident?:lol:

He said that he didn't try to kick the player and he has been suspended.

Obviously a lot of comments in the French press, some articles explaining that he was already considered the biggest refereeing cnut by most players before the incident.

The main reaction is: WTF

The best part is all the dank memes it inspired.

He is the one who insulted one of your players, isn't he?

He is accused by many players of insulting and taunting them but I don't remember stories coming from PSG players. His most famous row with one of our guys caught on camera was refusing to give the match ball to Zlatan after a hat trick.
 
Falcao ties it in stoppage time against Nice.. A great player, good to see him playing without brakes..
 
PSG playing Dijon atm. Di Maria scored a fantastic goal.
And he scored another. Looks good that lad, we should sign him.
Cavani 3-0. He now equalled Zlatan's PSG goalscoring record.
Neymar amazing freekick, 4-0. Neymar scores another, absolute massacre this.
Neymar hat trick, reckon he got good chance for the Ballon Dor.
Mbappe 7-0. PSG are on FIRE. Neymar 8-0 penalty :lol:
