Potential for something exciting to happen in France this weekend?

[1066gull]

In the last 5 games, Lyon have stuttered a bit and have dropped 6 points whilst Bordeaux have won 4 in their last 5 and are just a point behind. Bordeaux also have a bigger goal difference and are behind by one point.

But both have tricky away ties. Bordeaux will clearly be tested at Marseille and Lyon have got Niice away, who have only lost once at home this season. But Bordeaux have been in form, could the push Lyon all the way?

The French Ligue hasn't been this close at this stage for a while.

Potential dark horses are PSG, 5 points behind Lyon who have a relative easy fixture at Nantes and I believed they would finish second before the season began.

I bloody hope so, because I'm sick of Lyon winning it every season.

And Leyton Orient in ninth I see. No wonder they struggle in Division One, what with having to nip over to France as well.

Is it true AS Nancy's hooligan crew are called The Nancy Boys?

These Nancy Boys are hard, only last week 30 were arrested for anti-sochaux behaviour

Caen you back that up, it Angers me when people print stories about football fans that are not Nice.

I'd be LYON if I said I could...

when I saw the thread title, I thought that France must be expecting an invasion this weekend...

...has anything interesting happened in France since 1945?

You Marseille that, but talk like that is the way Toulouse.

Some Nice puns on this thread - I'm sure we Caen keep this going for a little longer.

 

[Foolg]

I'm sure we can keep it running a lille bit longer.

I'd better Sedan and concentrate then otherwise I'll make a Metz of the next pun.

Don't worry, just do your Brest.

I'm running out of puns - it's a case of going, Guingamp.
