What an interesting season we have been having so far! PSG have been just as most of us expected I guess. They are far ahead of the rest of the teams in the league standings now. There is no doubt that they will win the Ligue 1 title this season readily. But the thing I wonder the most is whether Lyon-Monaco-Lille trio will be able to climb to top positions in time. The best placed team among them are Monaco now but even they are at the 8th position. Because of this, different teams had a chance to capture the top positions. I wonder whether this will go on like this all the time or the big teams will capture these positions again.
If I look at their position, it seems difficult for Lille and the other teams you mentioned to be able to move up quickly, because of their inconsistency against mediocre teams who sometimes lose points. I'm just saying that for now, because their points difference isn't really that far away either and it's possible to catch up and I think that will happen in the second half of the season. Don't know for sure, because of course these big teams should get tickets for CL and EL for the next season, their management and winning mentality will certainly continue to be improved to be able to recover.

Growing up I thought the English and the Germans are brutal in football matches, but I am convinced now that the French championship is gradually deteriorating through violence and racial hatred. I keep wondering what all this crap is about in the stadium. You look forward to a super top game, and then it will simply be ruined by such angry people. They don't actually notice that they are damaging their own club. I just can't understand what's going on in such heads.
I would say French is still not as bad, even Germany is not as bad neither. I have been watching football for a long time and I have to say there are few nations with known brutal viewership. Premier league is certainly the most known one, it is both incredibly popular and very famous league not just on brutal front but also how good the teams are and how they win UCL and so forth, so they are known.However watch Italian, Greek and Turkish games, some reason those mediterranean nations (is it in the water lol) have some weird amount of fandom, all those lighting fire thingies, throwing things to the pitch, and I mean like it is literally dangerous for the players at some point. So watching those really made it clear to me that these are the most dangerous ones. Of course if you go more east, you see a lot less quality but more brutality as well if you want to check that out but the games usually suck there.

PSG are in a very comfortable position in the league right now. Even though there are only 14 games played so far, they are already far ahead of their closest competitor in the table (11-point gap) and maintaining their lead safely.
~snip~
Deserved them at the top, all the PSG players are very good. The 11-point gap is considerable, but remember the League game is still 24 times away. There's a chance Nice and rennes to frustrate. PSG have a more busy schedule maybe they could have become unstable. Moreover their target this season is not only the League champions they want the UCL Champions. So maybe they can have 2 trophies this year, if you look at the players they have. ~snip~

Lyon - Marseille game was suspended after a player from OM was hurt by a bottle from Lyon fans. Obviously there will be sanctions, probably few games without spectators for Lyon... I don't know how many games suspended for the same reason in Ligue 1..
This is something that is quite disturbing and quite embarrassing for the fans because this is a very stupid act, I saw some news that the bottle thrower had been arrested by the authorities and Aulas had personally apologized to Payet for this embarrassing incident.and this has added to the bad image of the supporters after some time ago supporters from Nice also invaded the field when their favorite team Nice met Marseille.
Due to the actions of the fans, currently the French Ligue 1 Operator (LFP) is carrying out an investigation into the incident, and reportedly the next lyon home match will be played without spectators, I think what happened in that match should be a lesson for other clubs in the french league to set strict rules for all fans who come to the stadium, of course the club must provide severe penalties for those caught starting a riot including banning them from entering the stadium forever.

Nice is the closest competitor now with 26 points and Rennes follow them right behind by a 1-point difference. The teams at the 2nd and 3rd place are really surprising to me, to tell the truth. In the last season, Rennes ended at the 6th place and Nice were at the 9th place. Now, we see them both at top places. Maybe none of the teams will get even close to PSG during the whole season but surprise teams can end in top 3 seemingly for now. Because the closest follower of Nice and Rennes is Lens. This season is open for a surprise except the champion team.

Yes, it's a shame for the Lyon - Marseille match which had only been running for a few minutes and the match was stopped, obviously it would be better to stop if the situation at the stadium could not be controlled. Basically, Ligue 1 is of course slowly becoming a league that will be highlighted in the media more because the PSG squad which has many star players, especially Messi who is a Ligue 1 magnet now will be more popular. But the fans there are still not able to control their emotions and so of course Ligue 1's popularity will be hampered, or maybe it will be tarnished because of the actions that occurred. Usually an incident like this will harm the team itself and of course for their supporters as well, such as punishment and fines of course that will be given.

In modern football today of course events that occur like the lyon and marseille matches are really quite embarrassing and if i'm not mistaken, incidents like that have happened several times in Ligue 1 matches, and mostly when marseille played like last august when marseille faced with Nice, I think what the lyon fans do will certainly get a pretty big sanction from the french football authorities, so it will have a negative impact on the club later.Meanwhile Pochettino is reportedly open for talks about managing ManU if they are interested!

It must be a joyful weekend for Lionel Messi as he scored his first goal in the Ligue 1. And it was one of the classic Messi goals that we were accustomed when he was playing at Barcelona. And this goal was crucial for PSG to relieve and secure their win against Nantes. Because Keylor Navas' red card made things harder for them as Nantes started playing better. In the end, a 3-1 victory must be satisfying for the team. They scared their supporters after the score was equalized by Nantes first (1-1). But they made up for that very fast.
It was a close one. The fact that Nantes equalized after Navas got sent off made it seem like PSG would be lucky to finish the match with 1 point but they turned things around with that deflection before Messi finished it off in ground style. Throughout the match, Messi was everywhere trying to improve the team spirit after the equalizer came. Once PSG attackers understand themselves, it would be very hard to tame them.

Ramos needs not only to fully recover, but also to get in shape to go out and play a full match. And I don't think he will be released in the Champions League right away. Most likely he will make his debut in League 1. Still, Ramos is no longer young and a relapse of an old injury is possible. which can leave him out of the game for a long time.
Ramos is definitely good enough to actually provide something to the table for sure, he could be as old as it gets and it doesn't really matter because he could still provide. Look at Ibrahimovic and how old he is and he still scores goals like its nothing, so why would Ramos have any problem at all?This is why I believe that we should be focusing on Ramos on how he plays and not how old he is or how he got out of injury and all that. Obviously it is something that everyone has a question mark on their mind about how he is going to ocme back and yes maybe he won't be as good as he used to be and would need to recover a bit more and yet it doesn't matter in the long term.

Metz make a great comeback even though they are one man down, it was unexpected for the bottom team. Bordeaux is in big trouble now because they are also very close to relegation zone. After two goals lead they conceded two goals in five minutes. There is still extra time but it looks like both teams are settled for draw. Metz should be happy about that because it's very hard thing to do, coming from behind with ten men. They are still in the last place though.
It was an exciting game and maybe it will put more excitment into metz team considering the bad situation they are in, last position in the standing with three points from the closest team on the otherhand bordeaux team lost two precious points which coulve put them on a more confortable situation.

On the game weekend we have left behind, Monaco - Lille seemed to be the most delightful game to me. It was a big game though but I can't say that they both were having their best times this season. Both of them were stuck in the middle positions in the league standings. This would have been a boring game also but it was not like that thankfully. After a really great rivalry, the final result was 2-2. It was worth watching I think.

From the replay the bottle Throw was very clear on the head of a lyon player and I think this is something that is still happening in league 1.Meanwhile Pochettino is reportedly open for talks about managing ManU if they are interested!
When the PSG vs Marseille match was almost the same as experiencing a commotion from the pontoon, is it racist for Marseille fans?
I heard this news about Pochettino in Man United's lyrics but PSG will glance at Zidane if Pochettino agrees.

Tuchel is going to do a great job in England and those who have responsibility at PSG are going to regret to let him go!
I think you have an unprofessional mind on this because no coach wants to tie up a lifetime contract with the only team in his career. PSG couldn't afford to win the Champions League with him, so it's good to consider him out even though he did well with Chelsea last season. Do you think it's wrong if the team owner wants to get the touch of another coach to achieve goals in every competition? November 22, 2021, 12:12:52 PM

PSG signed with Ramos with hope to use him in Champions League. The fact is Ramos is a very experienced player in Champions League, with 3 titles and many seasons played there. His skills and his experience can be helpful for PSG if they need to
I love to see teams not signing with players that gave nearly 2 decades of their life to the team. It shows that this is purely business and it opens the door for players to leave whenever they want to, because let's be honest teams do not have loyalty so why should the players have any? Many people blamed Messi leaving Barcelona during their hardest time, they assumed that other players could have been fired and Messi could have played for like 10 million euro instead and that could have been financially arranged somehow.However, why would Messi leave money at the table and stay at Barcelona when it is known that teams do not care about players whenever it suits them? See how Ramos was treated at Madrid, and not like he was some horrible player neither he found a place at PSG and yes he hasn't provided anything so far but maybe in the future he will have some games that justifies his signing?
