French League...

[6TimesaRed]

How close is it??? 3 points separating the top 6...... and Lille pretty much still in with a shout..

I favour Marseille though they are the most in form team in the league at present.

1 Bordeaux 27 16 5 6 43 22 21 53
2 Montpellier 28 16 5 7 38 29 9 53
3 Auxerre 28 15 7 6 28 23 5 52
4 Lille 28 15 6 7 51 28 23 51
5 Lyon 28 14 9 5 46 29 17 51
6 Marseille 27 14 8 5 48 29 19 50

Would kill for the prem to be as close as that, Certainly make it more exciting. Don't think we will ever see that though.

It's got to be an average league when their current no. 5 only manages to beat Real 2-1 on agg. in the Champions Leagues 1/8.

If you took Chelsea, United and Arsenal out of the PL, it would be very similar to Ligue 1.

some people argue that 4th place is the new 1st, given the hype surrounded by it

 

[aquaman4]

Montpellier promoted this season from 2nd div and possible winners of the league would be amazing achievement

 

[The Nomad]

How boring is it?? Auxerre average a goal per game yet are 3rd??

Portsmouth have scored 4 less than them.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Where are St. Etienne?

It would, but it's been done before, and in this country too. Forest did it under Brian Clough. We ourselves were champs only two years after we came up, at the start of the glory days.
