Thierry Henry only has himself to blame for his failure at Monaco
Some choice cuts from the article:
"Last Sunday, during Monaco’s 5-1 defeat to Strasbourg, Henry was even caught on camera telling the opposition right-back that his “grandmother’s a whore,”
"Reports from the club’s training centre also highlighted a seeming lack of professionalism on his part while taking training"
"It is hard to square Henry’s seemingly imperious attitude (witness his admonishment of Benoît Badiashile after the young defender failed to push in his chair at a press conference) and reports that the manager conducted himself more like a senior member of the squad than their manager."

Bonjour Mon Amis
Thank fuck BT have finally got their arses into gear and picked up the rights to Ligue 1, a week after it kicked off.
Going to interesting this year as Monaco have once agin been asset stripped, whilst Lyon have managed to retain one of the best young squads in Europe IMO. Marseille have largely stayed intact, but still seek a decent fulcrum no.9. Places 1-4 will probably be the same as last season, but 2-4 may swap around with Lyon my pick of that 2-4 bunch, if Genesio doesn't fuck things up eh

A team who had a torrid time last year, but I think have some really interesting young players is Lille, who if they can get a bit of stability, might have a much better season and be a bit of a surprise package (Bissoumma - now at Brighton - Benzia and Pepe caught my eye last season, even when things were grim).

I’ve been to see Montpellier a few times on Summer holidays when much younger. Best thing was the street food and barbecues beforehand. Amazing stuff. Nimes being back up is interesting for that region. I still vaguely follow Montpellier and I like the name St. Etienne. Ligue 1 can be quite entertaining.
My money is on PSG to win it, just a hunch I got.
The quality of the teams really falls off of the cliff after the first 4.
Makes you wonder how PSG spank teams 7 or 8 nil most weeks don't it?
Good performance by Lille today, better side for chunks of the game away at Monaco. Pepe, Bamba, Benzia all lively.
Just watching the Marseille game, they scored a lovely break goal, great pass by Payet, good lay off by Sanson and great chip finish by Thauvin.
Great 3-1 win for Nimes.
Both promoted sides are 2 wins out of 2 - that's great to see.
Nimes were well drilled but that was a bit of skanking, big scalp for them though. The downside is that PSG are going to cruise it this year. Monaco are a shadow of two seasons ago, Marseille have stood still, Lyon will almost certainly be the nearest challenger, but even they got skanked last night by Reims.

I had no idea there was a team called Angers....
Safe....

Really like the look of Rennes this year.
As I said above, I fancy Lille to have a much better season, they were in turmoil last year, the whole Bielsa thing, legal battle, a load of young players, they nearly went down, but I think they could be a dark horse for a Europa place this year.
Marseille look like a big bag of bollocks. This is why Eleven Sports could pick up the rights for a tenner.
I am guessing they raised their game? 2-2 now!
Mariano Diaz has gone back to Real Madrid for £22.4m. Interesting.
Real Madrid complete signing of striker

They've basically activated his buy back, just because they needed to bolster their squad and seem to be keeping their powder dry for Neymar or Mbappe next summer.
