My hometown club (Croix de Savoie FC, or their current bullshit name Evian-Thonon-Gaillard FC) just eliminated PSG from the French Cup 4-1 on penalties, with horrid misses from Zlatan and Silva (which makes it even sweeter)

SUCK IT LEONARDO. SUCK IT.

Watching Lyon-ASSE and boy, what a talent Kurt Zouma is. Guy's a beast and only 18 years old. Won't stay there for much longer I reckon.

Finished 1-1. Want Lyon to be in the CL when I move there for the year in September - they're stuttering over the finish line though.

Beckham sent off for PSG tonight I see, trying to find a video of it now.

Stade Velodrome construction progress. Shame I never got to visit the old stadium.

So just a roof and lighting or is there something happening with capacity as well?

The max capacity will get bumped up from 60k prior to the renovations to 67k.

I was skeptical at first but the roof looks amazing.

They're currently tearing down the old Presidential stand; while also covering both virages

And we're planted in the second spot with Lille, Lyon and Saint-Etienne all dropping points.

12th 1-0 win of the season and 7th consecutive clean-sheet for Mandanda

Marsielle are definitely my favourite French team - the fact they have Joey Barton just increases my love for them \o/

Stadium is awesome.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Monaco over the summer and next season.

Are Rodriguez and Moutinho just the beginning or are more expensive signings on the way?

Will the new-found wealth and the success that might come from it finally create a strong local following for the club?

More signings. Many of them expensive (Falcao is apparently being unveiled/announced on Monday).

At least Monaco was a respectable club in France before relegation and take over.

Not anything beyond what was written in the BBC and The Guardian articles about her appointment.

Should be interesting to follow none the less.

Lyon being a point ahead of PSG in Ligue 1 and starting tonight's game with 8 players from their own academy is quite awesome.

I lived in Lyon for all last season and they weren't great (although I could see the potential of Lacazette). Wish I was there this year instead, remarkable achievement that and would be great for football in general if they could win the league.

So, here I am, another French football fan

. Lyon is pretty impressive this year, despite being eliminated early in every cup (including Europa League)
