Nah, they'll be stopped by PSG

But seriously, they are in a league of their own compared to the rest of the French clubs . I think it's crap, and not that I don't like Lyon, but I remeber how class Ligue Une was before Lyon's dominance started. Nobody knew what team would win the league and we had suprise champions like Lens, Bordeaux or Nantes

this thread needs upping to have a good old laugh at psg
no wins, 4 points and 6 goals from 9 home games and in the relegation zone . and please may they stay there.

and please may marseille join them again soon in it :thup:.

and saw that nancy lost yesterday as well . looking at the teams closest to lyon, there is simply no way they can't win the title again.

Müller resigned to missing finals

Switzerland central defender Patrick Müller looks set to miss UEFA EURO 2008™ and the rest of the season with Olympique Lyonnais' with a serious knee injury.

Serious injury
The 30-year-old left the pitch 40 minutes into a reserve team game at the weekend with scans revealing a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. A statement from the French champions said: "The player will undergo surgery by the end of the week. His will not be available again for six months."

'A 0.00001 per cent chance'
The 76-times capped international is resigned to missing UEFA EURO 2008™ in his home country, saying: "I have written off this competition. I'm out for six months - it starts in early June. I have a 0.00001 per cent chance of being ready. I'd so much have loved to be able to play in front of my home crowd." Switzerland will kick off UEFA EURO 2008™ against the Czech Republic in Basel on 7 June 2008. They will then face Turkey on 11 June and Portugal four days later, also at St. Jakob-Park.

Earlier injury
Müller played in only two competitive games this season before club medical staff detected a problem with his right knee, but the former FC Basel 1893, RCD Mallorca, Grasshopper-Club and Servette FC defender seemed to be on the road to recovery prior to the new setback. To add to his anxieties, his contract with Lyon is set to expire in June. Without him, the French side need a win against Rangers FC on Matchday 6 to progress to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. If the Ligue 1 leaders fail, they will move on to the UEFA Cup Round of 32 in the new year.

Unlucky

And ghostwriter-PSG has been crap in years now, nothing new

[retired_emp5053]

Rennes on a bad run of form now. Haven't won in any competition since October, last 7 matches in all comps have been losses, apart from the one UEFA draw, and lost their last 4 Ligue matches. FS. Dropping down the table now. Really need to beat Strasbourg next, who affffffc.

Yeah because virtually every team in the league was crap so it was impossible to predict which one would suck less. It's the same fight for second place now tbf. Nancy 2nd, who would have predicted that?

I wouldn't want either PSG or OM relegated, the League 1 is already poor enough, we don't need the big teams to go down.

tbf the league needs a strong PSG and Marseille, Lyon about to run away with it again without Cris and Coupet and their youngsters and depth has them looking at a very realistic ten titles in a row, especially as the competition is horrendous right now.

Would love Le Mans and Nancy to make a right go of a CL chase though, Nancy are a really lovely team to watch and a nice story as well.

Rennes also conceded 3 goals in most of their last games... something's definitely wrong out there but they should be able to beat Strasbourg as they are absolute crap and lost 5-0 this past WE to Lyon.
