French club football is fucking rubbish. It makes the Championship look like a kick about at a fat farm Doesn't seem to have a global appeal though ...the French league, not the fat farm match. |

Games I've watched are entertaining end to end. Is great entertainment but I guess, PSG of late aside they never had massive club sides on the European stage although some exceptions over the years and have been the odd great team but not up there with England, Germany, Italy, Spain of course on the club front. Not a dull league as you say though, one of the more entertaining ones. |

Always feel like French football suffers from a lack of derbies, the closest one being Nice / Marseille, the latter of whom's biggest rival is PSG

They had some world class players, think Thierry Henry was manager at the time. Worst game I’ve ever seen live and the attendance was 4,156. Awesome stuff |

Possibly yes. Still a well watched league I went to see Marseille v PSG and was carnage. They had to protect the PSG players taking corners with riot shields, the amount of objects being thrown. |

Aside from PSG, who are the other two or three french teams who usually compete up there for European places?
My mind instantly defaults to Olympique Lyon and Marseilles given my lesser knowledge of French football (out of choice of not watching really), but do any others threaten as of late?

On a hype to quality ratio, I would say French league is the best there is. Mainly due to not much hype

Mmm , a league contested by Monaco ( owned by an anonymous russian billionaire who lives in a 300 million quid Monaco apartment) and the Qatari owned PSG , a club with so much money they make Monaco look like peasants.
And a load of non runners.
Hard to image the Prem being dominated by the Saudi royal family ( Newcastle) and sheik monsours United Arab Emirates family worth over a trillion quid, Man City ( yep ! You read it right! Not a billion, a trillion!)
Oh hang on a minute?
We are half way there, to be the French league 2.
Unfortunately.

Marseille and Lyon are the other two of the “big 3” although they have mainly underperformed as well. There’s some decent sized clubs with pretty good teams that get crowds of 30,000 or so such as Lens, Lille, Nantes, Rennes, Nice and Toulouse. I think if PSG carry on underperforming it could actually be a really competitive league and not a bad one to watch…. |
