After the last round of European group games, Kris, Phil and Jez look at the results and the draws, before rounding up game 16 of Ligue 1.

Some unexpected results in Ligue 1, and some big European games on the way. Kris and Phil try to work out all the permutations.

Sackings, replays, European football, weather - Kris and Jez talk about it all.

France won 14-0 against Gibraltar. Kris, Jez and Phil have thoughts on that, PSG winning 5-2 against Monaco, the various U17 teams, and much much more...

A weird mash-up of results in Europe vs results in Ligue 1 - Kris and Phil try to make sense of it all. Are Lyon turning a corner? Can we be dealing with Nice? Is Mbappe happy?

13 goals in 9 games - Kris, Jez and Phil try to get excited about an unexciting weekend.

We didn't get to see OM v OL on Sunday - Kris, Jez and Phil explain why, and what's going on on the field as well as on.

Kris and Jez discuss a successful international break and game 9 in the league, which involved jockeying for position all over the place.

Much to discuss in game 8 of Ligue 1 after a less than stellar round of European games. Kris and Phil discuss equalisers, derbies, explosives, and upcoming disciplinary action.

Seven games in and Kris, Jez and Phil look at how well Monaco and Reims are doing, how surprising Clermont were against PSG, a quick discussion of refereeing, and Lens' amazing win against Arsenal in the Champions League.

Kris, Jez and Phil look at a very one-sided classique, Marcin Bulka saving two penalties in Monaco v Nice, an eight-goal thriller at Nantes, and the European fixtures.

After 5 games, the table is confusing. Kris, Jez and Phil try to work out if Brest are good or not, what the heck OL are doing, and whether OM are about to be looking for another manager *again*. Also Moffi, Europe, and Div 1's weird new system.

It's an international break! Kris and Jez round up the matches against Ireland and Germany, and some other stuff that may have happened.

More OL problems, Monaco and Lens going in different directions, Lille labouring, and are PSG a team? We round up LIgue 1, look at the European groups, and forward to the dreaded first international break of the season.

Unexpectedly interesting games and unexpectedly uninteresting games in Ligue 1 as PSG and Marseille pull themselves together and Lyon and Lille don't.

OM are out of the Champions League, OL can't defend, PSG still look underwhelming without Mbappe, and we have mixed feelings about Thierry Henry taking over as the U21 coach.

France are out of the World Cup after losing to Australia on penalties - Ligue 1 has restarted with some big scores, late goals, and unexpected results - and PSG had a weird opener agains Lorient

It's the end of the season for Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 - or is it? Kris and Phil cover the race for Europe, a couple of relegation battles, a promotion push, and quite a lot of admin as Bordeaux v Rodez was halted after only 23 minutes, having implications at both ends of the Ligue 2 table. We will be back for an end-of-season round-up once everything is confirmed and Jez has come out from behind the...

With the penultimate round featuring ten matches simultaneously in both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, Kris and Phil try to keep track of everything - the race for Europe, to avoid relegation, to achieve promotion, as well as people moving on, the UNFP awards, and some national team news.

Round 36 saw the race for fifth place continuing, and Nantes and Auxerre both losing in their fight to avoid the drop. Kris, Jez and Phil round up all the action including Lyon winning their 16th title in the women's league, and the nominations for the UNFP trophies.

A busy weekend in French football, with two more teams relegated, the bomb squad called out, the Women's Coupe de France final, and the fall-out of a weekend of solidarity to discuss. Kris, Jez and Phil try to keep up with it all.

It's a bumper pod this week as we have to cover all the goals in OL v Montpellier... Kris, Jez and Phil also discuss Messi, Aulas, Kombouare, petty club commiuniques, and tip a hat to Bruno Rodriguez.
