OM-PSG: The biggest derby in France

Soccer Pie (Free subscription) | 10/24/2009

France doesn’t have a lot of local rivalries like England for example, since Lyon-Saint Etienne and Lille-Lens do not really portray all the elements of the derby. However, this country has a derby between Olympique Marseille and Paris Saint Germain, a fierce rivalry that doesn’t go such a long way. Every match between these two [...]

Here comes a civil war for the French Left

The Croydonian (Free subscription) | 09/09/2009

Martine 'daughter of Jacques Delors' Aubry won the leadership of the French Socialist party in November last year. Our old friend, the perhaps highly strung Ségolène Royal did not take it very well at the time, and appeared something of a sore loser. At the time I wondered (if not aloud, it would seem) if she would stalk off in a hissy fit and start a Ségo Party, but noted this...

Myths reinforced

Peter Black AM (Free subscription) | 09/09/2009

I was told that a health study comparing Belfast with Toulouse confirmed this. As a result I went onto the web but could only find this : The PRIME Study was begun in 1991 and recruited 10,600 men aged...

France - home of football fans even shallower than this place

The Croydonian (Free subscription) | 08/11/2009

Only in France would a regional newspaper pay to poll the nation as to its preferred équipe in the top division . I think. Anyway, the results are in, and I've been playing around with them. Overall, the figures look like so: So more than half the population 'support' one of a French Big Four - Olympique Marseilles (5), Paris St Germain (12), Lyon (9) or Bordeaux (1). Numbers in brackets are...
