Pretty keen for this. My first season fully following the league and Auxerre. First game up is against Lorient tomorrow morning.

Also, you have to admire the journey of Arles-Avignon. From the CFA2 to the Lique 1 in 5 years. Which is the same jump as from the top conference league to the Premier League in 5 years. A pretty darned good effort. Expected to go down again this year. Which would be a shame.

Anyway, Allez Auxerre!!

1-0 loss in Champions League playoff with Zenit this morning pour Auxerre, home leg to come though. Could be worse, if you were Tottenham say.

Well another draw for Auxerre. 1-1 this time at home against Valenciennes.

Pretty average start to the season, though it's not much better for usual big teams Bordeaux and Marseille. Toulouse currently on top.

Also, biggest French transfer of the season. Yoann Gourcuff to Lyon now. Bit disappointed. Was an Arsenal and Manchester City target (who isn't). Means Bordeaux have lost two of their best players, Gourcuff and Chamakh.

Suffering from Champions League hangover or something. 2-0 loss to Monaco. Still winless. Bordeaux drew with Marseille in the big game of the weekend.

Auxerre still after our first win, 1-0 loss away to Lille. Giving us an 0-4-2 record alongside the loss to Milan.

And yet another draw for Auxerre. 2-2 with Nancy.

Lyon are having similar troubles though, 2nd bottom.

St Ettiene lead on 16 points.

... Don't want to be playing catch up.

A 1-0 loss to Real Madrid is not too bad. We just need to target Ajax in the next two rounds.

Watching Auxerre live for the first time. Up 2-0 at home to Arles. This was a game I was banking on for a first win. Goals to Pedretti and Traore so far. Almost halftime.

Some slick buildup play for Pedretti's goal and then a nice finish.simon_hampton2010-10-03 06:47:15

Contout with the third goal for AJ, brilliant glancing header from some distance. Arles just aren't very good. It's a fairytale story for them last few years but really can't see them going anywhere but back into Lique 2.

Contout is class. Runs past about three defenders then has a shot from outside the area parried away.

4-0! Birsa with a shot into left hand corner from outside the box. Keeper could've done something there, it looked like he started diving when the ball was past him..

French league is even more mixed up than normal this season. Makes things pretty interesting.

Well Auxerre lost 1-0 to Bordeaux this morning. Bordeaux are good, but still a bit disappointed at lying in the drop zone.

Bordeaux slump 0-2 to Brest at home (often think of doing this myself but my wife has other ideas! ) Diarra banned for at least 3 matches. A long, difficult season ahead.

Well, Stade Brestois are on top at the moment. But it's all pretty tight really. Apart from Arles-Avignon down the bottomonly 8 points are the difference between 1st and 19th. Auxerre are slowly improving, 3-6-3 record at the moment in the 13th place but 5 points off top 4. Lyon struggling in 11th and Marseille and Bordeaux in 6th.

Auxerre 2 Rennes 1! Move up to 8th. Big Champions League game next week against Milan. Hoping we snatch something and pinch third place off Ajax.

Gotta beat Madrid at the Bernabeu to go through to Europa League. Or else draw and hope Ajax getting nothing from their clash with Milan. Can only hope...

Bringing this back from the dead mainly because Monaco got relegated from Ligue 1 this morning after a 34-year stay in the French top flight.

Sad day for a club which had some very successful seasons in the 1990s and 2000s.
