Squad12 Nov 2029

A one-man rearguard from Obed Nkambadio

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match10 Nov 2029

No end in sight to Paris FC's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Paris FC has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad12 Nov 2029

Ilan Kebbal in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Paris FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Nov 2029

Willem Geubbels falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match10 Nov 2029

Monaco take the points off Paris FC

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad12 Nov 2029

Tanguy Ndombele gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Nobody could get near Mathieu Cafaro

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings12 Nov 2029

The chances came and went for Jonathan Ikoné

6 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Player ratings12 Nov 2029

Willem Geubbels leaves them behind him

Shots: 13. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Age has not caught Moses Simon yet — 10.00

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 10.00 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad17 Sep 2029

3 goals for Moses Simon

The match ball belongs to Moses Simon, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match15 Sep 2029

Paris FC see off Stade Brestois

Three points for Paris FC, 4‑3 the final word against Stade Brestois in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match15 Sep 2029

Moses Simon among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Moses Simon on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Paris FC and Stade Brestois.

A masterclass from Jonathan Ikoné

Marked 9.02 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Marked 8.77 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
