Tempers go at AJ Auxerre
Axel Tuanzebe was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

1 academy graduates step up at AJ Auxerre
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

AJ Auxerre rebuffed over Fernando Cunha
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. KV Oostende have kept their man, and AJ Auxerre go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

AJ Auxerre promote Luc Rémy from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luc Rémy has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

AJ Auxerre say no to the training-ground money
The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

A row about effort at AJ Auxerre
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tony Mendy was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Romain Faivre goes back to face Stade Brestois
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Romain Faivre’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and AJ Auxerre needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Home comforts ahead for AJ Auxerre
Stade Brestois, position 18, come to town on Saturday. Nobody will call it a big game and nobody at the club will be treating it as anything else.

The manager comes out for Josué Casimir
Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Josué Casimir has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.
In brief
- Squad Josué Casimir is training like a man with a point to make
- Squad Mohamed Coulibaly is out on the grass again
