Match12 Mar 2029

Every point is an argument now for Paris FC

Position 17 and 21 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

Issiaga Soumah says Paris FC went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings12 Mar 2029

Up for the corner, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan delivers — 7.76

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored, was marked 7.76, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Sadibou Sané 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.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

Habib Diallo 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.

A falling-out at Paris FC

Issiaga Soumah and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Paris FC lose Richard Masson

17 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Loan watch12 Mar 2029

11 clean sheets on loan for Obed Nkambadio

27 appearances at Angers SCO and the goals have stopped going in. Paris FC lent out a goalkeeper and are watching somebody else’s season get better every week.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

No place for Hamari Traoré on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Paris FC pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Match10 Feb 2029

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

18 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.

Match12 Feb 2029

Every point is an argument now for Paris FC

Position 17 and 14 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad12 Feb 2029

6 saves: Kevin Trapp was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Tempers go at Paris FC

Henrikh Mkhitaryan 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.

The dugout12 Feb 2029

The manager makes an example of Henrikh Mkhitaryan

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

Paris Saint-Germain tell Paris FC: Lucas Hernández is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Richard Masson out for 48 days

The medical room confirms 48 days on the sidelines for Richard Masson, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Manu Fuster 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 Feb 2029

A bad afternoon for Paris FC against FC Lorient

0‑1 to FC Lorient, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
