There is a fantastic trilogy by Pierre Lemaitre that is one of the best things I've read these past 10 years. The first book, The great Swindle is about the immediate post WWI, and won the Goncourt, the second All Human Wisdom is about the in-between wars years, and the last one, Mirror of our Sorrows is about the madness that gripped France as the German army advanced in 1940. All have great intertwined plots, great characters and talk about periods in history not often visited in literature |

I brought some friends from France for the home game against Bristol City. Even though it was a 0-0 they all loved it and now all support/follow the Rs, to the point that they want to create an official supporters club here in Montpellier. Result! One had been to Arsenal before and said he much preferred LR, a proper english ground like he imagined it should be |

Bit harsh to miss out on Larkeche whose first contribution got the winning goal, and a Pearson own goal as well :) |

OK thanks for checking. I'll check if some money is taken, but when I click on the interview link I still get Oops! Your pledge was declined. This post is unavailable because your pledge payment for Clive Whittingham didn’t go through. |

Actually Clive, each time I try I get to enter my card details, authorise it in my bank's app, and then get Oops! Your pledge was declined. It's a valid visa card, it is set as payment method, yet doesn't work. Could it be because I'm in France? Do you have someone's mail I could write to? |

When do they go up to? I'll be in London on the 11/11 and am really hoping the Bristol City game will be maintained |

Fantastic write up, thank you! About the marks, you forgot Illy. I thought he'd be on 6, perhaps up to 7 because of that effort? It definitely would have I guess, had it not been saved |

I've recently finished Pierre Lemaitre's trilogy of the between war novels and haven't quite recovered yet about how fantastic they were. Each one better than the previous and can't recommend it highly enough. An English friend read the English translations and told me it was really well translated too The books in order are: The Great Swindle All Human Wisdom Mirror of our Sorrows [Post edited 20 Jul 2023 14:47]
