They've been pretty average (for their standards) over the last few seasons. 

 

5th - 13/14

3rd - 12/13

4th - 11/12

Not won the league since 07/08. 

 

Lacazette is the main reason for their form, got 20 in 21 this season. Before this season he had in 24 in 106 league appearances.

So leaders Lyon, who have spent €19.8m on new players in last four years, go seven points clear of PSG, who've spent... €453m

 

 

:huh:

And from Football Weekly, the last time Lyon lost a home game in Ligue 1 that they'd been winning at half-time was May 1981.

Paul Lambert's sacking means that for the first time in the Premier League era no club has a Scottish manager. 

 

Coincidence that it coincides with there being a lack of quality scottish players since 2000?

 

If you think about it, the Scottish guys playing in the early 2000's would be managers by now, and the quality of Scottish football has been in sharp decline since 98 probably.

 

Just my two pence worth :)

I know.

 

There are strikers who would be over the moon with a record like that.

 

granted set pieces skew those figures a fair bit, but it's still a phenomenal record.

Playing devil's advocate, why should Mourinho have far more awards? We get it, he's an excellent manager who also manages one of the richest clubs in the world. He's brilliant. But it would be a bit tedious simply handing him awards every 30 days telling him how magnificent he is. 

 

Part of the reason is that a club like Chelsea rarely exceed expectations - everyone expects them to win everything anyway, so nothing is that surprising. When Swansea win four matches in a row, people are impressed.

Bayern Munich have had at least one player in every World Cup Final since 1982.   

 

(Germany have been in five of the nine finals since 1982)
