You know what they say about title-challenging teams: if you can play badly and still win, you've
got what it takes to be the champions. The question is, does the reverse apply for
relegation-threatened teams?
Grenoble are challenging the theory at the moment, that's for sure. Having played five and lost
five so far this season, they've played well more often than not and yet still won nothing for
their efforts.
Tomorrow marks the start of Lyon's 2009-2010 season. For the first time in a really long time,
Lyon will be fighting to earn back the title, as opposed to defending it (maybe this will help the
team wake up from their apathy). Tomorrow they'll be facing Le Mans, who are definitely capable of
surprises on their good days.
