Lyon likes Juventus Manager Didier Deschamps
By: Inara |Not only do the French press think that Lyon’s entire senior team will leave this summer, but they are also absolutely convinced that manager Gerard Houllier will leave as well.
Jean-Michel Aulas keeps insisting that Houllier will be at the club next year, but the French Football Federation has been batting their eyes at Houllier [...]

Michael Essien arrested for drunk driving
By: Inara |Late, I know, but I just found out that former Lyon midfielder Michael Essien was arrested on charges of drunk driving.
Last Monday, the Chelsea player was pulled over in London for suspicion of alcohol intoxication. After Essien failed a breathalyser test, he was taken to jail. Essien was eventually released on bail but will have [...]
Lyon FINALLY win in Style
By: Inara |After a dismal run of five games, Lyon got their act together in order to properly celebrate their sixth title.
Celebrating after the match.
Eduardo Ratinho to Lyon?
By: Inara |This was going to be a post dedicated to the Lyon WAGs, but I’ll do that later.
Tasty rumors are circulating around the Stade de Gerland of a very possible transfer, much more likely than the 500 other names associated with Lyon in the past few weeks.

Tiago to Juventus? Coupet to Tottenham? Yeah right.

Here is [...]
Proof that Lyon ISN’T utter crap
By: Inara |It’s been an altogether depressing week for Lyon fans. Right now, the UEFA Champions League semifinals are going on, but Juninho & Co. can only watch on the television. They won their sixth title, but no one cares except Houllier and the statisticians employed by the French Football Federation. Lyon’s striker crisis is still continuing, [...]
Lyon want some Portuguese lovin’
By: Inara |Now that Lyon’s Brazilian takeover is in full effect, the club is now batting its eyes in the direction of Portugal. And who is Lyon flirting with? Nani, Pepe, and Ricardo Quaresma. Oh, and Simao Sabrosa, of course.
Duh.
Half the Portuguese national team may relocate to Lyon

Before you accuse me of living in an Ecstasy-induced world, let [...]
