On Second Thought…

After I’ve had some time to cool down and think about this logically, I’ve come to some conclusions.
First of all, while this will be a very tough group, this will be better for the club in the long run. In previous years, Lyon breezed through the group stages (they were group winners the last [...]
Lyon Are Still %#$@ed

Their Champions League Group aka The Group of Death:
Barcelona
Lyon
Stuttgart
Rangers
I wonder if Aulas will be getting any sleep tonight. I know Perrin won’t.
Lyon’s current injury crisis is probably reassuring for these clubs, but then again, Lyon have six games to play, so one or two bad games won’t weigh them down. And the quality of the [...]
Another %#$@ing Injury

During today’s match against Sochaux, Fabio Santos hurt his knee and had to be taken out of the game. The severity of the injury isn’t known yet, but considering the bad luck hanging over the club…
Well, you can understand why I’ve become a glass half-empty person.
Fabio Santos can now hang out with Juninho, Fred, [...]

Sorry for my lack of posting, but I’ve been moving for the past few days and just got my internet set up last night. Anyway, I’m happy to see that despite Lyon’s lacklustre performance agaist St. Etienne, the supporters are taking this positively. After all, we can’t expect Lyon to hit perfect form immediately after [...]
Derby Time!!!

Since I’ve started writing for this blog only last April, I’ve never had the privilege of covering a derby. I plan to go all out today, with lots of disparaging pictures and remarks about Lyon’s eternal rival, Saint-Etienne.
August 26, 2007
Stade de Gerland, Lyon
3:00 PM Eastern Time (21:00 in France)
The clubs have met 94 times, [...]

Valencia’s sporting director, Miguel Angel Ruiz, is like a bad case of herpes. He just keeps coming back at the most importune moments.
For the La Liga illiterate out there, Valencia have been trying really hard to get a creative midfielder. It’s almost as comical as Lyon’s search for a striker.
Cesar at the Valencia [...]
Update-O-Rama

Lots of things have been happening at the Gerland this past week.
~~~~~~~~
First of all, Lyon have signed another goalkeeper to be Remy Vercoutre’s backup. His name is Frederic Roux, formerly of Nancy, Bordeaux, and Ajaccio. I have no idea how he is as a player, but Sam at the France Offside was pretty negative [...]

It was bound to happen. I’ve been reporting on Sylvain Wiltord unrest since last April, and to be frank, I thought he would be one of the first players to go.
He’s had the longest running transfer saga at Lyon this summer, almost signing for Rennes (his formative club) three times, and then somehow almost [...]
Category: Team News and RumorsLyon’s Defensive Options
By: Inara | 19 Comments
I’m fairly confident that Lyon will sign a defender by the end of this week. At the latest, by the beginning of next week. So I thought it would be a good idea to go over the players Lyon have been seriously linked with.

I don’t feel like writing about Lorient’s 2 - 1 win over Lyon yesterday. Lyon played like crap whereas Lorient probably deserved to win by a bigger margin.
What Formula One car? More like a beat up Honda running out of gas.
A message for Alain Perrin: Remy Vercoutre sucks, Fabio Grosso needs to understand [...]
