First of all, apologies to anyone who decided to watch the first 75 minutes of Lyon’s Coupe de la Ligue match against Caen. If you’re like me, you might have been wondering which team was newly promoted and which team had won their sixth title. If logic was anything to go by, you’d assume Lyon [...]

Reuters published an article about the nationalities of the players in the Champions League. It’s not that unexpected that Brazil has the most nationals in the CL, with 98 [...]

Today’s game between French heavyweights PSG and Lyon was a slap in the face of L1’s goal drought. Ninety minutes of goals, near misses, off the post shots, red and yellow cards, and a heated audience kept anyone watching riveted to their seats.

Lyon have the chance to reinforce their form in the league by getting good results this weekend against PSG. The capital club, on the other hand, have yet to win at home. Easy pickings for Lyon? I don’t think so. PSG are coached by none other than Paul Le Guen, a man who probably knows [...]

This morning, Remy Vercoutre confessed that he is still waiting for Lyon to begin talks regarding his future at the club. His current contract runs until June 2008, and Lyon, normally speedy when it comes to extension offers, have been very quiet about a new contract.

You can imagine my befuddlement when I opened my inbox yesterday morning and saw dozens of google alerts informing me of Lyon’s determination in signing Chelsea want-away Didier Drogba. It’s caused such an uproar that even the Skegness Standard is reporting it (and you know when the Skegness Standard gets involved, it’s serious).
