Hello, my lovely readers! Sorry about the extent of my absence – I had intended to take up posting right after Christmas but ended up taking a few extra days off. But don’t worry, not that much has happened recently to warrant posting.
So I thought I’d get started with the most important Lyon related [...]

Here we are at the last game before winter holidays! It seems like only yesterday when Lyon were losing every other game and having key players pick up serious long term injuries. Time does fly, doesn’t it?
Anyway, back when people were making rosy predications of a real title race in France, everyone expected it [...]

Question: If your coach calls you mentally unprepared to make the bench, if your club posts a statement on their official website saying that you can only leave on a permanent deal this winter, and if another attacker has been all but purchased, what does that say about your future at the club?
If your [...]
Round of 16: Who do you want to face?
By: Inara | 34 Comments
For the first time in five years, Lyon are runners-up going into the Champions League knockout rounds. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. For a while I doubted we’d even get the UEFA Cup spot. But Lyon overcame their poor start, and now here we are.
The draw will be held in Nyon on Friday, [...]
Category: Champions LeagueHappy Birthday, Karim!

Today is Karim Benzema’s 20th birthday! He’ll unfortunately have to celebrate it by going to practice, but after this Saturday’s game against Nancy, he’ll have earned a well deserved rest.
But even though it’s his birthday, he’s been the present for Lyon fans.
Since his senior team debut in January 2005, he’s played in 58 [...]

By: Inara | 53 Comments
Lyon have been keeping tabs on Cruz Azul striker Cesar Delgado for the past few months and recently sent Remi Garde to watch him a few times. It turns out that Garde was so impressed with Delgado that Lyon made an offer for his services.
It’s a bit confusing right now because O Jogo is claiming [...]

In case anyone needed official confirmation, Karim Benzema is now Lyon’s #1 striker. Of course we all knew it would happen some day, just not so soon. Kids these days. They don’t want to wait their turn.
Anyway, this creates a problem for Lyon. In an interview following the Rangers-Lyon match, His Highness Jean-Michel Aulas stated [...]
Totally Bogus Rumor of the Day
By: Inara | 22 Comments
Sir Alex Ferguson is a huge fan of Karim Benzema (who isn’t?). If you believe English footie tabloids (because they never lie), Manchester United are apparently prepared to offer either a flat fee of €32m or €9m + Mikael Silvestre and Louis Saha for his signature.
Let’s all laugh together. Because we all know it’s [...]
The Perrin Chronicles: Part II
By: Inara | 13 Comments
Does Alain Perrin fill you with confidence? Do you think he knows what he’s doing? Or do you think he just prays that Karim Benzema will get a good result for him?
I don’t mean to be cynical in what is otherwise a good week for Lyon, but you have to wonder how much of [...]
