Today, Lyon’s new ‘08-’09 kits were unveiled. After seeing the color swatches on Inara’s previous post, I was hoping that it was all just deception, and Lyon/Umbro were really going to unveil different colors for the Away and Champion’s League kits. But, my hopes were dashed and we have “three” new kits. [...]
Not Just Yet…

As most of us already know, Hatem Ben Arfa has come to terms with Olympique de Marseille and for some of us, our worst fears have finally been realized. Like an amorous relationship you know just has to end, as much as it may hurt, you know it’s for the best. But HBA’s [...]
Lyon Aren’t Being Very Friendly
By: Inara | 5 Comments
Just the other day, the LFP published the summer schedule of friendlies for both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs. Nearly all of them will be busy this summer - Marseille have nine friendlies planned while Bordeaux have a respectable five (fyi, PSG will be playing against Porto in August - fun). Even the promoted [...]
Karim Benzema on Cover of FIFA 09

I don’t play video games. I’ve never owned a gaming system, nor have I ever wanted one. Online Literati is about all I’m capable of.
But from what I understand, soccer video games are huge. A lot of people use “Football Manager” as a way to judge players, and there is even a section of [...]

6 days, 4 hours, 13 minutes, and 45 seconds.
That’s how long until Lyon’s new kits are revealed (and no, I didn’t figure out the exact moment myself - there is a counter on Umbro’s website).
My question is…who is the blacked out bald guy?

Last week, Lyon Foot published a hot collection of Lyon players with tattoos. It’s a different sort of look at OL players, whose reputations normally come across as nice family guys. Which they still are, but sometimes we like to pretend they can be badass.
For me, the biggest surprise was Anthony Mounier. I mean, [...]

I’ve totally been avoiding writing about this because part of me still believes that it’s only a nightmare…But man, out of the eleven OL players in Euro 2008, only one will be showing his face in the quarterfinals.
I have nine other identical pictures just like this.

After several weeks of waiting, one of the least suspenseful signings of the summer has been realized. Former Lille LOSC and Monaco manager Claude Puel is officially the new manager of Lyon. The contract is said to be for 4 years and JMA has agreed to a compensation package with Lille for the [...]

By: John | 10 Comments
Greetings fellow readers. As Inara has been been somewhat busy lately, I thought I’d lend-a-hand and keep the ball rolling. If you’re like me, you need your daily posting like that morning shot of java, or your day just doesn’t feel right.
Lyon’s ongoing seduction of Lille LOSC’s most prized players and staff [...]
