Bayern vs. Lyon Preview
By: Inara | 40 Comments
Since Lyon have only one point so far – from a home game at that – it’s crucial that they walk away with at least a point tomorrow evening in Munich. With Fiorentina taking on Steaua in Italy, it’s likely the Italians will get three points, so unless Lyon want to hang out in the [...]
A Look Into Referee Favoritism
By: Inara | 9 Comments
In light of the recent accusations that Lyon get favored by arbitration and the brouhaha over video replays, I thought I would post the results of an in depth investigation by Nice Matin, who took a look at every single error in every single Ligue 1 match in the 2007/2008 season.

Claude Puel says that the only game he’s thinking about is tomorrow’s game against Nancy, but we all know he’s lying because next Tuesday is Lyon’s crucial match against Bayern Munich, a game that Lyon need to get at least a draw in if they want to keep their hopes of qualifying for the round [...]
Fred Interview
By: John | 21 Comments
One of my least favorite subjects- aside from ethnic cleansing, and life threatning diseases- is Lyon’s resident brat, Frederico Chaves Guedes Fred. Fred recently gave an interview in French on OL’s website. Since they didn’t offer an English translation- and annoyingly, OL doesn’t offer translations for alot of their articles- I thought I’d [...]

News is slow and I felt like writing about something, so I thought I’d bring everybody up to speed on OL’s injuries, since this weekend we play AS Nancy and next week we’re off to Bayern for match day 2 of the CL next Tuesday. There is good and bad news.
The BAD:
Juninho: [...]

According to L’Equipe, this is Lyon’s best league start to a season since 2001/2002. Unbeaten in all their games, with five wins and a draw, they are already four points ahead of second placed Marseille. And despite having a defense that would make even the bravest of people whimper with fear, Lyon conceded only two [...]

Ahhh, hopefully we can have a slight respite from the recent Franco-Italian war that has errupted in our comments section of the post-Lyon-Fiorentina CL match, and during the lull in hostilities, get back to enjoying some L1 action!
Saturday, Lyon travel to Le Stade Jules Deschaseaux in the the northwestern region of [...]
10 Things I Learned from Lyon vs. Fiorentina
By: Inara | 109 Comments
In lieu of a proper match review, I present you with this. Match highlights and photos at the end of the post.
1. When picking Brazilians, it’s Ederson you want. Leave Fred behind with the rest of the garbage.
I don’t mean to come off as a Fred hater, but did he accomplish ANYTHING in today’s match [...]
