Foto: Building Team Spirit
By: Inara |Judging by what’s going on in practice these days, it looks like Claude Puel is taking those rumors of team infighting rather seriously. It’s all about love and harmony, guys.
Coming off the set of The Sound of Music.
Lyon: Hospital Ward Edition
By: Inara |Just who isn’t injured? Of the ten players out, seven of them are starting players. Defensively, Lyon are once again in a crisis. They are down to their last men in terms of defense. Besides academy kids, Lyon have no backups at all. If anything happens to the players that are left, Lyon will be [...]
Sochaux vs. Lyon
By: Inara |So here’s the situation. Bordeaux are currently in first place thanks to goal differential, Marseille are two points behind us, also with a better goal differential. Tomorrow, Lyon are playing the last placed team in t, he league, the only one who has yet to notch a single victory.
If Lyon can’t win tomorrow, perhaps [...]
The Time-Bomb and the Brazilian Baby
By: John |I have a very low tolerance for “Diva-ish” behavior, no matter how talented a player may be. And as much as I dislike both of these immensely talented players, I decided to write a post because their fates may be intertwined – although highly unlikely- and I wouldn’t mind seeing both of them possibly doing [...]
Auxerre vs. Lyon
By: Inara |The picture on the left has nothing to do with this post, but it makes me laugh for some reason. It just screams DORK! doesn’t it? I don’t know if it’s the alien eyes, the crooked smile, or the extremely spiky hair, but I just can’t look away from this picture, it has me in [...]
You’ll Get a Laugh Out of This
By: Inara |About seven years ago, I came across Despair.com, a company that caters to both chronically dissatisfied people as well as disaffected college students. I have quite a few of their demotivating products (because that’s just what I need to make it out of grad school), so you can imagine how pleased I was by their [...]
Super Short Review
By: Inara |I know I normally do a post match write up after CL matches, but I’m running short of time and won’t be able to do the usual photo and video fest. Plus most of what needed to be said has already been posted in the comments of this thread. So here are some additional thoughts:
1. [...]

Shit. Steaua vs. Lyon
By: Inara |Lyon are SO not ready for tomorrow. We’ve all seen how badly they’ve been playing the last few weeks…last month, really. Lyon haven’t won a game in ages and have scored only a handful of goals from open play all season. I mean, how sad is it that their best chance of getting three points [...]
Fred’s Latest Hissy Fit
By: Inara |Fred was very pissed yesterday when, as he was walking off the pitch during a substitution, he was booed rather voraciously by the home crowd at the Gerland. Sayz Fred:
“It’s very difficult. Every time, it’s the same thing – the fans are angry with me and whistle at me. When the team draws or loses, [...]
