Transfer Rumors: Somethings Old and Somethings New.

Potential Lyon Target, Palermo/Dutch International CB Simon Kjaer
I don’t think that anyone out there- except for maybe Ronan obviously- loves transfer rumors more than I do. And with the winter transfer window approaching, lots of rumors have begun to swirl around. Thankfully, there are none- except for possibly the 15-year-old AZ Alkmaar midfielder [...]

Despite the continuing string of injuries- that would have crippled a mere mortal team- Lyon are through to the knock-out stages of the CL. Doing much better than just picking-up the minimum one point needed before Tuesday’s match in order to advance past the group stages, Lyon walked in and out of Stadio Artemio [...]
Fiorentina vs. Lyon: Going to Florence Without an Arm…and a Leg

To recap the situation in Lyon’s Champions League group, Lyon and Bayern are level with eight points, with Lyon on top due to more goals scored. Fiorentina lie in third with three points, but at the moment, they have a better head to head record against Lyon. Steaua are fourth with only a single point [...]

Lyon’s full-back crisis gets worse. WORSE! Is that even possible? From the OL website:
This afternoon’s MRI confirmed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament on Anthony Reveillere’s left knee. Consequently, his season for Lyon is over.
Reveillere can now hang out in Lyon’s very own hospital ward with Mathieu Bodmer, Cesar Delgado, Francois Clerc, Fabio Santos, [...]

Sorry for the short preview, but it’s been a crazy week for me. To keep things short, Lyon are traveling to Paris tomorrow, and three days later, they will be traveling to Fiorentina for a crucial Champions League match. Unfortunately, Lyon’s injury list continues to grow, so it will be difficult for Puel to continue [...]
Is It Money Well Spent?

Watching yesterday’s game against Bordeaux, I was struck by two things. First, Juninho is in danger of growing a mullet. And second, money doesn’t buy everything. Because even though Lyon walked away with the three points, anyone watching the game would admit that Bordeaux dominated the match both in terms of tactics and in possession, [...]

Alternatively: Benzema vs. Gourcuff. Puel vs. Blanc. First vs. Second. The Lyon Offside vs. The Bordeaux Offside. Inara vs. Jennifer. Etc.
All you need to know is that tomorrow features two of France’s heavyweights in a game that could directly influence the title, both in terms of points and in terms of psychology.

Blending Sincerity with Mind Games

Oh Jean-mimi. How you love to find new ways to make people hate you (outside of Lyon, that is).
This morning, in a rather long interview in which Jean-Michel Aulas touched upon various subjects such as Laurent Blanc, the title race, and Hatem Ben Arfa, he also spoke about his regrets at being unable to [...]
Lyon Calendar Pictures
By: Inara | 14 Comments
With the heavy fixture load coming up in the next month, I thought that before things get too serious around here, I’d share the pictures from the OL 2009 calendar. As I mentioned earlier, Lyon got creative this year and had the players dress up in a way that reflected some aspect of the player’s [...]
