I didn’t have the energy to do an actual preview for this game, so I figured I should at least put up a game day thread.

Their Champions League Group is Group E:
Liverpool
Lyon
Fiorentina
Debreceni VSC
We’ve never played Liverpool in the Champions League before, but we did have two interesting encounters against Fiorentina last season. As for Debreceni VSC, they are a Hungarian team debuting in the Champions League for the first time ever.
I think Lyon could have gotten a lot worse, [...]
Le Nouveau Roi de Lyon

He’s already got the abs, the pointy beard, and the move-bitch-get-outta-my-way attitude. He just needs a sword (and a leather loincloth), and then he’ll be all set for world domination.
Anderlecht vs. Lyon

Tomorrow, Lyon will be facing off against Anderlecht again for the second leg of the final round of Champions League qualification. Lyon have pretty much assured themselves of a spot in the group stages, thanks to their demolishing Anderlecht last week in France, but it’s a stretch to say that the Belgians have nothing to [...]

I confess, it’s a little weird to be writing a preview for a CL qualifier. The last time Lyon had to worry about those was in the 2000-2001 season. That was practically ten years ago. But after last season’s inglorious third place finish, I’m just grateful that Lyon still have a chance to participate at [...]

Really, Puel needs to have his head examined: his [...]

This morning, Lyon announced on their official website that they had terminated their contract with Noel Soccer and by extension, with Umbro as well (Noel Soccer is the French supplier of Umbro). I guess this news isn’t too surprising, given that Umbro was bought by Nike almost two years ago.
Still, the general impression was [...]
Category: Team News and RumorsOMG THE SEASON IS STARTING aka Le Mans vs. Lyon

Tomorrow marks the start of Lyon’s 2009-2010 season. For the first time in a really long time, Lyon will be fighting to earn back the title, as opposed to defending it (maybe this will help the team wake up from their apathy). Tomorrow they’ll be facing Le Mans, who are definitely capable of surprises on [...]
