Lyon had their first summer friendly this afternoon against Nimes in Albertville. Goals were scored by Juninho (10), Yannis Tafer (40), and Anthony Mounier (63). This was Claude Puel’s first match in charge, and for many of the players, their first match in an OL jersey. And speaking of jerseys, as you can see, Lyon [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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).

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 [...]
