“A Point is Good”…WTF?

By: Inara | Comments 25 Comments

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the post-match comments from the players last night.
Alain Perrin: “We didn’t win, but at least we didn’t lose.”
Jean-Alain Boumsong: “We must be happy with this point because it will be important in the next few days.”
Juninho: “We wanted to win and get away from Bordeaux, but [...]

Fabio Grosso Bitchslaps a Player, Plus Other Lyon Nuggets

By: Inara | Comments 9 Comments

Fabio Grosso’s week isn’t getting any better. Last weekend, he was verbally abused by Strasbourg coach Jean-Marc Furlan for being a “piece of macaroni shit.” Today, during Lyon’s 2-2 draw against Caen, Grosso was sent off, the third Lyon player to be red carded this year. Apparently, Grosso - who had already received a yellow [...]

Rant of the Day: Lyon Are…Shittastic!

By: Inara | Comments 19 Comments

Remember the game that Lyon barely won against Valenciennes? Well, two weeks and three games later, Lyon prove that they can play even more fantastically shitty. Hell, they make it look easy!
So if you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been around the last week or so, it’s because Lyon have been embarrassing themselves lately, and [...]

Lyon Aren’t Out of Europe Just Yet…

By: Inara | Comments 10 Comments

At least the ladies team isn’t. OL Féminines, UEFA Women’s Cup debutants, are currently the only French team - male or female - that are still in Europe.
Jean-Michel Aulas has thrown all his considerable weight behind Lyon’s ladies team, who have the weight of an entire nation on their shoulders. And Aulas is very [...]

International Results

By: Inara | Comments 16 Comments

International “day” is over, so Alain Perrin can breath a sigh of relief as his players can now turn their attention back to Lyon and their march towards the double. Though Karim Benzema had to drop out due to injury, 16 senior players were called away on international duty, as well as several other youth [...]

Not Again! Manchester United 1 - 0 Lyon

By: Inara | Comments 9 Comments

I really don’t want to write a post match review (notice how I tend to avoid doing those for games that Lyon lose?), but I have to be brave and face up the fact that last night, Lyon once again fell short of their - and our - expectations.
Side note: do you guys believe that [...]

Winning Makes Me Feel Good

By: Inara | Comments No Comments

It feels like forever since the last time Lyon not only won a game, but did so with a clean sheet. The last three Lyon games have been rather depressing, with the last two games resulting in heavy losses, with an understrength Le Mans dumping us out of the League Cup and Lens humiliating us [...]

Dejection

By: Inara | Comments 33 Comments

I think the picture below sums up how I feel.

Someone give Juninho a tissue. And give me one too.

Goals: Le Mans (Matsui 28)
