I’m going to take a quick break from the men’s team to cover the ladies. Even if you don’t care about women’s football, I advise you to stick around (as opposed to skipping to the bottom) because what’s happening has been rather interesting.
At least Lyon are on target for one European trophy…the Women’s UEFA Cup
So [...]

First things first, the last few weeks have been very hectic in my “real life” because I’ve fallen behind in my research, and as a doctoral student, my adviser is not happy with me, which is why I’ve had to take a vacation from the soccer blogosphere. So you can imagine my disappointment that despite [...]

Remember how I said that China were becoming Lyon’s new best friends? Well, it looks like Aulas takes this BFF business seriously because today Lyon launched a Chinese version of their official website, thanks to a partnership with TitanSport, a Chinese sports media giant.
Pretty soon OL will be signing token Chinese players a la [...]

It’s international week, so things are rather quiet on the Lyon front. Here’s what’s been going on:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fabio Grosso is back in training and is expected to play against Lille on October 18th. This is good news because if he does well, he play against Steaua a few days later. Kader Keita is also training normally, [...]

So far in this transfer window, Lyon have spent nearly €60m on incoming players. They are surely in the top five when it comes to overall spending this summer.
But it’s not just the men’s team getting the attention. Aulas stayed true to this promise and has strengthened the women’s team as well. No players have [...]

Today, OL Féminines defeated PSG 3-0 in the final of the Challenge de France (Women’s French Cup), with goals scored by Shirley Cruz Trana, Louisa Necib, and Camile Abily. This match was held at the Stade de France as the opener to the France-Columbia friendly. The ladies already clinched the league title a few weeks [...]
Karim Benzema is Ligue 1’s Player of the Year
By: Inara | 12 Comments
Remember when I mentioned the UNFP Awards? Today, the ceremony took place.
Unsurprisingly, Karim Benzema won Player of the Year, beating out teammate Jeremy Toulalan, Marseille’s Mahamadou Niang, and Bordeaux’s Wendel. He’s the fourth Lyonnais in a row to win the award - Florent Malouda in 2007, Juninho in 2006, and Michael Essien in [...]
Fabio Grosso Bitchslaps a Player, Plus Other Lyon Nuggets
By: Inara | 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 [...]

This has got to be the worst year for Lyon in terms of injuries. Important players keep dropping like flies, right when things are getting crucial.
Last weekend against Marseille, Jeremy Toulalan and Fred were both carried off the pitch within the first half hour. Both suffered knee injuries, and thankfully, neither of them were [...]

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 [...]
