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

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 [...]

Lyon have been waiting for a European title for a long time. Except it turns out that the ladies just might beat the men in bringing home that coveted prize. Though this year was the debut of OL Ladies in Europe, they’re three games away from clinching France’s first ever UEFA Women’s Cup.
Last week, Lyon [...]

Yesterday was the first leg tie of the UEFA Women’s Cup quarterfinals, with Lyon playing first leg against the title holders Arsenal at the Stade de Gerland.
Arsenal, who’ve steam rolled every team they’ve come up against so far, were forced to content themselves with their first scoreless draw in the competition. Lyon on the [...]
Milan Baros Gets Political and some other stuff
By: Inara | 20 Comments
Milan Baros, who hasn’t been seen in a Lyon kit for several weeks now, is apparently involved in a row with the Civic Democrats, the current ruling part of the Czech Republic. Apparently, he agreed to campaign for them and make appearances on behalf of their party during the elections, and in return, they were [...]

Lyon players had a very good international break. Last weekend, Karim Benzema, Hatem Ben Arfa, and Fabio Grosso all scored goals for their respective national teams (Benzema scored two). Today, Hatem Ben [...]
The Ladies Try to Change Lyon’s European Luck
By: Inara | 11 Comments
Lyon’s ambitions to be ranked among Europe’s best female teams will be put to the test this week as they enter the UEFA Women’s Cup second qualifying round. And though I hate to say it, OL Ladies probably have a better chance at European glory this year than the men’s side.
When FC Lyon Fémenin [...]
