For those of you are brave enough to describe the above picture with words, it’s caption time!
Bonus points if you can find Lisandro in this picture.

Govou Drunk (Again), ♥♥Player Love♥♥, LOTS of Stadium Photos, Etc.

By: Inara | Comments 23 Comments

Just some random odds and ends for you to read as you bide your time waiting for Lyon’s Champions League clash with Liverpool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<— Sid’s Serious Captain-y Face.
If you’re wondering why the captain’s armband showed up on Cris last Saturday, despite Sidney Govou also being on the pitch, it’s because our dear (former?) captain was seen [...]

Nice 4 – 1 Lyon: French Comedy on the Riviera

By: Inara | Comments 18 Comments

Goals: Nice (Bagayoko 17, Cissokho o.g. 40, Hellebuyck 69, Remy 74), Lyon (Ederson 84).
Warnings: Nice (Coulibaly 5), Lyon (Cissokho 21, Gonalons 53, Reveillere 77)

The entire match condensed into a single photo.

Ugh. Not only did Lyon lose to Nice for the first time since 1995, but they also conceded four goals in the league for the [...]

Random News and Updates

With World Cup qualifiers about to take place, there isn’t too much happening at club level. But there are a few articles and updates that caught my eye.
The biggest news is the medical update on Bafetimbi Gomis. Two days ago at Guingamp, Gomis collapsed during practice with the France squad. He was out for a [...]

Le Nouveau Roi de Lyon

By: Inara | Comments 36 Comments

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.

Another Striker is Nice, But…

By: Inara | Comments 137 Comments

Lyon are continuing their spending spree by shelling out €13m for St. Etienne’s Bafetimbi Gomis (plus another €2m in incentives). His cool name and awesome hair will be further augmenting Lyon’s ever expanding strikeforce. I’ll have a post featuring relevant information and stats about him once he has his press conference, but for now, let’s [...]

Have Lyon Gone Batshit Crazy?

By: Inara | Comments 53 Comments

It was bound to happy eventually. I don’t know about you guys, but after the embarrassment of last season’s finish, I was dreading the oncoming ~dramah~, :tearz:, and angsty soap operas from the players and the staff. I was expecting a meltdown of epic proportions. I thought that the sky would fall.
Which sorta happened, [...]

Newsies For This Week

By: Inara | Comments 12 Comments

I plan to post a much longer entry tomorrow about Lyon’s winter transfer season (or lack thereof), but for now, here are some other things that I wanted to mention that don’t deserve their own post.

First off, it’s INTERNATIONAL TIME!!! That’s good news and bad. Good because some players get some rest, bad because [...]

Alain Perrin is Coming Home!

By: Inara | Comments 145 Comments

Sort of, anyway.
Alain Perrin took over management of St. Etienne last November, after the last derby that took place in August. Today will be bittersweet for him because he won more trophies than any other OL manager (four), led the squad to their first ever domestic double, and despite a horrible injury crisis, was a [...]
