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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Fred’s Latest Hissy Fit
By: Inara | 15 Comments
Fred was very pissed yesterday when, as he was walking off the pitch during a substitution, he was booed rather voraciously by the home crowd at the Gerland. Sayz Fred:
“It’s very difficult. Every time, it’s the same thing – the fans are angry with me and whistle at me. When the team draws or loses, [...]

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, [...]

Lyon’s backline patrolman Cris has given a candid interview about former teammate Hatem Ben Arfa. Even though Inara wrote an excellent “cathartic” piece on HBA’s departure and most of us have closed the file on Hatem’s Lyon career, I thought this would be of interest.
In an interview with FranceFootball, [...]
Therapy Post: Making Sense of the Hatem Ben Arfa Debacle
By: Inara | 17 Comments
Disclaimer: I know that it’s been a week now since Hatem Ben Arfa left Lyon for Marseille. Both John and Magnusson have covered this topic very thoroughly, so most of you are probably tired of hearing about it.
But I just can’t let this go. I can’t just delete the “Ben Arfa” category on the [...]
Alain Speaks his Mind
By: John | 17 Comments
In a recent interview in L’Equipe, Alain Perrin spoke about his relationship with Jean Michel Aulas and certain members of the Lyon coaching staff during his tenure as manager. Perrin described the internal and external pressures- JMA and two members of the coaching staff- which created an atmosphere of hostility and the eventual scapegoating [...]
Raymond Was Young Once…

I admit that I have a rather unhealthy obsession with Raymond Domenech. Even if his decision making is suspect, his tact is nonexistent, and his best quality is his amazing ability to piss people off, I just can’t help liking him. Maybe it’s because everyone else hates him, or maybe it’s because he’s a Lyon [...]
