Juninho’s WUNDERGOAL Against Sedan

By: Inara | Comments 30 Comments

Juninho doesn’t just look like Jesus. He’s also got his divine powers. How else to explain this last minute free kick that defies the laws of physics, wins the game for Lyon, and propels the club to their first French Cup final in 33 years?

This is Juninho’s 38th free kick goal for Lyon in [...]

The 20 Highest Paid Players in France - Lyon Once Again Dominate

By: Inara | Comments 2 Comments

This year, 13 of the 20 highest paid footballers in Ligue 1 are from Lyon. Last year, there were only 11. Which is strange because I could swear Aulas wanted to bring down Lyon’s payroll. Of course, only a handful of players appear on the list of the best 50 paid players in the world. [...]

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 [...]

Le Mans vs. Lyon (Champions League Warm Up)

By: Inara | Comments 41 Comments

Time to get back to business.
Lyon will have one eye (actually, both eyes) firmly fixed on next Wednesday’s clash with Manchester United when they travel to Le Mans tomorrow. The LFP kindly pushed this fixture up to an earlier time frame, which will make recovery easier over the weekend.
I’m sure all of you [...]

Lyon Sign EDERSON and BOUMSONG (plus other transfer news)

By: Inara | Comments 38 Comments

With only three days left in the transfer window, Lyon’s mercato is wrapping up, and as far as I know, these two are the last arrivals (unless Lyon do bring in a DM). Ederson has been a long time Lyon target, and today, he signed from Nice for €15m on a 4 and a half [...]

Injury Horrors: The Brazilian Edition

By: Inara | Comments 40 Comments

WHY OH WHY????
It’s like every blade of grass is determined to ruin Lyon this season. How else can you explain the fact that Lyon have lost four defensive players to serious, long term knee injuries in the space of six months? FOUR.
First there was Gregory Coupet, immediately followed by Cris, then Patrick Muller, [...]

Nancy vs. Lyon (Or, Nancy Boys Get Ready to Kick Our Asses)

By: Inara | Comments 58 Comments

Here we are at the last game before winter holidays! It seems like only yesterday when Lyon were losing every other game and having key players pick up serious long term injuries. Time does fly, doesn’t it?
Anyway, back when people were making rosy predications of a real title race in France, everyone expected it [...]

Rangers vs. Lyon Preview

By: Inara | Comments 59 Comments

Well, here it is. The game that will make or break the rest of Lyon’s season. If Lyon want to progress to the next Champions League round, they have to win. If you’re as nervous as I am, you’ll probably be popping pills all day Wednesday leading up to the game, and after the game, [...]

Lyon 5 - 0 Strasbourg - A Walk In the Park

By: Inara | Comments 5 Comments

Until this afternoon, Strasbourg had the second best defensive record in the league. But 90 minutes later, they were left behind on the sidewalk as Lyon strolled to a comfortable 5-0 win. This game is especially notable for Francois Clerc, who scored his first league goal ever.

Kim Kallstrom scored a brace.
