I don’t play video games. I’ve never owned a gaming system, nor have I ever wanted one. Online Literati is about all I’m capable of.
But from what I understand, soccer video games are huge. A lot of people use “Football Manager” as a way to judge players, and there is even a section of [...]

I’ve totally been avoiding writing about this because part of me still believes that it’s only a nightmare…But man, out of the eleven OL players in Euro 2008, only one will be showing his face in the quarterfinals.
I have nine other identical pictures just like this.

The UEFA Under-17 Championship is in full swing, and whaddya know, France are in the semifinals. They finished second in their group (Spain got top spot because they scored one more goal), and so this afternoon, they will be taking on group winners Turkey for a place in the finals.
Our Lyon boys are putting [...]
Hatem Ben Arfa to Arsenal?
By: Inara | 19 Comments
NOOOOOOOOO.
My very worst nightmare is coming true.
I’m a huge Hatem Ben Arfa fan. He has some faults, but I adore him. He’s so talented and has so much potential. I just know he’s going to be one of France’s biggest stars.
A goodbye kiss?
So these Arsenal rumors are making me cry. Granted, nothing has [...]
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 [...]
“Hugo is Perfect,” Secret Stealing Italians, and the End of Spa Week
By: Inara | 8 Comments
Be still my heart.
Gregory Coupet has designated Nice’s Hugo Lloris as his perfect successor. Geez, what more proof does Hugo need of my Lyon’s love for him? According to the media, Lloris would not be opposed to a move to Lyon - but not as Coupet’s backup. Nice would like to keep Lloris for [...]
Marseille Offer Samir Nasri for Hatem Ben Arfa!!!!!
By: Inara | 19 Comments
Normally, a rumor like this aren’t worth the paper it’s written on. But when L’Equipe gets involved, that means that something is afoot between the Rhone and the French Riviera.
Word is that Marseille would be willing to exchange Samir Nasri for Hatem Ben Arfa. It’s unclear if it would be a straight swap or [...]
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 [...]

Remember the game that Lyon barely won against Valenciennes? Well, two weeks and three games later, Lyon prove that they can play even more fantastically shitty. Hell, they make it look easy!
So if you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been around the last week or so, it’s because Lyon have been embarrassing themselves lately, and [...]
