Random Nuggets

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 Get Their Asses Whupped

By: Inara | Comments 28 Comments

These 3-0 losses are starting to turn into a yearly ritual. A humiliating one.
The game was so bad that Lyon’s official website posted a highlight video that was only three minutes long - usually they are around twenty minutes. Watching it, I realized why. Apart from Mickael Pagis’s three goals, not much else happened. [...]

Bayern vs. Lyon Preview

By: Inara | Comments 40 Comments

Since Lyon have only one point so far - from a home game at that - it’s crucial that they walk away with at least a point tomorrow evening in Munich. With Fiorentina taking on Steaua in Italy, it’s likely the Italians will get three points, so unless Lyon want to hang out in the [...]

10 Things I Learned from Lyon vs. Fiorentina

By: Inara | Comments 109 Comments

In lieu of a proper match review, I present you with this. Match highlights and photos at the end of the post.

1. When picking Brazilians, it’s Ederson you want. Leave Fred behind with the rest of the garbage.
I don’t mean to come off as a Fred hater, but did he accomplish ANYTHING in today’s match [...]

Benzo on the Upcoming Season

By: John | Comments 3 Comments

Lyon’s favorite son and patron saint of goal-scoring, Karim Benzema expressed his feelings about the upcoming season in a recent interview in L’Equipe. Karim speaks about the changes in the club this season, as well as his thoughts on his coaches- new and old- and his newfound superstar status on the pitch. I had [...]

Oh That Eto’o Rumor

By: Inara | Comments 36 Comments

I wasn’t planning a post on Lyon’s supposed interest in Samuel Eto’o because I thought that these rumors would have blown away by now, but with my inbox flooded with over thirty google alerts in four different languages - in just one day - I guess I need to be more proactive about it.
