Today, Lyon’s new ‘08-’09 kits were unveiled. After seeing the color swatches on Inara’s previous post, I was hoping that it was all just deception, and Lyon/Umbro were really going to unveil different colors for the Away and Champion’s League kits. But, my hopes were dashed and we have “three” new kits. [...]

As most of us already know, Hatem Ben Arfa has come to terms with Olympique de Marseille and for some of us, our worst fears have finally been realized. Like an amorous relationship you know just has to end, as much as it may hurt, you know it’s for the best. But HBA’s [...]

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 [...]

That’s how long until Lyon’s new kits are revealed (and no, I didn’t figure out the exact moment myself - there is a counter on Umbro’s website).
My question is…who is the blacked out bald guy?

Greetings fellow readers. As Inara has been been somewhat busy lately, I thought I’d lend-a-hand and keep the ball rolling. If you’re like me, you need your daily posting like that morning shot of java, or your day just doesn’t feel right.
Lyon’s ongoing seduction of Lille LOSC’s most prized players and staff [...]
Introductions + US Friendly
By: Inara | 26 Comments
First of all, I’m really sorry that I haven’t been posting this past week. My internet in my apartment isn’t working at the moment, and I can’t access the Offside’s admin page from my lab. It’s unfortunate about the timing because so many things have been going on that I haven’t covered.
