The Nino Chronicles, Part Deux

By: Inara | June 24th, 2007

Sylvain Wiltord is trying so hard to be a pillar of Lyon’s community.

Organizing an orgy in his hotel room the night before a big game wasn’t enough for Lyon’s resident playboy. In his latest brush with authority, Wiltord was pulled over for speeding (he was driving 135 km/h in a 50km/h zone). He weaseled his way out of an arrest by paying a €1500 fine.

Raise your hands if you think Nino will be around next summer.

No takers?

Yeah, I wouldn’t bet on it either.

The US beat Mexico in the Gold Cup! I’m almost tempted to be proud, but Mexico aren’t the team they used to be (or else they never would have lost to the US twice in a row!).

Fuck it. They won a trophy, didn’t they? I’m proud of my national soccer team, even if they suck on a global scale (the men, that is) and don’t hold a candle to my adopted France NT.

He was one of my favorite OL players last year. I'm sorry that his time at the club is ending like this.

He doesn't organised an orgie...

The Tottenham blog has a thing about Kallstrom as a definite transfer target, so I had to squash that and tease him about his team paying 20 mill pounds or something for Darent Bent (who?).

He has always has these tendencies, it is why he loves Paris so much, because he can get away with that crap there. Oh well, he will be missed for his late game winners but other then that, he like Diarra, was a disappointment and nuissance most of the time. The right side of the midfield looks solid so I see no harm in getting rid of him, although avoiding the sale to PSG or bordeuax would be a good idea as not to strenghten a direct rival. SHip him off to Palermo where he can get in all kinds of trouble with their idiotic president.

You're not fair with your NT. Claudio reyna rules!!!(even if he don't play in the NT anymore I guess. And i remember of beasley when OL played against PSV, he was pretty good.
Gianfranco

Nice shout out to the USANT, they need the love. If they do not get it from the soccer lunatics here who on earth will give it to them. LETS KICK SOME ARGENTINE ASS!!!
Laurie

You mean he organized the orgy BEFORE the game? I thought it was after!

No wonder management is upset.

(Conservation of Precious Bodily Fluids and all that.)

P.S. I hope you've seen Dr. Strangelove, or that will sound really strange.
