Damn, Micoud scored in the last minute of the Bordeaux game against Toulouse, and now they’re back in the title race. I really don’t know if I should be irritated by this constant danger of Lyon losing the title, or happy because of some fierce competition at the top, along with the fact that there is now an another truly consistent performer going to the CL next year, and if Marseille manages to outbattle Nancy to 3rd place – there will be three! And I was wondering, would France be the only country in Europe without a team from the capital in the top flight if PSG gets relegated?

I forgot to mention the good news. Lyon have officially qualified for the Champions League next season. Even if they lose all their remaining games and Bordeaux won all of theirs, Lyon would still be guaranteed second place since Nancy could only manage a draw this weekend. So Lyon have directly qualified for the CL and don’t have to worry about the qualifying phase.

Also, I wanted to point out that we have four remaining games left. Caen and Nancy are at home, Nice and Auxerre are away. I don’t see Caen and Nancy beating Lyon at home, but they are capable of getting a draw. Nice is hard to predict, and Auxerre is capable of getting a draw with us.

I’m just glad it’s for a couple of days. True he’ll miss the game against Caen, but I’d rather have him well rested and ready to be back than rushed back with the chance of reinjuring himself. Hopefully Fred will be ready by next week, and if Ben Arfa plays, maybe we can manage.

That’s really bad luck.
We always get injured the players who has no back up on the bench…
That was pretty difficult yesterday. Strasbourg had to win to hope not being relegated.
3 points, that’s only things that count.

Benz may be out only a few days.

L’Equipe is saying that the injury should be only a matter of days – oh pleeeeease let that be true.

He went off at 35″ from an injury. There’s nothing more on the website. Not good news.
