Thank you, Sam !
I was stupefied to see the draw in live… I really thought I found it at 100% !
But I made mistake on Rangers. Never mind. That’s cool for Lyon, I like this group, that’s almost exactly what I wanted.

Jo’s prediction for champions league draw was remarkable!

FC Barcelona
Lyon
Stuttgart
Rangers

It was painful watching for me as we got each team I didn’t want to get – I couldn’t believe yet more bad luck! Being a Fulham and Lyon supporter I’m resigning myself to the fact that whichever team I seem to support seems to get impossibly bad luck

Do you think Beynie is strong enough to perform at least as ‘well’ as Fabio Santos as a DM?

Any expectations for Lyon in today’s CL draws?
You cant avoid any of the “big” 8 now. Though Arsenal is easiest of all. BTW I have given my predictions on all the groups on CL blog. Do give yours too.

At Inara – What do you mean by Keita v. 2? Has Kader Keita flopped already? All seems to be going so wrong for us at the moment!

Inara – Yo, it’s so fucking ridiculous the way everybody’s acting like “Hey I did my job but somehow it ain’t working”. Everybody’s trying to cover their asses and we all know the scapegoat strategy never works. You can’t work or base your communication on pleasing the fans. Saying “I’m one of the guys that work doesn’t fly when the whole team sucks”. BUt that’s how Anigo kept his job when Troussier came a few years back.

And apparently, Mancini’s coming to Lyon very soon. An offer of 20 million has been transmittted to Roma

Massaer: I wouldn’t be too harsh. The season only just started, and slumps happen. If people start looking for a scapegoat, it will lead to dangerous territory, starting for Emon.

Corey: I agree. I’m glad OL are having their yearly slump now. Let’s just hope that there isn’t a part 2 in the second half of the season.

Also, Lyon did recruit Cleber Anderson from Benfica to replace Cris, but he has a thigh strain so the club doesn’t want to risk him just yet. I am hoping that Fabio Santos’s injury is minor since temporarily, Bodmer can fill in as DM. Poor guy though. Since coming to Lyon, he’s played in every position except his own!

As for strikers, there was the brief 24 hour Mancini craze which thankfully died down. The last thing we need is Keita v. 2. There is a creepy Adriano rumor floating about. I am not enthusiastic about it because he’s worse than Wiltord and Govou’s partying ways combined, and Aulas hates that. The Julio Baptista rumors are still around and more probable, I think. Real wants something like 20 for Baptista though.

Better to have the injuries now then at the crucial point in the season where all 4 trophies are decided in two months time. It means that based on the extent of his injury, a replacement will have to be found, and seeing as how you sold Diarra, its gonna be pricey and may throw off the teams chemistry for awhile, but a center back (what ever happened to signing Anderson?) and a DM are a must, and if Fred is not gonna play for us again id assume youd want a striker too. Unless Quentin Bartlet or Bruce NDala are gonna be promoted…
