Lyon Get Their Asses Whupped
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 ...

 Bayern vs. Lyon Preview
Bayern vs. Lyon Preview
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 ...
The Truth About Referee Favoritism
In light of the recent accusations that Lyon get favored by arbitration by getting calls decided their way and the brouhaha over video replays, I thought I would post the results of an in depth investigation by Nice Matin , who took a look at every single error in every single Ligue 1 match in ...

Lyon vs. Nancy, Or: Pretending not to care about Bayern
Claude Puel says that the only game he’s thinking about is tomorrow’s game against Nancy, but we all know he’s lying because next Tuesday is Lyon’s crucial match against Bayern Munich, a game that Lyon need to get at least a draw in if they want to keep their hopes of ...

 Fred Interview
Fred Interview
One of my least favorite subjects- aside from ethnic cleansing, and life threatning diseases- is Lyon’s resident brat, Frederico Chaves Guedes Fred. Fred recently gave an interview in French on OL’s website. Since they didn’t offer ...

Do Lyon Have Goal Scoring Woes?
According to L’Equipe , this is Lyon’s best league start to a season since 2001/2002. Unbeaten in all their games, with five wins and a draw, they are already four points ahead of second placed Marseille. And despite having a defense that would make even the bravest of people ...

Lyon vs. Le Havre AC
Ahhh, hopefully we can have a slight respite from the recent Franco-Italian war that has errupted in our comments section of the post-Lyon-Fiorentina CL match, and during the lull in hostilities, get back to enjoying some L1 action! Saturday, Lyon ...

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 ...

Time really flies, huh? It feels like only yesterday when Lyon had once again shot themselves in the foot against Manchester United. And remember those back to back 3-0 defeats, one to Barcelona (almost understandable) and the other to Rangers ...
Juninho scores TWO free kick goals in one match
I guess he’s not as old as some people thought. Seriously, I don’t understand why people even bother debating on who the best free kick specialist is. In the game today, there is surely no one better than our very own reincarnation of Jesus . His goals were exactly ...

Lyon vs. Nice
Sorry that this match preview is so late, but I’ve been on vacation for the last two weeks, and John, who has kindly been covering in my absence, is traveling as well. So this is going to be a little shorter than normal. This is the fifth game of the season, and Lyon and Marseille are ...
