Like Bob said in his article about the game today, only domestic cups can offer the nutsness that is amateur clubs upsetting the greats of the top flight. Let me tell you, France has a knack of doing just that. Montceau-les-Mines, we salute you. Lens, I remind you, is second in Ligue 1 with a [...]

By that I mean Lyon’s injury-time two-goal comeback to nullify Sochaux’s earlier heroics Saturday at Gerland. Also happening was Toulouse humiliating Marseille, Saint-Étienne coolly beating PSG, and Nice surprising Lille with an exciting triumph.
With Sochaux looking to occupy a podium spot, Lyon knew they were in for a tough game, and got the message early [...]

In the end, two of four French clubs have progressed to the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup. Not bad, considering that some of these clubs are experiencing some rough patches in Ligue 1, but the way they went out was a tad depressing. Videos are below.
The good news first: Paris Saint-Germain and Lens [...]
France in the Champs League: Lyon and Roma can’t muster nuthin’ but cards
By: Sam | 1 Comment
Nothing doing in Olympique Lyonnais’ first leg of the round of 16. In a packed Stadio Olimpico in Rome this Wednesday, it was not Juninho nor Totti who would make the difference, but the English referee Michael Riley. As the saying goes, “When in state of boredom while officiating a Champions League match, hand out [...]
France in the Champs League: Sneaky Giggs punches Lille right in the solar plexus
By: Sam | 5 Comments
Man, it would seem that Lille isn’t a big fan of the 83rd minute. After seeing that fateful minute spell the beginning of the end for their match against Lyon last week, Ryan Giggs broke the deadlock today for Manchester United in the very same one. The video is below.
I’ll get to the two big [...]

By: Sam | No Comments
Lyon impressively came from behind to win at Lille, Paris spanked Nancy 3-0 away from home, and Barthez made his big fat return to Marseille, and had a great game to hand OM their fourth straight game without a win.
Paris climbed to fifteenth place after their impressive win over Nancy, highlighted by Pierre-Alain Frau’s brilliant [...]

The round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League is fast approaching, and with the absence of any upsets in the group stage, all matchups are bound to offer more spectacle than humanly fathomable and they all promise very balanced sides whom all have the same realistic goal in mind. Stop smirking, ManU fans.

UEFA Cup: Paris seems to pick and choose when to win, but they do it well
By: Sam | 1 Comment
First of all, I’d like to apologize for my recent impromptu vanishing act, this computer isn’t one of them hot high-tech ones, and it suddenly got sick so off to the computer doctor it went for a few days. But now I’m back! And good crap, why don’t you create four new blogs while I’m [...]
Nantes sack coach, seem to have a knack for hiring men with odd names
By: Sam | 1 Comment
FC Nantes-Atlantique, currently 19th in the Ligue 1 table, started out the season with a man named Serge Le Dizet at the helm. Translated from French, his name becomes “Serge was saying it”. Due to his suckage, adorably alliterative FCNA frontman Rudi Roussillon showed Serge the way of the door.
Before you could say a two-letter [...]
Matchday 24 - Lyon decide they don’t like losing, finally do something about it
By: Sam | 1 Comment
Matchday 24 in Ligue 1 set itself apart from other weekends this season, that being because of the 31 goals scored, Lyon snapping their pesky winless streak, some guy named Steve Savidan scoring four goals and an own goal in injury time to win the game for the opposition.
As the LFP’s official website cleverly pointed [...]
