My Coupe runneth over: The Lyon sleeps tonight, Bordeaux wins the Cup
By: Sam |
No Comments
It’s become somewhat of a tradition since Lyon started their Ligue 1 dominance all those years ago. That of Lyon not being able to win a Cup, regardless of their brilliance in the league. I’ll hand it to them, they came pretty damn close this time, but no cigar. It’ll be FC Girondins de Bordeaux [...]

As Bob reported yesterday, League Cups could be on their way to getting a little more attention in years to come. This sets the stage for the grand finale of the Who Cares Cup, aka la Coupe de la Ligue. Pitting the top two finishers from last year, it will make for a more interesting [...]
What does every single club in the world have in common? They all want Nasri sooo bad

And it’s not as if surreal performance against Austria did anything to calm the likes of Inter and Arsenal down. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that within one year’s time, every club in the world will want Karim Benzema as well. Here’s the video of the two barely legal teens teaming up oh-so-deftly [...]
Feel-good story of the year: Jamel Debbouze playing alongside Zidane
By: Sam | 4 Comments
Okay, so this isn’t a Ligue 1-related article, but it’s just too funny to pass up. Those who know their French pop culture will know Jamel Debbouze, the Morocco-French little tiny thing of a comedian/actor, who constantly cracks up the country with his never-gets-old jokes and mustard gas-like speech. Debbouze, who also lacks a good [...]
Matchday 29 - Lack of total domination? What lack of total domination?
By: Sam | No Comments
With nine weeks remaining in the season and a ludicrously close table, both at top and bottom, every game counts. Everyone says it, but in Ligue 1, four points separate third and eleventh place. Moreover, four matches this weekend featured a clash between two Top 11 (presitgious, I know) sides. Crucial as you like.
The soon-to-be [...]

First legs of Lyon, Lille, Lens and PSG’s Champions League and UEFA Cup matches combined: Two wins, a draw, and a loss, four goals scored, three conceded. Against Roma, ManU, Bayer Leverkusen and Benfica respectively, that ain’t bad at all.
Second legs of Lyon, Lille, Lens and PSG’s Champions League and UEFA Cup matches combined: Zero [...]

The second you get yourself interested in French footie, you realize that Marseille, the medditeranean city of Olympique de Marseille is otherwise known as Marseille Absurd Transfer Rumour City. This time, announced in France Football and L’Équipe, the two football papers of record? Carlos Tevez, the Argentinian who can’t buy a goal at West Ham. [...]

By: Sam | No Comments
Only ten games to go in the season, and (geez, who doesn’t say this) things are heating up quite yummily. I daresay first place is a sure thing at this point, with Lyon sittin’ pretty with a thirteen-point lead on second place, which is Lens, who have six points more than the next competitor. Apart [...]
