Fabien Barthez Goes And Kills His Career As Nantes Plummets
By: Sam |
4 Comments
Parents, please, for the well-being of your young, I plead you not to let them around former/current Nantes goalkeeper and former (for sure) French international Fabien Barthez. He doesn’t belong on the pitch anymore, he belongs in a straightjacket.
Following les Canaris’ loss to Rennes on Saturday, more or less sealing their fate of relegation, le [...]

First off, I apologize for not posting all this week, but quite simply, there was not much to report. You’d think there would be, what with the season reaching its intense stage, but I just didn’t think so. Whateva. Now, with Lyon out of the equation, all eyes were on two matches, which were conveniently [...]

By: Sam | 1 Comment
Five matches to go for everyone, and everything is possible. Except for Olympique Lyonnais not winning their sixth straight championship. Other than that, sides such as Lens, Toulouse, Marseille, Sochaux, Bordeaux and Rennes separated by five points in spots 2 through 7. At the bottom of the table, things are shaping up and taking form. [...]

By: Sam | No Comments
Who doesn’t love cup magic? There’s always that one amateur team that knocks off a few big boys before bowing out very respectfully in the quarters. Well, France has a history of such happenings, and this year’s Coupe de France was no different. Montceau-les-Mines, the not-so-much-powerhouse that’s having a tough time breathing in France’s fourth [...]

By: Sam | 7 Comments
Sad, really. Eight goals in approximately 950 combined minutes. Lyon’s almost title-clinching win was overshadowed by the sheer boringitude of Matchday 32, which saw- get this- six goalless draws. High-flying offenses such as Marseille, Lens and Le Mans were held off the scoresheet, while the race at the top got (wouldn’t you know it) even [...]

Sam: Yeah right.
After footie tabloid Foot Transfert screamed that Lyon were officially jumping on the Samir bandwagon, the quintuple champions set things right on their official website. Honestly, the nerve of those people, stating that OL wanted to get their hands on one of the most promising midfielders in the world today.
The statement read (translated [...]
Djibril Cissé: My mother loves me, so shut up

As the common phrase goes, only two things in this world are certain: death and taxes. The way I see it, two things in this world are certain: death and French people booing Djibril Cissé. Hey, I like to boo an underachieving player just as much as the next guy. But when a mother’s grief [...]

By: Sam | 2 Comments
Olympique de Marseille is in eighth place right now, with eight games remaining in the Ligue 1 season. You may just know that’s not enough to make the UEFA Champions League. However, you musn’t write OM off for European football next year. The race at the top (well, excluding first place) is ridiculously tight, and [...]
