Okay, first off, 4-0? Ouch. That’s embarassing. I’ll let Brian at the Liverpool Offside tell you more about it here.
Now! The draw for the Champions League group stage was held today, and there’s much to say about where our two favourite competitors Lyon and Marseille have been thrown.
Marseille have a tough but manageable group with [...]
Goal of the Week: Round 6
By: Sam | No Comments
So basically, last round had no contest. Daisuke Matsui’s ninja flick has to be one of the best scored in Europe this year. Which is a bit of a letdown for this week, which produced many, many, ball-is-loose-in-the-area goals. Regardless, here are, in alphabetical order of keeper scored against, the candidates for this week’s goal [...]

Thirty goals in ten matches, thanks so much. Many things to say about this week’s action, including Lyon’s win in the derby against Saint-Étienne, Marseille’s first win of the season, Nancy’s continuing dominance, Metz’s continued not-dominance, and so on and so forth. After Lens’ loss to Strasbourg, we were dumbstruck to find out about Guy [...]

Grabbing her first-born child by the scruff of the neck, Mary hurried him inside the house and told him to stay there. She knew the storm was coming. The storm of Ligue 1 transfer and injury news, that is. She also knew the storm would be a savage one, with stuff on Fred, Cédric Carrasso, [...]

Staring blankly at the two options in front of the register, Molly couldn’t make up her mind. Should she buy the transfer news, or the news surrounding the national team? Finally, after much deliberation, the avid shopper walked out of the France Offside store, with both items under her arm, with stuff about Jérôme Rothen, [...]
