The Daily-Or-So News Dispatch (07.08.31) Transfer Special!
By: Sam |Hear that creak? That’s the sound of the window closing. Forever. aka a few months. Boy-oh-boy did everyone’s favourite league produce some fresh comings and goings today! Let’s get straight down to them.
+ Man, Le Mans are fast. Bad news first: Backheel-master Grafite has signed with Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg! For a cool eight million euros, [...]
Représente ta ligue: Toulouse sees Red, Marseille to see Red, Lyon to Dance with Death, Lens Pwn in UEFA Cup
By: Sam |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 |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.

Matchday 5: That’s more like it
By: Sam |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 [...]
Gone for a few days
By: Sam |I gotta go back to bloody high school soon, so I’m making the most of what’s left of summer, and I’m going to Saskatchewan (woo!) for a camping excursion, and I’ll be back Sunday evening. Check out the other super marvellous Ligue 1 blogs in my absence, y’hear?

By: Sam |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, [...]
The Daily-Or-So News Dispatch (07.08.20)
By: Sam |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, [...]
