Do you not giggle when a Nancy boy dives? Do you know Bruno Cheyrou from Benoît Cheyrou? Do you hate every other league for stealing all our good players? If you answered oui to any of those questions, I’ve got a proposition for you. How about contributing to the website you’re currently reading this very [...]

By: Sam | 1 Comment
So! The first two matches of your Champions League campaign can only carry you so far, as we learned today. Four-nil at home. Unreal.
A goal from Gerrard, a goal from Torres, a goal from Kuyt and a goal from Babel. Dear me.
Gaël Givet, if you’re reading this, you suck.

Well, it wasn’t at home, and death threats are perhaps still in circulation, but come on- do a jig, PSG are no longer part of the relegation trio, thanks to a win snatched from Auxerre at l’Abbé-Deschamps on Sunday. And who could’ve been more symbolic in scoring the only goal in that match than Péguy [...]

Fear not, readers, I’m still here and I haven’t forgotten to finish up my exposé of every shirt in the league this season. Here are the penultimate bunch.
MONACO: True, they’ve barely changed since the dawn of man, but they’re still nice. The red and white defines them, and they’ve stayed true to that. Then again, [...]

It’s the 76th minute. You’re at home. You’re in the relegation zone. In front of supporters who boycotted the first fifteen minutes of the match because of your shit results. Hey, doing this might help!
Goal Of The Week: Round 16
By: Sam | No Comments
Twenty-eight goals to choose from, and but three chosen. Pity, pity. But that’s the way it is here for the Goal of the Week, and I’ve got a fresh trio of beauties for you to pick from this week, after Stéphane Brison won last week’s competition. With that all history, here are, in order of [...]
Matchday 16: Wait for it… Wait for it… Bam! Goals!
By: Sam | 2 Comments
Let’s just say Canal+ picked the right three matches to be shown on TV on Sunday. In those three, which were Valenciennes-Rennes, Bordeaux-Toulouse and Lyon-Strasbourg, fifteen goals were scored. And these weren’t your everyday five-goal matches, no sir (thank God!). Valenciennes continued their impressive first half of the season with a 3-0 triumph over Rennes, [...]
“Le point sur” Lyon and Marseille’s Chances in the Champions League
By: Sam | 3 Comments
After the results were final in Matchday 5, Lyon knew their hopes of going through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, which they had so poorly started, rested on their shoulders and theirs alone.
In all fairness, the same can’t be said for Marseille, who kicked off their campaign with a bang, beating Besiktas [...]

Camo?
Camo???
I may have thought this looked cool back in elementary school, but since I’m quite past that, this shirt is just horrible.
