Talk about a potential upset in the making. Lyon have a chance to break Madridistas' hearts if
they can pull out a favourable result at the Bernabeu. Its five seasons running that Madrid have
been ousted in the Round of 16 and they don't want to make it six.
Lyon have a 1-0 lead going into Wednesday and denied Madrid the important away goal.

Quarter-final Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Stade du Moustoir, Lorient
11:00 EST(17:00CET, 16:00GMT)
Well, Sunday saw OL stumble out of the CdF. While I'm not really upset- the referee did gift
Monaco's Nene that intial penalty that led to the first goal- I am a bit
disillusioned for other reasons.

Stade Lille-Metropole
Well, I'm back from my trip to Lyon- I'll try to have a post up with pictures later in the week
after I'm over my jetlag- and after seeing the boys barely come out of alive- were it not for a
fabulous Lilo free kick- against one of our thorn-in-the-side, bête noire clubs, I would
normally be feeling ok.

Stade de Gerland, Lyon

Sunday evening it's back to work. But hopefully, it's not one of those usual Monday morning,
sloping, sluggish, I need a liter of coffee to get through the day, back to works, because aside
from the heart wrenching matches against Cesspool in the CL, Lyon have been afflicted with a
general malaise probably since week eight in the PSG match, and need this victory to put some pep
back in their step.

Ligue 1 started with a bang and some 24 goals. Lyon already showed their limitations with a very
laborious draw while Bordeaux and Marseille showed that, yes, they were the team to beat.
Meanwhile, only 3 correct predictions for week 1. Ouch!
Not much luck for Lens last weekend who tied the game before half-time but managed to take 2 goals
in extra time courtesy of Marouane Chamakh and Yohann Gourcuff.

Just when you thought the door of the Lyon's transfer season had been locked until December- at
least if you believe Puel- with the arrival Bafetimbi Gomis, OL still have some
unfinished business to attend to, though it's all "out-bound" traffic, in their minds that is.
Really, Puel needs to have his head examined: his minimalist approach to recruiting is really
irking the crap-out-of-me.

Today, OL are in Rhône-Alpes to take on RC Lens. Lens is gearing-up for a return to
first division football after last year's soujourn in L2 purgatory. It will be the first meeting

(17:00CET, 16:00GMT)
Today, Lyon are up in Evian to play an amicable match against one of our cross-town rivals,
Grenoble. Judging by the group list and current state of crisis at OL, Puel is taking nothing
lightly: not a single CFA player was called-up, and every first-team player except Santos-
suspended for ten days, and probably never to set foot on OL premeses again- has made the trip.

Stade de Gerland, Lyon
3 PM ET (21:00 CET, 20:00 GMT)
Last week saw OL get-off to a good start in the final stretch of the season with a strong
showing vs. Le Mans. Lyon did alot of good things: scored three- I wanted to see maybe two more to
narrow Marseilles' point differential lead, Benzema broke-out of his miny-slump
with a brace and Jean the Monster Makoun had two assits.
