Lyon 5 Marseille 5 at the Stade De Gerland. November 9, 2009. A nail biting epic with end to end action. This match will be talked about for years to come.

With L'OM cruising 4-2 it appeared as if the match was done but Lisandro Lopez who surely must be on Maradona's radar for his late goal scoring exploits brought them back on par in the 81st and 84th minute.

Derby games are always passionate affairs and they generate a lot of excitement but the match itself tens to disappoint the viewers, mostly because the managers are always too cautious and they prevent the players from giving their attacking best. The games between Lyon and Marseille have not been exception to this rule in the past and no wonder nobody expected too many goals when these sides met on Sunday, but we saw a remarkable match and no less than 10 goals, five on each side.

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.

2009-2010 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – GROUP STAGE
Everyone was so engulfed in all the drama going on in the World Cup qualifiers that without even knowing it the start of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League surprisingly crept up on us. It's only match day one of the group stage and there's a lot to cover already. Click to continue reading...

You know what they say about title-challenging teams: if you can play badly and still win, you've got what it takes to be the champions. The question is, does the reverse apply for relegation-threatened teams?
Grenoble are challenging the theory at the moment, that's for sure. Having played five and lost five so far this season, they've played well more often than not and yet still won nothing for their efforts. Click to continue reading...

Olympique Marseille have made a big progress during the last few years and they have again become one of the strongest teams in France but the last two Champions League campaigns are the proof Marseille are not yet ready for the big stage. Didier Deschamps' team completely outplayed Milan in their opening Champions League match but still somehow managed to lose the game and this shows the team are yet to prove they've got winning mentality.

Clima di burrasca in Italia. Le nuvole si addensano su molte citt� del "bel paese". Ma il "nero" non riguarda solamente le condizioni metereologiche. Infatti, se ci spostiamo in tema calcio, su Milanello e dintorni il sereno è ormai sparito. In Serie A, infatti, il Milan annaspa, e allora si prova a ritrovare linfa in Europa.

So apparently Abou Diaby collided with Hugo Lloris in training, causing injury. Now Lloris is "something of a doubt" for the Romania game. This would leave l'OM's Steve Mandanda as the keeper for the day. What do you think?

And not only that, but Franck Ribéry is also doubtful, having not quite recovered from tendinitis.

Yes, believe it or not, as long as it took to get going it's now a weekly fixture in the calendar of many.

Les Girondins stock is incredibly high because Laurent Blanc whose footballing IQ must make him the Albert Einstein of the sport has fashioned a team in which "eleven players think the same thing at the same time."

The French Ligue threw up so many surprises last season. Lyon's uninterrupted reign was finally ended and Guingamp won the Coupe De France.

Lyon is back!!! Last week's win at the Velodrome was an emotional thing for the team and supporters.

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I've been flying high lately. Tuesday's 3-0 win at Nantes, saw Lyon break a five match winless streak, and the team play like a team again: crisp passing, free-flowing, attacking football; beautiful stuff.

French midfielder Samir Nasri wants the Arsenal supporters to be the team's 12th man as the Gunners will face Manchester United in the 2nd leg of the Champions League semi-final. He told L'Equipe:

We need the 12th man. If I can ask one thing, it is that the Emirates is transformed into the Velodrome this evening.

The big dance is tomorrow. Arsenal finds out whether they can pull off what will be one of their biggest wins. Against a Man Utd team that is great at closing out the deal. The CL final spot is on the line.

A 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1?

The latter formation did not work because Adebayor was very effectively neutralized by Ferdinand and Vidic and there was no striker tandem to offset that advantage.

Bordeaux 1 - 0 Lyon.

No Cavegol, no problem. French international and ex-Lyon player Alou Diarra's 43′rd minute poke gave Les Girondins a deserved win against a rather lackluster Lyon side; adding misery to manager Claude Puel's future and potentially kissed away Lyon's title hopes.
