There’s a word nobody really wanted to use since the beginning of the season. Not anyone who really follows this club anyway. Nobody wanted to be ridiculed for their alarmism but here you go. The word we’re talking about is “CRISIS”. All capitals too. Marseille has been designed as the only team capable of annoying [...]

Toulon, Monaco, Montpellier, Endoume, Aix, Cannes, Istres, Arles, Avignon, Nice and Marseille. So many clubs, so many local rivalries. But of course Marseille [...]

This was a tough and long week in Marseille. We lost our keeper to a ruptured achilles tendon. Then Albert Emon decides to be really tough on the “leaders” and makes our captain an example by putting him out of the group for poor performances.

The first goal came at the 21st minute by Mamadou Niang on a service by Taye Taïwo. Even though he was not 100% fit, Mamadou Niang was easily the best player on any team tonight. And Taïwo that I have been quick to dismiss after Laurent Bonnard’s convincing performances proved me wrong by giving this [...]
