Werder Bremen’s Boubacar Sanogo rubs it in…
By: Magnusson |It is not a secret for anyone who has been following marseille this season that we’ve been having some huge problems with the offense. We know José Anigo has been going all around the world to scout players who may or may not pan out. This is the moment Boubacar Sanogo chose to stir a [...]
Oh No! They had to hurt Samir, the bastards (Besiktas 2-1 OM)…
By: Magnusson |DISAPPOINTMENT. This is the word that best describes last night’s game. We had the place to easily win the match but too many approximations and a flagrant lack of experience were fatal to us. I won’t say that I’m pissed at the referee because that would be crass but goddamn motherfucker!!! How about a call [...]
Besiktas vs. Marseille Preview…
By: Magnusson |The situation is simple, Marseille needs to win this game. This group is still wide open and every team can still go through. If Marseille loses tomorrow, the situation will be almost impossible for us to overcome. With what is widely believed to be the lesser team in this group, Marseille will have to continue [...]

Marseille 3-1 Metz, with Turkey in sight…
By: Magnusson |What a great game on ourend! Marseille controlled the game from start to finish and Metz never stood a chance.

Djibril Cissé wants you to leave him alone…
By: Magnusson |Djibril Cissé insisted on being the one player to answer questions on friday morning even though the club had conveniently scheduled him for late december, hoping he would be better on the pitch than he is today.
But, always the straight shooter, Djibril wanted to give the members of the press a piece of his mind [...]
What the HELL were we thinking? The Brazilian edition…
By: Magnusson |This “what the HELL were we thinking?” column came to me when Sam commented on the recent departure of Matt Moussilou after 120 minutes with the jersey. That particular player’s recruitment -This is a guy who hasn’t played in a year, mind you - prompted the question of “what the fuck was José thinking when [...]
Matt Moussilou, 122 minutes later….
By: Magnusson |We were talking about it a few days ago and now it’s done. Marseille has freed some space in their payroll now that Matt Moussilou has been oficially loaned to Qatari club Al Arabi with a possibility for them to buy him if he manages to make it in the always very competitive and challenging [...]
