Djibril Cissé might not stay at Sunderland.
Djibril Cissé who has now openly said in the british press that he wouldn’t be back in France and that he would rather saty in England might not stay with the Black cats of Sunderland next season. While the red and whites expressed earlier this year that they would [...]
Ben Arfa stole some stuff from Juninho…

And here I was yesterday saying that Hatem Ben Arfa should have a beautiful game. Well apparently all I needed to do was ask. Ben Arfa was yesterday the type of player we want him to become some day. Here is the wonderful free-kick he scored last night against the dutch side. It seems that [...]
Category: UEFA CupTwente – Marseille, is it that time again?
By: Magnusson | 10 Comments
I don’t want to sound overly pessimistic but for the last few years we’ve always been eliminated too early from European competitions by a team that’s “supposed” to be less glorious than we were. I can’t explain it but if we get Newcastle or some bigger club, I’m optimistic. But make that club obscure and [...]
Category: UEFA CupMonaco 0-1 Marseille, we get back on the podium
By: Magnusson | 4 Comments
Let’s be clear and perfectly honest, everything we have done in order to beat Bordeaux last week would have been useless had we lost against Monaco yesterday. We’ve shown a lot of qualities last week, which is probably why Eric Gerets decided to go ahead and place the exact same team on the sheet last [...]

By: Magnusson | 5 Comments
It has dawned on me a few nights ago (well I was actually told) that it was Black History Month (whatever *that* is) so I’ll try to profile a few of our more important black players from time to time.
Let’s start with one of our most symbolic alums, Marius Trésor. Marius is one of those [...]

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced its 2008 African Team of the Year.
Our left-back, Taye Taiwo, has the great honor to be a part of it. In this team of the African continent, he shares the limelight, among others, with a former Marseillais, Joseph Yobo, who is now playng for Everton.

Marseille stays in the Race….
By: Magnusson | No Comments
Before the Sunday game, not many were betting on Marseille to beat Bordeaux and stay relevant in the chase of Lyon. Let’s face it, we have many important players missing (Mamadou Niang still injured, Lorik Cana’s injury much worse than initially predicted, Baky Koné’s injury much better as in “no surgery needed” but still three [...]

By: Magnusson | 6 Comments
In some kind of twist this morning, Raymond Domenech called our ex-goalkeeper and new Toulouse wall, Cedric carasso to the National Team. I couldn’t be any happier. Cedric Carasso never had a chance once Mandanda stepped into his shoes an left after a long injury. We’re proud of the Marseille product. Good luck to him [...]
