Black History Month: Marius Trésor

By: Magnusson | Comments 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 [...]

Domenech calls Carrasso up…

By: Magnusson | Comments 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 [...]

Mandanda’s Hologram.

By: Magnusson | Comments 4 Comments

Jan from the Bundesliga Offside sent me a link to this video of Steve Mandanda at one of the Adidas stores in Marseille. This is part of a marketing campaign of Adidas who will be featuring the two bigger youngsters in their portfolio, Mandanda and Benzema. The two players or rather their holograms will be [...]

France’s new BOSS, Steve Mandanda…

By: Magnusson | Comments 8 Comments

Steve Mandanda is good. Exceptionnaly so. We knew that. But if last season’s performances and his participation to the Euros were an evidence, the fact that he was given the N°1 position was not. Sebastien Frey has been number two (or three) for four years and was a lock once Gregory Coupet left. Except Domenech [...]

Arsenal finally gets Samir Nasri.
First of all, the latest news comes from France Football and is [...]

Raymond Domenech stays on…

By: Magnusson | Comments No Comments

This just in, Raymond Domenech will continue to be the French National Team manager. It seemed obvious when you saw the declarations these past few days, but still, WTF?
Get ready to continue seeing a boring French team. When you see how European football has chenged during this Euro, the time of Aimé Jacquet is over [...]

Pape Diouf: “They hate each other? It’s hardly news…”

By: Magnusson | Comments 11 Comments

I was watching last night’s 100% Euro with Pape Diouf as a guest – Sidebar, for anyone wondering, Estelle still hasn’t talked about the proposal.
So Pape Diouf was there and talked about the different files and players Marseille has been following. He confirmed that there was a deal done with Bakary Koné and that all [...]

Three Marseillais in Raymond Domenech’s 30…

By: Magnusson | Comments No Comments

Three of our players made the cut in Raymond Domenech’s list of 30 (That’s the first surprise, not 29, 30). Samir Nasri, Djibril Cissé and Steve Mandanda will be at Clairefontaine for at least the next two weeks and on May 28th, we’ll know if they’ll be in Switzerland and Austria this summer. A lot [...]

After the humiliations of the past week, a few Marseillais received some good news this afternoon. Steve Mandanda, Gaël Givet, Samir Nasri, Mathieu Valbuena and Djibril Cissé have been called up in the French National team to play for either the A Team against England or the A’ Team against Mali. We’ll see which [...]
