UEFA Champions League
Tuesday, slow news day…
By: Magnusson |A lot has happened in the last four days. Once Bakary Koné was signed from Nice, Pape Diouf told the press that the Mercato was over for us, unless some other players leave. This of course came as a surprise as many players were believed to still be on their way out, namely Karim Ziani, [...]
Saturday morning MEGA update…
By: Magnusson |I promised myself I wouldn’t make this a habit but a lot happened this week IRL (In Real Life for all you World of Warcraft fansd out there) so I didn’t get enough time to post a thing on here.
Arsenal finally gets Samir Nasri.
First of all, the latest news comes from France Football and is [...]
The European Kits have already leaked…
By: Magnusson |These were supposed to come out in two weeks just in time for the UEFA to decide wether or not they will allow us to have our crest on the new uniforms. It seems very unlikely since UEFA are dumb enough to refuse Nancy the right to wear “Say No To Racism” on their jerseys [...]
Marseille in the Champions League, Samir Nasri leaves…
By: Magnusson |Thank God Micka Pagis doesn’t hold a grudge. The Rnnes striker who still is very popular with Marseille fans is going to be even more popular. Saturday at 8, Marseille was fourth and Nancy had their future in their own hands. To be completely truthful, I didn’t believe one second Nancy would let anything by [...]
Marseille gets the job done…
By: Magnusson |On their first European match of the year, the Marseillais team had to face an always hard to manoeuver russian side of Spartak Moscow. In what will be one of the hardest weeks Eric Gerets has faced yet, Marseille started with a diminished squad (Julien Rodriguez and Ronald Zubar, added to Karim Ziani) and some [...]
We Get Spartak Moscow…
By: Magnusson | For those of you who follow Marseille closely, Moscow and the Luzhniki stadium is a sore memory. It is the stadium that hosted our defeat to Parma Ac the year of our centennial. It was already the UEFA Cup and we got destroyed by Hernan Crespo Parma.
We’ll meet the russians on Valentine’s day 2008 [...]
Grand Opening, Grand Closing.
By: Magnusson |Ten minutes. That’s all it took for Liverpool to make sure they went through. I had to watch the game three more times to look for something. I don’t know what I was looking for but maybe in the midst of it I might have missed the fighting spirit. And I have to say I [...]
Marseille vs. Liverpool, It’s the Vélodrome’s turn…
By: Magnusson |Yessir, here we are. Finally! Marseille will receive the Reds of Liverpool in two hours, actually less than two hours. And now it’s the vélodrome’s turn once again to help us qualify. We talked about all the other games yesterday but the equation is simple. Marseille has NEVER lost to an English club (Southamption, [...]
D-1, Samir Nasri DID train today…
By: Magnusson |If you’re a marseille fan like myself, you can’t help but wonder how well Samir Nasri’s ankle is doing today and more importantly how well it will be tomorrow. The truth is I don’t knpw as there’s clearly a veil over that and Eric Gerets told the press thy could only be sure after tonight’s [...]
D-2, There’s no need to worry…
By: Magnusson |Okay. Apparently nobody is expecting us to win Tuesday night at the Vélodrome against Liverpool. I get it, they seem super strong, they have world class players and we once again will have to face a lot of injuries. Maybe not alot but some crucial ones. Samir nasri’s participation to the game will have [...]
