OM v Milan : Halftime Report
By: Richard | 14 Comments
Well when I said expect a physical game I didn’t expect it to be like this! That being said I’m happy with the way we are playing Milan are having a hard time holding down Brandao and Niang. Yet our defense is certainly not up to par. Taiwo is having a hard time containing Pato, [...]

Sorry for getting this pre-game post in so late but today was hectic to say the least. Well I’m sure everyone by now is aware (spoiler alert!) that Liverpool have been knocked out *sobs.* Liverpool had their judgment day, well today its ours.

Since his good showing in the 2006 World Cup, Ribery has continued to blossom in his creative midfield role, going from [...]
Drogba-to-Marseille prospect returns in cyclical fashion
By: Daniel Phan | 14 Comments
It’s intriguing, or rather not – to hear of speculation surrounding the ‘imminent’ return of Didier Drogba to the Vélodrome.
You may ask “Why the pessimism? My answer is simply that it has been a reoccurring scenario that comes and goes in periodical cycles as frequent as Berlusconi makes the Italian tabloids – each instance teasing [...]

Yesterday around noon, Nino Wiltord arrived at the Commanderie for the traditional medical visit and an hour later, he was on the pitch for the first practice session of his Marseille career.
