Tuesday, slow news day…

By: Magnusson | Comments 7 Comments

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, [...]

The European Kits have already leaked…

By: Magnusson | Comments 4 Comments

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 [...]

Munich gets the Marseille treatment…

By: Magnusson | Comments 3 Comments

A few months back, Marseille was eliminated by the Zenit St.Petersburg and everybody, me included, thought we should have won despite the russians’ domination. Marseille was ridiculed for failing once again at this stage of the competition against an Eastern European team. We looked like world class choke-artists. But today I have to take back [...]

What the f*ck just happened?

By: Magnusson | Comments 5 Comments

I needed these 24 hours to watch the match again, to make sure this wasn’t a nightmare, to let the news sink in.
What the fuck just happened to us? Did we just do what everybody warned us aboput? Did we really lose to the same team twice in three years? In the same exact situation? [...]

Marseille 3-1 Zenit, we deserved more…

By: Magnusson | Comments 3 Comments

Call me greedy, call me totally ridiculous but I really came out of this game with the feeling that Marseille should have scored way more than we did tonight. First of all let me say that this match was near perfection on our end for nearly 70 minutes. There wasn’t a moment where I felt [...]

Marseille - Zenit St Petersburg, the preview…

By: Magnusson | Comments 7 Comments

With Lyon not believing in their chances enough to stay in their european competition (I really do think they should have gone for it if they wanted to win against ManU), Marseille is now the sole French club left. How odd when you consider the position that was ours four months ago!
Anyway, after Spartak [...]

Marseille gets the job done…

By: Magnusson | Comments 1 Comment

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 | Comments 4 Comments

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 [...]
