Marseille 2-1 Ajax, An unconvincing victory…

Despite winning against a young and inexperienced Ajax team, Olympique de Marseille doesn’t seem to have done what was asked of them. As we played for the most part of the game against a 10-man team, we would have liked to see at least one more goal.
When we get back to the Arena next week, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
The french veteran came in free of charge from Rennes for the next six months after Guy Lacombe decided not to use him anymore [...]

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, [...]

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 | 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 [...]
Category: UEFA CupWhat the f*ck just happened?
By: Magnusson | 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? [...]
Category: UEFA CupMarseille 3-1 Zenit, we deserved more…
By: Magnusson | 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 [...]
Category: UEFA CupMarseille – Zenit St Petersburg, the preview…
By: Magnusson | 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 [...]
