Newsie Odds and Ends
By: Martha |[Not as scared of Baky and Ben Arfa as he looks. Probably.]
•The Grenoble match will be played either a week from today or on the 17th of this month. The 10th was the league’s initial proposal, but Pierre Wantiez had a fit about Nice getting an extra day of rest, so it could be pushed [...]

Sorry I’ve not been around this week — travel, family and Thanksgiving seriously cut [...]
Yes, We Have No Ba-Rémys
By: Martha |Despite his admirable, 21-year-old’s confidence (which is about 15 years more developed than it was in the picture on the left), Rémy in fact did not recover in time to make the squad for tomorrow’s match. Bugger. There rest of the list is entirely as expected:
Gardiens: Letizi, Ospina
Défenseurs: Apam, Cid, Diakité, Hognon, Kanté, Rool
Milieux: Coulibaly, [...]
Midweek, Pre-Derby News
By: Martha |[Quansah jubilating, as Getty would say.]
•Ben Saada played 10 minutes of Tunisia’s 1-3 friendly loss to France yesterday. Friendly or not, it was a big match for him personally, since he’s French-born and won a U-17 title in a France shirt before choosing Tunisia as his senior side. (Based on his grinny, pre-match interview, though, [...]
Is it Saturday Yet?
By: Martha |Cyril #1 and his arms: Both happy to be back.
Apologies for the lack of posts, but there’s nothing freaking going on, apart from the official site failing to keep up with the schedule they made for ogcnice.tv. The one change there is that we can now pay €50 for access to the site for the [...]
Quick News Roundup (There’s Nothing Going On)
By: Martha |“Forget that medal, we give you flowers!”
If your club’s not buying or selling a superstar or sending players to Big Name European National Teams, international breaks are almost entirely bereft of items of interest. The Nice players not on international duty are busy training (there’s a very boring video proving this at the official site), [...]
Quick News Roundup
By: Martha |A back we just might finally get to see this weekend. Maybe.
Apologies for the light posting this week, I’m mid-travel and probably won’t be able to get a preview up, either. Things’ll settle down next week, though, just in time to get stressed out over the trip to Lyon.
Meanwhile, some odds and ends ahead of [...]
News Roundup as Another One Bites the Dust
By: Martha |Before it all went wrong.
When it rains, it pours — not only will Cyril #1 miss the Nancy game (at least) with a calf problem, but Ben Saada, one of the brightest spots from the Le Havre match in his 20 minutes of play, is now also out with a twisted ankle. Both of them [...]
Le Havre: Le Non-Preview
By: Martha |Sorry for the semi-absence this week, I’ve been traveling and have only now settled in once place (for a while), so there sadly won’t be a proper preview for the Le Havre match. Instead, I can offer you some links, will that do? What if I pledge real previews in the future? Excellent.
•Both Coulibaly and [...]
