Arras + Adeilson
By: Martha |
There’s allegedly football being played in the first part of this clip. I have my doubts.

Nice-Grenoble: Never Mind.
By: Martha |Singin’ in the rain.
Conditions were so bad that the match was postponed yesterday, and then put off again today. For what it’s worth, here’s the lineup that would have taken the field — for the second match in a row, Rémy was in the squad but didn’t even made the bench. By next weekend, one [...]

More on Créteil + Bit of News
By: Martha |“This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
I managed to find the Créteil match and, while I’ll spare you a full report (I can hear the sighs of relief from here), I’ve still got some reactions to offer on a handful of newbies/youngsters/Habibs.
•Ospina reads the game really well — he’s almost never surprised by [...]
A Pair of Reports, One More Thorough Than the Other
By: Martha |The number of times this man yelled “HABIB!” against Lorient: 419.
Report the First
Alright, so, the Lorient game. Ugh. Fantastic to play like that and get three points, but still — ugh. The goal was a stroke of luck, a failed clearance that ended up at Chouf’s feet with the keeper down, and which he rolled [...]
Nice 2-2 Bordeaux
By: Martha |Where am I? Who are you people?
After the first 30 minutes or so of Saturday’s match, you’d never, ever have been able to convince me that Nice would get a point. Not a million years. As everyone who gave voice to the obvious after the match (Antonetti and Cyril #1 among them) said, they gave [...]
A Virtual Purge
By: Martha |Look at that face — it’s positively awash with guilt.
I thought I was over the Lyon match, but I just watched the Inside documentary at ogcnice.tv and am once again deeply depressed, albeit what I suspect is a very girly way — the rage is gone, and now I’m just really, really sad for all [...]
That Sucked, and This Won’t Help
By: Martha |I’m traveling and working and won’t be able to get a report up until Tuesday (which is probably just as well, since if I wrote it now, you’d get a long piece comparing Italian and French referees, mixed with a lot of mooning over Cyril #1 and being sent off on principle), but until then [...]
