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 [...]

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 [...]
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), [...]

Weekend Reading Material
By: Martha |Inara reminded me about this picture, and it had to be shared.
•Sports.fr just ran a short but typically positive interview with Chouf, who admits he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t worried about the transfer market, but is matter-of-fact about how things work at Nice. Also, he compares his old man self to fine [...]
Weekend Reading Material, Cyril #1, and a Horse
By: Martha |It’s a been a nice, quiet weekend so far — apart from the rumors that Baky pulled out of training yesterday, there’s been no news.* So, in lieu of transfer drama, here are a few Nice links I’ve come across this week. And, also a completely ridiculous picture of picture Cyril Rool (from this point [...]
