For those of you who speak French and/or Portuguese or just like moving pictures, here’s Adeilson’s presentation. It’s hard to conclude much from those four-and-a-half minutes, but his words are optimistic and honest — It’s not often you hear a guy in his presentation at a new club say he’d never heard of them before [...]

[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 [...]

No Dindane for You!
By: Martha | 2 Comments
Nice are still shopping for the mythical New Striker about whom we keep hearing but, if the latest reports can be believed, their list of possibilities just shrunk by one: According to Lens GM Francis Collado, Aruna Dindane will stay at the L2 club at least until the winter transfer window opens, thus ruling out [...]
Le Havre: Le Non-Preview
By: Martha | 4 Comments
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 [...]
Weekend Reading Material as We Wait for the Lille Match

Given the expression on Chouf’s face, I’m going to guess Ospina’s French is still pretty bad.
Could someone please explain what’s going on with Cedric Kanté? Last week, he was complaining about how the club weren’t interested in extending his contract beyond its current 2009 end because of all the central defenders in the team. Now, [...]
Odds And Ends as Nothing Happens

The white ones don’t look bad from the back, particularly when they’re in a grand setting and say “Rool.”
The team were officially presented to supporters today in a grand ceremony (by which I mean there were men in suits while the team wore tshirts and flip-flops), complete with a big, pretty banner and the promise [...]

Nice 2-1 Grenoble (Plus Some Newsie Bits)
By: Martha | 6 Comments
First Half:
Letizi
Diakité-Hognon-Kanté-Jeunechamp
Echouafni-Fae-Helebuyck
Rémy-Modeste-Bamogo
Second half:
Ospina
Jeunechamp-Yahia-Cid-Rool
