Right. Moving On.
By: Martha |Putting aside the grim and heartbreaking realities that a)Nice, for the most part, have failed to show the necessary commitment for two of the last three matches, and b)Cyril #1 hit the bar with the PK that very likely represented his (and the rest of Nice’s old people’s) last chance ever to play in the [...]
Julien Sablé à Nice
By: Martha |[First, I apologize for the infrequency of updates here -- I'm just too busy right now to give Nice the attention they deserve, but I'll do my best to post once or twice a week with the big news, such as it is.]
This week, that news is the arrival of defensive mid Julien Sablé (presentation [...]
Nice 2-0 Auxerre (Highlights)
By: Martha |Report coming tomorrow, as soon as I watch the match, and my soul has time to recover from poor Modeste’s awful miss.
More Adeilson and Other Transfer Bits
By: Martha |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 [...]
Arras + Adeilson

ASSE 0-1 Nice + Some Editorializing
By: Martha |Who does he think he is, Gerd Müller?

That Ben Saada Guy Isn’t Too Bad, Huh?
By: Martha |Ability + vision + audacity + 10 pounds of muscle = legitimate future #10
I’ll have some sort of report up about the match tomorrow whether you like it or not but, until then, watch the above clip. Then, watch this one, which is even better, but is crappy when embedded. Next, sigh happily. Repeat as [...]
Nice-Bordeaux Stream
By: Martha |For anyone interested, here’s a stream (embedded under the cut, because it autoplays) — it’s crappy, but it’s all I’ve got so far. If anyone has something better, please drop it in the comments.
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 [...]
Remygol v Malta
By: Martha |The baby Bleus made easy work of Malta yesterday, demolishing them 5-0 to stay in contention for a spot in the playoff for a place in the U-21 finals. The first goal was scored after just five minutes by none other than Loïc Rémy, who happened to be in the right place at the right [...]
