Aulas's insistence that Houllier will be around next year is on the front page of ESPN's Europe section (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/section?id=europe&cc=5739).

That picture of him is just priceless.

Your right it is:

Fred has been left out of the squad for what could be our championship winning game this weekend. The coach has decided to sanction him for being late to a training session.

It's not the championship winning game anymore since Toulouse is leading Auxerre by two goals. So unless something weird happens and Auxerre manages three goals in the next twenty minutes, Lyon will have to wait until Wednesday.

[Allez Lyonnais]

We can wait. No big deal. :D

I had this posted elsewhere, but it's also relevant here.

The 20 highest paid players in France, according to France Football.


1 - Djibril Cissé 4.8 ME
2 - Pedro Pauleta 4.6 ME
3 - Juninho Pernambucano 4.55 ME
4 - Sidney Govou 4.5 ME
5 - Sylvain Wiltord 4.45 ME
6 - Franck Ribéry 4.4 ME
7 - Tiago Mendes 3.8 ME
8 - Florent Malouda 3.6ME
9 - Fred Chaves Guedes 3.5 ME
10 - Gregory Coupet 3.45 ME
11 - Mario Yepes 3.4 ME
12 - Milan Baros 2.8 ME
13 - Cris Marques Gomes 2.65 ME
14 - Gerald Cid 2.6 ME
15 - Sebastian Squillaci 2.5 ME
16 - Johan Micoud 2.44 ME
17 - Lucas Bernardi 2.4 ME
18 - Bonaventure Kalou 2.35 ME
19 - Eric Abidal 2.3 ME
20 - Gael Givet 2.2 ME


If Eric is getting paid less than new boy Squillaci - I don't blame him for wanting to leave!

[Allez Lyonnais]

Thanks for the nugget. I wish I could give you a rep.

[DaeHaMinGuk]

We are badly overpaying Govou and Wiltord, especially since they rarely both start simultaneously. 9 mill a year for a RW?

[ilv2]

congratulations on the title.



not even remotely exciting, but six is historical in any case.

[Allez Lyonnais]

It's like you're the only one who seems to care about this title around here. :o

[Douai]

You guys should vote on a tag-line for your forum.I think the tag-line should have something about your 6ème titre, and for being champions of Ligue 1.

On the field Raymond was such a poet. Like Jurietti and Llacer. :D

That's Bernard Lacombe. He is a former striker and the current advisor of Lyon.

[Allez Lyonnais]

Fred, Diarra, and Govou have returned to the first team.
