The obsession of the number 3 strikes several teams today. Lyon, of Course, but also St Etienne, Lille and Nice. All can possibly reach the magic 3d spot, the last chance to play the CL, via qualifiers, next season. If it wins, OL is sure to confirm his place on the ...
Don’t be nice. Beat Nice.
OGC Nice vs. Olympique Lyonnais Matchday 37, Stade du Ray, Ligue 1 - 2012/13 The Plot This is the biggest match of the season for Nice. It is their last match EVER at Stade du Ray before moving to the new Allianz Riviera for the next season. For Nice, ... ...
Lyon vs QSG : a playoff final

Lyon vs Toulouse : Is there an end to our free fall (before we completely crash on the ground, that is)
How low have we already dropped? On the evening of the 26th matchday, the PSG was still in sight, three points ahead, but the OL had a rather comfortable mattress, 5 points ahead of Marseille, 6 of Nice, 7 of St-Etienne 10 of Montpellier and Rennes, and 11 of ...
It ain't working.
Stade de Reims vs. Olympique Lyonnais Stade Auguste Delaune, Matchday 31, Ligue 1 - 2012-13 In the Home fixture against Stade Reims back in November, OL beat them 3-0. Stade Reims was then in the middle of a 16 match winless streak. But no inference is necessary, people. Lyon has just had a ...
