MORE Injuries, Plus Marseille Want Hatem Ben Arfa (Hahaha)
By Inara | April 8th, 2008This has got to be the worst year for Lyon in terms of injuries. Important players keep dropping like flies, right when things are getting crucial. Last weekend against Marseille, Jeremy Toulalan and Fred were both carried off the pitch within th ...

Maniche, Lucarelli Deals Finally Finished
By Martha | January 15th, 2008Both Cristiano Lucarelli and Maniche are, at long last, expected to complete their moves to Italy today, news that finally relieves us of the duty to keep talking about them. The Maniche deal, apart from the stutter last week when Inter and Atletico Ma
Yeah, About That Transfer -- Never Mind (x2)
By Martha | January 10th, 2008With Dejan Stankovic returning to full training earlier this week, and rehab and fitness work for old men Luis Figo and Patrick Vieira apparently going well back Milan while the team were away partying in Dubai, Inter are reportedly reevaluating their mov

Hello, Delicious Adriano Rumors
By Martha | November 6th, 2007Guess what, kids! Adriano didn't turn up for training yesterday, which instantly send the rumor mill into a frenzy. He apparently called in to tell the club he was "feeling unwell," but got a bit elusive when asked for details and, given that it's Adriano
Juve Rumor Fest
By Martha | October 31st, 2007I don't know if an informer just escaped Luciano Moggi's* secret mountaintop lair or what, but the papers today are just jam-packed with rumors about Juventus. Who's going, who's coming, who the gaffer rejected for unclear reasons -- it's all there in bla

By Ian Rose | October 10th, 2007This is the second in an eight part series outlining each of the UEFA Cup groups, and making my predictions for each and every UEFA Cup group stage match. Group B is, in order of seeding: Panathinaikos (Greece), Locomotiv Moscow (Russia), Atletico Mad
Swedes in classic UC comeback, Italians fall
By Ian Rose | October 4th, 2007We have some early results from today's action in the UEFA Cup, and one of the big stories is Sweden's Helsingborg. Having lost their opening leg 5-3 to Heerenveen of the Netherlands, their UEFA Cup campaign looked very near an end. But the Mjölkkossan
Motta to Atletico
By Isaiah | August 30th, 2007Not all of the details are in and nothing official has been announced, but apparently Motta is going to Atletico Madrid for 2million euros. Maybe his goal in last night's Gamper allowed this to happen, I don't know, but it's a good thing, in the end. 2mil
Derbi Review
By Corey | August 26th, 2007El Derbi Hala Madrid Hala Madrid Hala Madrid Big props to Steve-o ( I will never run out of nicknames for him ) for trying to live blogging the game today. This game will go down as unseen by both RM Offside bloggers, so match commentary is based on high
Liveblogging the season opener!
By Steve | August 25th, 2007well, it looks like most of you in America are going to get the shaft with the Madrid derby being tape-delayed, so unless you're able to get it streamed, I guess you'll have to make do with my first attempt at a liveblog. Thanks to Sky Sports, the derby
The Derbi!
By Corey | August 24th, 2007So obviously this weekend is the beginning of La Liga. I am none the more excited then the rest of oyu out there, and a derbi on the first day is gonna be intense. I was pessimistic about it earlier in the summer and I still am, I tip my hate to Atletico,

Today's video lesson: Don't clear into the box
By Ian Rose | July 29th, 2007Video from Atletico Madrid 1-0 Gloria Bistrita yesterday. It was a nice attack and cross, and all credit to Diego Forlan for the finish, but to be fair, the ball should have been well handled. After all, two defenders got feet on it. This was a rare mi
Updates and Tidbits
By Cesar | July 27th, 2007I wish there was more to say, but it's been a slow time for our lads out in pre-season training. - Hildebrand and Alexis, two of our summer transfers, are having physical problems and didn't participate in training the last few days. - Kim Kallstr
Video: Atletico Madrid falls to Gloria Bistriţa
By Ian Rose | July 25th, 2007All the goals from the shock of the weekend - Atletico Madrid's 2-1 loss to Romanian side Gloria Bistrita in the third round of the Intertoto Cup. Gloria has been well-named thus far in the tournament, only making the tournament at all because of the spo
Intertoto, Round 3 ... for all the marbles
By Ian Rose | July 24th, 2007This is it, the one that counts. The third round of the Intertoto Cup is underway, and eleven teams will move on from here to the second qualifying round of the (sort of) big show, the UEFA Cup. This week saw the entrance of some of the bigger names int

Like fish 'n chips...
By Brian | July 5th, 2007Fernando Torres and Liverpool were made for one another. He's a class kid and we're a class club. How can you not love a player who turned down moves to Man U twice? Brilliant. Furthermore, he said Liverpool was the only other place for him as he
They took our Luisy away
By Brian | July 3rd, 2007Okay, it happened. I cried. Again. Hell, I'm barely holding back the tears now. I had no clue that I had so much love for Luis Garcia. Hell, I don't think I ever wrote nor said anything positive about one of his performances even when he scored a bri
Sylvain Wiltord Arrested!!!
By Inara | July 2nd, 2007I had planned to write about the awkward situation Lyon is in regarding their left back search (both Inter's Fabio Grosso and PSG's Sylvain Armand want to join Lyon but only one can come to OL). And how Villareal is interested in Milan Baros to replace Di
Anfield Banter: Shunsuke Nakamura, Luis Garcia, Bolo Zenden, Jerzy Dudek, Gabriel Heinze, Fernando Torres, & another kid inked
By Brian | July 2nd, 2007* Well, it was only a matter of time until the SPL Player of the Year would be mentioned as a transfer target for Liverpool. We need a left winger, he plays left wing, it makes sense. The only problem is, despite Nakamura believing there is a £1m buyou
T-Day: July 10th
By Brian | June 29th, 2007Reportedly, Atletico Madrid has informally accepted a bid with the total value of £27m that may or may not include Luis Garcia. Whether or not Torres joins Liverpool is apparently completely up to him and he will announce his decision on July 10th, w
More Anfield Banter: Another keeper signed, Carlsberg sucks, & More on the Torres front
By Brian | June 27th, 2007* Who says we haven't signed anyone this summer? We just added our third (fourth, if you count Carson) reserve squad keeper with the addition of Bulgarian International Nikolay Mihaylov. The 19-year-old was the back-up last season for the Bulgarian cham
