Ligue 1&#8217;s much hyped Clasico did not produce much, except for a few H1N1 antibodies. Meanwhile, the yet unnamed  battle of the Olympienes (Olympico maybe?) only needed about 12 minutes to turn from a hotly anticipated into a great game. Another 12 minutes on the other end, turned what was then already a fantastic [...]]]></description>

[Spotted on l'OM Offside]
Fantastique blog fodder from Marseille&#8217;s favorite bench-riding l&#8217;enfant terrible Hatem Ben Arfa, who had a slight wardrobe malfunction this weekend. Summoned to enter a losing cause, Hatem whipped off his tracksuit to unsuspectingly unveil a #11 Mamadou Niang kit adorning his back. Not having legally changed his name, he was forced to [...]]]></description>

This has been a fantastic weekend to hate somebody and wish him ill almost everywhere around the world.
As Daryl pointed out earlier, this weekend&#8217;s fixture calendar was overflowing with big derbies and heated rivalries including three different flavored clasicos, inter-city and intercontinental matches. Time for a quick wrap up.

The late great Christopher Wallace once said, &#8220;Mo&#8217; money, mo&#8217; problems&#8221; &#8211; and ain&#8217;t that the truth (mm hmm, preach it).

[Third]
Oftentimes we attack certain kits with hyperbole for effect. This is not one of those cases. This is genuinely the most hideous kit I have ever seen, confirmed up by a brief short poll at The Offside Global Headquarters. So awful it leads to the question: Has anyone refused to sign with a team based [...]]]></description>

Lyon lost their kung-fu grip on the Ligue 1 trophy some ways back and a new champion was always inevitable, but that doesn&#8217;t make it less of a story.

First, I just can&#8217;t look at Bordeaux&#8217;s kits this year without thinking of adorable little boys in sailor suits.
