Jeff Reine-Adélaïde

Jeff Reine-Adélaïde signed for Lyon from Angers for €25 million in August 2019, but in the three years since then, he has only made twelve starts in Ligue 1 for the club. The story of his time so far in Lyon has been one of regular set-backs and frustrations, but it’s easy to forget that […]

Castello Lukeba

Castello Lukeba was the revelation of the 2021-22 season for Olympique Lyonnais. His sudden emergence from the academy was a rare bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming campaign for the club. He began the season as an unknown eighteen year old without a single first team appearance to his name, but impressed in pre-season friendlies […]

Malo Gusto

Malo Gusto is an energetic right-back who came through the youth team ranks at Lyon’s academy and broke into the first team squad in early 2021, aged just seventeen. His debut came as a late substitute in an emphatic 5-0 derby win away at arch-rivals Saint-Etienne under manager Rudi Garcia. He was to make one […]

Henrique Silva Milagres

Henrique is a Brazilian left-back, who signed for Olympique Lyonnais in summer 2021, aged 27. He arrived on a free transfer from Vasco da Gama, in his native Rio de Janeiro, with whom he had spent his entire career since joining them as a schoolboy. He signed a three year contract with Lyon, tying him […]

Lorient v Lyon postponed

Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash between Lorient and Olympique Lyonnais has been postponed at short notice due to the poor state of the pitch at Lorient’s Stade du Moustoir. The match, which had been due to kick off at 13:00 local time on Sunday (14/08/2022) was due to be part of the second round of fixtures […]

Winning start for Lyon

Olympique Lyonnais got their Ligue 1 season off to a winning start with a 2-1 win over newly promoted Ajaccio at the Groupama Stadium on Friday evening. Coach Peter Bosz, whose services were retained following an indifferent first season at the helm, was able to name three of his new signings in the starting line-up […]

Sainsbury’s TtD Côtes De Provence Rosé

Tasting Notes This pale Côtes De Provence Rosé wine is part of Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range, so expectations were high. We’re big fans of rosés from this region, so it had a lot to live up to, which is perhaps why I was a little underwhelmed by it. It’s nice, but it doesn’t quite […]

Christian Patat Pecorino

Tasting Notes I’d only previously heard of Pecorino as an Italian hard ewe’s cheese, but apparently it’s a grape variety too. It’s a light-skinned white grape most commonly used in the Italian Marche and Abruzzo regions and it’s from Abruzzo that this wine hails. More specifically, it’s from the Terre di Chieti IGT (Indicazione Geografica […]
