Yohann Lasimant, Yacine Brahimi, Yann Mvila and Damien “Not […]

Well, it’s a well-known story in the modern game : a good player comes through the ranks of a mid-table side, playing well, and before he’s managed to lift the team that fed him to greater success, he’s already leaving for greener pastures. Rennes isn’t an exception to this rule, and with the best youth […]

Landreau
Ceara, Yepes, Camara, Sakho
Souza, Clément, Chantôme, Armand

In fact, I just noticed that Rothen […]

Whilst the EPL has splashed £150M (that’s £7,5M per club, and since Man U and Arsenal didn’t spend a penny, £8,3M per club for the other 18) during January 2008, French clubs were more conservative. With a grand total of 27 buys (real buys, not loans), the french mercato wasn’t the most exciting one ever, […]
Funny things about Rennes-Marseille
By: Shazback | 4 Comments
Whilst I was watching Rennes-Marseille, I was surprised by the large amount of trivia that the commentators were talking about. So I decided to have a little look of my own on what was strange in this game that happened only one day short of a year after the last Rennes-Marseille in Ligue 1, also […]
How do you say “We don’t need you” in swedish?
By: Shazback | 3 Comments
Rennes’ Swedish link is something that almost became a tradition. What I mean by “almost” is that after two great players : Källström (now playing for Lyon)and Isaksson (now at Manchester City), there were two not quite so great players that joined : Hansson and Edman.
Now, two good players might seem a bit of a […]

After a 3-0 win against Martigues in the Coupe de France, it was back to Ligue 1 and business as Marseille came to Brittany. In fact, it was exactly 364 days since Marseille had won 2-0 for the 20th match of Ligue 1 2006/07 at Rennes, with goals from Cissé (58′) and Maoulida (90′+2′), after […]

There’s no denying it, I loved Dréossi. He seemed to be a good manager, with an eye for talent young and old, an ability to develop rough gems into great players, and a great catalyst for group spirit. Well, All that can only keep you in the job for so long when you’ve only got […]

Hamburger SV might have one of the funniest names in professional football, but their squad is no laughing matter. Sitting on the last step of the Bundesliga podium, Huub Steven’s squad are hoping for a second win that would put them top of Group D, and probably qualify them for the next round of the […]
The Lyon’s share
By: Shazback | 1 Comment
Perhaps Lyon’s domination of Ligue 1 isn’t down to luck. Coming off a shock defeat against Marseille, I was hoping Rennes could pull off a good result against a side that looked friable. But with 4 defeats on the run, Wiltord probably wished for better circumstances to meet his orgy friends…
