Olympique Lyonnais Cafe

March 10th, 2010

  • OK, going along with the other cafe's in the French forum, I decided to try out a Lyon thread. I had the fortune of attending a Lyon match (v. Liile) this fall on my honeymoon! So now I try to follow what I can but seeing that I am not a fluent french speaker, it is sometimes challening. So if you have any info, please post!

  • hello has to you all, I am to support of Lyon and I will hold you of all what this master key around my club, I do not speak very quite English but good... I espere to pass from good moment with vous!Bye :)


  • It's more like Café de l'Olympique Lyonnais.
    And i thought you were a frenchie Ganu. Busted ;)

    who said i was french.......lol!

    I've studied there for 2 years. and my grammar is for a better word - complete dog crap! I am from the north east of england! British and proud - mate.

    Ask anyone. Strangely enough i never have faults with my grammatical russian...... :confused: and that's rock solid! :mad:

    Any way you would say de l'....

    mainly because i forgot that you CAN consider Olympique as transcendent. And hence you would forgoe the fact that Olympique has the artcle at the beginning.

    What pisses me off is that I manage to get a level 2 on my French essay.... :rolleyes:

    Yet I still manage basic errors - and in English as well - it aint a strong point for me, I'm completly useless when it comes to grammar.....


  • Defender Claudio Cacapa suffered a serious knee injury and may be out the rest of the season. There was talk of Aulas getting rid of Nilmar because when Elber came back they would be over the limit of number of non EU players allowed. Now that Cacapa(Brazilian) is out they dont have to get rid of Nilmar. Wiltord was also taken off the pitch early due to injury during the 1-0 win over Strasbourg.


  • lol good luke to this wooden-thread and to your wooden-president Mr HoleAss :p and I am a hugfe ass
    :rolleyes:

    no problem **************, how's Marseille doing?


  • Sorry, it's not the accent you're missing. If you look at the badge you posted, you'll find it's Olympique Lyonnais, sans e.

    The accent is interchangable in english but not in french.

    Lyonnais is the adjective of Lyon......it would only become lyonnaise if it were agreeing with something in the feminine gender.

    hence olympique from lyon

    Café Lyonnaise would be more correct - however Café is masculine hence
    you say Café Lyonnais.

    Café Lyonnaise would be Coffee from Lyon.......lol :D

    you want to say - Café du Olympique Lyonnais


  • you want to say - Café du Olympique Lyonnais

    :D :D :D

  • I pretty much figured it would be like stabbing in the dark...unfortunately.

    Yes, I think I need that accent in the title. Damn.


  • =================================================

    right.......Looper if you want help on a new thread, then I will help you ok. I know a few misguided fools, who have the misfortune of supporting Lyon - namely my arch-nemesis blowup doll - Jerome - ow my ears! begone satan!

    ==================================================

    ^_^ - Osjecko Pivo.......mmmmmmmmm :p

    Nah, I'll fend for myself.


  • I'm the only American OL fan that I know of, but I can only watch them during the CL, thanks to Canal+. Some of our Canadian friends follow them, I think. I guess I can translate the match reports on the website, but they'd be a bit rough.


  • Here is the main man behind OL's success.

    Love him or hate him he IS is the greatest French club president we have today. Took a club in the 2nd division who had a modest budget and turned them into one of Europe's elite. The man deserves respect. All hail Jean-Michel Aulas ! Or as they call him in Monaco, "HoleAss" :-)

    lol are u franch ganu??
    hope you're not a frech teacher though!! :D :D
    just call this thread " le café de l'olympique lyonnais" in the frech way
    or " olympique lyonnais' coffe" in the english way


  • I'm not looking for semantics, just close the ********in' thread


  • How about instead of closing it you try to make it good by contributing as much info as you can. If there is an ASSE thread and no OL one then that is a shame and I'll tell you why. ASSE is a club thats resting on its laurels of the past. How many young people today(people under 30) who dont live in the city of St. Etienne itself are ASSE fans ? My guess is not too many. ASSE hasn't been good in a real long time which means a whole new generation of French football fans probably didnt grow up supporting them. Why because their are tons of bandwagon football fans out there and people love winners. Lyon's 3 straight titles have brought them a whole new generation of fans from all over the country while ASSE havent gained nearly as many fans in the last 15 years or so. They say that OL doesnt have many supporters outside the city of Lyon itself well I guarantee that if they keep playing like they have been, and they continue being a larger club, in less than 20 years from now OL will be more popular than ASSE and just as popular as PSG and OM all over the country. Right now their are young kids in towns all over France who are OL fans and give those kids time to grow and someday OL could be one of the top 3 most popular clubs in all of France. People love winners, they love the clubs who are performing well and that have the best players and OL is doing that in spades right now and thats why their fanbase is only gonna increase. This thread should remain open and someone who speaks French fluently who loves OL should keep it going.


  • Lyon has an English forum on it's superb website.

    I've already checked this, it blows...that's why I posted the thread here...

  • n1. ;)

    I'm not sure about the title though.

    I think all my mates will think that I'm racial stereotyping them......

    It WILL be hard for you to get info on them, if you don't speak French...trust me....

    En direct...c'est

    Istres 0-0 Lyon - mi temps........ :)

    I was thinking of whacking on a Monaco one.......something do with the Principality or something?

    Alas - the constraints of time are upon my withered soul..... :(
