Olympique Lyonnais vs AS Monaco 03222026

PRE MATCH

The return of Grief in goal is an improvement. The return of Sulc, the most dangerous attacker and best connecter in attack is vital. I am hoping Fofana can come off the bench. Ideally at some point this season Fofana/Moreira on one side, Endrick/ Karabec on the other and Sulc in the middle can play.

MATCH THOUGHTS

POST MATCH

Started well, sharp, engaged, led for most of the match... got tired in the second half. A bunch of ref choices that went against but from february to now has been a mini season to forget. At the end of the day, it is up to OL to focus on the next game. Angers is next then Lorient so... must win both but beyond that, the one game a week will allow players better refreshing.

I finally asked for my silkworm cocoons at museum collections service, my dudes!

My collegues: ''Oh, why do you need it?''

My soul: "These are offerings for Athena, may be Circé and probably to try magical things or spirit communication, and a perfect symbol of the land''

My real answer: ''I love nature curios!''

No seriously, this exhibition about silk workers in Lyon at the beginning of the century is a blessing.

My city, beside of the Lion ( which is not an original symbol of Lyon ('' Lugh-On'') was famous for silk work at Renaissance, under impulse of Napoléon, and also for the roses culture. we even have a suspended garden at work, based on vegetal symbolism of the XVIth, that's why I would love work with roses and offer it more often.

The origin of the name Lugdunum is not very clear. Some says it means Hill of Lugh, gaulish god of light and crafts, or Hill of the Light, but romans thought it meant ''Hill of the crows'' cause they saw crows when they founded the city.

And this hill, we call today Fourvière was probably the temple of the Juno-Jupiter-Mercury triad (i'm not sure) archeologists believed for a long time it was a sanctuaire for Cybele, but others disagree! Today, it's still connected to light, la Basilique de Fourvière, consecrated to Mary the Virgin. She was prayed for healing the plague, and Lyonnais celebrate it 8th december by lightning candles everywhere with Big light shows in the street.

Oh and I haven't even spoken of the legends ..we have a beautiful Park, Parc de la Tête d'or (''golden head'' of a legendary statue of Christ hidden in the Park), we have a dragon in the river, the Mâchecroute, and an Island with legends about the SangGraal & lavandières de la nuit, female ghosts washing the clothes of the dead in the river.

We have a White Lady, la Dame Blanche de la Croix Rousse. Lyon is also the city of Spiritisme and a true base of Freemasonry since the XVIIth.

We also have the famous Johan of Arc room for mediumship, and i can't continue it would be too long. (Nostradamus, devil worship, werewolves, heretical sects, cérémonial Magic, tempestari, catacombs and incredible tunnels, chapel of Saint-Expedite...)

Cool, isnt it?

( OH FUCK WAIT I DIDNT REALIZED...Loa Ghede Spider behind, must be pretty happy, Hello you! 😯 🕸️🕷️)
