http://asse.theoffside.com News from Saint-Étienne French football team Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:02:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en According to Le Parisien it's possible (although, admittedly, they also go on to say that it has little chance of coming to fruitrition). The former Rennais & France U-21 international would fit in incredibly well at Saint Etienne, and it seems there is room for him. Who knows? Let's file this under hopefully, ... http://asse.theoffside.com/team-news/yoann-gourcuff-at-saint-etienne.html Lens is fignting to stay in the top-flight, so this shouldn't be that much of a challange on paper, but Lens is always tough, and they have a better away record than we do. PSG fans should be pulling for us too. You should be able to see the game here. If ... http://asse.theoffside.com/team-news/asse-lens-delayed-match.html Great news; Saturday, Saint-Etienne played the 31st match of the season (it's important to note that both Saint Etienne & Lens are a game behind) against a powerful Le Mans team. Former Liverpool striker Anthony Le Tallec put Le Mans ahead in the 32nd minute with a lucky goal. Midfielder Geoffrey ... http://asse.theoffside.com/team-news/saint-etienne-4-le-mans-1.html I just read this article online about Mourinho signing today to manage Saint Etienne next season.

Janot (who has been out for over two months with a shoulder injury) is back, and played the entire first half in our friendly against the ... http://asse.theoffside.com/team-news/no-game-no-gain.html Well, let me start off by saying that I was wrong. Totally wrong. Pedretti played (initial reports were that he'd be out) More importantly though, we scored four goals! (albeit, the first one was in our own net) Pascal Feindouno had an incredible game (I counted seven chances) and was rewarded with an 81' ... http://asse.theoffside.com/team-news/auxerre-1-asse-3-and-our-european-chances.html So we play Auxerre (away) this weekend. Bad News First: We have yet to beat Auxerre this season, despite this being the fourth time we play them. We lost 1-0 away in the Coupe de la Ligue back in September, tied at home in in a league match in October, and lost ... http://asse.theoffside.com/team-news/auxerre-saint-etienne-preview.html OK first of all, I guess I should introduce myself; I'm Richard St.Ofle, I'm an artist, designer and an obsessive football fan. I'll be writing the Saint-Étienne blog (yeah, I know -- I'm coming in late in the season). I have my own site here. Anyway, despite having lived in Paris ... http://asse.theoffside.com/team-news/introduction.html
