A weekend of matches nuls, as they'd say here. Score draw on the weather front - beautiful sunny Saturday, followed by cloud and rain on Sunday. We took advantage of the good weather on Saturday afternoon with a walk down the river to the park, though then spoilt it somewhat by spending two hours indoors in a bar in the Cité Internationale watching a real match nul. No joy, no goals, no break in the dismal sequence of nil-nils. We had intended to go and watch the film that won all the Oscars, but after an early dinner decided instead to spend the evening in the comforting confines of home.
A Sunday of minor chores was ended with a trip to Gerland in the pouring rain. Equally dire match nul, though we did get to see two goals, the last one coming at the wrong end in second half injury time. A blow to OL's hitherto serene progress at the top and the lead is down to four points. And star striker Benzema went off with a bruised hip to end a somewhat nul week for him, after reportedly having a shouting match with team mates in the dressing room at half time of the game against Barca. Apparently he'd been playing too selfishly. Trying too hard to display his talents in the Champions League shop window no doubt...
