Marked for Arthur Bada

22 Edition

The JS Kabylie Chronicle

28 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Both of them Aimen Mahious's — 8.70

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.70, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match28 Dec 2026

JS Kabylie up to position 3

28 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Arthur Bada: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” JS Kabylie have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Age has not caught Ryad Boudebouz yet — 7.81

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.81 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Aly Abeid goes up and wins it — 7.94

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.94 for the rest of it.

Match26 Dec 2026

7 unbeaten for JS Kabylie

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation JS Kabylie did not have in the autumn.

Match26 Dec 2026

6 goals as JS Kabylie and MC Oran go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between JS Kabylie and MC Oran, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match26 Dec 2026

JS Kabylie get the job done against MC Oran

A 4‑2 win over MC Oran, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at JS Kabylie

Aly Abeid and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match5 Dec 2026

JS Kabylie tear ASO Chlef apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against ASO Chlef, and it could have been more.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Aimen Mahious scores twice — 8.63

Two goals and a mark of 8.63 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Vintage Ryad Boudebouz — 8.16

At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.16, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A falling-out at JS Kabylie

Mohamed Réda Hamidi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Arthur Bada stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Arthur Bada and JS Kabylie agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words at JS Kabylie training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jaredi Teixeira is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Akim Zedadka makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Faouzi Mrezigue, on a 3‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Christopher Samangwa

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Akim Zedadka beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Mohamed Réda Hamidi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at JS Kabylie this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Billal Messaoudi was the difference for JS Kabylie

Marked 7.61. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Arthur Bada

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match28 Nov 2026

JS Kabylie and JS Saoura take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Faouzi Mrezigue: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Ahmed Mammeri

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

When it matters, Oualid Malki plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A first senior shirt for Rayan Amari

Every debut is a small story about the future: Rayan Amari, 20 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Match21 Nov 2026

Ryad Boudebouz leads the rout of MB Rouissat

5‑0, and Ryad Boudebouz took the headlines on an afternoon when everything JS Kabylie tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

A brace, and Aimen Mahious takes the afternoon — 8.64

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Aimen Mahious provided it, and the 8.64 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Ryad Boudebouz scores twice — 8.43

Two goals and a mark of 8.43 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at JS Kabylie

Mohamed Réda Hamidi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Abdennour Iheb Belhocini was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.17. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Ninety minutes of Akim Zedadka at his very best

Marked 8.15. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at JS Kabylie.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Reda Benchaa gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Loan watch23 Nov 2026

Seif Benrabah wants to come home

“I did not go to USM Khenchela to sit and watch. I want to come back to JS Kabylie and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

A satisfied Faouzi Mrezigue

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 5‑0, Faouzi Mrezigue could afford to be generous.
