The Noah Courier
Match4 Mar 2028
Still nobody has beaten Noah
The unbeaten run reaches 14. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Yan Eteki stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Yan Eteki and Noah agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Yan Eteki 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 Noah this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nobody could get near Imran Oulad Omar
Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Mkhitar Khachatryan comes home
The shirt still fits. Mkhitar Khachatryan is back at Noah, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Arman Hakobyan comes home
The shirt still fits. Arman Hakobyan is back at Noah, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

As if he never left: Petros Karapetyan returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Petros Karapetyan is a Noah player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Levon Karapetyan is a Noah player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Takuto Oshima shuts the door
Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
