Atalanta 3 - 2 Livorno ; The Fat Lady is getting Ready to Sing !

By Marco | May 5th, 2008

What a frustrating game !!! The only reason I’m not extremely pissed off right now is because we’re still mathematically in the running towards being Serie A next non-relegated team. Chances are looking crappy but it's still a possibi ...

Atalanta-Livorno, An Ode to Salvation

By Marco | May 3rd, 2008

By Marco | April 28th, 2008

By Marco | April 13th, 2008

Livorno - Cagliari, Battle of the Basement Boys

By Marco | April 12th, 2008

 Hi all ! Real life has been throwing me curveballs all week so this preview will not be as sexy as usual Basically it's a non-preview You can pretty much read Jeremy's assessment and just change his predicition to 1-0 Livorno. And he's ...

Livorno – Sampdoria , Monica Bellucci meets the Hills of Cypress

By Marco | April 5th, 2008

Livorno 1-1 Reggina, Not so Sexy Six Pointer

By Marco | March 21st, 2008

Erjon Bogdani managed to score against one of his old clubs but Livorno only garnered 1 measly point at home. This game was a strange one and I was split screened between Livorno and the Derby. Honestly it looked like Portugal vs Greece 2004. Livo

Livorno Lunedi Leftovers : Leave Lucarelli Alone

By Marco | March 17th, 2008

A packed Picchi Stadium saw Livorno draw a schizophrenic Parma team on Sunday. Livorno managed to open the score with a sweet strike from, of all people, Jose Vidigal. The Portuguese geezer smacked in a Tavano pass passed Parma keeper Bucchi to make it 1-

Lazio 2- 0 Livorno 1, Oh Crap !

By Marco | March 10th, 2008

* Instead of posting a photo of Lazio celebrations The fact is, losing to Lazio is awful. Any other team, it’s not that bad but to Mussolini’s favourite team, to hell with that. I’m pissed that the uglier Roman sister has managed to pick up a

Diamanti Are a Coach’s Best Friend

By Marco | March 2nd, 2008

So much for that 5-3 high octane prediction i had. The game was far from dull, especially in the 2nd half but it didn't deliver a boatload of goals like i was expecting. At least we bounced out of the bottom *Wondergoal at bottom of the post Livorn



Livorno – Catania in the Drop Zone, 17 certainties and Wesley Snipes

By Marco | March 1st, 2008

By Marco | February 25th, 2008

Livorno 1 - 1 Genoa, Tavano Eurogoal Not Enough

By Marco | February 11th, 2008

Livorno- Genoa *Highlights further down Genoa was down to 10 men for the last 15 minutes but even Francesco Tavano’s highlight reel worthy, 10th goal of the season wasn’t enough to see Livorno harvest all 3 points against Genoa. Livorno

Livorno signs Kerlon!? Oh, you mean Vailatti...

By Marco | February 4th, 2008

Mercato Round Up My heart started pumping around noon on January 31st because a Livorno fan website falsely announced that Livorno picked up Brazilian Future Star Kerlon a.k.a. Foquinha for a measly 7 M$. I hate the Showboating Seal Boy but

Juve – Livorno, Lunedì Leftovers

By Marco | January 28th, 2008

The Livorno Amaranto Liberation Army didn’t look Serie B-esqe this time out , but a mix of bad offside traps, a dash of David Trezeguet talent, a sending off, and lack of luck was too much to see Livorno snatch some points from the Zebras of the North

Livorno vs a Team from Torino that isn't Torino

By Marco | January 25th, 2008

* Maybe you've seen this image 420 times now, but i kind of like it, I'm sure Roberto LOVES it! Rubentus, i mean Juventus is coming to town! The northern Zebras are coming to the Picchi on Sunday, for once they'll feel right at home playing in a stadiu

Martedi Mercato Moves and Antonio Gramsci

By Marco | January 22nd, 2008

Livorno 1 – Empoli 0, Winning Without Convincing

By Marco | January 22nd, 2008

By Marco | January 19th, 2008

Communist Cristiano Lucarelli Back in Italy !

By Marco | January 15th, 2008

Tristan and Tavano Trounce Toothless Torino

By Marco | January 14th, 2008

The game in Torino started in a rather festive atmosphere with Urbano Cairo and Aldo Spinelli horsing around like the spoiled privileged millionaires that they are. Ex-Torinese, Giancarlo Camolese had an almost perfect return to the olimpico, in front of

By Marco | January 9th, 2008

Midseason Assessment, Audio Visual Style!

By Marco | January 9th, 2008

Even if Livorno will be put up for sale soon, that Barcelona have found a second Goalkeeper already, Lucarelli is still for sale and the amazing news that Adrian Pit might come in and save us from relegation it's a slow news day... After the midseason
