Chi Non Salta E' Catanese!
By lorenzo | April 9th, 2008Steven will be posting a preview for this weekend's upcoming derby in the near future. In the mean time, I thought it'd be nice to get ourselves a little more "emotionally" prepared for the match ahead against the ugly cousins from across the island. ...
Fiorentina v Torino: Penalty Mania
By Martha | January 19th, 2008Not a pretty match, by any stretch of the imagination. To the surprise of even themselves, Toro came out flying, and put pressure on Fiorentina's penalty area before the home side could even get hold of the ball. David Di Michele looked lively at the star
Torino Vs Livorno Preview as Camolese Returns To Toro
By Marco | January 12th, 2008On January 13th 1968 , Johnny Cash recorded his landmark album At Folsom Prison live, 40 years later ; Livorno will be traveling to the Olimpico in Turin to take on Torino. After a nice long (too long if you ask Aldo Spinelli) winter break, Serie
Milan v Torino: More Booing
By Martha | November 3rd, 2007Once again, Milan fail to score at home and, once again, despite vocal support during the match, the Curva did their share of whistling when the game ended. To be fair, though, not giving up any goals should probably be seen as progress, even to a team wi
Week 7, Or: Holy Crap, Gila Lives!
By Martha | October 8th, 2007This week's big story, clearly, is Milan's goal-plosion, led by Ricky Kaka and Alberto Gilardino (Wonder how Super Pippo feels about this), who is suddenly back on the top of his game, scoring goals, diving to draw PKs, and getting carded for simulation.
Serious Injury Woes for Torino, Roma (And Chievo)
By Martha | October 3rd, 2007There's terrible news for Roma this morning: Alberto Aquilani is expected to be out for two months with a partially torn quadriceps muscle. Having just recovered from an injury in order to be fit for the Man U match, he was stretched off the pitch yesterd
A Couple Slightly Massive Games For Our Viewing Pleasure
By Martha | September 28th, 2007First and most importantly, we have the proverbial top-of-the-table clash between Inter, AKA The Team Without Any Defenders, and Roma, AKA The Team That Plays the Pretty Football. Totti is back for Roma, though Alberto Aquilani is unlikely to figure, whic
Palermo v Torino: That'll Do
By Martha | September 16th, 2007People, for a team full of washed-up old men, Torino are awfully good. Despite having a ludicrously shaky defense, they're tough as nails and damn hard to play against. Palermo have been rampant so far this season, even when they were losing to Roma, but
Corini Going Back to Palermo; Zaccardo Wants Him to Stay
By Martha | September 14th, 2007Normally there'd be little interest in Torino's trip to Palermo on Sunday (and I'll admit that I might be the only one who cares, even now), but since the visit will mark the return of Eugenio Corini to the team he was a big part of bringing back to Serie
Lazio v Torino: That Rosina Guy, He's Not Bad
By Martha | August 25th, 2007First, and most importantly: This game featured a female announcer on RAI and a female linesman. And the latter was wearing shorts, not the horrible skort they used to have to wear! Mark my words, kids are lining up for sleigh rides in hell today. Movi
Odds and Ends of Probably Untrue News
By Martha | June 18th, 2007•This one is true: Eugenio Corini has signed a one-year contract with Torino for which he'll reportedly earn about €500,000. Huzzah! While it would have been sparkley and glamorous for the old man to turn up at Roma, signing with Torino means he'll be
Barzagli in Battle With the Man
By Martha | June 16th, 2007Remember the sudden change of direction for Andrea Barzagli earlier this week? He seemed destined for Fiorentina, only to turn around and start trudging towards Juve, with no explanation for the change of plan. Well, though Barzagli himself is still on
Roma Adding A Gladiator
By Chris | June 15th, 2007Hallelujah! Finally, a contract being signed not involving someone in the Swiss Second Divison. Ahmed Barusso, finally passed his medicals and will become Roma property. Most medicals are simply a formality; however, Barusso's was not. He broke his l
Ah, Finally: A Big, Foreign Quagliarella Bid! (Also: Corini to Roma?)
By Martha | June 14th, 2007The same day we're told Fabio Quagliarella would rather "prove himself" at Sampdoria than flee for greener pastures the moment he and scores a brace for the Azzurri, the British press revealed that a £10 million bid for the striker is in the works at Man
Changes in Palermo
By Giuseppe | June 11th, 2007Palermo have made some roster changes. They have basically OUSTED Corini...which I think is complete BULLSHIT. AC Milan have the respect to keep Maldini on roster because he is part of the teams spirit and he is still an able footballer, Corini is not onl
News Roundup of Randomness and Azzurrini Sadness
By Martha | June 11th, 2007•First and foremost on the random train in the rumor that Roma are interested in cast-off Palermo deity Eugenio Corini. According to reports in Italy, he's being seen as a possible alternative to David Pizarro, which I guess means the Chilean is on his
Dig Out the Black Bunting: Corini is Leaving Palermo
By Martha | June 8th, 2007From the moment the season ended, Crazyass Maurizio Zamparini has been talking smack about The Great Eugenio Corini, sternly telling the press that if the midfielder -- whose contact expired this month -- wanted to stay around, he'd be signing a contr
Week 38: And That's a Wrap
By Martha | May 28th, 2007With the top of the table and European qualification decided last weekend, all eyes this week were on the five teams still not safe from the drop. Ascoli and Messina were already in Serie B though to their credit both played their hearts out yesterday, wi
Palermo v Siena: Finally!
By Martha | May 20th, 2007So, it turns out all Zamparini had to do to get his team to play again was to fire Guidolini and then rehire him three weeks later. Of course! Why didn't we think of this before? The season could have been a lot less frustrating had he just done that in D
Guidolin Not Exactly Missed in Palermo
By Martha | April 26th, 2007Apart from my one and only Luis Figo, there are only a handful of others on my list of favorite footballers: Dejan Stankovic. Rino Gattuso. Eugenio Corini. One of the reasons I like this little crew is because (again, apart from Figo, who does like to whi
A Corini Petition? Why Didn't I Think of That?
By Martha | April 12th, 2007Gaspare Anitra, a wise and just Palermo fan, has decided he's not going to wait any longer for the club to wake up and re-sign midfielders Eugenio Corini and Giovanni Tedesco. Instead, he's taking matters into his own hands and has put together a petition
Friday News Round-Up: No One is Going Anywhere
By Martha | April 6th, 2007•According to the PR wizards at Milan, their beloved Alberto Gilardino is not going anywhere the summer. Despite the fact that he rarely hits the broadside of a barn these days, he's still the team's leading scorer and, even though Herr Berlusconi left
Palermo v Milan: Football, Making a Long Week Much, Much Better
By Martha | February 28th, 2007That was one of those thrilling 0-0 games that football-haters refuse to believe actually exist: Despite ending scoreless, it was full of end-to-end attacking play, little explosions of skill, and great defending (most of the time). Just an incredible ple
Atalanta v Palermo: Well, That's Better!
By Martha | February 25th, 2007Apart from the first ten minutes during which Atlanta seemed likely to score about 14 goals, Palermo finally regained some poise and unity this week, leading fans everywhere to yell both "Woo hoo!" and "What the hell took you so long?!" Granted, it was
A Quick News Round-Up as You do Your Duty as an American and Think About William Howard Taft
By Martha | February 19th, 2007•Did you see the blood pouring out of Eugenio Corini's nose yesterday, during Palermo's dismal draw with Chievo? Well it turns out the thing was broken, not just bloody. Not to worry, though. Everyone's favorite Russian-looking midfielder had surgery to
Holidays Mean No Internet. (And Some Adriano.)
By Martha | December 21st, 2006(You know what I just realized? Mancini plays Adriano because he hates him, and wants him to be humiliated. Seriously -- there's no other explanation. The man is not going to get fit playing in 30 minutes spurts, particularly in 30 minutes spent standin
Palermo Go Out of Europe, Dammit.
By Martha | December 14th, 2006Despite the fact that it's for the best if they want to keep feeding that Scudetto dream, it's still sad that Palermo's European run is officially over. (And, to make matter worse, Newcastle won the group. Newcastle! The team that, in my years as a fan, h
Palermo v Livorno: Crisis? What Crisis?
By Martha | December 9th, 2006That noise you heard earlier this afternoon, friends, was a collective sigh of relief escaping the lungs of Palermo fans. After a couple of bad weeks, capped by an utterly dreadful, selfish performance against Parma last weekend, the lads in pink rediscov
More on That Unmentionable Match in Parma
By Martha | December 4th, 2006I don't know about you, but sleeping on it didn't help me -- I'm still incredibly depressed by the memory of Palermo's performance yesterday, and completely befuddled by all the "We're deeply satisfied with a point" nonsense team officials are spewing
Dammit, Palermo. Win a Freaking Game Already.
By Martha | December 1st, 2006Alright, I'm officially worried: Just as Milan start to win, Palermo start to lose. Could it be that the world had (miraculously, gloriously) tilted on its axis, and has now been righted? Fingers crossed it's just some sort of blip, but it's hard not to b
