Looks Like One More Year For Paolo Maldini
By chris | May 14th, 2008It's been a rough week for the Milanisti, with their disastrous performance in Napoli having an equally disastrous effect on their Champions League hopes. Now sitting in 5th, they will pin their hopes on Torino, who, unfortunately, are not all that g ...
Napoli 3 - Milan 1
By Gianfranco | May 12th, 2008"Gyorgy Garics got it in stoppages, totally unmarked to volley in a Mannini cross from the left, as Milan had stopped playing some time ago." That sentence alone truly sums up the way I feel about the game on Sunday. What is there to say when you ...
Serie A Week 37 Review
By Francesco | May 12th, 2008Week 37 turned out to be a very interesting round of Serie A. It was filled with some much joy and so much drama. Inter, as we know by know, did not win the Scudetto. The 2-2 draw at home was not enough for the Nerazzurri to claim the title. Roma ...

Time for Trip to the Motherland
By Gianfranco | May 9th, 2008This weekend the Rossoneri travel to an old time foe, which still holds a place in my heart, after all I am Napolitano. Place in my heart or not, I don’t care about anything but a Milan victory this weekend, because with the way the table stan ...

Loss to Juve, didn't expect much anyway.
By Francesco | April 17th, 2008Parma lost to Juventus 3-0, but it was a game that the Gialloblu' were not really expecting much anyway. The Coop decided that this game was a good time to play some subs, and give the starters a rest. Realistically Parma were never going ...

By Ted | March 20th, 2008Today in Naples Napoli defeated Fiorentina 2-0 behind a brace by Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi. While the day was not as bad as it could have been (Milan lost as well, which I will get to in a moment) it must be reflected on as nothing more than a w
Fiorentina v. Napoli: Preview
By Ted | March 18th, 2008Have you ever noticed how many people like Napoli? I don’t mean that they are necessarily fans of the team. I don’t think Napoli has any more fans than anyone else, and they almost certainly have fewer fans than the giant clubs. I guess what I mean
