Palermo v. Juventus: Colantuono's Last Chance, Really This Time... I Swear
By roberto | April 3rd, 2008Tifosi Rosaneri don't tell me, let me guess. Colantuono's got some secret plan to beat us come Sunday. I mean, that's the reason why Zamparini hired him again, right? Well it's either that, or he persuaded your president for another chance afte ...
Juventus v. Serie A: Can we still win the scudetto?
By alessio | March 30th, 2008For those living under a rock, last weekend Juventus blew the Scudetto race wide-open with a beautiful 2-1 win over archrivals Inter. If anything, 2-1 flattered Inter....Del Boy was in phenomenal form but just wasn't finishing well. The question now ...

Palm Sunday Victory & Wednesday Night Ashes Before Saturday's Derby d'Italia Clashes
By roberto | March 21st, 2008An 87th minute strike from Vincenzo Iaquinta gave Juventus the victory against Napoli by way of a heavenly first-touch. My goodness I'm obsessed with first-touches now more then ever. Can someone tell me if there's anything more fundamentally important to

Dal 1900 - Padroni di Roma
By salvatore | March 20th, 2008I was going to post a series of videos breaking down the Derby victory, but I think this clip pretty much sums it up: SCUDETTO GAME OVER. Che vinca, che perda, la Rioma resta merda. P.S. Click here for some Guidone goodness.
Juventus v. Napoli: Preview & Notes
By roberto | March 16th, 2008First and foremost, apologies for the lack of general attention to the Old Lady blog. I've been overseas securing reserves for my new Cambodian breast milk venture. But now I'm back at home and ready to spit out some more of these posts. What great timing

Ranieri vs. Secco: Who Should Stay, Who Should Go?
By roberto | March 4th, 2008Buffon couldn't have said it any better. 'We are playing like shit all over the park'. Sure that's not a direct quote, but after watching last Sunday's performance you'd more then get the sense that he was on to something. But before we go any further, le
Roma-Parma, if we can learn anything from history, this will not end well
By Francesco | February 29th, 2008You see this picture? That's when it ended. "What ended?" you ask. Well, basically, Parma ever getting a result vs. Roma. On that hot summer day in Rome on June 17, 2001, Totti and Company came out to win the game. Why? Because if they won they would
Inter – Roma, Unconditional Calcio Love
By Marco | February 26th, 200838 games a season and it all comes down to this one! Inter - Roma La Liga’s big clashes manage to catch my eye but I can’t seem to get excited about the Ping Pong-ish style of The Premiership. (And don't get me started on the damn U
Fuck, A Review Without Many Words.
By roberto | February 5th, 2008Hit the showers Belardi, Buffon's back! (no pun intended) He's no where near exceptional, but at least Saliham's consistent. Lego had a game to forget. Make the next a game to remember! Grygera getting arrested for being dumb. WTF?
Sissoko & Stendardo Now, Mellberg In July, Tiago Still Retarded
By roberto | January 28th, 2008Reports out of Italy are confirming the signing the Momo Sissoko and Olef Mellberg this morning. Momo has apparently signed a contract for four and half seasons that will see him at Juventus until June of 2012. Liverpool will be given 11 million euros up
Coppa Italia Quaters, Plus Goodbye Tiago - Hello Sissoko!
By roberto | January 25th, 2008Fielding a starting eleven for this one was no easy task. Yet, you just knew with the atmosphere being what it has always been when these two teams get together, those who got the nod for either squad would be playing some spirited football. Or at least t
A Photo Tribute To Gianni Agnelli; The Greatest Juventino That Ever Lived
By roberto | January 25th, 2008Five years ago yesterday, L'avvocato passed away. His name was Gianni Agnelli and his legacy, within the hearts of every Bianconeri, will never die. With his family taking over the club in 1923, Gianni will forever be remembered as having steered his belo
Sampdoria Preview Plus: What The Shit Is Going On?
By roberto | January 18th, 2008Ranieri isn't a happy camper and well, neither are we. Us tifosi Bianconeri have in the last week seen some pretty distressing stuff. For starters, we witnessed a painfully submissive performance against Catania as our side ultimately seemed deserving of
Catania v Juventus: Preview
By roberto | January 11th, 2008I Bianconeri return to the second half of their Scudetto race this Saturday as they square off against Catania at the Stadio Massimino in Sicily. A trip that won't see them travel too far as Juventus wrapped up their winter vacation, i mean camp, in Malta
Happy Birthday Del Piero; Moves Into Second Place All-Time Appearances
By roberto | November 9th, 2007What more could you ask for as a career? Not much more if your Alessandro Del Piero that's for sure. 'Il Pinturicchio' turns 33 today two days before our game against Parma Sunday. Once again Alessandro will sport his very familiar (and slimming), white a
Week 34: Inter Party, Ranieri Shortlisted For Sainthood
By Martha | April 30th, 2007Despite the fact that there was a game to be played, Inter devoted yesterday's match to a Scudetto celebration featuring lots of kids and balloons (I guess that's how they do it in Milan). Poor Empoli -- who, you may recall, were once in a Champions Leagu
Inter v Empoli: Nerazzurri Kids Everywhere!
By Martha | April 29th, 2007What a weird freaking game this was. Because of the celebratory atmosphere, it felt more like a tribute match than an actual, competitive game that mattered a lot to at least one of the teams involved. I mean, I know people were playing hard and all, but
The Last Post on Inter's Title, I Swear
By Martha | April 23rd, 2007After carefully going through all the photos at Getty and the Inter website of the team's endless celebration last night, I've come to the conclusion that Dejan Stankovic really likes to party. Though he put some clothes on when he left the locker roo
Siena v Inter: Champions at Last!
By Martha | April 22nd, 2007The game itself was uninspiring (though we did find out Douglas Maicon's parents were trying to name him after Michael Douglas, only to be foiled by a careless hospital employee), and the win more a result of Siena failing to take their chances then I
No Crespo For Inter -- Not Tomorrow, At Least
By Martha | April 17th, 2007Hernan Crespo may not know where's going to be playing next season, but he knows where he won't be tomorrow: On the pitch with his team when Inter face Roma. After limping off during the first half of Sunday's draw with Palermo, Crespo has been diagnosed
Palermo v Newcastle, Or: UEFA Cup, USCHMEFA Cup
By Martha | November 3rd, 2006Here's what I think: Palermo are good. Inconsistent, but good. Newcastle are bad. Depressingly, laughably, horribly bad. (And yes, they're my favorite EPL team and have been for years, why do you ask?) Their shared UEFA Cup game yesterday, which I turned
