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 ...

The Serie A Coaching Carousel Continues
By chris | April 16th, 2008A few months back Arsene Wenger was bemoaning the quick trigger fingers on board rooms across the Premiership, eagerly text messaging pink slips as though they were firing t-shirts out of a cannon. Arsene was right about the quick hook shown to manag ...
Weekend in Review: Week 31
By chris | March 30th, 2008Mancio decided to eschew tactical concerns during Saturday's game in favor of making shadow puppets and/or scary faces. I'm busy packing for an early flight, so here's your one sentence wrap up for each Serie A weekend game. (The team blogs are mo ...

By chris | March 24th, 2008Inter v Juventus: Bigger match review here. Roma 2 - Empoli 1: On a day when the real Alessandro del Piero looked like magic but couldn't finish, Sebastian Giovinco did the same, though he managed to slot home a gimme on a wide open counter. Christian

WIR: The Meat In The Calcio Sandwich
By chris | March 17th, 2008UEFA Cup Spot(s) Sampdoria 3 - Catania 1: If you missed the train/bus, and didn't show up til the hour mark, you were totally cool, because the fireworks didn't start until the 68th. Four goals in the final 22, and you don't have to look at the scoreli
News Not Involving Inter
By chris | March 14th, 2008Because it's been their week. Move aside. • A real coaching vacancy was filled. The Cupernator made his illustrious return to the peninsula this weekend to fill in for Mimmo Di Carlo and fight the good fight. Like Claudio Ranieri last year (maybe the
Week 27: 71.1% There And Loving It
By chris | March 10th, 2008Well, not so much if you're Roberto Stellone. Move that ass, Moris. Figure it's getting to about that point in the season..... Top O' The Table: Status quo. Three fairly comfortable 2-0 victories along with Francesco Totti and David Trezeguet goals and
The Final Nail In Antonio Cassano's Azzurri Coffin
By chris | March 2nd, 2008Whaddya know, another goal, another meltdown from Antonio Cassano - proving he's just as boiling hot and icy cold as ever. Talentino started the meltdown off in splendid fashion by scoring his 3,147th goal in the last month (or so it seems). Then he kicke
Torino-Parma, a Tale of Two Halves
By Francesco | February 24th, 2008In what was most definitely the most action packed Serie A game of the year, Torino and Parma fought to a 4-4 draw (who says there are no goals in Serie A games!) after Parma had scored 4 goals in the first half. However, this was very much a Tale of
Pfft, Regular Day At The Office
By chris | February 24th, 2008If you saw either of these results coming, I would like tomorrow's lottery numbers, please. Torino 4 - Parma 4: First of all, a big ole fuck you to the people at whatever streaming channel decided to show some British crap as opposed to this game, thou

By Francesco | February 22nd, 2008So tomorrow the Gialloblu' travel to the Stadio Olimpico in Torino and take on the Granata in a relegation battle. Parma need points and need to get back on a positive run, while Torino have just been inconsistent all season, and are the draw speciali
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
By chris | February 17th, 2008I promise not all weekend posts will reference classic songs. Some, not all. While it's nice to see all the big fellas get their Saturday in the sun, it's leaves much to be desired on Sunday, when The Other Sixteen get to dust off their booties and kic
Livorno signs Kerlon!? Oh, you mean Vailatti...
By Marco | February 4th, 2008Mercato 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
Fallout From the Bianchi Deal Affects Toro, Lazio
By Martha | January 24th, 2008Now that Rolando Bianchi is officially a Lazio player, the impact of the move is being felt in places other than the Lazio squad. In particular, Torino are still utterly desperate for anyone who can score a goal, while the Lazio coffers are even more echo
Bianchi's Going to Lazio, That Bastard
By Martha | January 23rd, 2008[I'm probably not going to be around for the rest of the day, but will be back with Coppa news and buckets of rumors tomorrow.] It's all over the mercato sections of the Italian sports media this morning that Rolando Bianchi is working out the final de
Inter Aren't Talking, But Collina Is
By Martha | January 22nd, 2008Feeling terribly picked-on by the media frenzy surrounding his team's win on Sunday, Inter bigwig Massimo Moratti indignantly refused to talk to the press yesterday. And, now, it seems, Roberto Mancini has got into the act, canceling his press conference
Week 19: Penalties and Controversy
By Martha | January 21st, 2008In a match shrouded by thick fog and whole lot of controversy, Inter salvaged three points from Parma in order to stay seven clear of Roma, who beat Catania by a 2-0 scoreline that really flattered the Sicilian club. Juve, meanwhile, slipped for the secon
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
Toro Desperately Chasing Bianchi
By Martha | January 18th, 2008Not only can Torino not score any goals, but they're having injury problems with the few people they have who can offer some hope. Alessandro Rosina has been in poor (for him) form most of the season and hasn't played in weeks, and Nicola Ventola quietly
Coppa Wrap as Totti Scores, Lazio Survive and Milan Go Home
By Martha | January 18th, 2008[Sorry about the radio silence yesterday -- The Offside unexpectedly switched servers, which left a lot of us seeing error messages all day. I wrote most of this then, in between clicking "refresh" every 30 minutes.] The order of Coppa Italia things wa
Torino Vs Livorno Preview as Camolese Returns To Toro

Week 18: T-Minus 27 Hours
By Martha | January 11th, 2008How long has it been since the last match? A month? Six weeks? Longer? Normalcy is finally returning the weekend, and we'll no longer have to find ways to entertain ourselves like normal people rather than watching football on TV. Whether we like it or
A News Roundup of a (No Longer) Reasonable Size
By Martha | January 10th, 2008•The rumor mill tells us that Milan are planning a meeting with Emre's agent today. The Turk -- an ex-Inter player, you may recall -- is a reasonable man and therefore wants out of Newcastle, and Carlo Ancelotti is supposedly a big fan, Inter past notwi
Two Strikers Desperate to Move
By Martha | January 10th, 2008As of this morning, Christian Riganò is still in Spain. He's stuck on the bottom of La Liga with the hapless Levante -- nine points behind their nearest rivals with a goal difference of -22, twice that of the next-worst -- losing week after week, and not
