According to my friend Google, “Nuovo anno felice” is how you say “Happy New Year” in Italian. Needless to say, it probably actually translates to “New Women Faithful” or something, but you know what I mean. I’m about to hit the road again and will be away from the internets until sometime Sunday — and, [...]

The Most Boring Transfer Rumors Ever
By: Martha | 1 Comment
Don’t get me wrong — you know I’m all about transfer rumors. Today’s collection, though, is bland enough to put even the most devoted Serie A-watcher to sleep. So, in an effort to avoid kicking off a massive wave of narcolepsy, I’m collecting them all here, as briefly as possible, so you can skim and [...]

You know it’s a slow news day when a story about Rino Gattuso and crayfish is a)written, and b)reported on in detail here. There’s very little going on in Italian football news today — and even less, apparently, happening in Scotland. And, since neither Gattuso nor Rangers fans have ever really gotten over their short, [...]

•If Corriere dello Sport is to be believed, we should add the perpetually unsettled Franck Ribery to the novel-length list of Juve transfer targets. Though the paper insists Didier Deschamps is currently engaged in talks to bring the player to Turin, the fact that Ribery has been linked with pretty much every club under the [...]
Cassano Moving Closer to Milan (or Not)
By: Martha | 1 Comment
Word from Spain is that, as rumored earlier this week, Antonio Cassano will be fleeing Madrid for the red side of Milan in the next few weeks. Though the move will initially be a loan, it’s apparently understood that, assuming Cassano doesn’t piss too many people off, he will be bought by Milan for about [...]

By: Martha | No Comments
Having finally offloaded their dead Portuguese weight that insisted on making goals every time he was allowed on the pitch (ahem), Inter are already looking for a replacement, playmaking midfielder, and they’ve got their eye on a world champion. According to this morning’s La Gazetta dello Sport, the Milan club are hot on the trail [...]
Oh, Those Wacky Spaniards

Spanish newspaper Marca appeared on newsstands with a shocking headline this morning: The votes for the FIFA World Player of the Year were miscounted and Zidane actually won, beating out both Ronaldinho and the man who was wrongly handed the trophy, wor Fabio Cannavaro. According to the paper, a second ceremony will be held this [...]
Figo Watch, Day Two, Part Two: The Deed is Done
By: Martha | 5 Comments
Just a few hours after assuring myself and all of you that maybe, just maybe, Figo wasn’t going anywhere, it’s now being reported that the deed is done — and, sadly, the words “allegedly” and “anonymous sources” are no longer anywhere to be found. The Portuguese press, which broke the story yesterday, is again leading [...]
Figo Watch, Day Two
By: Martha | No Comments
I’ve been busy shaking out my mourning clothes and ironing the black bunting for the site, but since yesterday morning there really hasn’t been any change to the Figo-to-Saudia-Arabia-Shock! story. It’s appeared in an increasing number of actual reliable sources, though, which is alarming in and of itself. After all, the BBC gets duped less [...]

•Francesco Totti, whose current contract doesn’t run out until 2011, is already talking about a three year extension which would see him ending his career at Roma in 2014. After that? He’d like to stay with the club that made him the man he is — playing elsewhere, he says, he would not have been [...]
