Torino v Juventus: Typical Trezeguet
By: Martha |Man, what an absolutely brutal loss for Torino. While they never looked likely to win, Toro fought Juve to a stalemate for 93 minutes and were certainly worth a draw. It wasn’t to be, though, and you could tell trouble was on the horizon when, in the 80th minute, Juve’s big three — who had […]
Milan v Catania: Oh Dear
By: Martha |Anyone watching today’s match could tell Milan are a much better team than Catania, but the Rossoneri just cannot put the ball on net, and Catania made them pay with one great counter and a lot of toughness.
Catania actually looked great in the first half — Milan dominated possession, but the Sicilian club put so […]
Roma v Inter: Holy Crap
By: Martha |It’s amazing what playing against 10 men for over an hour will do for a team’s confidence, huh? Inter were on the stroll for most of the second half, locking the game down with three quick goals after Simone Perotta drew Roma level (off a lovely assist from the ever-generous Maxwell), and stroking the ball […]
A Couple Slightly Massive Games For Our Viewing Pleasure
By: Martha |First 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, which is a small mercy for Inter. Inter, meanwhile, are falling apart at the seams: […]
The Don Speaks
By: Martha |Apart from when he sagely announced that it could be “a problem” for Antonio Di Natale if the striker didn’t leave Udinese (Seriously? What, he wouldn’t take an actual, productive striker because he wasn’t playing in Europe? Give me a break.) for a bigger club, Roberto Donadoni has been quiet lately, just glorying in the […]
Hernan Hearts Jose
By: Martha |In a wide-ranging interview with Sky Italia yesterday, Inter’s Hernan Crespo very wisely said something along the lines of “HELL YEAH!” when he was asked about the prospect of Jose Mourinho moving to Italy.
Still technically a Chelsea player, the Argentine obviously has some experience with The Special One and, despite his unhappiness during this time […]
WAG of the Week: Daniela Cicarelli (Take Two)
By: Martha |For those of you not up on such things, Daniela Cicarelli — she was around here once before — was once engaged (and sort of married) to Ronaldo, but she’s famous almost entirely for sex she was taped having on a beach with her banker boyfriend. The thing turned up on YouTube and everywhere […]
Thursday Odds and Ends as We Shake Our Heads in Disapproval
By: Martha |•Luca Toni continues to completely own the Bundesliga, scoring his fifth goal over the weekend, while wee Giuseppe Rossi scored one and setting up another in about 20 minutes for Villareal, both of them leaving us wondering what would have happened if they’d stayed home. (And no, I don’t mean New Jersey in Rossi’s case.)
•Crowd […]
Let’s All Blame the Referees!
By: Martha |For though of you who were blissfully unaware of the terrible injustices that took place yesterday, Rodrigo Taddei and Carlo Ancelotti want everyone to know that Roma and Milan didn’t get full points because of the GOD DAMN REFEREES. Yes, that’s reasonable. I mean, dropped points are very rarely the fault of the people on […]
Week 5: Made of Awesome*
By: Martha |One fantastic game this round, and a couple great results for teams with lofty ambitions. The Fiorentina-Roma match was complete insane and a great pleasure to watch (different and more nervy than Roma-Palermo, but an equally worthy advertisement for Serie A), and the draw, combined with Inter’s very welcome thrashing of Sampdoria, left Inter […]
