We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

I’ve been doing this for over a year without a break and, now that we’ve got almost a full compliment of team blogs, I thought this was a good opportunity to correct that situation. So, I’m taking a quick sabbatical — meantime, the team bloggers will keep you up to date on everything and, if […]
Category: Serie AUdinese v Inter: Goalless
By: Martha | 12 Comments
When Cesar was went off in the 21st minute after two yellows in quick succession, it looked like it was going to be a long day for Inter, particularly since Udine had been the more threatening team even when it was 11 v 11. Instead, Inter turned in their first good defensive effort since Christmas […]
Samp v Siena: More Cassano
By: Martha | 10 Comments
The more consistently Antonio Cassano plays, the more I worry about the Azzurri. It seems increasingly likely to me that Roberto Donadoni will take him to the Euros, if only because the media and the public will explode noisily if he doesn’t, and he would probably rather not deal with that sort of doubt before […]
Coppa: In the Absence of Frey, There Will Be Goals
By: Martha | 3 Comments
(Notice that topical movie reference? Has anyone seen There Will Be Blood? Is it any good?) Sorry, I digress. Lazio’s 2-1 home win against Fiorentina was just what the Roman sided needed to keep a little hope in their season, and despite giving up a precious away goal, they’ll be relieved not to have given […]
WAG of the Week: Belen Rodriguez
By: Martha | 10 Comments
Belen Rodriguez shot to “fame” in Italy last year when it was revealed it was her STD meds that made boyfriend Marco Borriello test positive for steroids. Oops. Not to worry, though, apparently “skank” is hot, because not only are they still together, but word in the Italian gossip press is that Belen was on […]
News Round-Up As Donadoni Keeps Talking
By: Martha | 5 Comments
•In case you missed it, Atalanta beat Milan 2-1 yesterday despite, as often happens with Milan’s opponents, having much less of the ball, and the worse of the play. (La Gazzetta gave Pato a 4.5. Nico Burdisso, who was lasted less than eight minutes before being sent off for Inter, got a 5. Ouch.)
•Roberto Donadoni […]

Now 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-y than they were at the start of the week, […]
Coppa, Coppa, Coppa!

Both Roma and Inter went down to 10 men early in yesterday’s Coppa Italia matches, with Roma losing Philippe Mexes to his second yellow in the 19th minute and Inter losing the utterly useless Nico Burdisso to a straight red in the eighth. Both teams, however, survived with draws, and will head into their away […]
Bianchi’s Going to Lazio, That Bastard
By: Martha | 15 Comments
[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 details of a loan move to Lazio, even as we […]
Odds n Ends on a Quiet News Day

•A man who knows a good PR opportunity when he sees it, Dunga has called Pato into the Brazil team for a February 6 friendly against the Republic of Ireland. (Dunga also coaches Brazil’s national team, which goes a long way toward explaining Pato’s presence in the side, as well as that of nine other […]
