Things We Learned & Hope To Learn From Serie A

Things We Learned last Weekend In Serie A
Cesare Prandelli is sexified.
Look at that outfit. Purple on purple. Who the hell can pull that off besides Cesare? Nobody. That’s who.
Now, if only he could bestow some of that superior fashion knowledge on Papa Waigo and his mankini we’d be all set.
(I stole Marco’s pic.)
David Pizarro and […]

Goals of the Week

By: chris | 9 Comments

Stefano Morrone had this thing locked up until Marco Borriello decided to stick his nose into things. There are fillers, four of which came from two games (take a wild guess which ones), but it’s down to these two.
(Oh, and there’s an “Other” choice for anyone who wants to vote for Del Piero’s goal this […]

Putting On Your Sunday Finest

By: chris | 8 Comments

Cagliari 1 - Lazio 0: You can’t root against Cagliari. They have a […]

If 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, though initially scheduled. I was pissed going in, livid going […]

Arsenal v Milan: Lucky Lucky

By: chris | 15 Comments

Arsenal 0 - Milan 0:
The Rossoneri should count their lucky stars they were able to take a stalemate from the Emirates back to Milan tonight. Emmanuel Adebayor missed the sitter of all sitters in the dying seconds by heading a ball off the woodwork when he had a full goal open from within the 6 […]

Milan Take On The Gunners

By: chris | 2 Comments

Arsenal v Milan:
First of all, a sigh of relief for all the Rossoneri faithful: Zeljko Kalac will be playing. (The fact that Kalac playing requires a sigh of relief is kinda funny, you’ve got to admit.) Which means Valerio Fiore, he of two appearances with the club in eight years, will only be on the […]

Champions League Review: One For Two

By: chris | 7 Comments

One Italian team did well, one not so much.

Roma v Real Madrid: Raul’s early deflection was canceled out by another deflection by David Pizarro to take things even throughout the first half. Real had the bulk of possession, and Roma had to spend time bouncing the ball back out. Excuse me, Daniele De Rossi had […]

Time For A Taste Of Europe

By: chris | 6 Comments

Two of the three remaining representatives of Italy are going to be spending their Tuesdays battling away in some big time European action. Inter is travelling to Anfield for a first leg against Rafa’s Spanish Armada while Roma host Real Madrid at the Stadio Olimpico. And no matter how you feel about either team, fact […]

I’ve stolen this from Sam at the France Offside and nearly every other weekly wrap up show in existence. I’ll give 3-5 goals of the week and you vote for the winner down below. Got it? Cool.

The Link (Sebastian Giovinco & Nicola Pozzi)
Now that’s a pretty pass.

The Weekend In Review

By: chris | 22 Comments

The gap has widened at the top while absolutely nothing else was decided but Milan owned players are cursed. Hooray.

Saturday

Inter 2 - Livorno 0: Huge surprise, I know. David Suazo turned into David Swayze and scored two goals in four minutes to make things quick and easy as the Nerazzurri open up an 11 point […]
