Funny (and peculiar) story out of Genoa today. A Sampdoria fan has asked for 280 euro from Sampdoria midfielder and captain Angelo Palombo (pictured) for an injury he suffered to his finger after a ball struck by Palombo landed in the stands.

Coppa Stuffs
Roma 1 – Catania 0
Inter 0 – Lazio 0

Juventus Is Sucking The Fun Out Of The Silly Season
By: chris | 14 Comments
Come on. Who likes a big transfer during the month of April? Nobody, that’s who. It’s no fun for the fans, who get to spend countless hours cycling through sketchy web sites with questionable sources (I’m looking at you goal, tribal and c4) while going completely bananas over the latest message board rumor from [...]

This one’s a bit of a stretch which I stumbled upon while researching last week’s, but I don’t think there will be any complaints.
Ms. Magdalena Graaf is the beauty on the arm of Magnus Hedman, who once spent three games in between the sticks of Ancona, which totally qualifies her for WOTW status. She’s a [...]
