News Round-Up As Donadoni Keeps Talking
By: Martha |•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.)

Fiorentina v Torino: Penalty Mania
By: Martha |Not a pretty match, by any stretch of the imagination. To the surprise of even themselves, Toro came out flying, and put pressure on Fiorentina’s penalty area before the home side could even get hold of the ball. David Di Michele looked lively at the start, but Toro’s advantage faded quickly as the Viola settled […]
Coppa Wrap as Totti Scores, Lazio Survive and Milan Go Home
By: Martha |[Sorry about the radio silence yesterday — The Offside unexpectedly switched servers, which left a lot of us seeing error messages all day. I wrote most of this then, in between clicking “refresh” every 30 minutes.]
The order of Coppa Italia things was somewhat restored this week when Roma overturned a 1-3 first leg deficit against […]
Parma v Fiorentina: Mutu Double
By: Martha |I’m irredeemably biased when it comes to Bobo Vieri, but based on the first half today, I think anyone could see why Cesare Prandelli prefers him to Giampaolo Pazzini right now: He plays simple and smart and, mostly importantly links up really well with Adrian Mutu, who is indesputably the focus of the Fiorentina attack.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a YouTube Tuesday, but BundesligaJan dug up this clip, and it’s more than worthy of being featured. It’s the trailer for a movie called L’Allenatore nel pallone 2, which has something to do with the Italian football and is obviously going to be a pile of crap, but […]
Mega News Roundup As We Wait for the First Mega Deal
By: Martha |Sory this is so epic, I’m headed to the airport and wanted to pull together as much as I could before I’m at the mercy of the FAA and the weather. God only knows when I’ll get home.

Week 17: Inter Winter Champions
By: Martha |With their derby victory yesterday, Inter secured a seven point lead going into the break, keeping that distance despite the wins of both teams behind them. Roma, who end the first half with just one loss (to Inter, in which they played with 10 men for more than an hour) dispatched Sampdoria 2-0 behind a […]
Roma v Sampdoria: Two for Totti’s Bionic Boots
By: Martha |Roma climbed to with four of Inter on the strength of a brace by Francesco Totti, and assured themselves a second place finish to 2007 — no matter what Juve do tomorrow, than can do no better than third.
After the first five minutes or so, during which Matteo Ferrari just booted the ball out of […]
The Continuing Adventures of Antonio Cassano and His Brain
By: Martha |Antonio Cassano misses Roma. So much. Despite fighting with pretty much every manager the club had during his time there, he wishes he’d never left, and describes his departure as “a big mistake.” Though, being Antonio Cassano, he can’t leave it at that and just say something nice, so he his more recent declaration of […]
WAG of the Week: Samantha De Grenet (Take Two)
By: Martha |Inspired by Gabriel, who suggest that one (of the many) Pippo Inzaghi WAGs be featured this week in tribute to the Milan man’s Goal Scoring Greatness, and by Linda, who said it might have been this very WAG who led to the falling of out of BFFs Pippo n Bobo, I present to you Ms. […]
