Week 1, Or: It’s About Damn Time

By: Martha | August 24th, 2007

Napoli are back, bitches. You may not have heard, but Serie A kicks off at long last this weekend. (And there was much rejoicing.)

Juve, Napoli and Genoa are all making their triumphant returns to the league, Inter are trying to cope without Materazzi against a team they were unable to beat last season, Milan are playing without supporters or many strikers and, if we’re lucky, Pocket Rockets (thank you or that mental imagine, Chris) Fabrizio Miccoli and Ludovic Giuly will face off in Rome on Sunday afternoon, in what is likely to be the best match of the weekend. Channel 4’s lovely previews are here, and the full schedule is after the jump.

Cherish this first weekend back in front of the TV, friends.

Juventus – Livorno (Sat)
Lazio – Torino (Sat)
Fiorentina – Empoli
Genoa – Milan
Inter – Udinese
Napoli – Cagliari
Palermo – Roma
Parma – Catania
Reggina – Atalanta
Siena – Sampdoria

Napoli! Back in A! I'm so excited! (Even if it seems I won't get to watch the first game.)

Drum roll please... Serie A is beginning ladies & gentlemen!

I think Serie A should start sooner.

Thank you for putting up a picture of my beloved Napoli, Martha. It's so good to back in Serie A. I have never been so excited and nervous and ecstatic about the start to a season. Seeing those Azzurri out there and knowing we're going to be rocking San Paolo all season long brings a tear to my eye.

If we get Bologna and Lecce back then Serie A will be complete.
