Annoyance in the Azzurri squad
By: Stephen |
No Comments
Of course, it’s been caused by the man who is not even involved. And satisfyingly, it’s Genoa’s Raffaele Palladino that he is annoying. The striker responded tetchily to journalists who suggested that he is only in the squad because Cassano isn’t, even though he is clearly only in the squad because Cassano isn’t. “I earned [...]

Cagliari 2-0 Sampdoria
By: Stephen | No Comments
I didn’t get to see this game, so can’t offer anything much more than the highlights that were my Samp fix for the week.
Stankevicius’ sending-off seems more and more unjust with each viewing, especially since Jeda’s blatant dive was much more of a dive than Cassano’s, shall we say, loss of equilibrium due to the [...]

The Cassano v Lippi plot, although beginning to bore and stagnate somewhat, has taken yet another mildly interesting turn.
Riccardo Garrone’s comments about knowing why Cassano isn’t involved in the Azzurri setup (apparently it’s a “very, very ugly story“) have provoked a campaign in the Corriere dello Sport, demanding an explanation from The Powers That Be [...]

Hi there,
I’m theoffside’s latest signing, drafted in mid-season through a combination of feeling the need to shout loudly about Samp’s good start to the season and not really having much better to do on these nasty dark winter evenings.
I’ve been a Samp fan for about fifteen years now, a love affair that began, as I’m [...]

So, we’re in the middle of July and the majority of Doria’s transfer activity has (probably) taken place.
Here’s a Doriani’s take on the action:
Delvecchio to Catania.
I don’t know what to say. Delvecchio was quickly becoming one of my favourite Sampdoria players of all time, and a key player in a Sampdoria side that has [...]

All right, I’ve been gone since March (as you’ll hopefully have noticed). My absence has many reasons, and I won’t bore you with them, but lack of time does account for quite a lot of it.
Now however, I feel prepared for another go, one that hopefully will see a bit more contuinity on my part.
This [...]

You might have noticed I rarely do after-match posts.
This is 1; because I don’t really have the time and 2; because the other bloggers around here are far better at it than me.
However, I’d like to say we should be perfectly happy with the result, seeing as the current Roma side are low on bodies [...]
Category: UncategorizedWhy the Bologna defeat doesn’t matter and Roma are in town.
By: Rolf | 2 Comments
Ok, so we got hammered by Bologna last weekend, a disastrous result compared to our recents triumphs against both the Milanese teams. Or is it?
I know this may be bordering on the lunatic, but I don’t think we should be in the least worried about that defeat. Di Vaio was back to his former self, [...]

So, it’s been nearly a week since we edged out Milan and three days since we steamrollered Inter.
And not a word from me. Shame. Fact is, I’m over the moon at the moment, seeing as a number of extremely pleasing situations have come into place…
-We’ve beaten Milan.
-We’ve destroyed Inter.
-The goal twins are back.
No Doriani can [...]

…but I simply won’t be able to come up with a Coppa Italia post today or tomorrow, so the earliest sign of life you can expect to see from me is Friday or Saturday.
However, Johonna over at the Inter board has made a perfectly fine preview not just for Interistas but for Doriani as well.
