UEFA Cup woe and meeting with the Rossoneri

By: Rolf | Comments 7 Comments

So, after getting our heads handed to us by Metalist Kharkov or whatever, we’ve got one thing left to fight for; the Coppa Italia. Others will say we have a relegation fight coming up as well but I refuse to give in to talk like that. This squad is far to good to be relegated.
However, [...]

Blucerchiati vs the other Nerazzuri

By: Rolf | Comments 4 Comments

But first, a word on our recent UEFA Cup embarrasment.
I didn’t watch the game, but from various reports I’ve read we played a game that can be perfectly described as utter crap. Metalist seems to have walked all over us at the Marassi, and our chances of going to Ukraine and winning 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 [...]

Mission accomplished

By: Rolf | Comments 11 Comments

Niiiice.

I can only begin to imagine the Juve offside’s desperation after this match.
Four times the bianconeri rattled the Doria posts, and yet they were left with only a single goal and point. Sampdoria got excactly the same, minus three woodwork hits.
Juve ran the game from start end with Sampdoria creating a grand total of 3 [...]

Fisherman vs Old Lady

By: Rolf | Comments 2 Comments

It’s not a fair fight, is it?

Actually, it is.
While pretty much everyone excpects us to get soundly trashed by Juve, I think it would be not only hasty but downright stupid to ignore the fact that while Sampdoria are definately not in the form of their history, neither are Juve.
Last weekend they edged out Catania [...]

The Sampdoria offside is back…

By: Rolf | Comments 8 Comments

…but with someone new at the helm.
I have the extremely prestigious honour of announcing myself as the new writer here at the Sampdoria offside, facing off some pretty stiff competition from a 6-year old and a chinese dyslectic.
I’m not terribly good at these sorts of introductions, so I’ll just say that you’ll get to know [...]

THE REAL FOOTBALL ON THANKSGIVING!

By: Alberico | Comments 7 Comments

I am quite sorry for the lack of updates, but finals are KILLING me!!! Still no excuse. But anyway, things are looking pretty good for us DORIANI lately as we are winning games, the latest being an important victory at home against a team ahead of us in the standings, Catania. The result, 3-0, reminded [...]

finalmente!!!!!!

By: Alberico | Comments 2 Comments

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Breath of fresh air. That was my first reaction when the final whistle blew yesterday. Why? Because we finally got our deserved victory of the 2008-09 campaign. Now Sampdoria yesterday against Bologna did not do anything else different in their style of play from their first 8 games, the difference was two-fold: 1) we [...]

can we turn the page now or not yet???

By: Alberico | Comments No Comments

Well, let me tell you, yesterday i tried to do everything possible to watch this game somewhere. As always I had my matchtracker on from www.gazzetta.it and trying to find a live streaming video. Well I finally found one that worked just before Daniele Dessena scored what would end up being the game winner, and [...]

at this point, we should play in the Lithuanian league ;)

By: Alberico | Comments 2 Comments

Of course it is a joke, but at least we would be at the top of the table and undefeated. So after yesterday’s 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Kaunas we booked our ticket to the group stage, which is a great accomplishment already. Now we anxiously await Tuesday’s drawing in Nyon where we will find out [...]
