Atalanta – Lazio, Sunday 15;00 cet

We face Atalanta away on day 4 of Serie A season. Atalanta has a fanstastic squad capable of giving hard time to all teams in the league and they proved that by drawing Fiorentina away last Sunday, albeit having a player sent off in the second half.
On the other hand, we are going there after [...]

Yet another draw: 1-1 against the greek side

Just like I anticipate (but did not write on the blog entry), we only managed a draw against Olympiacos last night. Watching the highlights, one may observe that we could have easily lost the match, considering another poor display, but also win it if Pandev stroke better just before the end. All in all it [...]

Only a goalless draw at home against Empoli

Don`t know what to say really. Based on the highlights I saw and what papers report, it was quite a poor match without a single player being worth mentioning. Except for maybe Muslera who made a decent debute on Saturday night. Others were poor or average at best. Especially midfielders were awful I read. No [...]

It appears as Sporting Director Walter Sabatini who presented his resignation just after the transfer deadline had passed has returned to the club at the same position which is extremely good news for us. Not that Lotito could not find his replacement fast, but Sabatini is close to Delio Rossi and players and he has [...]
