A Year of Frustration

By: Jae | Comments 3 Comments

Initially I was going to do this big end of season review. Complete with player ratings and a comprehensive review of the season from the disastrous beginning under Gregucci to the late season optimism under Mutti. But as I began I found that I had conveniently forgotten the early performances and was struggling to say anything extremely positive about many players. So instead I’ve decided to just condense everything into one simple small post. Read the rest of this entry »

Last Game in Serie A: Atalanta vs Palermo

By: Jae | Comments 2 Comments

It would be easy to think that with us officially relegated, the team will roll over for Palermo this Sunday. Palermo, of course is still fighting for that last Champions League spot as they currently sit two points adrift of Sampdoria. But I am confident (and hopeful) that the team will come out fighting and provide us with an entertaining match. It is after all our last match in Serie A for at least a year, our last home match of the year, and as mentioned earlier, the last match of the season. There is also the little fact that many players will be auditioning for moves to other clubs. The early rumors largely surround Thomas Manfredini (Napoli, Genoa), Simone Padoin (Genoa), and Tiberio Guarente (Napoli, Udinese). Palermo of course will come out for the win as they want that Champions League spot. Read the rest of this entry »

Relegated

By: Jae | Comments 9 Comments

We fought the good fight but in the end it wasn’t enough. No result went the way we needed them to today, we lost to Napoli, Lazio beat Livorno, and Bologna drew with Catania. Arrivederci Serie A. Read the rest of this entry »

Must Win! Napoli vs Atalanta

By: Jae | Comments 6 Comments

It seems like I’ve been saying this forever, but this week can really be it in terms of whether we’re plying our trade in the heaven known as Serie A or the purgatory known as Serie B. If we don’t win and Bologna/Lazio don’t lose we’re going down :-( Read the rest of this entry »

Utter Disappointment Atalanta 1 Bologna 1

By: Jae | Comments 1 Comment

Disappointment, frustration, depression, resignation. All are appropriate at the moment. A game that we should have won, slipped away by the cruelest of circumstances . . . an own goal. Misery compounded by the fact that we lost a man to an incompetent referee just before the half. We’re not mathematically down in B yet by we may as well be, we need a miracle over the next two weeks to stay up. Read the rest of this entry »

It All Comes Down To This! Atalanta vs Bologna

By: Jae | Comments Add Comments

Well practically it does. A win boosts our hopes of survival considerably, a draw makes it almost impossible, and a loss resigns us to Serie B next season. It’s hard to understate the importance of this match as the fate of our whole season could rest on the outcome of this match. Read the rest of this entry »
