One more and its a streak
By: Marco |I was hoping for three points against overachievers Parma and La Dea came through. Riding on the momentum of last weeks victory against Udinese we were coming into the match with plenty of purpose. After a very disappointing start we definitely need to continue to win.
Parma had an early chance from a Dzemaili freekick [...]
Well I certainly wasn’t expecting this
By: Marco |Going into the Udinese match I was expecting a defeat. With Di Natale out of the lineup the chances weren’t stacked as high but it wasn’t looking good. I expected us to shell up in a 4-5-1 and contain the game and scrap it through in true relegation style. But to my surprise they shock [...]
Ramblings: A new approach to training
By: Marco |What do Smokey Bears have to do with football training? You ask. Hypothetically everything. Footballers are notorious whiny little girls. If they don’t get a couple hundred thousand a week with a ninety-eight hundred thousand goal bonus with god knows how many in appearances, release, relegation, wage rise per yer, blalalla they start talking about [...]
On and Off the Pitch
By: Marco |You can say the title is corny but hey I could think of worse. It has certainly been a while. Even Daryl forgot about me. I have to confess though. I have had a hell of a past few months. After last season I found [...]
The best time of the year
By: Marco |It’s transfer talk time. My favorite time of the year especially on Football Manager. But unlike FM I can’t make a Atalanta “Galacticos” team, watch the downfall of Inter and Torino (well the latter happened) or actually manage a team. But we can speculate. With Kaka’ leaving and going to Madrid for 65M and Gaynaldo [...]
Season review
By: Marco |I am back after a two or three month hiatus (or seems like it). Anyways it’s the end of the Serie A. My TIVO and numerous DVR’s are full of games that I have recorded so I have catching up to do. I did watch Paolo’s last game and I cried at the end like [...]
Floccari gets the double and SuperPippo becomes a spartan
By: Marco |Well we finally break the three game losing steak with a win against Bullshit FC. God I hate that team…nothing like a win against well…we shouldn’t have lost against Chievo but the Milan loss was great. HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS MARCO? Well first SuperPippo is my idol. Sure Maldini is all that is man [...]
Bah
By: Marco |I have been too tired and swamped to update for the past few days. So we lose to failure extraordinaire Cassano (no offense Sampdoria the guy has no class) and Sampdoria. Well actually Pazzini scored the game winning goal signaling his transfer to his new club from the ugly men in purple. Great time to [...]
Ciiiigggggaaaa
By: Marco |Sorry for the delay. Last weekend we faced off against Cagliari in an exciting match (sarcasm). Cigarini gave Atalanta the winning goal getting us another three points. Another win even if we scraped by. Our potential firepower didn’t get a chance to fire but I am not complaining about the win either. At least we [...]
Four steps forward two back, another two steps back and then another step forward. Lets do the midtable dance
By: Marco |After our historic 3-1 victory over Inter we came into the Siena and Bologna fixtures with heads high and morale boosted. But Siena and Bologna in their usual manner did the upset again and topped us 1-0 each. Del Neri insisted that we deserved more in the fixture and prior to kickoff Doni and Padoin [...]
