Pretty men in pink kill another giant….and the Serie C2/A being shocked by Alessandria

By: Marco | November 30th, 2008

I wear pink because I am a manly man

Sure its Steven’s job to talk about this but I might get my two cents in on it and rant about it. Everyone expected Milan to walk over Palermo considering their 2-0 drubbing against camel boy and the United Nations team but holy crap it was the complete opposite. The first half proved to be the starting point of the upset and you could see Palermo wanted it more. My boy Miccoli aka uni-brow aka fashion expeditionary extraordinaire was all over the place. It brought a tear to my eye and reminded me of all of those months spent playing FM leading Palermo to glory. With that epic midfield partnership of Daniele Dessena & Juan Manuel Torres, the Argentine duo of Andres D’Alessandro and Augusto Fernandez with Adriano (the party boy) up front. Ok enough of the flashbacks.

Atalanta still sit mid table but the Lazio win is vital and gives us a lot of momentum. Roma are slowly making their way up top and look like the Milan of last year. Juve and Milan are tied for second place with the United Nations leading the league like they usually do so no surprises there. The Serie C2/A you say? What the f*** is that? Its our equivalent of the Coca Cola league or whatever its called in England. Real football fans watch lower league football and at least support a team down there instead of a top 4 team and I personally love the lower leagues. My beloved Alessandria are rocking the league after being promoted from the Serie D (the Italian version of the Blue Square) and I would love to see them up top. Sure it would take them another three or four seasons at least but we can at least dream. Legnano are the worst team in the Serie C1/A and it looks like they are getting relegated. The pretty men in lilac just haven’t been able to do anything after a good season last time around. But at least I get to wear my pretty kit tomorrow proudly ;)

    Marco – are you a closet Palermo supporter? Or are you just a fan of Miccoli? Or maybe both? :D

    That’s awesome!

    Btw, how is Floccari playing this season? I haven’t been able to see much of Atalanta, but I’m fairly certain he’s a regular in the starting XI. Is he living up to expectations?

    He has been doing pretty good this season. He has had a lot of chances that he has missed but he still has potential. I heard through the wire that he is being linked with Palermo.
