Three points!
By: salvatore |I don’t think a win has ever been so ugly and yet so vital. Rossi reshuffled the lineup (with five changes from the disaster at Cagliari) and the team managed to hold off the minnows from Reggio Calabria yesterday.
By all accounts though, it was ugly, frustrating and not very convincing (you just get the [...]
Protests, Eggs and Igli Tare.
By: salvatore |Unsurprisingly, the team’s lousy display in Sardinia has raised a ruckus, and the Aquile’s training sessions have been met with protests, chants and thrown eggs (which raises the question, just what kind of person carries eggs around?

Pathetic.
By: salvatore |If you can think of a better word to describe the 1-0 loss to Cagliari, please let me know. Because as far as I can see, when you play with a man up against a last-place team that’s won only three games all year, AND LOSE, you’re in for some trouble. And make no mistake, [...]

Or is it simply [...]
Lazio a Vita!
By: salvatore |After making every Lazio fan completely sick with endless speculation, fighting and shit talking, Tommaso Rocchi signed a new five-year contract today with the team. If fulfilled, the extended stay can potentially turn him into the one thing the Biancoceleste have truly lacked since Di Canio left: A symbol of the team (as they say [...]
The winter of despair? Or the spring of hope?
By: salvatore |What a difference a win (and at least one dodgy penalty) makes.
Consider if you will, that just a week ago the team was looking more and more like they were going to be fighting for Serie A survival. Reports of contract negotiations with Rocchi and Pandev seemed mostly negative and pessimistic, and oh yeah, [...]
