25,000 Strong for Milan: Preview
By: Giovanni |
1 Comment
This Sunday, the in-form and re-tooled Bologna club will host struggling AC Milan, victims of recent off-field troubles that have translated to difficulties on the field. Stadio Dall’Ara is expected to be filled almost to capacity, with an expected 25,000 spectators ready to don their scarves and jerseys and cheer their hearts out. Can Bologna continue their string of recent success and hold off the number two team in the standings? Can Di Vaio manage to get an invite to Ronaldinho’s next three-day party? We’ll know the answer to (at least) one of these questions tomorrow. Read the rest of this entry »

L’ascensione del Bologna
By: Giovanni | 1 Comment
Italian soccer took a few weeks off for the holiday break and so did we here at the Bologna FC blog – probably more time than was necessary, in our case. We were waiting for a few things: for some movement in the transfer market, for some positive results about which we could write, and for promising signs of improvement at the beginning of the season’s second half. We got all three. Read the rest of this entry »

In my last post, I made some comments about Bologna gathering momentum in its next few matches and trying to put together a push for mid-table before the holidays. A win and a draw helped move the team into 15th place, out of immediate relegation danger, and today we come to the third week of the big push. Lower-table Atalanta and Catania are to follow, so who’s smack in the middle of this five-week madness? Why, Parma, of course. Read the rest of this entry »

I missed the first half of last week’s match against Inter, but it was a lot of what was to be expected: Bologna creating some chances and taking some shots, but ultimately tiring out against the more experienced and talented Milan team. There were some good plays, and I was certainly excited to see the team play aggressively (22 fouls and a bunch of offside calls – they were moving forward!), but it wasn’t a game from which we could expect three points. This week, we begin a new campaign. Read the rest of this entry »

Peaches, Pink Flamingos, Pomegranate Bellinis…I just want to make a stand here, this is a clean blog, god fearing, Pope German Shepherd Ratzinger supportive, Thanksgiving is everyday type of blog so if you were drawn by the innocent headline to fill your rotten jar with perverted notions or actions there of, rather if you were drawn by the letter P and the milieu of racy scenarios it creates, or if you clicked on this blogicle, for the simple pleasure of seeing the five letter word P_____ written on a page in ARIAL type font…you will not be satisfied here so take your perversions to the Roma blog who regularly plaster Grandfather Totti’s wife at the head of postings. Hmm she must have a pink p…..PURSE! PURSE dammit, I know what you were thinking, take it with you and get out, then pray to the Catholic God of bread. This is a home for religion and football! Now go to the Vatican and pray for forgiveness in front of the gold and emerald encrusted walls!! Take a bath in jewels HEATHENS!
Bologna(Z,Z,D) – Palermo(K) 3-1. Whenever I gloat, celebrate, lactate, I mean…whenever I fall prey to the glints of hope Bologna shed every now and again, we are quickly hammered back to reality, HOWEVER suck on it DAVIDE SUCCI and 3 South Americans don’t make their equivalent in goals, Miccoli is still an APEMAN, just look at the SLOPE OF THE MAN’S FOREHEAD!
I hadn’t much hopes for Zalayeta but we see the fruits of a second striker off Di Vaio. An oxpecker successfully feeding off of Di Vaio’s mammal back. Oh and good news for us the mammal also scored in the 93rd minute. Now if only we had a classic number ten to sit behind the mammal and oxpecker rather than geriatric Adailton and the great mongoloid Mudingayi, we’d have a shot at mid-table.
Yet you must enjoy this victory! For next week is Inter and over Bologna will be bent. Did you catch that? That’s Yoda speak. Well my right hand is broken and I’m high on percocet so that will be all. Until next time… and remember there is nothing quite like a tight p….. PENNY LOAFER! Sick, you people are SICK!

Another week, a few more opportunities to grab some much-needed points from two struggling teams. Siena, sitting at the very bottom of the table, eventually coughed theirs up while playing clean football and making things somewhat interesting. Roma, sitting just a few points above the drop, refused to give anything in a must-win comebacker at the Stadio Olimpico. Where do we stand now? Read the rest of this entry »
Category: Bologna Team NewsRotten Cabbage

The reality is; Sampdoria are currently a hot skillet, the journalists will continue to paint heavy comparisons to the scudetto winning flag pole of 1991, the current team’s habits of group dinners are reminiscent of the unity shown by the mythic Samp, and strangely enough on the 9th day of play in 1990 Sampdoria won by the scoreline of 4-1, away to Diego Maradona’s Napoli thanks to Vialli and Mancini who scored a pair each. In truth: we were defeated at the whistle.
Bologna are in dire straits; the firing of Papadopulo for Colomba is like trading in your Ford for a Chevy, what we need right now is a Ferrari or at least a reliable Nissan. Why we didn’t seek the Conte or Mazzarri before they were taken off the job market? The Menarini’s have once again proved not to be the rock of solidity needed to reel the anchor of a tormented club.
We are a rotten cabbage. Sick from the inside out. To peel away the bad leaves will only reveal more and the center of it you will find has the worst rot. The Menarini’s sordid dinner date with Luciano Moggi last season; I fail to believe that this had no impact on our campaign for salvation. However I am never one to judge because I am a realist.
It’s quick to throw stones but nobody’s bed is clean. Where there exists the practice of politics, from the Vatican to your office: there lies corruption. The loudest voices come from those who do not benefit from it, yet we did this past season and I have a feeling that as long as the Menarini’s are in charge we will benefit yet again despite the stronger levels of the clubs in the relegation zone. This realist says complaint and cast stones don’t make change so if you’re on the triumphant end, continue to triumph.
That being said, salvation or truth if you have ambition for this sort of thing lies in the blucerchiati. The eyes of the great Vialli are upon us.

After last week’s disappointing loss to Napoli, struggling Bologna take on in-form Sampdoria this Saturday at noon EST, hoping to somehow nab some much-needed points and move up from the bottom of the table. With a new coach and a new formation, can they take something away from this match? Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a relatively uneventful two weeks away from Serie A. Luckily, we’re gearing up for this weekend’s return to action after a tough loss to Genoa during the celebration of Bologna FC’s 100th anniversary. It was a match that Bologna fans desperately wanted to win, considering the hype and excitement surrounding the game, but the 3-1 loss may provide a bit of perspective. We might already be getting to that point in the season where fans have to take a step back and think realistically about their goals for the year. Can this team climb up the Serie A ranks and contend? Read the rest of this entry »

I apologize for the lack of posts as of recent, but as always at moments my job can take me away for extended periods of time.
Tomorrow starts the campionato and tomorrow Bologna face a fierce Fiorentina in a derby that has poisoned the blood of its fans for decades.
Since last I posted, the gas-man Taci pulled out of negotiations to gain 80 percent ownership of Bologna and Zalayeta has arrived as reinforcement ahead of the season. All will be told in 90 minutes tomorrow afternoon.
This post is brief but I will return tomorrow evening with a full game re-cap. Thank you for your patience.
