FORGIVENESS UNDERPANTS
By: Ben |The last time Bologna met Genoa in 2007 was at the Stadio Ferraris, both teams were still in Serie B and a certain Marco Di Vaio was wearing the red and blue stripes; the red and blue of the Genovese. On this occasion the capocannoniere scored the second goal of a 3-0 route with [...]
SOILED SUCCI
By: Ben |Steven from the Palermu Offside has brazenly stolen my Citizen Zamp photo so in retaliation I have stolen one of his! Yet in doing so I noticed one very peculiar detail which he did not. If you look closely at the victorious Davide Succi’s bottom-wear you’ll notice a beige and no doubt foul [...]
TARDY PRE-GAME
By: Ben |Charles Foster Kane: media mogul, Maurizio Zamparini: retail mogul, the similarities are striking. Where one built an empire on the back of the scandalous New York Inquirer, the other exercised his muscle of capitalism in the business of department stores (Emezzeta is currently holding a rousing pre-Xmas sale, apparently somebody beats The Wiz)
CFK wooed [...]
BOLOGNA CALCIO Mihajlovic: ”Un piccolo passo avanti”
By: Ben |“A small step forward”, beamed Mihajlovic after the game in Siena. We’ve yet to win under his direction but the two points earned against la Roma and on the road in Siena are almost enough for a broth, we wrestle three from Palermo next weekend and everyone eats tortellini in brodo! An encounter [...]
Mihajlovic calls for COURAGE!! Bilbo stays home :(
By: Ben |In an interview Sinisa Mihajlovic has stated that tomorrow’s encounter with Siena is a match that will be met with more difficulty than that of last Saturday against the struggling Roma. He failed to elaborate with the eloquence of metaphors as with Roma but has praised the leadership of his opposite Giampaolo and the [...]
Intervallo…
By: Ben |11pm on a Wednesday night, I’m full of gas and doing my best not to trumpet; especially since I live in a NYC apartment my wife is literally a stride away and such classless noises don’t bode well with an Italian woman. In fact in the six years I’ve been with her not once [...]
Prove di tecniche di trasmissione! Proof of transmission!
By: Ben |There is a heartbeat, the team did not lose hope after Totti’s stroke of grace; most importantly Mihajlovic has sparked fight into the pulse of the Bolognese.
We snatched a point and denied three to a team hot off a Champions League rampage and looking to crawl back up the ladder (and rightfully so, this team [...]
Yugoslavia coach Vujadin Boskov, when asked about his future after losing 6-1 to Holland: “I am not ill, so I hope I won’t die. That’s my future.”
By: Ben |In response to Chris’ recent article on the Roma blog regarding Sinisa Mihajlovic’s obscure quip reported on La Gazzetta Dello Sport: “Non c’è bisogno di un fucile per vincere, gli possiamo fare male anche con una pistola ad acqua, se gli spariamo in un occhio”. (A rifle is not needed to win. It’s also [...]
You’ve one nut already. No more!
By: Ben |Tuesday night was a momentous occasion, and no not only for the earth rattling three goals that sent John Terry into a mutant dork rage in the dressing room. That’s correct, your achievement was but an appetizer, the penultimate celebration of this past Tuesday; the spoils must be granted to the achievement of an [...]
