TARDY PRE-GAME

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 the hearts of his female partners only to find ruin after domestication; love could not be won or purchased and his final realization of happiness was embodied by a wooden sled. In the same manner Maurizio Zamparini wooes football managers into the cold grasp of his withered hands only to sack them in a loud manner; a number which has tallied to an impressive 26 (Davide Ballardini will surely make the 27th).

In earnest I don’t wish the same fate of Kane upon Zamparini and with the knowledge of the result of the encounter this half written once intended pre-game post must be transformed to a less scathing attack upon the department store tycoon. For all men deserve their peace of sorts, as long as that peace doesn’t infringe upon the freedoms of others or in this case on my dear RossoBlu.

With fair depression I missed the day of games and have been as of late hand-cuffed to the responsibilities of a working a man and so the results were relayed to me last night through half shut eyes by RAI’s Domenica Sportiva. Since points were shared, I declare peace with Palermo or Palermu and extend the hand of a hearty sportsman’s grip, well done. What a shame, I went through all the trouble of comping together this Miccoli quiz:
