No Party

The update on injury is neither hopeful nor disastrous. Surgery won't be required, yet, but there's also no update on when this "therapy" is going to enable him to hit back. In fact, there's no vague timeline either. He might be back against Livorno -- which, ...

Il Neo-Danielista

Roma 2 – Napoli 1
The Francesco show
So it took awhile but I’m back.
Before talking about the napoli game I would like to mention the appointment of Ranieri and the departure of Spal.

I think they were a little too strong though, hence the explanation for the pitch invasion. Here are some things Ibra had to say during the course of his supposed hectic day:

Barcelona?

Looks like our boy is on his way to Spain. Today he said his goodbyes to his Inter teammates and flew to Sweden to sign some papers. The apparent deal for Ibra that Inter and Barca made is: 40m+Eto'o+Hleb. As an Inter fan i am deeply saddened ...
