A full strength Napoli dispatched Catania 2-nil on Sunday at the Stadio San Paolo. The victory was the first for the Azzurri since the glorious 3-1 defeat against the dark forces of Juventus nearly one month ago. Napoli also kept their first clean sheet in eight matches (Giornata 5 against Livorno) and played the kind [...]

* Manuele Blasi should return after a month on the sidelines with a knee injury. Blasi suffered his injury in a collision with Thiago at the end of the Juventus match. Our inability to close down and limit space in our own third have led to a bad stretch and Blasi’s ball-winning skills and defensive [...]

There’s no doubt many Napoli fans went into yesterday’s match against Reggina expecting to walk away with three points. The Amaranto hadn’t won in their first 10 Serie A matches (they did manage to beat Piacenza in the Coppa Italia in late August) and their anemic offense was matched by their porous defense. Reggina have [...]

I have a soft spot for almost any southern Italian side. The way I look at it, you can combine the financial resources of just about every side south of Rome and you wouldn’t come close to what Massimo Moratti has available at Inter and that club up in Turin. The cache, influence and good old [...]

Once again the end of the month signaled another loss for Napoli (August - Cagliari, September - Genoa, October - Fiorentina). The Viola got the deserved victory yesterday when Bobo Vieri, making his first appearance in the starting XI, was in the right place at the right time and put a shot past keeper Genarro [...]
