With the haunting reminder of the 5-1 thrashing suffered at the hands of Atalanta last December 2 in Bergamo, the Partenopei were looking for revenge in today’s ‘ritorno’ match at the San Paolo in front of an estimated 40,000 plus spectators. Napoli was coming off of a stinker of a game against Catania but this [...]

The end of the season can’t come quickly enough at this rate. Napoli continued their dismal road showing by getting outclassed and outhustled by a squad in a fight for their relegation lives. Walter Zenga had his Sicilian side motivated on Sunday afternoon against what appeared to be an out-of-sorts Napoli squad.
It is a cruel [...]

Another chapter in the turbulent season that is Napoli’s return to Serie A was written at Reggio Calabria on Saturday. Napoli took an underserved lead in the 31st minute of the second half only to see the full three points slip away on a piece of sloppy defending and clinical finishing in the games final [...]

Three different times yesterday I thought Napoli would get crushed by the machine that is Inter Milan. #1 When I saw the starting lineup. #2 When we scored first (figured we just angered the calcio Gods). #3 When we missed the penalty. I need to check my faith.

Napoli haven’t won a match in their last seven matches (including the flameout in the Coppa Italia against Lazio). Coach Edy Reja was called out on the carpet by our President twice. A second loss against bottom-dwellers Cagliari has upset a once promising start. The tifosi are booing Reja when he takes his garbage out and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Years of wallowing against the likes of Modena, Catanzaro and Rimini make this past Saturday all the more thrilling. There’s a very real price to pay following a squad in the lower divisions. The coverage is scanty and more speculative than normal, statistics are hard to come by and television coverage? Not a chance. At [...]
