Back on the road, which during the end of Reja’s and [all of] Donadoni’s reign, was a worrisome venture. Now there is a certain air of expectation surrounding the game, one of optimism and victory. The words spoken by Mazzarri say it all:
“It’s the ideal week to lose to Catania. They are a [...]

Historical Context and Mercato Rumours

Napoli’s 3-2 victory in Torino last Saturday was the club’s first victory away to Juventus in 21 years. This alone is reason for celebration, but if you look the entire week it might be the best week of Napoli calcio since the team qualified for the UEFA Cup in 1991-92. Can anyone remember [...]

My apologies for the delay. With course scheduling taking place, the past couple of days have been about as frantic as Juventus’ back four on Saturday. So while a lot of the hype has died down from our epic battle at the Olimpico, I’d like to recap a little bit of what happened; [...]

That’s what they’re all calling us now. No Just kidding, I don’t know a single Napoli fan that lives near my desolate town, but if there were maybe that’s what they’d be saying? I don’t know about everyone else but I’m still on a high from the Milan game, or just high in [...]

For the record, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis is not a vampire. But whenever I see his cold, unmoving face, the image of him ripping apart his players’ flesh and drinking their blood flashes across my mind. Sorry for the gruesome thoughts but I just had to do a Halloween themed post this [...]

Napoli 2 AC Milan 2
I’ve never studied Latin but the above title roughly translates as “to make out of nothing” which is exactly what Napoli did against Milan. In the 89th minute Napoli had nothing, and despite some postive play they were going to be deserved losers on the day. All of the [...]

A very special spectator will be at the San Paolo Wednesday night as Napoli host Milan in a battle of two teams who are in the process of finding their top form. Nazionale boss Marcello Lippi will have an eye on a number of players, but most importantly Milan’s Alessandro Nesta and Napoli’s Christian [...]

(Yeah that’s Viola man high schooler? *midfielder* Montolivo holding(?) his junk).
Another away game, another opportunity to list a dismal sequence of statistics regarding our recent history of away games. For now I’ll just leave it at we haven’t beat the Viola since 01. The progression of Fiorentina’s quality since doesn’t [...]

Napoli 2-1 Bologna
A Napoli side that showed determination for the whole 90 minutes got an injury time winner from Cristian Maggio to give new manager Walter Mazzarri a win on his debut. Playing an unusual 3-3-2-2, the Partenopei controlled most of the game but had to wait until Quagliarella’s goal on 72 minutes to [...]

Ahhh, a breath of fresh coaching, tactics, and motivation. Maybe now I’ll be able to drink my coffee during the game without risking spitting it up in ‘Donafrustration.’ It is a bit odd to think while our home record has been good (2 wins, 1 draw), and we have spent more money [...]
