Benvenuti a Maggio e Denis!!!

By: fortunato | Comments 11 Comments

After the Monday massacre at the hands of the Oranje, my two cents has always been that Donadoni has still not done enough to transform to a youth movement with the national team and continues to rely on veterans that are or are getting too long in the tooth, particularly in the midfield and the [...]

Napoli Transfer Tidbits

By: fortunato | Comments 3 Comments

On the morning of the Euro 2008 kick off, I am sitting at my computer with rest of the family asleep reading up on some updates to the fast and furious rumours and I thought I would share them with you:

A few days ago, it appeared inevitable that Livorno defender Giovanni Pasquale was on his [...]

Napoli Summer Transfer Tidbits

By: fortunato | Comments 5 Comments

What a blow for the national team losing my hero Fabio Cannavaro after a nasty collision with Juventus’ Giorgio Chiellini during the Azzurri’s first training session earlier today. Cannavaro’s ankle injury will keep him out of the entire Euro 2008 tournament. I am shattered and rattled but not broken and still think the team has [...]

Napoli Summer Transfer Tidbits

By: fortunato | Comments 7 Comments

As we gear up for the Euro Cup 2008, I can’t help but pass along some summer transfer market rumours as they pertain to our boys:
First of all I am jealous that Fiorentina went out and inked Alberto Gilardino and that Marco Borriello appears to have been bought back completely by Milan to replace Gila [...]

Before we prepare to follow the much anticipated European Cup and cheering on the Azzurri, I thought I would take this opportunity to quickly review the performance of every single partenopeo who played this past 2007/2008 and offer a rating in evaluating their overall season. My rating is based on my perception of how well [...]

By: Joe | Comments 7 Comments

Thanks to Francesco who found this little YouTube treasure. It’s all of Napoli’s goals this past season. Just thought I’d share. I will post some updates regarding the calciomercato and Intertoto Cup soon… that crazy thing called a paying gig is cramping my style.

Lazio 2 Napoli 1: E Finita La Stagione

By: fortunato | Comments 2 Comments

In what many Lazio tifosi believe will be current coach Delio Rossi’s last game with the biancocelesti, his squad did celebrate an end-of-season victory in a rather dry and boring Serie A season finale by downing the Azzurri 2-1. Rossi’s future remains very much in the air after a disappointing season which started with Lazio [...]

Napoli 3- Milan 1: Game Review

By: fortunato | Comments 12 Comments

In yet another example of playing the “big boys” tough in the 2007/2008 Serie A season, the Partenopei pulled out an outstanding performance against the big rosso-nero machine and in doing so dealt a crushing blow to Milan’s hopes of a 2008/2009 Champions League qualification spot. The Azzurri were powered by goals from Marek Hamsik, [...]

Torino 2 Napoli 1 Review

By: fortunato | Comments 7 Comments

Our boys headed into Torino after a goalless draw at the San Paolo stadium the week previous against Siena in a very winnable match. The Partenopei were sitting comfortably in ninth-place with 47 points and Manager Edoardo Reja was disappointed with the Siena draw when he declared, “Seeing the results from the other games we [...]
