Although season previews are going up all over the place, I’m actually going to hold off on the Torino one until after the mercato closes (meaning after our first game) because I am of the opinion that these next few days of transfer activity could play a significant role in our performance this season.

It was a good weekend. Toro beat Brescia 2-1 in the Coppa, the Bianchi affair concluded in a positive way, and I rocked out in Golden Gate Park. The game against Brescia was a struggle, not concluding until David Di Michele started to prove his worth by finishing off a wonderful move. Bianchi finally signed [...]

Reports in Italy suggest that Bianchi has agreed [...]

Whoever says what happens in pre-season isn’t indicative of what happens in the regular season is full of it. The evidence? August 19, Lugano 0-0 Torino. David Di Michele shoots a penalty straight at the ‘keeper and if creating chances was like creating good food we’d still be stuck on frozen waffles after this game. [...]

It has been slow going for Toro in the past few days, which is disconcerting as we approach the crucial point of our mercato. We beat up yet another lower league team today, this time taking our frustration out on Ivrea, whom we beat 3-0 with goals from Abbruscato, Vailatti, and Ventola. At least we [...]

That’s right, a meaningful(ish) friendly and not-so-ridiculous transfer rumors!

Everyone’s been asking me what I want for my birthday tomorrow and I’ve got no idea what to tell them. I have plenty of books to read, enough DVDs, and I’ve outgrown computer games (except for a healthy dose of Football Manager every now and again – sometimes I feel that’s the only way we’ll [...]
