This weekend was not a particularly memorable in the granata world as we were eliminated from the Coppa Italia and have not made any more dealings in the transfer market. There is still some work to be done before the season starts next week, but it looks like we will be ready for the season [...]

Torino are through to the next round of the Coppa Italia after a narrow 1-0 win over Lega Pro side Figline. As commentators appropriately noted, it is the Toro of August, as we are still in many ways getting ready for the league campaign ahead. Rolando Bianchi scored the only goal of the match, assisted [...]

Seriously. What’s so appealing about playing in black-and-white stripes? It looks like you’re doing time, not playing football. (I suppose it suits Juventus however.) Nonetheless, i gobbi are not the focus of our efforts this weekend (though the derby is soon!), this Sunday we welcome Udinese to the Stadio Olimpico. This is a tricky match. [...]

Looking back at our defeat against Inter, nobody can say it was really unexpected. While we all like to spring a surprise, we hadn’t won at home against Inter since 1994. Of course it was also that long ago that we last won a Serie A opener, but this time it wasn’t to be. Inter [...]

We won! It is the first time we have won a Serie A opening match since 1993, so that is a noteworthy achievment in my book. However, we should not get carried away with ourselves. Our goals were fairly lucky and Lecce hit the post twice. That being said, we definitely deserve to have a [...]

So this just became a real life relegation fight after Cagliari were awarded their three points back earlier in the week. Then they went and continued their good form and drew with Roma today (alright, they had no business getting a draw, but Matteo Ferrari started the game with a Rossoblu jersey on). Livorno drops [...]
