More Transfers + Coppa Italia Rundown
By: bingitz2002 |There was more activity in Toro’s mercato late this week as the team saw one player out and another fill his shoes.

Midfield Options

Mainly, [...]
Good Times, Bad Times
By: bingitz2002 |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.

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 [...]

Not Yet Silver….Perhaps A Pewter Lining?
By: chris |No, not you, Alvaro.
So Torino has that whole “can’t score goals” thing going on for them right now, despite having guys with some decent talent. Maybe they decided to quit while they were ahead after the Parma game. Or maybe the only way this team is going to score goals these days is by having [...]
