Tottenham Hotspur pulled off an inspirational win this weekend, coming from two goals down to send Southampton home scratching their heads. The win keeps them in fifth, which is quite an achievement when one considers the club’s goal difference. But don’t let the table fool you; Spurs are in turmoil and not just with regards […]

After 10 days of disappointment, United’s woeful week was topped off by a Champions League exit. Crystal Palace came to Old Trafford and managed to get away with a win. Yes, fair enough... Mickey Mouse Carling Cup. They managed a goal to nothing victory against a struggling Villa but just four days later they crashed […]

The worst kept secret at Juventus, well at least up until this week, was that this season would be the last for the Bianconeri’s legendary captain Alessandro del Piero. The 36 year old will say goodbye to a team he has served for nearly two decades and hopefully the clubs is planning a bit more […]

I am starting to become a bit concerned at how poor my predictions have been so far this season, and this weekend’s Rome Derby is no exception. But I am, however. prepared to give myself something of a mulligan for my most recent failure. At the end of the preview I wrote last week, I […]

For Juventus supporters, it is hard not to be inspired by Antonio Conte. The passion and intensity shown by the Old Lady’s new commander is infectious, for the players on the pitch as well as the fans in the seats. He has done well in his first five games, but I fear there just might […]

Sunday marks this season’s first addition of the Derby della Capitale, as Rome’s two fierce rivals face each other at the Stadio Olimpico. In a season where Serie A looks to be wide open, winning a tense clash like this could put the wind in a team’s sails and propel them towards the top […]

The international break gives us a chance to take a look back at this early part of the Serie A season and see what we can take from it. Five game in to 2011-2012 and only one thing is certain, and that is nothing is certain. While it may be a bit early to pass […]

At the Stadio San Paolo earlier this week, in front of a thunderous support, Napoli made their grand entrance onto the European stage, as they defeated Villareal 2-0 in their first home match in the Champions League. Perhaps it is almost time for the football world to stand up and take notice of Napoli. The […]

You don’t need an Italian football expert to tell you Gian Piero Gasperini was off to a bad start at Inter. Even though he has lead the Nerazzurri in fewer than a half-dozen competitive matches, his team looked nothing short of horrendous in that time. It can be argued he did, in fact, deserve the […]

The Good: Thiago Silva snatched a point for Milan It was a typical Barcelona match. The Spanish champions passed the ball around the pitch with ease, albeit after conceding a very untypical-Barca goal in the first minute. They scored two goals off some brilliant movement and looked certain to take three points comfortably. That is […]

You couldn’t have scripted a better beginning of this new era in the already storied history of Juventus Football Club. An incredible new stadium, a new coach, new signings, and they all came together beautifully this past weekend for a 4-1 smashing of Parma. For the first time in a few seasons, the Old Lady […]

Well, it certainly didn’t take very long for media and supporters to turn on Inter’s new coach Gian Piero Gasperini and his tactics, all of one league match to be exact. But what’s worse is that Inter’s top brass may have as well. Losing the opening match of the season on the road Sunday to […]
