Serse Cosmi is the new Livorno coach. Aldo Spinelli couldn’t take it anymore ands acked Gennaro Ruotolo after Livorno’s dismal point pick up this season. 3 points leaves us in last place looking straight at those uncomfortable bus trips of relegation. It’s not really Ruotolo’s fault, i mean when you’re looking forward to January because Ricardo lark is coming in to solidify your midfield, something is lacking on the roster. Add to that the injury bug hitting Nelson Rivas, Mozart and Candreva and you have the recipe for last place.
Let’s not expect Serse Cosmi to perform miracles in record time because we have Roma, Atalanta and Inter over 7 days…At least Serse Cosmi has decent knowledge of how to deal with a crazy president after coaching under Luciano Gaucci at Perugia. Let’s be honest Serse isn’t the best coach in the world, he’s on his way to coaching every semi-decent yo yo team in Italian Football, but at least he should keep things interesting. He has the right attitude to bring back this squad in the fight for 17th place.

The Diamond-less Livorno have played Cagliari,Napoli & Milan and we have come away with 2 points in the table. Best case Scenario we would have 4 right now but these games have shown us that we can expect some exciting, aggressive football on the way to salvezza all season long. Our only problem right now is putting the ball in the net. We’re creating nice chances but aren’t finishing !
Randomness :
Tavano and Lucarelli are starting to gel well together
Our defence is solid and deep !? Miglionico,Perticone and Diniz have been fairing well and we have this Rivas who has yet to see minutes. Plus Romano Perticone can play the flank for some added defensive coverage over.
Antonio Candreva has already made me forget about Massimo Loviso and if he would have scored off of a free kick against Milan i would even be saying Alè Diamanti right now. His speed,skills and vision are one of the reasons Livorno management decided to cash in on the Diamond in the rough.

Alessandro Diamanti aka the curly dude from Serie C2 aka No scudetto for you Roma aka Ale Luscious Leftfoot aka Un diamante e per sempre aka 16 goals in 3 games in 222 minutes of Serie B aka Zola and Di Canio’s lovechild(?) aka Cassano with aids…
Well the sexiest part of our tridente delle meraviglie is off to the nasty part of London to try and separate the probably still ongoing brawl betwen Milwall and the Hammers. Then he’ll start playing some football under the guidance of GF Zola… Livorno make 6-7-8 Million depending on who you ask…Should be official tomorrow
To try and smooth everything out. Spinelli has announced the quasi official capture of Inter cast away Neson ”Tyson” Rivas and Mozart, ex Reggina/Spartak Moscow/Palmeiras…

Guess who’s back ?
After his Ukranian Champions league goals and some parmiggiano cheese, Cristiano – tenetevi il milliardo – Lucarelli is back home !!! I don’t care for the debate on his comeback ; Livorno welcomes back a son, that just so happens to be the perfect Centravanti for this Livorno squad (plus i’m excited about the arsenal of alliteration possiblities the Livorno\Lucarelli combination can create(And add to that all the Selvaggia Lucarelli cleavage during Google searches)
Lucarelli’s addition now gives us an adequate Serie A attacking tridente for the rush to salvezza, if Diamanti stays of course… With Diamanti, Tavano, Lucarelli, Danilevicius and Cellerino,(Volpe(Juve), Rossini (job at the local Lumbermill) and Paulinho (Sorrento, He’s a huge Dean Martin fan) are gone) Livorno’s attack is pretty much set for next year. However, there is the possibility of Cellerino and Diamanti moving but it seems unlikely at the moment. So we need to add some bodies on Defense and some midfield depth.

Some unreliable media is reporting the Livorno have placed a formal offer to the now Standard Liège free agent Oguchi Onyewu !?
Smells a lot like Aldo is jumping on the PR bandwagon again… To be fair the Gooch , as they say, has expressed his desire to play in Italy or Spain and has now been rumoured to be going much pretty much anywhere in the Big 3.Altough Aldo has mentioned the Big Syracuse bred Central back’s name in the past, it’s highly unlikely he’d be coming to our favourite Tuscan Serie A town but i think this rumour has picked up because of the American Army Base in Livorno, Camp Darby. Livorno having a semi-big american community out there so the gooch,as they say, might feel closer to Home (He does talk about never adapting to European culture in the video below)

Here’s a bunch of unorganized,misspelled, mercato ramblings
Francesco Ceravolo leaves Livorno a winner and New DS is Nelso Ricci and he’s been working overtime already…
Spoke to Milan :
Ricci: Yo Galliani ! I’ll give you a cool Million and 50% of Cesena mid Diniz for all of Romano Perticone ?
Galliani : Ok
Ricci : Sweet! Thanks Uncle Fester
Then spoke with Juve :
Went something like this : Yo Secco ! You know how Rizza and Volpe are in comproprietà…well how about you keep Volpe and we keep Rizza ? (covering the phone while he’s laughing) Secco : Let me get back to you on this one. And please charge Dario Knezevic’s return to YOUR purolator account !
We’ll see what we do with him once he gets here. Rizza was won at le buste by Livorno with a 100 000 $ bid.
Met with Parma :
Ricci : How about that Cristiano Lucarelli fellow ? We’re looking at a 2 year loan and we’ll pitch in Massimo Loviso, Guidolin likes him no? How about Dario Knezevic…? Ghirardi\Leonardo : We’ll call you back. Spinelli now saying 99% sure Lucarelli will be back
Meanwhile Spinelli is calling Walter Mazzari, Mario Beretta and just got Antoni Conte’s number…

After a heartbreaking drop to Serie B last season Livorno are finally back in Serie A after only one season. Promotion to Serie A for a Livorno fan is like winning the Scudetto for a Roma fan (Hey, it happens almost as often) That second half was the most fun i had watching a football match since the last 5 minutes of Italy – Germany 2006 (Andiam’ a Berlino Beppe !). Tavano’s header off a Diamanti capolavoro to make it 1-0 55 minutes in 1-0!… 7 minutes later…Bergvold’s flying down the left wing on a promising counter and floats a cross in the box that’s clearly going over Danilevicius (and you have 1.3 seconds to think : why the fuck did you do that !? u stupid mutherf…) just to see Diamanti come out of nowhere,enter the cameras view and just smacks in a sweet (ass) right footed volley and make it 2-0 !!! Then some beautiful images of Caracciolo (Mr. Uber Crap) whining and getting more and more frustrated, About 50 carabinieri in riot gear lined up infront of the pissed off Brescia fans (I’m pretty sure i heard them singing the Kaiser Chiefs ; I predict a Riot in unisson) and poor little Taddei, Brescia’s Pisa born craptastic trequartista (OK he’s decent but it’s not my fault he’s from Pisa!), was battling it out like a Vampire Devil in garlic flavoured holy water….then 75 minutes in…Livorno counter…Danilevicius(!) with a nice little side-heel to Bergvold who slaps in a curling left footed shot !!!!… GOL!GOL!GOL! Chi non salta è un Pisano !!! Chi non salta è un Pisano !!! Chi non salta è un Pisano !!! Serie A PorcA la MadoscA ! 15 minutes later the pitch is invaded by 20 000 crazy Livorno fans !!!
Not only is this Promotion extra special seeing how we should have finished first or second in the standings, it’s the fact that we eliminated Brescia, a team trascinata by a Pisano, Riccardo Taddei !, on a year where Pisa get demoted to Serie C !!!
A!?!!?…HAHAHA…A…AHHH ! Chi non salta è un Pisano !!!
