Empoli – Livorno, Who Cares ? (Honestly ? Tell Me)

By: Marco | Comments 5 Comments

This will not be a regular irregular preview. There’s nothing left to play for, not even pride. I mean Livorno’s season is already in the gutter. The only high point was that mini non losing streak after GC Camolese’s appointment earlier this season. Then there was Alessandro Diamanti’s and his left foot that finally came [...]

Not the happiest of times in Leghorn for the moment, the unemployement rate is still disastrous, Silvio Berlusconi gets back in to office (which must make the citizens of the PCI birthplace very proud)(what is this like the 64th Government post WW2?) and Livorno is the worst team in Serie A with very little [...]

Mercato Round Up
My heart started pumping around noon on January 31st because a Livorno fan website falsely announced that Livorno picked up Brazilian Future Star Kerlon a.k.a. Foquinha for a measly 7 M$. I hate the Showboating Seal Boy but I can’t deny the Kid has talent ) My first tought was [...]

Cellino samples Spinelli, Crying Coaches and Coco

*Livorno - Juve review here
One of my favourite Soccer Subjects is crazy owners/presidents, Serie A is a a fertile ground for the eccentric President. Being a fan of a team owned by none other than the King of Bullshit himself, Aldo Spinelli, i can understand other fans in the same crazy president situation.

By: Marco | Comments 3 Comments

Aldo Spinelli has said that he voluntarily didn’t try to sign Lucarelli. Livorno’s president said he was too expensive, that his transfer money was spent on Tavano and that his Livorno cycle had come to a definite end this summer. As of now, the Livorno winter window is made up of a Lucarelli non-signing [...]
