A History Of Bad Goalkeeping

By: Steven | Comments 8 Comments

If there has been one weak spot in our team in the last years, it’s most definitely the portiere. Why is it that guys who have proven their worth in the past suddenly look like U15-players when they come to Palermo? And why do we seem to change portiere every single season? Time for an overview…

International Break = Hobo Pompino

By: Steven | Comments 39 Comments

It sucks, but not in a way you want it to suck. Meh. But it gives us a little time to discuss the ways of the Lippi. If you were the Big Kahuna, preparing the Azzurri for South Africa, who would you pick and why?

I’ll give the good example myself:

Buffon
Cassani – Chiellini – Cannavaro – Criscito
Cammoranesi – De Agostino – De Rossi – Giovinco
Pazzini – Cassano

How ’bout you guys?

Preso Nel Culo In Bologna

By: Steven | Comments 53 Comments

The image says it all. The two smiling idiots were victorious. Not one player did what he had to do, so once again we did not succeed in taking home three points from Spaghettiville. We’re still only four points away from Europe, but since our 9/9 series, we managed to take only one point in three games, being outscored 8:4.

Do I want to discuss this? Nope. It’s the same thing, over and over again: somehow, this team doesn’t know how to handle crappy little teams. With soon-to-be Serie B teams Catania, Chievo and Siena coming up, we’ll be in the bottom five come december.

The ‘true fans’ are complaining that we should take it easy on the players and Zenga, and that it’s not their fault. I’m willing to let Zenga off the hook (even though his subs don’t add up) but how can we not be angry at the players? Yesterday, I didn’t see a single spark of genius in this team. This was a relegation battler’s performance at best.

However, I would like to point out that Cassani was called up for the Azzurri for the friendly games against Holland and some other country. Finally. May this be the thing that turns this shitty season into a good one soon…

Key to the Future of Palermo

By: lorenzo | Comments 51 Comments

We have the most important piece to the future of our club already in our possession. The most vital element to our organization must be kept at all costs. Without him, the future is dim.

Palermo Offside Sound-Off

By: Steven | Comments 67 Comments

Man, I hate international breaks. And with them being so far away from transfer time, there’s almost no news. Yes, both Manchesters are after Kjaer, but is that news? So, here’s something else. Since there’s been a couple of new guys lately, some questions:

* Why Palermo?
* Since when?
* One love, or Polygamy Sally?

Have phun.
