AWWWW, IT IS SO GOOD TO BE BACK.

> Don’t Call It Comeback… Actually, Please Do.

- After watching both Roma V.S Napoli and Chievo V.S Reggina, I must say my eyes where hurting after all the jumping between the 2 games. We where facing a a strong Reggina, still being in Serie B form and NO OBINNA but we came out with all 3 points. I must say that it felt SO F*^%@ GOOD to see the boys prove themselves.

All the goals made today

- Recap – Most of the action came late in the second half:

Lineup
————-Squizzi————–
Matago Mandelli Vinicio Manovani
————-Italiano————–
–Bentivoglio——Marcolini—–
Lucianio——————-Iunco
————Pellisier————

Subs

Bogdani
Pinzi (84′ in for Marcolini)
Moro
Sorrentino
Patrascu
Langella (60′ in for Iunco)
D’anna (56′ in for Luciano)

— A bullshit penalty was given against Chievo in the 72′. Corradi converted with a great shot at the top of the net.

— After the B.S penalty, Chievo turned up the heat with brilliant control of the midfield that did not allow Reggina time to pick their nose; nonetheless score. Did not take long for Chievo to get justice (3 minutes to be specific). Chievo was awarded a well deserved penalty after a unintentional handball and a foul at the SAME TIME.

— Marcolini converted the PK on the 75′.

— Just when it seemed that the points where going to be split, Italiano (what a name) scored a screamer to the near post that GK- Campagnolo handled horribly.

— In the 90′ we where brought down to 10 men after a clumsy challenge made by (SUBSTITUTE) Langella that had him seeing red.

—- Reggina got WAY physical in stoppage time, getting 2 yellow cards. In the end, our beautiful flying donkeys came out with the win in the Serie A debut.

Esposito

— Recent false reports of Roma right fielder Mauro Esposito forced me to believe that the man was signing to Chievo. A deal has not been struck yet and it believed that if the deal DOES go through, Esposito will replace Iunco who is most likely headed to Fiorenze.

— I want Esposito. He did not settle well in TGIP’s (Spalleti) plans and had virtually no playing time. One highlight of his 2007/2008 run was against Parma. The awesome back heel to Francesco Totti that set up a his beauty of a GOAL. I think Esposito would provide much needed creativity to the attack. I doubt the signing will happen since we are hours away from the close of the transfer window and still no Espo.

Next Game

Prediction- This is a treat. Two promoted teams going face to face. It IS an away game but i think we will come home with the win
Score: – 3-1
Scorers – Chievo – Pellisier (34′ 46′), Bentivoglio (86′) Lecce Guillermo (24′)
