I love pasta and pizza - without cheese though. As for Italian football. It's boring. Much prefer German footy.
Frapalin , Italian football supporters are very passionate , I have read two good books on the violence that surrounds it, one of them about fans that followed Hellas Verona.
On the flip side I also read about the miracle of Castel del Sangro, (or something like that as it was a long time ago) ,and it was about the rise of a very small town team in Italy and its rise to serie B.Another good read
Ciao Bello,
Not to be confused with the Bellend that once played for us.
Forza Azurri!
Tim Parks 'A season in (with?) Verona' - read it about 4 times after a holiday to Lake Garda and a visit to Verona (Hellas are now my second team as a result - relegated to the third tier, and promoted back to Serie A this season - hoping for parallel fortunes for the City). Check out Tim Parks other books (an Italian Education and another about holidays - forget the title - great reads) I'm going to check out that Castel del Sangro one when I get a moment - let me have the title, author if you can get it. Cheers Rev
Skyblueharry, I also follow Hellas Verona since reading that book, they really struggled on the pitch after I read that but I still followed them afterwards, some of the away days those hardcore fans had were very violent. You got to know the main characters really well and loved their long journeys on the coach, and the many stops they used to make, which nearly always involved more trouble.
The other book is called The Miracle at Castel di Sangro by Joe Mcginiss where he followed, and lived, amongst the community of this small town up in the mountains in Italy.It covers the football clubs unexpected rise from the minor leagues up to serie B. You get to know the main characters really well , not just the football club but the small community and was well written IMO, but the rise was short lived and they are back amongst the also rans now. Good read and is available on amazon I think
Thanks a lot to all of you for your nice welcome, I'm very happy to make your knowless and I hope that everyone can share this passion with me. You're a very big group of people so is very hard to answer to everyone of you, but my friendship is going to all of you.
In those days I'm very busy at work, but I try to take part at discussions at best I can. Well, so we've a lot of days to prepare the next match against Bradford, we're in a good moment and we can look to a good score in our season.

Allora Frapani, Come mai tieni per i "Sky Blues"?
Ho mangiato carne alla zinghera, guidavo una Lancia, e bevuto Grappa...... ho piaciutto tutte........ ma la nebbia e il calcio italiano fa proprio schiffo.:guitar2::guitar2:
All our hearts are beating my friend. They are all beating in the same direction and in the hope that we can get clear of all the rubbish that is going on at the moment.

I enjoy your translation :claping hands:...i like life
Where's the scam? If he's lying about being from Italy, all it's resulted in is people talking about Italy.
Ok, what is the 'this' that people are falling for?
Noooooooooooooooo!!!!When I posted as psgm1 it fell apart as I lost the backstory and just went in snarling.
Thanks a lot, mates.
The "Forza Juve" is not good:sarcasm:but I don't follow italian orrible football (but I come from Juventus's town)...
Had loads over the years, a Sedici now and a little Panda.
I'm not on Facebook, so unfortunatly I'm not the people that you see posting something on Facebook. Could you link me the page you see? :thinking about:It's not a wind up i've seen Francesco posting around on Facebook, unless someone is impersonating the guy from Facebook but i doubt it.
I don't support them, but the real team of Turin's people is Torino FC (or Torino Calcio, with the old and historical denomination)Torino then?? I played football in Italy when I was 11 and was made very welcome by the family we stayed with - and was presented with a Torino kit (I still have it somewhere)!!
Ahahahahahahahah very funny ahahahahahI'm told that the name Fiat was derived,, due to their cars unsurpassed reliability, after the words "Fix It Again Tony"?
Hei mate, remember that "pirla" in italian is a bad word, is like to said "idiot". Be careful when you use these terms with italian peopleVabene pirla, ti saluto.
Spero che L'Italia Ha visto la fine Di quel stronzone Berlusconi.

Yes mate, you can use "pirla" if you are speaking with friends; for me is not a problem, I know that with you I'm in a group of friends ;-)Ciao picciu,
