magnkarl Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 7 minutes ago, sne said: The mafia controlling the waste industry and dumping everything into the Mediterranean no longer working? I asked an Italian staying next to our airbnb, and he said that Neapolitans don't really care, their city might be engulfed in lava in 2 hours so everything is just 'whatever'. It's weird how Catania, right under Mount Etna, can manage to keep a tidy city while everyone in Napoli is busy making their city a stinking mess due to a volcano that likely won't hit them in Napoli but rather hit Torre Annunziata or Torre Del Greco further along the coast. I think it's a mentality thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Considering all he's done for them, this is appalling behaviour by whoever's running Napoli's TikTok account: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66933115 Quote Victor Osimhen's agent Roberto Calenda has threatened to take legal action against Napoli after the club mocked the striker on social media. Napoli shared a video on their TikTok account showing the striker missing a penalty against Bologna, with a high-pitched voice saying ''gimme penalty please" dubbed over the top. The post has since been deleted. "We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor," Calenda wrote on X. "What happened today on Napoli's official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable. "A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted. A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news." Osimhen was seen questioning manager Rudi Garcia when he was taken off in the 86th minute of Sunday's goalless draw against Bologna. Nigeria international Osimhen joined Napoli for a club-record 81.3m euros in the summer of 2020 and he was integral to helping them win a first Serie A title in 33 years last season, scoring 26 goals in 32 league appearances. The 24-year-old - who was heavily linked with Chelsea and Manchester United this summer - has scored three goals in six appearances this campaign.

His Name Is Death Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Apparently, there's another one: They're both incredibly bizarre. The way they're trying to humiliate him (despite being one of the best strikers in the world and making a huge contribution to their league title) must ultimately come down to him being black.

They're both incredibly bizarre. I was expecting maybe their fans to do some racist stuff when he would eventually leave, but that’s slightly shocking that a football club can do this. Especially he’s one of the main contributors to their league last year. This is the thanks he gets, it’s sad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Name Is Death Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I wonder what's worth more, one of the best players in the team or some TikTok views? Oh wait, I'm not thinking like a social media specialist, am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 It's a bit of a strange one as I do wonder who posts these club updates. I can't imagine Chris Heck oversees every Villa tweet so probably some rogue employees At end of the day I can see a compromise. Employee gets sacked and Oshimen gets a pay bump with a release clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Big fan of Italian football growing up in the 90s, and so was my work colleague and we was speaking about it today . Think I’m going to start watching the games again. Just something iconic about Italian football and it’s clubs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 This is one of the most bizarre things I've seen.

sne Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Juve ending their contract with Pogba after his second doping test shows positive as well. Looking at a long ban for Pogba and a lot of money saved for Juve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Really interesting video from Tifo. Now the tax break is over, it'll be interesting to see how that affects the Italian clubs in Europe over the next few seasons. Not a fan of the traditional big clubs, but seeing Atalanta and Napoli come to the fore over recent years has been refreshing. I hope that we don't see things default back to the Milan clubs and Juve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
