With so much drama with the bianco-celesti it’s kinda hard being a Tifosi…
Poetry it’s what I do for you. At this point any fun that can be poked at Lazio is welcomed. On a day to day basis we’re a joke. Enough said. From transfer clamoroso’s with our Golasa friend in Israel, to the revolving court door that continues to blow the wind of Claudio Lotito in and out times are excruciating to say the least. If it wasn’t raining in Rome already it surely is pouring now, and we can all be meteorologists and say “we told you so” but when a pompous, arrogant, Haughty. Yes I just used the word haughty, Is in charge your set for a recipe of disaster. If he wasn’t so clueless yet outspoken I wonder if we would hate him as much. According to the almighty Lotito not to surprise anyone but he reaffirmed that he’s at Lazio for life. Ballardini our ace of a coach we can’t be as sure. What we do know is as he’s definitely on a different level of a joke than “C.L.”. His rep didn’t get any help from injured Matuzalem who spoke out about the confusion Davide has instilled in the minds of the boys with his constant tactical changing. One thing is for sure, he better have the right wizard cap on for tomorrow’s game which all of a sudden is more important than a traditional “big match” versus a Milan or a Juventus like last week. Catania sit two points behind us and can leapfrog us with a win. On the positive side of things some of our new debutantes will make appearances in tomorrows match while Catania have only won one game on the road this season. The first 15 minutes will be absolutely crucial in instilling a winning mentality by taking the game to the Sicilians. Although nothing is confirmed the formation Ballardini has been rolling with in training looks like this: Lazio (4-3-1-2)
86 Muslera; 87 Diakitè, 25 Biava, 26 Radu, 11 Kolarov; 4 Firmani, 33 Baronio, 15 Hitzlsperger; 5 Mauri; 20 Floccari, 10 Zarate. A disp: (88 Berni, 28 Stendardo, 80 Dias, 6 Dabo, 2 Lichtsteiner, 74 Cruz, 9 Rocchi) All. Ballardini
Indisponibili: Foggia, Matuzalem, Brocchi, Bizzarri, Del Nero, Meghni
Squalificati: nessuno
Diffidati: Foggia, Firmani, Baronio

Now onto the fun stuff,
This past week saw a congregation of some of Toronto’s finest Lazio fans join together to witness the refereeing hypocrisy that was Saccani against Juventus. In The North Curve Episode 10 I welcome some past guests and some debut’s as well. Some might be familiar with their work from the Lazioforever forum. In no particular order meet David (Aquile89), Adrian DiDomenico, Julian McNaughton who put in a spectacular job with his camera work, Joseph Ieraci, Davide Ferrara (PiaFidelis), Emanuele DeDonno (CurvaNord), Paolo Barba, and Pietro Cioffi. Together they give some post-match comments, our individual views on the transfer market, and the state of The Biancoceleste
Enjoy and Forza Lazio.
