Napoli 0-0 Palermo in the 50th min

it's an important match for both teams, i think Napoli will push for the win as they want to solidify their place in the top 3

Pretty boring game as well tbh.

almost worthless

90th min still goalless

Suits me fine

Napoli finally scored Maggio right at the end, bollocks.

It was offside as well

Zamparini is going to be FURIOUS.

And it was over the added on time, wow.

looked very offside indeed, saw it one time though.

but how many times did Napoli pull this kind of shit at the last second like that ffs.

It was offside and Maggio almost missed it.

Linesmen in Serie A make me laugh.

wow Palermo didn't show up at all, they were there for whooping all night.

Official: Napoli sign Ruiz



Napoli have announced that they have completed the signing of Espanyol centre-back Victor Ruiz.

The 21-year-old centre-back joins on loan until the end of the season.

He will then sign on a permanent basis in June, putting pen to paper on a four-year deal.

Jesus Datolo, the Napoli midfielder who has been on loan with Espanyol, will now sign outright for the Spanish club.

Ruiz was in Italy today to take care of the paperwork.

He will return to Barcelona and hold a Press Conference to bid farewell to Espanyol.

Don't know much about him, anyone?

Hello everyone, Napoli - Juventus 3-0 Cavani, Cavani, Cavani.. Why Juvejay don't tell to the forum?
Napoli at the moment are second in serie A, we are in round of 32 in europa league against Villarreal

we are part of the group of the few teams that apply the financial fairplay.. we will be one of the best europa's team!
Thank's Aurelio..

welcome Aurelio, there is a thread in the Roma forum for the Napoli game, stick around and let's hope you lose

Hello Bob, we did have a match thread

Capitano my name is Roberto, Aurelio De Laurentiis is the president of Napoli.. our benefactor!

3 game ban for Lavezzi for spitting.

So let's clear this up:

4 games - punching
3 games - headbutting, spitting, diving

the source of one of the greatest quotes in the history of football transfers.

4 games - punching
3 games - headbutting, spitting, diving*

*depending who you play for.

oh yes and a 2 games ban for insulting a 4th official when normally you get a yellow card for it in a game

Lol wtf, seriously is this the Inter bods at work?

Anyway I said Cavani always scores when I watch Napoli...I just started watching half hour in and Cavani missed a pen, but Zuniga scored.

A Napoli player just got deliberately kneed in the face...and Hamsik got booked, wtf

HT 1-0 not quite sure how Catania still have 11 players on the pitch...

Thought half time was taking longer than usual, my stream had frozen on the stats screen missed 1st 5 mins of the 2nd

WHAT THE HELL?!

A Napoli attacker turns and is held back by the Catania defender, he continues to fight to keep the ball, while the Catania defender holds his leg at one point and then trips him...Free kick to Catania

Ok Ok...

Cavani runs and is held back again and again and again for a good 15 yards...then he gets tackled from behind IN THE BOX...the ref gives....nothing. This is disgraceful.

It's difficult to not see Napoli in the CL next season. Hopefully they can keep their players and coach for the actual competition...

a very important win for Napoli
now they play Milan next week keepin the 3 points gap , if they can come back with a win or a draw then it will be huge turning point in the scudetto race

Napoli lacked pace today because of Lavezzi's absence and Cavani became nervous after missing the penalty

Yeah, that was a head scratcher. He did not hesitate to give a penalty in the first half when the player's shorts (I think it was the shorts - the replay angle was awful) were pulled. How the hell did he ignore this.

The ref had an even game in most decisions, he did give some things Napoli's way but on match changing decisions the big ones he was overly biased and for the away side which makes no sense. If it had been 1 or 2 decisions I would not have thought much of it but when he booked Hamsik because one of his team mates got kneed in the face then that non pen no decision.

Have even more respect for Napoli now after pulling off a result despite a shocking refereeing display. Disappointing to see Inter only 5 points adrift especially after that shocking decision in their game, but maybe Napoli have enough fight to stay in this and fend off Inter. Milan seem to be too inconsistent right now to stay up there and it could well be only a matter of time before they slip into 2nd/3rd.

Napoli on the slide? Parma go one up, Palladino. We'll see what they are made of.

nice goal for Napoli just now by Lavezzi, brings them 2-1 over Parma

for Gallopa for kungfu kicking Hamsik


now it's 10 men Parma vs 11 men Napoli

Hamsik looks like a transvestite.

maybe he is

Hamsik is just an ugly kid, who knows how to play very well. He's completely unattractive and would look more at home in England.

Finally watched highlights of the Napoli Lazio game, what a end to end game, with Italian commentary on as well it was extra exciting. It seemed really messy at times, like how Mauri just ran right through the entire Napoli team for the first goal, and everyone seems to have long hair in the Serie A.

Hugo Campagnaro is in a serious condition in hospital after a car crash in Argentina in which three people died. His injuries aren't thought to be life threatening though.

Best of luck to him.

He's in shock but doing ok. One of his passengers was a female friend who was a policewoman. He lost both her and his agent this year.

Inler to Napoli, finally.

Juve stalled negotiations as Marotta wanted him, but then Conte came in and said he didn't want him.

What a joke lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GQA7Iot0QY

Napoli 1-2 Parma

all that Scudetto talk is getting to their head already

Hopefully they flop, but we'll see how they do with the CL as well.

Hmm... Did I hear someone say UDINESE?



Yes, I believe I did. Where would everyone else be without us?

I would like to see them go far.

Me too. De Laurentiis is a great owner. As far as owners go, I haven't seen one in any sport who I appreciate more than him. His lines are hilarious, and he says some controversial things, but what he says get through to people, and work. Obviously his talent as a director.

Calling out Villarreal as being paid off to play helped encourage his side to play serious for 90 minutes. It was probably false, but it worked.

Novara 1-0 Napoli at 70', Radovanovic with a great goal from a free kick for Novara. It's pretty clear that Napoli are having a lot of problems coping with the extra workload of playing in the Champions League, their squad isn't deep enough to be able to rotate and have fresh players for both. But this is what makes the Scudetto so difficult to win, the small teams don't care if their games against the big clubs are boring, they go for the points, Novara have been frustrating Napoli all day with their 5 men at the back. Ibra eats the small clubs for breakfast and that's why he wins championships.

It was a nice freekick from Radovanovic, Napoli aren't going to be challenging for the scudetto this season. Like you say, they just don't have the squad. They really need to make the CL spots though, and that looks difficult even now, considering there are only three.

Update, Dzemaili scores for Napoli, Novara started throwing too many men forward trying to find the second, and got caught short on the counterattack. I wouldn't put it past them to get a winner in Napoli Time, although Cavani is on the bench now.
