    Domenico Criscito

    Sorry man, I have to go with some of the others on this one. We could use a taller, more muscular, generally more physically imposing figure at the back! Criscito at 20 can still develop his frame, but in the meantime...

    Vieira: I hate Materazzi

    Does anyone else remember Vieira's statement last summer when he had just joined Inter, which went along the lines of "Marco is a different person entirely when off the pitch." He went on to say he could even see the day they might be friends...

    [ITA] 2007 SuperCoppa: Inter - Roma

    As Roma are my 2'nd favourite team, I'm obviously over the moon that they won tonight, although I have to say there were moments when I thought that once again they would fail against Inter, particularly at the stadio Meazza! It just goes to show though, there's sometimes more than just skill &...

    He's only substituting salmon for the chicken & ham...it's still a carbonara, hence the cheese mixed in and sprinkled on top. But if you're not convinced, let me say that fish is widely used in the making of many different pasta dishes all over Italy, & parmesan on top would always be expected...

    I don't believe in private +reps. But even if I did, this deserves a public one!

    The current affairs thread

    That's probably about right...one of my female cousins (obviously an Italian Catholic) married a Jewish guy years ago & she had to study for ages which worked out not so badly for her because his parents objected to their son marrying a shiksa or non Jewish woman, & Tony had to wait nearly 10...

    Did I say I thought the guy in your avatar is John Cleese? Now I'm convinced he wrote the above post as well...!!! :lol2: Nah...we all know you're one of the better satire merchants in here!

    Surprised you didn't mention Scotch pie & chips! I used to enjoy the odd plateful with a "dollop" of HP sauce when I was in Scotland. I was also quite partial to a Forfar bridie but finding a good one wasn't always easy...

    Serie A TV rights 2007/2008

    Exactly the reasons I'm not into it...but I can't deny it works provided you accept that you can't always depend on your personal contacts. So what's left? It's pretty pricey & here's why... The horizon or Atlantic Gate as it is known in the trade is what geographically prevents a general...

    Check out the above, when you're through with the Godfather, Boz...as I said before, it's worth your attention!

    The secret is to add flour a little at a time & often, rather than trying to get a perfect dough straight away. For 4 people, take 4 large potatoes (baking potato size) or 6 smaller size. Boil in slightly salted water, mash, leave to cool. Add 1 beaten egg & again just a little salt. Then add...

    Learning italian

    Yes, you do, if only even for a half hour. The real secret of any language is you have to think in that language. If you try to translate from one to the other, you're never going to be able to hold a conversation. Years ago I found tv a great help, especially for picking up "street talk" &...

    David Trezeguet...his 1'st of 2 against Roma because of the fast, well worked double pass assist!

    Trofeo TIM 2007

    My secret to gnocchi is to gradually add the flour to the mashed potatoes & egg. Practice tells you when you have the correct consistency. Some people mistakenly add the potatoes to the flour & then wonder why they've created bullets... Even worse, there's those who use semolina! No self...

    Pakistan Zindabad!!

    Juve: In the Argentinian festival checking Riquelme

    Ahmed, believe it or not I actually stopped listening to him when he started talking about how we played well against Inter... As it happens, the most interesting item at the moment on both Rai & Mediaset is nothing to do with Juve. The Cassano to Sampdoria move is finally official. Well, he...
