Guest ItalianMagpie Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Not strictly Toon related but we won the 1st "Italian Connection" trophy in Milan yesterday, a tournament organised by the most important italian sport newspaper for the italian supporters clubs of EPL teams. We thought we wouldn't even go past the first stage and our goal was just to beat the mackems (believe it or not they have a supporters club in Italy and were drawn in our group), but we ended up losing to them and winning all the other games . NUFC-QPR 2-1 NUFC-Liverpool 1-0 NUFC-mackems 1-3 NUFC-Spurs 3-1 NUFC-Southampton 2-0 NUFC-Everton 2-0. First trophy since 1969! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It means fuck all when you get beaten 3-1 off the mackems, hang your heads in shame. Trophies don't make up for that shit man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 You lost to the Mackems ergo they are the true winners MTD's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ItalianMagpie Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 We're still NETD according to their criterion, aren't we? They went out in the group stage, an that's the only game they won Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Well done but hang your heads in shame as Stifler says Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 We're still NETD according to their criterion, aren't we? They went out in the group stage, an that's the only game they won Nah, if they beat us, and we finish above/win something, they are NETD If we beat them, and they finish above/win something, they are NETD Basically, we can win some battles, but we will never win the war. Edit: If we beat them, and finish above them, they are still more classy which at the end of the day is the only thing that matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hozzo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I wish I'd known about this, as I am based in Milan, might have gone along to give some support.... where can I find more info ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Led by player-boss Massimo Assoni, the toon squad was Belotti, Corbetta, Cialone, N.Pagani, A.Pagani, Soldano, Leonesio, Adobati, Marchesini and Cairoli. You all sound like footballers Cairoli - The Italian Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hadn't thought someone could live around there, otherwise I would have posted something about it. Next year then We have a group on Facebook where you can find many pics (Italy Magpies, should be visible to non members too) and here is the dedicated website (in italian though): http://quellichelapremierleague.com/1-torneo-italian-connection/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 How easy is it to get tickets to Serie A games? Always seem half empty but i've had a quick scout on websites and apparently it's quite hard unless you're an Italian citizen as they ask to see your passport? I'm going to Sorrento in September so keeping my fingers crossed for a CL or Serie A game for Napoli. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to Sorrento in September so keeping my fingers crossed for a CL or Serie A game for Napoli. I'm not so much into it (I'm the guy who flew in from Helsinki ) but as far as I know it's damn difficult. You need some kind of a supporter card which should identify you and your "stadium history", which complicates the whole thing (without preventing violence ). If I were you, I'd stay miles away from any italian stadium, there are plenty of reasons why they're half empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hozzo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Cheers ItalianMagpie, good luck for next year... for tickets to Italian Serie A matches, I can only discuss my Milan experiences ... their (Inter, AC) websites have English versions, you can book tickets there, and go along to the stadium and pick them up (showing your passport at the time) Pretty straightforward, not too expensive ... In Milan at least, they expect tourists... (I always play 'spot the Italian' in the section I get put in... not easy amongst the Japanese, German etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
