Mussolini signs for Lazio

[Flavour]

Obviously he is a fascist. His mum is a well-known fascist. "Apolitical" my arse, that is lazy reporting if the guardian journo reported that. I won't bother opening it cos I've already read the story in the Italian press. What the Lazio fans are no doubting creaming themselves over is the opportunity to chant his (sur)name once stadiums fill up again. Imagine this, but with Mussolini.

At least the training sessions will run on time.

Looking for positives - I suppose at least he'll get to training to run on time.

Sorry stavros, you're more 70s British Rail than you are 30s Italy

Right back? Surprised he's not going to be deployed on the right wing...

I'm going to re-read both the PDC and suurez threads now, as i have a spare half hour.

There's a darts thread? Where?

I'm a bit confused as to why you think Lazio want to weed out fascists from their club. Fascism is absolutely intrinsic to Lazio and given it's not exactly getting less fashionable I'm not sure why they'll see having a Mussolini in the squad as a problem, nor want to 'weed out' a huge portion of their fanbase

So does that mean when we used to do 'Goooooooooooooooooo Laziooooooooooo' like they did on the telly, we were unwittingly shouting on a fascist club..?

He started out on the left, but drifted ever rightwards.

Bit like the politics forum.

Here's what he'll be wearing in training.

They were actually shouting Golaccio, but they made it sound like Go Lazio.

Believe me, I'd love to be in a Roman bistro right now, con o senza La Gazzetta dello Sport .

I suppose with what happened to grandad he would always be a defender; hanging around the edge of the opposition box would probably bring back too many bad memories.

 

[Sasaferrato]

His mum says that both she and he are apolitical, no interest. Won't stop his name from being a rallying call for the same people who cheered Di Canio giving the Roman salute though.

IIRC Di Canio managed Sunderland, indeed saved them from going down.

My mate, a Sunderland supporter, described his management style as 'by hand grenade'.

Indeed he did. I think it was at Villa the home supporters had a banner saying "Your grandad didn't play for fascists, he shot them."
