Napoli Away

[afhald]

i agree with Pete

 

[bgblue]

Straight Outta Naples
A Crazy Olive Skinned Guy Named Luigi
From the gang called Napoli
When I'm called off I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off
You too boy if ya fuck with me
The police are paid off and won't come and get me...

...from my car wiv me mate balotelli
crashin thru tha gates of a fanny penitentiary
on point like (((((((one hundred n' eighty)))))))

poznan and some booze yeah dats how we're goin out
unlike some punkasss mooners that are havin doubt

too many mumble, tales of trouble
best ya stay home do tha dishes wipe tha table
talk about horses boltin from their stable

Goin off on awaydays like that
with a 25 man squad thats class
yet alls i hear iz be worried bout ya ass

So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a city rap to keep yo dancin
with a crime record like Charles Manson
dontcha know blow up banana is the tool
Don't make me act the motherfuckin fool

Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knockin one out to dis fixture daily
yo weekly, monthly and yearly
until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
that I'm down with the capital C-I-T-Y
plus our beer monstaz are madd gully

So when I'm in ya neighborhood, you better duck
Coz retro peter is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I'm stompin
but when I come back, boy,
I'm comin straight outta ...hiding

I ended up in Naples in 1990 for the quarter finals of the world cup when we played Cameroon its a complete shithole...Its the only hotel Ive stayed in where there were people asleep in the corridors, I can speak abit of Italian and was warned off a local in the day not to stray too far...People who live here are skint and wont think twice about robbing english tourists(especially pissed up ones)...We own 2 houses in Rome and Sicily and Im still not going to Naples...Good luck...

OK guys I'm English and something of an expert on Napoli. I'm primarily a Pompey fan but 1st went to San Paolo Stadium about 3 years ago and have been about a dozen times.
Let me say to those of you that are put off I completely understand.
However, you will be missing one of the most sensational footballing experiences of your life by not going to San Paolo. Forget Milan Juventus Roma etc for sheer atmospere San Paolo is without equal in Italy.


It is the nearest thing you will get to South American atmosphere in Europe.
Neapolitans are very different to Italians, very outgoing big hearted and very emotional. The city has historically evolved from Greek, Roman, German, French and Spanish influences. Especially Spanish. They have their own language (I don't mean dialect) but any Italian speakers amongst will have no problem.
Napoli fans are hated in Italy from Rome and all points North (excepting Genoa)and are the victims of overt racism in their own country.

You'll never see many fans from Lazio or Milan etc attending San Paolo. You'll never see an adult in Napoli wearing a Juventus shirt in the street. They are fiercley proud of their history and unification with Italy in 1860 saw them relegated into a state of decay.


Now I happened to go to the Liverpool game in Naples flying out from Gatwick. There were about 30 Scousers on my flight. I was there walking the city on those bad days for the handful who were attacked. Wrong place at the wrong time?? Yes probably.
Some advice for you. The police tolerate no nonsense. They love getting batons out but you won't have that worry...they hate the Napoli fans and vice versa. The police will make very sensible arrangements for you. They will give you a pickup point near the port. They will transport you to the stadium under massive escort. They will then return you after the game to the same place.

Some Liverpool fans talked of their terror at walking back to their hotels up the hill towards Piazza Garribaldi. So let me help you..Don't book a hotel near Piazza Garibaldi. It is one of the roughest areas in the city...it's also the station to go to if you wish to visit Pompei or Sorrento. So if you are going for a few days sight seeing don't wear scarves or shirts in this area but just act as a tourist. Wallets should be kept in front pockets preferably in tight jeans. For women watch how the Neapolitan women carry handbags and copy them. Make use of the hotel safe at all times.

Do not wear Rolex watches and no gold on wrists or heavy gold chains around the neck. Basically follow these rules and you won't attract any attention at all. Do not flash cash....and attract attention.

My advise is get a hotel near Piazza Municipio/Piazza Plebiscito. This is well away from Piazza Garibaldi. For those of you not going on organised packages I would recommend you get on the 'Alibus' at Napoli Capodicchino airport. Last time I went it cost 3 euros and makes only 2 stops. Piazza Garribaldi and Piazza Municipio. This bus is specially adapted for tourists with luggage and is much cheaper than the 20-25 euro taxi ride.
Now if you want to see more of Napoli and San Paolo click on my youtube channel my username is pete1201. I'll start you of with this one:

Napoli is a great city if you don't fear it, and you won't taste better pizza or pasta anywhere in Italy...after all this is where the real buffalo mozzarella is produced. If you need more info or tips I will be pleased to help. They say you love Naples or you hate it. There is no in between believe me...but if you are prepared to dig you may end up loving this city as much as me!!!!

Cracking first post on BM mate :P

My mother is italian and is from the amalfi coast and I've been to Naples a few times as a tourist. I love Italy and go there as often as I can to see the family all over the country but can't make my mind up about this trip. I've booked for munich already but would probably do this one on a day trip which given my family connections makes me feel a bit sad.

Lets be honest if you've followed City over the years you know the score with most places and where you should avoid. Naples is no diffferent. Every city has it's dodgy areas. Do your research and I'm sure you will be fine,

Having said that watch out for the scugnizzi doubled up on scooters. The handbag snatch or stab to the arse are a probably bit more than you would expect at Anfield or The Den!

Forza City!

I have never been to Naples but i have travelled a lot and i would be fairly confident it isn't as bad as Moston, Beswick, Ancoats or Longsight so man up you soft shites.

you've obviously never been to Naples. The whole City is 'mafia' run and some of the areas are worse then all the places you named put together.

My parents and their friends all went on a Med cruise a few years ago. They stopped off in Naples and they said it was a fucking big mistake getting off the boat. Some scrote tried to snatch me Mams bag within a few minutes of getting on land. My Dad's mate said there were people on mopeds everywhere shouting stuff at them. Then after they'd had something to eat two blokes tried to get them to follow them down an alleyway "to go to a beautiful restaurant" but when my Dad said "no thanks, we've just eaten" these blokes tried to force them to go down this alleyway. My Dad's a bit of a hard fucker and just tucked em off and they all walked back to the boat. As my Dad looked back he said there were about eight blokes stood at the top of the alleyway... anything could have happened to them!

Your dad did what?

Check out the Mancini interview on the OS put up today,first thing a journo asks him is "Is it safe?"...Mancini obviously took a moment to answer diplomatically.
