Opposition view: Napoli on the blog now

[mcfc2112]

One thing to remember about Napoli is that the fans are fiercely proud of their own Neapolitan heritage, and that they have a rather arms length relationship with the rest of Italy.

I was on holiday (in Northern Italy) and this guy from Naples was trying to explain how annoyed he got when foreigners referred to "O Sole Mio" (the "cornetto" song) as Italian when it is in fact Neapolitan (and meant to be sung in the neapolitan dialect which is different to Italian).

It's sort of like a scottish / english thing but quite a bit more complex given that the whole of Italy is really a collection of smaller nation states (Venice / Lombardy / Naples etc) and the antagonism between the north + south of Italy is based on economic as well as cultural differences.Anyhow... welcome to any Napoli fans reading this + I'm looking forward to an exciting game.

Its that Garibaldi fellas fault...the utter twat :(

His biscuits are nice though...

Thanks all

For the first time in many years I'm working in the centre of Manchester so will be out at lunchtime tomorrow looking out for the Napoli fans.

Used to love to see opposition fans when working in Liverpool on CL match nights. Never thought I'd see the same for my club.

Poor lad seems to suffer learning difficulties so I've tidied his post up for him.

you're lucky. You have the sheikh who has invested in you, enabling you to go on and win many championships going forwards.
Manchester united only exists for your amusement now.
it's disgusting the kind of figures that are linked to our Debt for a game. if they leave the sheik to complete his master-plan then I too will be a Blue and deny all my past.
Go back where you were, which I believe is Manchester and not Trafford.
Have no history that an uneducated gimp like I can see due to Football being created in 1992.
Rag scum is just giving us all nervous break downs hence my original post.

Hello guys
My name is Francesco and I am writing from Naples.
I signed up first because I would like that our fans build a good relationship of respect and friendship (I think I remember that Oasis, fans of the City, are sympathizers in Italy of my own team, because of similar colors), and then to correct the statements about Daniele on typhus in Naples. I's commonly referred to as one of the worst in Italy, as the protagonist of the major battles. This is patently false. The worst clashes, those in which there were also victims, have never seen the fans of my team as protagonists: on the contrary, other ( Milan and Juventus fans in particular) have often been guilty of acts over the years of actual warfare . Unfortunately, these prejudices against the city of Naples and the SSC Naples are very common in Italy, and as I see, are also exported abroad. Therefore my intention is only to reassure about and invite you to come in our town without the fear of clashes with our supporters.
My hope is that Wednesday's game between our teams both played in mutual respect ... and that the best man win!
Greetings!

You are welcome. City and Napoli are brothers in Sky Blue.<br /><br />-- Tue Sep 13, 2011 5:12 pm --<br /><br />

I bet this a rag trying their 'cunning' forum hijack tactics again.
Wow, you have to admire them. They really are intelligent, original and absolute masters of disguise
