I suppose we always knew it would happen someday, but I never could have thought that I would ever see the day where it would actually happen, as such. It was in the wee hours of the 24th day of January, in the year 2012, that Italian international (You will never know the limitless pleasure I derive from calling Him that) Amauri put pen to paper on his transfer from Inte… sorry, Juventus, signing a six month contract with Fiorentina. Your humble scribe would like to take a moment or 500 to honour this man, a true legend for both club and country, a player who, regardless of your opinion on him, will certainly be remembered, even if it is nought but memorial in the same way that a particularly gaudy near-death experience would hold the conscious captive.

If all this seems a little familiar, that's because it is. Inter and Napoli met last year in a Coppa Italia quarterfinal. The game was a stalemate through to 120 minutes, went to penalties, and poor Lavezzi sent his over the bar. Inter went through and Napoli stayed home. This ...
