A couple of updates as I was too ill - and, okay, too lazy - to update last week. First, last week's game:
Cittadella 0-0 Venezia
Not a lot to say about this game - a local derby against one of the better teams in the league, so I suppose an away draw isn't too bad. Apparently we had our goalkeeper Lotti to thank for keeping us in the game.
An important result in the sense it kept our positive run going - and a nice platform for the game on Sunday:
Venezia 2-0 Novara
This wasn't an easy game on paper, but an early Gennari goal (who else?) set us on our way to a fairly comfortable victory. Marco Moro added the gloss with a late penalty in the second half.
As well as the result, the performance was a good one, which sets us up nicely for the run in to Christmas. More importantly, I hope the boys can put on a good performance like this in their next home game in two weeks, because I will be there in person to cheer them on!! (You see, there are advantages to extravagant birthday gifts to the girlfriend - I'm sure she'll be delighted to spend the afternoon freezing her ass off at the Pierluigi Penzo!)

What's the point in asking people to post comments if you dont answer them? ;o)
So from the last thread - how many teams get promoted from the division at the end of the season?
Forza Venezia and enjoy your trip. I'm sure Nicky will have a great time.
Sorry - One team gets automatic promotion, then the next four playoff for one more place.
Not that easy...
Geez, that is tough but you are at least looking good for the play-offs.
Venezian, here's a question for you. Is your goalkeeper Lotti the same man who featured large in the book The Miracle of Castel di Sangro. I'm pretty sure it must be but what a great omen.
So, I look forward to reading the Miracle of Pierluigi Penzo next season...
