Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 11: Manchester United v Leicester City
As the clock ticked into the 94th minute, another cross was put into the Ipswich eighteen-yard box to no avail. Easily cleared and Sam Morsy, the home side captain, comes away with the ball from the wreckage.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 10: Ipswich v Leicester City
What a difference a week makes. The relief of the first win over Bournemouth followed by the jubilation of the last-minute winner at Southampton fully extinguished.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 9: Leicester City v Nottingham Forest
Friday night lights. Rivalries renewed. Forest return to LE and face their former manager. How to get the juices flowing? How do we try to build the fans to a frenzy? To boost that atmosphere as we’ve seen can occur when it gets dark down Filbert Way. Coconut Rolls. Free Coconut Rolls. That’s the answer.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 8: Southampton v Leicester City
We appreciate serious, top journalism at the Hazzetta. We’ve really felt this in a week where several tabloids went with inane and manic ramblings on the recent England managerial appointment.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 7: Leicester City v Bournemouth
Last Saturday, my friend and I went to Emirates Stadium to watch City. We were a minute late to the game as we had spent a lovely lunchtime drinking in the pubs of the very hip Stoke Newington.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 5: Leicester City v Everton
When the words ‘gladiatorial battle’ are said to you, your mind casts to those scenes from the film Gladiator. The Colosseum packed to the rafters with a crowd baying for blood.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 4: Crystal Palace v Leicester City
The untouched blue skies. The light splashing of the sea against the sands of the beach. The sun beating down. The partaking of Bob Mortimer’s novel or the completion of a puzzle or two.
International break was appearing to be quiet in the Istrian district of Croatia for myself.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024/25 - Issue 3: Leicester City v Aston Villa
The idea of Hazzetta Dello Sport is that it provides that perfect little morning read before a game to give some background to events leading up to it. It’s James Richardson Cosplay.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024 - Issue 2: Fulham v Leicester City
‘Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in’, barks Al Pacino as Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III.
Hazzetta dello Sport 2024/25 - Issue 1: Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur
There is no other club like Leicester City. We are marvellous. We are mad. We have been promoted but we are dreading the new season. The Hazzetta is back to dissect the malaise while you nurse your badly needed caffeine hit.
Hazzetta dello Sport: Blackburn, Bologna and… Balague again
Welcome to this week’s ‘Harca’, given the current Spanish feel to proceedings.
Hazzetta dello Sport: Promotion, Peroni and Preston
In the immediate aftermath of the confirmation of promotion, it was most welcome to sit there viewing social media as Leicester fans ran to the bookmarks and quotes from plenty of ‘poxy pundits’ as one great ex-City manager would say.
Hazzetta dello Sport: Villains and Saints
The Championship demands endurance and Harry Gregory is meeting the requirements with another preview, looking at the visiting Saints and a few villains for the latest edition of the Hazzetta.
Hazzetta dello Sport: Balague, Bassett and the Baggies bouncing into town
It’s a bumper preview this week from Harry Gregory ahead of yet another biggest game of the season as West Bromwich Albion arrive in LE2. But that’s not the only thing on the agenda for the Hazzetta…
Hazzetta dello Sport: Millwall v Leicester City
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that this midweek edition of the Hazzetta will be consumed at the gentle pace of a coffee but rather a more likely setting of your working commute - or maybe even trying to work out the most long-winded route across London as the railway strikes make the normal destination for Millwall of South Bermondsey unavailable.
Hazzetta dello Sport: Leicester City v Birmingham City
Settle down in the back garden of Wygston House, pull out your device and take a gulp of your cappuccino. Look across Jubilee Square. It’s Saturday morning again and it’s time for the Hazzetta preview.
