Atalanta gets Revenge in an Utterly Boring Match

Well, that game sucked. Remember September? Bari had come off of three straight draws at the beginning of the season, still searching for their first win. Atalanta was a disaster, having no points and having scored no goals. It was too perfect- Bari put in one of their best performances of the season, dominating Atalanta a 4-1 crushing that if anything, flattered the Nerazzurri.
We did not play like this today…
What a different match today. In general, everyone played utterly mediocre, Alvarez returned to being Alvarez. Diamoutene played ok but made too many simple errors, Donati couldn’t control the midfield, but we just couldn’t score, despite our forwards playing well. Did anyone count how many backheels Barretto did? I lost track at 7-8, he makes Totti look boring. Meggiorini played alright too, just couldn’t finish. For Atalanta, Valdes just tore our team apart with his pace and passing, a great performance.
Man of the match, not surprisingly goes to our long-time servant, and Mr. Consistent, Gillet. Several great saves kept the Galletti in the game, he was busy throughout the game due to our defenses mediocrity. He did not deserve to be on the losing side today. An utterly uninteresting game, and it looked that way for the players as well. Time to get back on our feet, and start preparing for a very difficult away game against Cagliari.
Your performances are making me lose more hair up here!

The Bari blog is back.
After a few months absence, a new blogging group has arrived, to keep you informed about all the crazy rumors, performances, and management madness that is A.S. Bari. I’m alessio and you probably either know me as Aaron (my real name) or alessio of the Juventus Offside.
My attachment to Bari comes from my father’s side of the family, where my grandfather moved from Alberona at age 20 to Bari looking for work. My grandmother on that side is originally from Gioia del Colle, about 45minutes outside of Bari and home to Nicola Legrottaglie and Sylvester Stallone’s ancestors. (My mother’s side of the family is not Italian…it is WASPs from Texas)
Thus, I have always somewhat followed Bari, during the many years of Serie B mediocrity…in my jersey collection, there is a 99-00 Cassano jersey (#18) as well as a 08-09 Serie B jersey…the final year of purgatory! My favorite Bari player is il Capitano, Gillet, without a doubt…among ex’s, I’m a big fan of Antonio Cassano and Nicola Legrottaglie. So there’s my biases out on the table.
Anyways, Mike and I (you may know him as Bari Mike) will be trying to keep this blog up-to-date as one of the best English-language sources for the Galletti. A presto tifosi biancorossi…

I’m not going to brag too much cause last time I did Bari suffered their first and only league defeat, but what I am going to say, and I think I speak for all the Bari fans around the world, is that I’m ECSTATIC! A year ago we were fighting the likes of Brescia and Albinoleffe and NOW a year later we are currently ahead of the likes of Napoli,Genoa,Roma,Udinese, and Lazio. Read the rest of this entry »

When I say fallen eagles I mean it in the sense that Lazio are not where they expected to be in the league, but they were actually in fine form this weekend and sunk the Yellow Submarine (Villareal) in the Europa League, so congrats for that. That being said, Bari is no Villareal, we are in better form and with a win this weekend against Lazio we will make a huge step towards a very promising season. Read the rest of this entry »

So as most of you know there will be no Serie A this weekend due to the international break. But the pain I’m talking about isn’t that of the break, I’m talking about Barton turning around and taking our hopes and dreams back with him to Texas. Ok, I understand that Bari are still doing great and that our talent and heart outweighs a multi-millionare president. So yes, Bari don’t need Barton but this was the man behind our dream. Barton promised us great players, a bright future and he even brought hope to the Bari fans that someday we would see CASSANO back in a Bari jersey. Read the rest of this entry »

After the hard-fought draws in our three opening games, we sent out a warning to all our other Serie A oppenents. If anyone doubted our heart and willingness to demonstrate that we belong in the Italian top flight, they were silenced last Sunday. Once again we showed what being a Bari fanatic is all about. The stadium was roaring and it was as if the Vesuvius exploted everytime we found the back of the net. It’s preciously this shouts of joy and relief that remind the world of not only who we were but who we will become. Let this be the beginning of something great and lets build up on our unbeaten record. With the heart that our ragazzi poseess we will be a force to reckon with for the remainder of the season.

Category: Team NewsVentura almost DIES! Cassano Back to Bari?
By: Eros Miranda | 19 Comments
NO, this isn’t a plot to bring Antonio Conte back (or is it?).
The incident happened as Ventura was leaving the Stadio San Nicola after Bari’s practice. He was driving along in his new AUDI A5 when out of nowhere a car destroyed his precious vehicle. His new car was a mess and Ventura was rushed to the hospital in shock. They say it was because of the accident but I think it had something to do with the way his new car ended up.
