(The reason Monty and Pazzini are fighting has a name: It's Osvaldo.)
The Viola are in second place in Serie A right now, people. That's right: They're officially good.
The Lazio match was ragged and ugly and the only goal came as the result of a horrible error but, hey, that's the sort of game good teams win, right? Right. And the UEFA Cup match agains Elfsborg was a thrashing: Up 2-0 with five minutes gone (BOBO!); final score 6-1. Hells yeah.
I know I'm usually all about Monty, but I must confess to a secret love for Mutarelli.

Look how KGB-ish he is!
*ahem* Right. Moving on.
Pazza got his starting spot back and was his usual, princess-y self.
Alright, he's slightly tougher than your typical princess.
Definitely tougher.
And then he scored, thanks to this giant blunder by poor Belotta.
And, as usual, was frightfully pleased with himself.
Also pleased was one Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, whose intense interest went a long way towards explaining the Monty/Pazza feud.
So doing it.
Yay!
Speaking of Osvaldo.
He's sort of a pimp.
And also? Only 20, and just called up into the Azzurrini squad, despite being Argentine.
Also playing were:
Mutu, who only played a bit but was victim of some classy, racist abuse.
And Kroldrup, who just got a call up to the Danish national team.
And my beloved Kuzmanovic, who got hurt. *sniff*
And Pasqual.
And Potenza, who Google translate calls "Power."
And then, there were the Swedes, who had no idea what hit them.
All sorts of non-regulars played and most of them scored.
Hai Osvaldo.
He didn't score, but did some assisting.
You know who also played? Balzaretti.
Who, I daresay, is hot as balls.
Jorgensen was the MAN.
He scored twice.
I'll show you a few other people who played before we get to the celebrations, and the Bobo.
Pasqual!
Holy crap, Vanden Borre got a start!
Oh, Donadel. *shakes head at the horror that is his hair*
Can't forget Semioli, who I think assisted on four of the six goals.
Aw, and Primavera star Samuel Di Carmine made a brief appearance, and score his first-ever goal for the senior squad.
BOBO!
Is he actually accelerating PAST someone here? Is that possible?
*dies*
He scored in the fifth minute on a sweet volley.
Jorgy was stoked.
Actually, everyone was stoked. I can't tell the celebrations apart, so they're all going here.
Osvaldo = whore
Hel-LO Balzaretti.
*shudder*
And, finally, a question:
When the hell did Kroldrup get hot?!
Next is fifth-place Udinese at home. HUUUUUUUGE game. HUGE.
