History:
U.C. Sampdoria is a football club based in Genoa, Italy. The club was formed in 1946 from the merger of two existing clubs, Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria. Sampdoria currently compete in the Italian Serie A. The team's colors are blue, white, red and black. Sampdoria plays at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, capacity 41,917, which it shares with Genoa's other club, Genoa 1893.
Sampdoria won the scudetto in 1991, so far the only time in their history that they have done so, and the club also won the Coppa Italia four times (1985, 1988, 1989, and 1994). They also won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1990. Sampdoria also reached the UEFA Champions League final in 1992, only to lose out against spanish team FC Barcelona.
There has not been much success in the club in the last decade since. Sampdoria achieved a place in the UEFA Cup by finishing 5th in the table at the end of the 2004/05 Serie A season, but did narrowly lose out to Udinese Calcio in taking 4th and a UEFA Champions League spot. Sampdoria's appearance in the UEFA Cup was brief as they finished 4th in a group of 5. The team obtained 5 points from one win, two draws and a loss in Group C.

Those are some funky shirt numbers! Nice thread ;)
Sampdoria have qualified for the fourth round of the Coppa Italia after a tough 3-2 win at Bologna despite Ruben Olivera being sent off after 26 minutes. Eight Coppa Italia matches are being played tonight and this was the only one of the first group of five not to go to extra-time. Two of the remaining three are also level late in the second half.
Sampdoria will meet Palermo in round four.

Palermo next? Well think we'll be going out in that one :(

Fourth round games aren't scheduled until November (not January as in previous seasons). Teams in Europe will be fighting on three fronts at that stage and the big clubs (Inter, Milan, Roma) will use reserve teams.

Ah ok :happy: Palermo may be distracted by the UEFA Cup during that time.

They'll need to get past West Ham first ;)
Teams like Sampdoria who have played three competitive matches before Serie A even begins will now hope to take advantage of their superior fitness in the first two weeks of the Serie A season. Fixtures are to be drawn up on Wednesday.

If Sampdoria don't win away to Inter Milan tomorrow night then they will set a new club record - fifteen league games without a win.
Francesco Flachi of Sampdoria has been banned for 2 months for betting

Obtaining "information" on matches in order to aid third-party punters but close enough ;). Same penalty for Moris Carrozzieri of Atalanta.
Great comeback from Sampdoria last night, drawing 3-3 at home to Udinese after trailing 3-0 with 42 minutes gone. Probably bought Walter Novellino four days before he gets the sack.

Another person dips into this thread.
16 league games without a win is relegation form so i'm fearing the worst this season. Europe is definitely out of reach.

Grahf,why dont you make one?And I think there is one around,but I am not sure...
I like Sampdoria,but they lack fitnes if you ask me.That 3-3 draw is amazing for them,so good things are ahead.Relegation?-dont think so.

Sunday 15th October - Judgment Day Sweey!!!

Don't remind me :(
You'll have gone 15 or 16 games without a win and now you'll win two in a row - one of them against us.
TheBishop

Well we are on a great run of wins.....1. :cool:
I still can't see us winning. Falcone will get sent off yet again probably, i'll be happy with a point.

They have a wierd yet great looking emblem. I hope they do well this year, I play as them on PES more than AC Milan :ninja:
How good is Daniele Padelli?

Don't know much about him but the little I do know suggests he isn't anything special. Still, Carlo Cudicini wasn't anything special once upon a time...(and he still isn't). Just don't expect to have signed the next Buffon. Am I right in thinking you've signed him or is it yet to be confirmed?

I was expecting a reply from you ;). The move hasn't officially been confirmed but it seems likely. Isn't he an Italian U21 International?
He has to be better then Dudek :huh:

He has only one under-21 cap which he received recently.
Well that is promising then.
Is he error prone?

Not that I'm aware of but I bring you back to my earlier post: "Don't know much about him but the little I do know"...

I'm not at all surprised by his behaviour. He seems genuinely incapable of controlling his temper.
Ruben Olivera has been handed a five-match ban for his dismissal in the final minutes, as he struck Rodrigo in the stomach and then threw a punch at another opponent in the ensuing melee.

Sad to see this thread has died since i left. :(
I don't know what's gone wrong with our league form, and our UEFA Cup draw is probably the hardest group. Plus, Milan next in the league, great. :fplm:

You'll do us in with some Cassano magic. The performances haven't been bad and yet your results have been pretty atrocious.
You're up against one of the most flaky defences in the division next weekend. Decent individuals (Nesta remains injured) who need a ton of luck to come away with a clean sheet.

Cassano the only positive from this season so far.
Anyway Mr Sweey, how have you been?:w00t

2-1 away win against Partizan. Important as still have tough games against Sevilla, Stuttgart and Standard Liege. 3 straight wins in Europe though.

Rosella Sensi has ordered the Roma players into a training camp until the match on Wednesday which means they won't be going home and likely won't be allowed to speak to the press.

So if they lose against Sampdoria next week, execution will be the punishment, yes?
Obviously not Totti though.
