So, two weeks ago I went to my 35th Derby della Capitale and as you know the score didn’t go as I wanted! I must admit I was a little bit broken after the game - here is my full account of the weekend!

I must be mad but the adventure continues as I try to complete #the38 for #SSLazio.

I’m on the #FlixBus to #Genoa - those who know me know I’m a Princess so hoping this adventure works out … it’s much cheaper and so far so good!

Padova is a lovely city - I was there in the summer so lots closed but I’d like to go back and see more. A very cool place! The Scrovegni Chapel was incredible - we loved it

Once again the trip itself was fun and enjoyable but the football didn’t go as I wanted!

It’s a little long but some fun stories … in particular my baldness (not to be confused with boldness).

Agreed … I am pleased to say it’s better than 20 years ago but sometimes there are still elements. I’m pleased it does now seem a minority rather than majority - Lazio has a left wing group based out of the Distinti Sud (Lazio e Liberta) who are doing some good work.

If I’m correct - Adolf is now banned as a name in Germany.

Admittedly you don’t see many Benito’s these days …

Certainly not this one!

But I know what you mean about the cunt move!

And maybe as well a power move to use for his advantage! Maybe I’m being cynical but not so sure!

And let not forget he chose to use the Mussolini name - he didn’t have to as Mussolini was on his maternal side.

Apparently though he is supposed to be decent but with his name and family I hope he doesn’t return to Lazio next summer - we already get enough bad press!

Yesterday Irish football lost a true character, who seemed universally liked. Taken far too soon.

One year ago we lost #Sven - for most … if not all #Lazio fans this was a hard one to take.

I’m pleased I got to see him when he came to say bye to Lazio fans.
