    we've havent got a single striker who could score a goal like that.

    They'd lost every match in Serie A until that. They're on a roll now, next up Udinese!

    I knew he had scored but assumed it was a scramble on the goal line.
    Spectacular!

    Still hold an interest in Serie A from the good old days of Football Italia. My team is Internazionale with a very soft spot for Grande Torino.


    The season is over. The old lady of corruption won another title their ninth in a row. Internazionale finished second while Atalanta Bergamo came third and are of course still in the CL and who I am hoping will win the whole thing. The capocannoniere was Ciro Immobile , the assists race being won by the dimunitive Papu Gomez of Bergamp. Player of the season was Paulo Dybala outshining a certain Ronaldo. Szczesny was a controversial winner of the best custodian award. Musso kept more clean sheets than anyone for Udinese and faced far more shots behind a far weaker defence. His tracking and anticipation is excellent. And of course we now have no chance of seeing him at Vicarage Road.



    Lecce, Brescia and SPAL all returned to serie B. Two of the clubs replacing them are from the southern divide of Italy. Benevento and Crotone the former managed by Pippo Inzaghi. Benevento of course being the ancient Beneventum founded as Moogling knows by Diomedes returning from the Trojan War. Crotone is an ancient Greek colony and the club and town remain proud of their Greek heritage. Two former inhabitants of serie A Pescara and Perugia will contest the final spot for promotion via the playoffs.

    Next season with Sarri sacked by Juventus expect more of the same possibly with a stronger challenge from Internazionale and Milan. I hope Atalanta retain their squad. Theirs is a story of a small town club working wonders and a club with a reputation for developing players. All the while their success in the CL has been overshadowed as in much of Italy by the ravages of the pandemic and how their trips may have accelerated it's infection rate. This week they will be without one of their midfield dynamos the grossly underrated Slovenian Josip Ilicic for personal reasons. This may have a rather detrimental effect on their high up the pitch possession based system which is fluid and exciting as they come. Hoping that they beat PSG nonetheless. They stick out like a sore thumb among the other teams sponsored by nations and the super rich.

    Atalanta restart their Champions League campaign tomorrow, hope they do well, they have a real chance against a rusty PSG who are without Mbappe I believe. Watched a lot of them this season, an incredible team to watch, far better than anyone you see in the so-called Best League In The World™️

    Agreed. They just go for it. Doesn't matter who they play or where.

    Quite enjoying this game oddly enough. Maybe I'll start supporting Atalanta.

    Scum have equalized. :mad: And scored the winner. Zero interest in this **** show now. The turds from Abu Dhabi and Qatar will no doubt fight it out or those winkers from Bayern.

    I think a PSG - City final would be the last nail in the coffin. Football after that can **** off
