Italian Serie A Megathread

2-1 FT :icon_mrgreen::icon_mrgreen:

 

Yeah, they drop too many points against weaker teams, must be a pain the * for their fans.

Delighted that Diego Milito seems to be back to his best, another two tonight:icon_mrgreen:

 

Fs lost 3 on the trot napoli have crumbled since the game from Stamford bridge.

 

this title race is the most exciting I remember

May Faulsepoli have had at least one positive side?

.

 

Means that Napoli * my coupon

 

Same

 

Arseholes

Heard they've been a bit * recently? Not been following a lot of Italian football since the start of the season

 

Aye they've slipped out the European places altogether now. Lost 3 and drawn 2 in the last. Nothing to do with dropping too many points against weaker teams though IMO, because they've pretty much dropped points all over the league this year, if anything its the top teams they've struggled against (like Milan).

Their record against the top half: W- 5; D- 6; L- 6.
Record against the bottom half: W- 7; D- 6; L- 2.

Good thing for them is their run-in is almost exclusively against bottom half clubs, but some of them will be fighting for their lives. Interesting league this year

 

Football matches in Italy postponed, as footballer Piermario Morosini dies after collapse on pitch.

 

Marek Hamsik just signed a contract extension with Napoli that takes him through 2016

 

Referee injured in the Napoli-Novara game, hurt his shoulder. Play has been stopped for nearly 10 minutes

 

who's top of the league

 

What happened in the Genoa game ? Ultras asking for there shirts when they went 4-0 down and play had to be suspended?

 

Juventus both them and ac have 68 points but juve play there game in hand tonight, ac dropped points at home today.

 

Milan dropping points again Yessss :icon_mrgreen:


Possibly Juve's hardest game of the run-in tonight though, against Roma.

 

Genoa game was suspended for a while as they were getting beat 4-0 at home to Siena, Fans stormed the pitch and blocked the tunnel and told them to remove their shirts as they were not worthy to wear them. They are just hovering above the relegation spots and really struggling despite have some good players in the team. Most players agreed actually, with the exception of one (Sculli i think?) but the game went on after half an hour and the match ended 4-1. Crazy how much power and influence the ultras have in Italy, the players there really have to answer to the fans if they don't live up to expections unlike most other leagues where the players are sheltered and the most they suffer is a booing now and again.

Except Lennon of course, he's regularly attacked and sent bombs - but it's Scotland so thats ok.

 

Marco Rossi collecting his Genoa teammates' shirts through orders of the Ultras. Completely surreal

Malesani of Genoa gets his marching orders for the second time.

 

Unreal that.

 

As italian, I feel shame for that.
You can better understand something of italian society and football.
We're a country with 70% of *-minded, included managing class.

In Italy don't have a tradition of respect of values and strong istitution neither. Everyone thinks that what people think that is the right thing.

Calciopoli (=Faulsepoli) was born like that:
no proofs, no fixing, no money, no agreements..... nothing of nothing,
but popular feeling was that Juve were cheating, and istitution bended to that, and wanted to satisfy that tribal istinct.

It's not a case that SCULLI, the Genoa's player that fought with that, grew up in Juventus youth team.
