Their trouble is average players on obscene long term contracts that no one else will take on. For every decent player they can still attract, there'll be umpteen more who will go elsewhere in search of CL footy. It's a massive rebuilding job and I expect that they're fecked for several years yet. Enjoy it! Utd are getting left well behind now There's 6 teams getting CL football and money next season so they're hardly likely to beat any of those to decent players They need to build a decent squad that can compete with a proven manager who has done it before I thought Almiron had just inherited a bad squad and culture to begin with, but there's nothing to suggest he will turn it around, if anything they've got worse Watching last night, it was clear it wasn't working and he did nothing to change it for 70 mins He's no better than IE who could probably do a decent job when a decent squad in the Portuguese league, because it's shite

I'm probably going to get stick for this but as far as news goes I mainly watch the ABC and although they do mention Ange more than other Premier League managers they don't indulge in that degree of hyperbole.

No stick from me sir. You are correct about the ABC and hyperbole. More left than the BBC so I'll pass thanks.
May 23, 20251 yr Big night in serie a tonight Whilst inter and Napoli playing at same time Seems Mad to me that last match of the season still staggered over the weekend Same in Spain

Europe chasing and relegation will all go together As I type, the missus is gabbering to la famiglia via WhatsApp call. They are a nervous fucking wreck. A busload heading up the road from Salerno to Napoli ready to party but shitting themselves. To compound matters, Salernitana are in a perilous position facing a Serie B relegation playoff two legger against Frosinone which was sensationally postponed as it may not need to be played due to Brescia (who ended up 15th) being investigated for staff and player payment irregularities. They are owned by Massimo Cellino - former owner of Leeds United. Would be a miraculous escape if Brescia were deducted points and relegated instead. No doubt the mad buggers would be putting it down to divine intervention and throwing extra euros in next Sundays collection tray. Still digesting the fact that Sampdoria of Mancini, Lombardo etc. fame relegated to the third tier. Genoa fans still celebrating this! My Genoa fanatic mate Renzo calls them 'la fottuta Doria'. Truly despises them.
May 23, 20251 yr Samp may survive. Brescia have been docked 4 points which puts them in a relegation play off. Brescia are now suing. Salernatina are suing as they want to play Froisone. It’s truly very Calcio. All play offs suspended

Europe chasing and relegation will all go together aye, seen that in Spain in previous seasons guess if everyone with something to play for was playing someone with something to play for, they'd have to play them at the same time which I'm sure the TV companies would hate to have to do

Nothing is sacred anymore.
May 23, 20251 yr Lukaku there. Proper number 9. Strong as an ox, skillfull and banging finish. False number 9s my fucking arse.

There'll be deaths, folk absent from home/work for days and weeks with no explanation, the Camorra will take advantage of the commotion to settle a few scores again - carnage. In this house alone, the missus is now unconscious - not Rohypnol but emotional overload after 20 odd calls from excited family and watching the trophy presentation etc. I must make the most of this lull. My immediate future is laid out and will involve a tidal wave mulinyana, orzata, pasta fagioli and other Neapolitan delicacies plus a lingerie drawer which will be open for at least a week and probably a fortnight. I will be an empty husk by mid June. Show some sympathy FFS.
May 23, 20251 yr The mural with banner AVANTI SCUGNIZZI just before KO was inspirational. All of the northern insults would have had a workout in the build up as motivational tools - terroni, cafoni, the works. It doesn't just work in the political arena. Vafanculo polentoni!
May 24, 20251 yr Just flicked the telly on before work and TNT is still on with Aukland v Melbourne live. Might fuck work off it looks important What's the script Bolty is it a play off or summet?
