does Allegri even know that Asamoah was originally a midfielder?
Napoli and Viola are good for neutrals as well. But you won't be interested in the latter since they have Mario Gomez

I respect Mario Homez with all my heart.
That's the warmup.
I can see why this pretty standard stuff can be impressive in the Barclays Premface League
They don't even have a bench to sit on in Serie A
Mostly to cut back on costs but still
Napoli and Fiorentina look really disappointing so far. Both teams seem to have regressed in terms of quality and that's without losing any major players. Well, Fiore is without Rossi, and Gomez is nowhere near his Bayern form. They have only up to go in the following weeks / months, but if I was one of their deluded fans, I'd be very worried about the upcoming EL matches.

That it really matter in a campionato that has already been won by Roma, I ask thee?

It's all about that 2nd place now. Or 3rd. Whatever gives us some CL football.

I saw Roma's last game and they were dreadful. Almost as if THEY were managed by Allegri.

Do not let this slip
You know we will. As soon as Menez stops being awesome, which I think will be in around two weeks.
Is it true that they're changing the rules for how the teams are seeded in CL next year? They were talking about it on the telly, but I was too far gone to care. Something about league winners going automatically into Pot 1, regardless of the coefficient.
That they were, lol.

Yeah winners of the top 7 leagues+ defending CL winner. Seems pointless since it will just mean that pot 2 will be stacked.
Will lol hard if they slip up against CSKA.
Winning by being dreadful and looking like an Allegri team is the sign of champions innit ;_;
We don't even play like an Allegri team ;_; Allegri is basically failing at being an Allegri. How can one fail at being himself
Tell me elsk

The more I see and hear of Herrera I think he could be a future United captain.
United vs. QPR, the new Brazil vs. Germany at the WC.
You're probably right.

They were without Gervinho and Totti. They are a completely different team with those two in. Gervinho makes the moves that Totti loves.

Inter started off the season with a 7-0 beating of Sassuolo and then did nothing else. Inter have a long way to go, but boy Kovacic is some player. His burst of speed yesterday was amazing.
Edit:started off last season

Rio on Moyes: "Moyess innovations led to negativity and confusion. It was always how to stop the other side. Not how to win."
"I didnt enjoy playing under him [Moyes]. Sometimes our main tactic was the long, diagonal cross. It was embarrassing."
"Often Moyes told us to play it long. Some players felt they kicked the ball long more than at any time in their career."
"In one home game against Fulham we had 81 crosses! I was thinking, why are we doing this? Andy Carroll doesnt play for us."
"Hed say: 'Today I want us to have 600 passes in the game. Last week it was only 400."
"He brought a small club mentality to Old Trafford."
Rio on Moyes practicing set pieces in a park: "It was amateurish. Why not just send Bayern an e-mail or a DVD?."

I never truly rated Iturbe, never saw what he fuss was about. It only seemed like Juve wanted him because he was a speedy guy and Conte wanted one.
Looool. Faccelo vedere = show him to us, but could also be interpreted as show it to us. It being a penis. Never change, Tuttosport.
Kovacic is awesome, yeah. I guess they learned their lesson with Coutinho.
Allegri “We must be very, very happy, as this is an extraordinary group. Let’s not forget where we are coming from”
hmmm, where did I hear that one before
Great pic.

Great pic.
let's be honest here, even Khal Drogo managed to score a brace on Sassuolo's defence :lol
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL they picked the perfect picture too
Me too, honestly. I was against signing him since day ONE

Any media reaction to Berardi's red? This was his second for elbowing, right? Plus the Under 21 snub, he seems to be pushing his luck.
I dunno let's see!
But yeah :lol he's a bit feisty on the pitch :lol I LOVE it. Dodo and Jesus were DPing him all night and the latter in particular was roughing him up. Elbow justified
Evra "I’ve never worked as hard in my life! Serie A’s less intense than the Premiership but there’s a greater focus on tactics. You always need to be focused and alert to everything.”
Barclays Premface League is easy mode confirmed
SURE LETS BLAME MOYES

Someone on Sky said that the Inter player provoked him and tried to punch him. Still, an elbow to the face isn't the right answer, deserved red tbh.

Galliani got it right this time (so far).

Juve will have a good season imo, Cl quarters and Serie a champions.
Serie a will be far less one sided next season.

Parma - Milan. Not a single ugly goal :lol
Kroos is your typical boring German maschine. Tidy, neat and nothing special.

He is amazing. Probably the striker who scored more goals from offside position than Torres regular ones in his whole carreer.
He is useless as DM that's what Ancelotti and Real is witnessing. I still miss him though. I'd rather have a Kroos that constntly delivers good performances instead of a Ribery who is down most of the season and has 2 world class games that arent even deciding ones.

Twisted ankle, Rami was a bit rough on Friday during training. I don't think he'll be back for the Juve game.
Pls. We are witnessing the creation of the Gaalacticus. Dont interrupt our party.

People keep saying this, but it wasn't just one game.
It was the game.
Manutd haven't played like that in a year. This was the turning point.

People are getting carried away with his debut. Was good and I liked what I saw but QPR players ran past him very easily on at least 2/3 occasions and were able to get at our defence. Not so much of a problem when you're facing Charlie Austin and co...would be against the better teams.
Of course, one game, been here for a few days, adjusting, etc etc. But it was a very easy game from him, he did what I'd expect. Yes it's much better than anything we've had for a while so there is excitement but that's a desperately low bar. Let's see how it pans out over the next few games.
The defence still sucked.
