Yeah bud's my favourite Seria A player.
"Kind of annoying that Totti is getting plaudits from media now when he was in his prime 10 years ago. Pirlo-like situation."
" I feel like this happens when they take the English to school, like when Pirlo chipped Joe Hart "
Burn them all.
@Bold One: don't expect to see one anytime soon, the age of good Italian players is long gone. But there's hope in Verratti and Berardi. They are both absolute fucking cunts on the pitch though...ffs :lol

Gollini was United's gk for the u18/u19 side and he's now playing for Verona.
Macheda was a one dimensional goal scorer who couldn't replicate that goal scoring for the first team. Petrucci was a great midfield prospect ruined by injuries.
We'll never have a sexy Italian playing for United. ;_;
Pls buy Verratti, we can't afford him anymore ;_;_;_;

Couple of odd remarks but the general point article makes is fair, and more importantly true. Fans up and down the country continue to get fleeced, and the breaking point is approaching.

Just saw MNF's analysis of Arsenal's corners
So its pretty much confirmed that they don't practice corners. That analysis was damning.
lol Arsene

Is Petrucci still salvageable?

"uhh..you have a face..that you're Ajax supporter" legend :looool
I'm happy for him <3 Conte seems to like him too so expect to see more of him with the azzurri this week
(we have the same haircut now, but it looks better on him :lol)
He has been shit since he left Napoli. He can't be Ibra's little bitch, he needs 3 or 4 players to work for him.
I'm gonna guess every Napoli supporter would be so glad to do a swap with Higuain
Supporters are stupid, Higuain > Cavani

No. He's already out of United playing for Cluj.

Holy shit guys. I'm speechless. Can't believe it.
New PES actually seems really good. Movement is sharp, the basic act of kicking the ball is satisfying. Players make decent runs off the ball.
I've only played one match, on Regular, so there may well be things that fuck it all up at the higher difficulties, and it doesn't answer any of my questions about the defensive AI since I was using the best team against the worst (the team ratings are all kinds of fucked up)
But based on the last 10 minutes, it is very, very promising. Hits the sweet spot between fun and realistic far better than FIFA has for the last 7 years. The menus still look bad, and in mid-match menus are a little laggy, but the frame is there for this to be a great football game.
Will have to wait for reviews to see how much depth there is to the single-player modes before deciding whether to buy it. If you guys actually stick with the PES version of Clubs, I'm up for it probably.

Those comments are so true.
Although, I feel like there are several players who have world class potential if they can stay healthy over the next few years.
It's happening tonight. The infamous vomit inducing third Juve kit. Here goes our chance of a respectable defeat.

Round up:
* Totti is my favourite Italian player, followed by Del Piero and then Nesta (and then Nedved because he counts right <3)
* will need to play the PES demo again. It felt quite fun to play but I should play it against dean, can't hack single player football anymore
* that guardian article Linny posted does make good points, but - considering the Champions League should be the holy grail to a lot of City fans now when you take into account where they've come from - it is odd to see it so subdued. It's a good article overall, but clubs around the country get packed out every week, it's not asking much for the Champions of England to do the same. Surely their fan base is big enough so that someone who couldn't get tickets to the PL match can make it to the CL one, or vice versa.

Hey now, that's the one I always use when playing FIFA15 online.
E SE POI TE NE PENTI?
Interesting stuff going on at swansea. Looks like a number of investors are looking to pump money into the club. They will buy shares but not the club. The club would still be under the control of the present board.
Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand yay more money but on the other hand swansea have got to where they are with locals running the club and that needs to be maintained. Swansea fans do not take kindly to owners wanting to fuck them over.

PS Plus hasn't been that beneficial to me, but I got it for half price on black friday, and will probably get it again if I can find it half off. At some point I expect the launch titles to come out for free and then it will have paid for itself.

Genuinely, we could win 30 league titles in the rest of my life, and missing out last year would still haunt me because of what it would have meant to Gerrard, and the way it was his mistake which put us on the backfoot so badly. Fucking football.
To be completely honest, I think it's still effecting my attitude to football this season. I'm not getting as excited about matches, I'm not keeping up with team news as much, I'm not watching every goal in the league. It's like I've made a subconscious barrier to prevent myself from getting too emotionally involved, because that slip was genuinely heartbreaking to me. I reckon it's effecting the atmosphere at our games as well in all honesty, everyone seems a bit exhausted still, and our poor form is only contributing to that. Add in the loss of Suarez, and everyone seems a bit fatigued already.
We need to start climbing the league table or get a big result against someone to make me (and many others I imagine) start fully focussing on the current situation, rather than dwelling on last season.
edit: I have a huge amount of respect for Totti, and love watching him play, but he's a massive, massive cunt.
My favourite Italian player is Andrea Dossena because I think in his spare time he is an axe murderer.
jk it's Vito Mannone because he is amazing.
DOSSENA!

Can't hate a player who scored his debut goal against Brøndby.

why of course
A-boss. sky
you absolute fucking glorious fucking Czech.
best goal for me will always be the third against Madrid in 2003. he was so good good back then. Was IMO one of the top 5 players in the world around then. Just was sooo good and could do almost anything.
That might be my favourite Juve game ever. Just an absolutely perfect European night. trez, Del Boy and Nedved scoring and Gigi saving a figo penalty
http://youtu.be/oWY5rXQslt8?t=1m30s
I bet Nedved could still outrun half of Serie A players.
And Llorente.
I know exactly what you mean, I was gonna kill myself in 2011-2012 near the end (after Buffon's fuck up vs Lecce). Del Piero deserved a Scudetto send off
(Del Piero cheering him up after his mistake ;____________________________
whether you hate Liverpool or not, you can't deny that he deserves (at least) a title before retiring..</3
...we'll never be that good again.

Oh shit, I had forgotten about this. If Ronaldo gets selected over Pirlo or Henry then there is no god.
Seeing the stadium rocking like that makes me cry. Was such an amazing night.
dude still runs in marathons <3
even Marco Motta can outrun Llorente, jogging backwards.

I still remember that night. Allegri creeping on us. The nightmares.
I remember this too.

Claudio saving the day, Buffon running like he was chasing a taxi.
We had a couple of really rough years.

You know that's how it's meant to be.
EDIT: omg I never saw that video, the face Didier does at 1.07 is really something

I am always in two minds about if I feel sorry for Gerrard. He and Totti both decided to stay at their clubs, but have both won the greatest cups they could have hoped for. Totti as an Italian won the World Cup, Gerrard as an Englishman won the CL.
It would be nice if he did win the league, because you gotta respect someone staying at their hometown club, but if he doesn't he will always have that CL medal.
edit: I am gonna say Gerrard deserves one, simply because i want to say Buffon deserves a CL winners medal. He made his debut in the CL 17 years ago. That is fucking crazy.

Is Llorente actually doing well for Juve? Genuine question.
