Manninger played against Napoli I think.

I'm reading 'A Season With Verona' at the moment (haven't touched it in a bit actually) and it gives quite an insight into the attitudes of the people in Verona. It is a right wing city and the Hellas fans are essentially right-wing but the extent of it is exaggerated in the Italian media. The rest of Italy view Verona as 'backward' while the Veronese have an 'us against the rest' kind of attitude.

It's a footballing cliche but boy it really is terrible.

The group "Fedayn" used to be left wing in the 70's, now AS Roma ultras are pretty right wing. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5243/romalivorno2.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9877/romaoppostafanzione2.jpg Urgh. That's horrible.

Understatement of the year. I've been to Italy a few times and actually toured the country last year, it's absolutely incredible what percentage of the girls are stunning.

I don't think they're all raging Nazis like Lazio's fans.

2 or 3 miss-timed challenges from Roma players at the end there, which would have been yellows at the other end for sure.

That was an absolute monsterous header. So unlucky.

Aye, Motta is a dirty bastard though. Roma having way the better of this.

Was never a yellow for Zanetti. Vucinic is a silky player like.

God I hate Toni as a player.

Julio Cesar

Awwww fuck off Phillips and fuck off Almunia.

I shall revel in their relegation, c***s. My Poolie connections mean I concur.

FUCKING WEST BROM FUCK THE FUCK OFF. I thought everybody being very quiet about the score would ensure it stayed that way

Hanging by his belt in his wardrobe. Tad morbid mate.

Gabby Logan has just said "What's happened to Villa?" Would've been great if Garth Crooks had said "Well Gabby, have you seen Deliverance..."

Loved seeing that fly in from Nasri. haha Villa getting absolutely raped.

Anybody from West Ham?

I think Altidore is absolutely shit tbh. All physicality and power with pretty much no ability. How many goals has he scored in the league this season? 1 in about 20 games I think, now I don't care how young he is that just doesn't inspire confidence, not for £5-6 million anyway.

Yawn. Not many goals happening is there.

Yes definitely, but Spurs would want a fair wedge you'd think and Ashley wont be paying that for, what, a 30 year old?

Saw us linked with Albin but never realised he was available on a free. Got to be worth a punt for nowt if he'd be willing to come here, young and versatile player.

Fabregas hobbling pretty badly at St. Andrews.

Wow, just read that Belletti's goal in the final was his only goal for Barca. I think that's fantastic
