Personally, I find myself much more interested in the Italian league than any other foreign league. I don't really understand why. I suppose due to the historical cache of several clubs in Serie A, combined with my age. With the league seemingly peaking in at a time when I was paying the most attention, and of course James Richardson's gelatos certainly helped. The fact there are several teams of interest always made it seem more competitive too. Hopefully the decade of Juventus pissing the league are a thing of the past, but it doesn't sound like it given the debacle at Inter. Might give it a genuine go this year. I think I'll need to arbitrarily pick a club to support. Ideally one that I could be bothered to visit some day. I always had Roma kits as a yoot, but they seem uninspiring plus Mourinho I’ll try to watch as much Serie A football as I can this season. Sampdoria is my team.

Would've been fun/interesting. Yeah, same, and that's how I know how we've fallen. I used to never get why people wanted great players or managers 'in the league' if it's not for your club. Like fuck do I want some superstar coming to score against us. Now what does it matter, might as well get to see some famous players at St James's, ooh Guardiola in Newcastle, that's nice.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 What are Arsenal up to then? They've signed a defender to replace Luiz and are trying to sign a goalkeeper they don't necessarily need. Thomas seems to be a cripple, they've lost Ceballos & Ødegaard back to Real and obviously are selling Willock. Seems to be a total shitshow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Staggering that Arsenal sold us Emi Martinez, who is for my money one of the best keepers in Europe, to replace him with someone half as much again who isn't even any use. As a club, they are absolutely all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
