I think last season points is a good metric. hard to think of an example where the coach stayed the same and the team suddenly performed 20 points better, usually the improvement is between 10-15 points even with very strong mercato's. last season Allegri underperformed massively. if he...

besides the eye test, do you have any metric that confirms this? https://fbref.com/en/comps/11/2022-2023/keepersadv/2022-2023-Serie-A-Stats - I don't see anything in the past 3 seasons that suggests Tek is a top goalkeeper in Serie A or even should be starting ahead of Perin

Inter finished last season with 72 points. In the summer they sold/released Onana, Brozovic, Dzeko, Skriniar, dAmbrosio, Gosens, Correa and some other players, while bringing in Thuram, Pavard, Sommer, Frattesi, Acerbi, Alexis Sanchez , Cuads, Arnautovic, Klaassen and some other players. I'm...

the smart thing would've been to propose this while his stock was down and confidence low, f.e. end of last season. of course we do it after we pimped him out the whole summer and he has started the season with a bang

Cristante's career best goal and best assist was for 5:0 and 7:0 against Empoli lol

Has Dwayne Johnson ever done a movie/TV show that wasnt underwhelming? Tried watching Ballers, as a sports fan I was ok if it sucked a bit, but it was just consistently mediocre. Like everything else I've seen with Dwayne Johnson.

Its not half, Perin is less than 3m gross, Woj is 12m gross. And then there's been talk of a 2.5m loyalty bonus every year for Woj..

Almost never. Some turn out ok, but I can't think of a single example that fully reached expectations.

Poop-face!

Go for Hansi, sack Max

Basketball is a team sport. Germany stars fluctuated throughout the tournament, but the team was solid throughout, even when Franz was injured or Schroeder was bricking

Damn, I love watching Adesanya, sad for the man. My nickname is a character from an old novel, nothing to do with MMA :D

they're sportswashing the regime for several purposes, but imo 2 are very significant: 1. solidifying the rule of existing leaders; 2. make it more acceptable in public eye to invest and trade with the regime. while 1 truly sucks for the victims of the regime, 2 will probably only improve their...

Loser comment, but that at least made some sense, at the time we were barely top10 or a bit out of top10 financially in Europe, the spending was minimal, so the expectations that we should be making deep runs in CL or winning it were unfounded. However Allegri is speaking of Serie A here, its...

What Juve fans consider grinta is what Zidane and Pinto implemented in Madrid, lead to the 3 CLs.

anyone following the FIBA World Cup? been a fun ride thus far, both Spain and France out before 1/4finals, Canada with all their NBA talent barely made it. crazy how dominant the old Europe still is in these big international sportsevents , in footie last year Europe had 5 out of 8...

He has lots of stamina, decent acceleration and speed. Given that he's been training a year with Allegri I suspect those things are gone by now. :p

Dude had one fantastic season for Juve. For a while is a very vague way of putting it, he was fantastic for exactly on season, 10 months or so. 2nd season he was the average Serie A striker, put a 1st stint Matri in his shoes in the 2nd season and I'm sure the difference in goals scored is minimal.

Hmm. There are 380 matches in a season and theres got to be a really big number of variables in how the calendar is created. The chances of a specific calendar are 1 / big big number. Practically impossible!

Pls let me know when we have some grinta and a basic game plan figured out, dont see a point watching yet.
