After watching Man Utd labour to an undeserved victory against Everton, I'm convinced that they are the odds-on favourites once again for the title. I've never been a fan of making championship predictions this early in the season, but it seems that Man Utd this year have the oft-called "luck of...

I would love to see either Raikonnen or Massa nick today's race too, but the likelihood that it will matter in the long run (ie. the championship race) is rather low if you ask me. I can't remember when F1 last saw a driver grab the championship lead back this late in the season (from a...

What always disturbs me when it comes to loaning players is that no matter how they seem to do on loan, they seem to suffer the inescapable fate of being loaned out again/co-owned/traded/sold. It happened with Brighi (who was excellent at Parma), Miccoli, Maresca, Zanchi, Blasi and all the rest...

I love writing myself, fiction and otherwise. Writing a book however is most likely destined to remain one of those things that I think far too often about that will never come to pass, unfortunately.

Hmph, that's if Mr Domenech is willing to play him. A very big IF, may I add.

Bravo indeed. Domenech deserved no less.

The start of our season will be more of a transitional period for the club to phase itself into the top flight again, a year in Serie B will have no doubt shaken the foundations a little, even though the core of the team has remained for the past year. So for me its important to manage...

I'm someone who is very appreciative of quality storytelling, and this game worked for me in that respect. Thoroughly enjoyed the quirks of what I'd call an unconventional game, but there wasn't enough to grab my attention for longer than a single playthrough.

I think Totti's view on playing for Italy is crystal clear here, and very much consistent with what we've come to know of him. He's had myriad offers from the likes of Real and Man Utd in the past and never left Roma out of a professed affection for the team, but we all know that Francesco is...

For once, I am rather sceptical about Lippi's enthusiasm. It's no secret that he made extensive use of Iaquinta in the World Cup (even employing him on the wing on occasion) but I've always had my reservations regarding Vincenzo, tall he may be but IMO he lacks that killer instinct and...

Good stuff Jack, keep em coming. :smile:

I assume Suazo thinks he's going to be a central figure in Inter's plans for the seasons beyond...and he's most likely wrong, TBH.

This comes as a surprise to no one I should think, his patience has been wearing thin with every season and his decision to stay on after the final against Barca was only fuelled by promises of a better season, more trophies and most importantly a better squad, all of which did not materialize...

:dielaugh: :touched:

Guess what...I'm going with Mancini for this one. Sure, there are at least three coaches who deserve it more, but I believe he deserves some credit at the very least. Despite the atrocious odds offered at the bookmakers, I believe the signs were still there for a typical Internazionale...

Now, where have I heard that before... You'll forgive the cynicism of course, but our track record isn't encouraging.

Congrats on the excellent effort Mikhail, I have to ask though, what inspired the choice of Hamlet? Were you worried that a college audience would not connect with a more obscure play, perhaps?

If Trezeguet and the board are actually disagreeing over a meagre difference in his pay, its plain that the issue here isn't the money, is it? The board evidently do not want David enough to overlook an issue of a few hundred thousand euros a year, and David would rather leave than settle for a...

Players such as Criscito have been coming through the Juventus ranks every once in a while for years now, and we've had varying success with different coaches with respect to their experimentation (or lack thereof) with youth. Under Lippi and Capello I'd have readily condemned this kid to...

Milito is a solid defender and a player we would do well to base a defense on, I'd love to see him in Turin. Most of all I'm just glad to see that the board is under no illusions that with our current team acquisitions (and quality acquisitions at that) are an absolute must if we are to realize...
