    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    No, I haven't. I have the Sardegna Uno channel on my satellite but they use correct Italian pronunciation & grammar as it's receivable over much of Europe. I've only ever seen the town of Cagliari on my tv screen... I once dated a girl from Corsica...it's supposedly French but actually a...

    They're not happy...you ever been there, man? Their regional dialect Italian is something else to hear! Beautiful city though.

    He wouldn't be my ideal choice but down to him or Donadoni...in a few years maybe Donadoni. Since were only theorising...for now, the fat man with the glasses has to be better. If he did that I'd lend you my sharpening stone for your axe!!!

    So probably both of you wouldn't like to see him (Capello) as CT of L'Azzurri either? Donadoni's too inexperienced at that level, & even if he gets Italy to the Euro Championships, what's he going to do? Capello's got to be better surely?

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    You made a number of valid points, but I highlighted this one for the simple reason that I agree Ranieri is no big time winner. I look upon this coming season as a year of transition, the "coming back" if you like, & with a concentrated effort a 4th place finish should not be beyond us. But the...

    I agreed with everything but this was your best point...

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    Trez wasn't getting the service. When we get Pavel & Camo back in the MF we'll have more width & then Trez will see more of the ball. Yes, Nocerino & Criscito are stars of the future & Almiron is looking more & more like a really outstanding buy. Iaquinta is only a back up player, that's what he...

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    I purposely stayed off the forum earlier because I wanted to concentrate on the football & then come in to see how all our opinions compared...I saw a number of things in those games I wasn't happy about, but to be honest it went much as I expected, the win over Napoli & losing to Inter. It gets...

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    Same as me. I must check tonight. Last year & this I have been using a Sky Italia receiver which descrambles Rai & Mediaset when they encrypt. I'm basing my thoughts on all the previous years when I used a standard receiver & though I had a Matrix cam, & before that, pirate cards, I never needed...

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    I've never known Mediaset scramble this tournament before, & I'm sure it's always been shown by Canale 5, although Italia 1 may have done...I can't remember. Where are you getting your tv from, cable or satellite?

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    Yes & I'm ashamed to admit that right now I can't remember who! He'll know he's only back up, but there's an argument in favour of being a World Champion's understudy rather than trying to make his way in a smaller club. I hope he makes it, too.

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    I'm looking forward to this evening...I've seen the torneo Birra Moretti many times over the years & it never loses its appeal. I have to say though without Gigi & Pavel some of the glamour will be lost, but it will allow Belardi to benefit from the experience...in football you never know when a...

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    Let's hope we do, but again I have to say "Don't discount Napoli in the San Paolo." C'mon Michael, you should know that. BTW, you'll get Canale 5 in Malta, right?

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    Yes. Which brings me to answering the good gentlemen below... You all talk about Inter, guys. To dismiss Napoli in the San Paolo as non contenders is sheer folly as many have found over the years! We need to take them both seriously, & beat them. Against Italian opposition, Ranieri should...

    Trofeo Birra Moretti 2007

    Birra Moretti has sponsored this tournament for years...was it 2 years ago that Napoli, then in Serie B defeated a full strength Juve in the "final?" I mean, even in Italy the sun cannot rise in the west...how likely (or genuine) a result was that?

    It's live & in the "clear" on Canale 5 (Mediaset) for those with the Hot Bird Satellite...
