Thanks, Lou. I was going to ask you to give us a hand (two of them!) with that one. ;)

;) A wang pull is particularly harsh on a goalie. Could be at least 3-4 weeks.

So I turn on my recording of 91° Minuto, which apparently aired late because of the Miss Italia contest still going on. And who is making a front-row appearance, looking pensively over the contestants with his finger to his lips? Noneother than our own Gigi Buffon. He's already shopping for...

Good question. This is a sort of debate I've managed to skirt, because everyone else has done so well at beating it to death. As for the trident, I think we seriously need some offensive threat when it comes to the two-game eliminations of the CL's later rounds. We should expect to be there...

Yeah, but there are a lot of juventini with their hands on the guillotine rope with Capello's head in the stocks on the chopping block, just waiting for that moment. ;)

Bravo, Espectro! Great post. Borrowing Lou's hands for a moment: I would think so too if not for the fact that he was, to a significant degree, in the group behind his acquisition. (Unlike Mourinho at Chelsea.) For all we can criticise Capello for, we cannot yet ignore the fact...

:) Thanks, Andy. And nice write-up.

OK, for anyone else, it looks like page 58 is when things turned south in this thread. In short, it sounds like my worries that we'd have difficulty putting together an effective offensive attack against Ascoli were somewhat confirmed. Two free kicks, really. And fortuanely we got them...

Waking up later than the rest of the world east of me, I was hoping to check into this thread to get the specifics of how well we did ... since I wasn't able to catch the game. And instead I find this. :yuck: Anyone can give me a link to the page in this thread with the last productive...

You mean Real Madrid?

"It" meaning losing to Juventus 0-4? :cheesy:

Btw, caught these statistics yesterday on Ascoli's club history: Heaviest Home Defeat: 0-5 vs. Juventus (86-87) Heaviest Away Defeat: 0-7 vs. Juventus (83-84) Hopefully this bodes well for us. :D

Now that's saying a lot. :D

I'm a little worried about how our goal production might fare at Ascoli... don't ask me why. And Udinese has surprised me. I've always liked Cosmi, and he's really stepped in and filled the team vacuum thus far. Amazingly, they've played in midfield like they haven't missed Jankulovski or...

After our Empoli destruction, maybe I'm Chicken Little here, but I worry that we won't be talking Ascoli seriously enough. Holding Milan to a draw (OK, it was dumping) and then holding Lecce to a clean sheet at their home stadium... Ascoli could prove to be what Chievo was to us last season.
