We are cursed in the CL, no chance we win it
we have to close the club and rebrand as Piemonte Calcio, it's the only loop hole in the curse/
The board have tried everything to rid us of the curse, getting rid of the badge, the stripes, Rubinho all for nothing
Juventus is Cursed, Piemonte Calcio on the other hand...
Or rebrand ourselves with the hometown name in there somewhere.

FC Piemonte Turin?

Oddly enough, clubs named after their hometowns have been the most successful ones in Europe.

Real Madrid
AC Milan
Bayern Munich
Barcelona
Liverpool
Ajax Amsterdam
Etc

I think Juventus, Chelsea and Feyenoord are the only clubs not named after their hometowns to win the CL.

Clubs whose names don't include a place name aren't very common in the first place. From the top leagues around Europe, I can only think of Juve and Arsenal off the top of my head.

There are many teams in England that don’t have their cities name. Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham, Fulham, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Charlton Athletic and many more.
In Italy you have Juve, Sampdoria, SPAL, Fiorentina. (Not sure if Atalanta and Lazio count)

Not city names necessarily, but there are names of places in all the English clubs you named there, as well as Lazio.

You're right about Samp, SPAL and Atalanta. I figure Fiorentina is derived from Firenze.

My bad, but good to know we're not alone in a group with Arsenal :D

Atalanta is another one. They play in Bergamo, and Atalanta is the name of a Greek goddess (hence their nickname La Dea, which means goddess in Italian)

Sampdoria is a merger between two clubs that occurred in the 1940s, Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria. They play in Genova, so that’s another example of a club with a name not of the city

Lazio is the region that Rome is located in. They were founded before AS Roma as well (who are another club founded from a merger of 3 clubs).

Fiorentina is the feminine demonym for Firenze, same as Udinese, Cremonese etc.

Just doesn’t look right. Not occupying any dangerous positions or creating space for himself. His shot count in the last 7 games won’t be double figures combined.

he had about 10 shots in each of the first couple of games this season
