    Well yeah, but in Italy you get the feeling they actually try to act like the stereotype Italian. When I see some long black haired guy, who's wearing sunglasses and a rather tight shirt, getting 80 miles per hour with some Vespa at the Costiera Amalfitana I ask myself questions. Just how "Italian" can you get?
    or seeing a pale acne faced brown haired skrawwny kid with snot dripping from his nose as he picks lint from his Sergio Valente jeans and you can ask how "Belgian" can you get??

    Seven, you never cease to amaze me with your moron posts which have no point, no logic and no sense

    Well, if you want to pretend that we were busted in 2005 and that we really spent 2005-06 in Serie B, then go ahead. However, there is the small matter that we actually did play 38 Serie A matches and 10 Champions League matches in 2005-06. We only lost one match in Serie A and finished with a record number of points. So, go off to your little fantasy land, and get those English teeth looked at. I thought you didn't post here because of Tribalism and because of the anti-Piss Bag sentiment.
    Since you are obtuse i will spell it our for you. SerieA 2004 title was stripped cos of malpractices and that means we were relegated for that which automatically made our 2005/2006 participation null and void. For all intents and purposes 2005/2006 did not exist. You got that , you by product of a defective condom, premature ejaculation in the act of bestial necrophilism. If you do not understand i will take my time to explain it to you

    You do realise that if 2005/2006 was a competition without Juventus, simply taking away 30 points and relegating Juventus is all but correct? If you're going to appoint a winner, you'd have to reshape the entire league.

    Pado: You have got to be joking. Moggi was handed a five year ban from football and clearly he and his lawyer are well informed that this won't be taken any further, seeing how he is omni-present in the media. Giving his opinion about the matter and stating he'll be back in football before you know it. Moggi's case is over, and he got away with less than a slap on the wrist.

    Seven: Italian stereotypes are no more true than any other stereotypes for a European people. What bugs me about Italian culture is the unability (I hope, it might also be just plain lack of will) to cut down on the corruption culture. When I gave the example of the Dutch corruption scandal, I wasn't trying to point out that Dutch culture is somehow superior in all of this. We've suffered some *major* corruption in the past. But with pan-European lobbying and all that of the recent years, corruption is now being fought and I see no reason why that couldn't happen in Italy. Only it's not. That disgusts me.

    Probably but in reality the reason Milan was pulled into this mess was because high profile opposition leaders suddendly found themselves in the government again : Borelli, Palazzi and co. who wanted to get back at him because they couldn't in politcs. His presence in politics has cost the team over the years ... from being reserved in spending sprees to loaning out keepers for the sake of votes...hopefully it ends.

    Anyways, Inter may smile at this moment but the long term effects on them will be devasting..no team will want to deal with them for a long time.

    Yes I have....

    more over, what is the problem if a kid from Napoli wants to drive a Vespa which is the common mode of transportation with a stylish shirt in a nation renound for style and high profile designers and with sunglasses which is and has been the trend for many years not to mention is efficiency. Would you get off on an Arab for smoking the hasish in front of a cafe and wearing sandals: woudl you say "Can you get any more Arab?"
    Would you say "can you get anymore English" if an Englishman was outside a pub afterwork having a pint and talking about Crystal Palace?? Its the way people live...acceptance is not in your vocabulary is it

    I never said there was a problem, Nick. In fact I'm quite fond of such a stereotype Italian. It may annoy a lot of people, but I find it has it's charms. Same goes for the stereotype Arabs and English you mention by the way.

    Thing is the Dutch, English and German all have the same stereotypes though :D.

    Corruption might be fought against in Belgium and Holland but it quite clearly still is omnipresent. I don't think there's some sort of unability to cut down on corruption though. It must be lack of will. That and the fact that it has deeper roots in Italy than in any other country.

    It reminds me of the vendetta culture there was in Italy in the Middle Ages. Somewhere along the 11th century Italian cities started fighting over some catholic issue and they were still fighting in the 15th century when the issue had been resolved for over three hundred years. Somewhere along the way you just don't realise it anymore.

    At least in Holland (with all the anti-corruption efforts that have taken place since the 60s) it's now heavily frowned upon. If you got a job via family ties or something, people would ask you if you're too dumb to get a job on your own. You can't get away with these things anymore.

    When the exams were coming up in Salerno, all the students were talking about what type of present their parents were going to send to the professors. I was flabbergasted, how on earth is that normal? Van die koeriers die met bloemen en chocolade de les kwamen verstoren omdat er voor getekend moest worden door de prof, jeeezus
