Fuck :sad: R.I.P Astori

Astori was on the verge of playing for us at one time, but then again that's every Italian player for us.

Radical 2018-19 Serie A changes | Football Italia

Big changes to the 2018-19 Serie A season, which runs from August 19 to May 26, with Winter rounds and an end to the transfer market on August 18.

CONI President Giovanni Malagò announced the developments this evening and there are several radical adjustments to the usual schedule.

“The next Serie A season will begin on August 19 and the Italian Super Cup is on August 12, with a location still to be confirmed.

“Next year, there will be two breaks in September and April, plus we have approved the formula of a Boxing Day schedule, so there will be games on December 22, 26 and 30 with the season resuming on January 20.

“The round on January 13 will be entirely about the Coppa Italia with a change to the format there too. It is no longer obligatory for the top seeded clubs to have the game on home turf, so it will all be done by open draw.

“As for the transfer market, we have made some important modifications. The summer session will close on August 18, 24 hours before the start of the Serie A season.

“The same will go for the January window, which is expected to close on January 19.”
Gotta say, I’m actually impressed with these changes to the schedule/format of the league.

I especially love the transfer window BS closing earlier (and actually can’t wait til they scrap the January window entirely one day) and love the fact that the Coppa Italia might have more upsets due to the big teams (possibly) having to play games away in shitty home grounds against lower ranked teams. I’d love some FA Cup style upsets.

Also loving the games during Xmas and New Year, and the Coppa Italia having its own standalone round makes it feel more important and brings more focus to the tournament.

‘Juve always winning late not normal’ | Football Italia

Marek Hamsik’s agent claims “it’s not normal that Juventus win 1-0 in the 90th minute every time” after Napoli lost ground at the top.

Napoli fell to a 4-2 defeat to Roma on Saturday, while Paulo Dybala’s injury-time goal handed Juve victory over Lazio, leaving the Bianconeri another win away from not only matching the Partenopei on games played but also toppling them by two points.

“Bad games can happen,” Martin Petras told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“Roma approached Napoli’s goal four times and scored four goals, but we must remain calm, the road is still long.

“Napoli aren’t giving up, but a defeat after so many victories is what it is. It’s not normal, however, that Juventus win 1-0 in the 90th minute every time.

“Still, we must be calm, the dream is always there. If Napoli keep playing like they know how, it’ll be hard for Inter to beat them.

“The Azzurri won’t give anything up. I hope their great desire can make the difference, compared to a Juventus side that have won for so many years straight.”
So what is it then? Clubs are working with us to concede late now? Fucking moron.
