Good question. Can't think of anyone outside of Milan so gonna say Wilkins

Yeah I couldn’t think of anyone at all outside of John Charles. Forgot about Butch.

Fair play to Young. He’s a good pro and was one of the best players in the PL but Jesus it’s 10 or so years ago

Wilkins didn’t win Serie A after having wiki’d it.

Bit crazy it’s that long, I’ve never heard of hitchens. Died on a pitch a long time ago sadly.

And John Charles of course is welsh

English players were not likely to play anywhere outside of England for a good while.

This has changed in recent years.

Wanted to make a guess at it. Was pretty sure Beckham wasn't round for Milan's last and Ince never won one with Inter. Couldn't think of anyone else other than Wilkins even though I was pretty sure he was pre Berlusconi revival

pm1977x

I thought Platt at Juve but they didn't win it that season.

Faraoni made contact with Handas arm and which prevented him from catching it, rightly disallowed imo.

That's not enough to disallow it imo. They are both going up for a ball, of course there's gonna be contact.
It's not like he slapped his arms away.

He moved Handas arm enough to prevent him from catching it and that is more than enough to call it a foul the way the sport is now, you basically can't touch goalies anymore. When I watched it live I thought it should have been a goal myself but seeing the replays I think there is enough contact to disallow it. I'd also say that Faraoni isn't watching the ball and is just trying to put Handa off, not a genuine attempt to get the ball so is a foul.

Absolute joke of a decision against Milan. Lazio score on a break after winning the ball in a foul. Ref checks the video himself showing Hakan getting taken out but gives the goal anyway

Spezia have been such a breath of fresh air. Fraction of the budget of most other clubs but always going for it and with often good football. Glad to see them likely to be staying up.

Crotone hanging on by a thread here. Need half time badly.

Mr.Nice Guy

Inter will be crowned champs tomorrow if Atalanta fail to beat Sassuolo. That should be a great game as Sassuolo have Europa League ambitions.

Crotone relegated at long last. Interested to see where Simy ends up as I'm sure he'll have a lot of offers.

And because Sassuolo and Atalanta are the two best teams to watch in Serie A.

Lazio dismantling Genoa at ease, 4-1 and could easily be more.

edit: And now 4-3...

I always enjoy Lazio games

Full of goals and drama

Lazio manage to hang on there

They've seen 25 goals in their last 4 games :pac:

Atalanta down to 10, 1-1 now.

edit: And Consigli saves a penalty

Mr.Nice Guy

Inter are champions!

Great achievement by Conte and well deserved. Delighted for Lukaku in particular. A much maligned player in the past who has gone up a level and become one of the world's best strikers.

Conte has slain the beast he created :pac:
