A link above to Nikki Bandini's review of the season, some great youtube clips included and a good read.

Really enjoyed that, a good read and reminded of a few things I had forgotten. I do wonder if that Gagliardini miss against Sassuolo would have actually made the difference for Inter, probably would have found somewhere else to bottle it or Juve would have put in a bit more effort.

Exactly what I thought, but I too reached the same conclusion, still a horror miss though.

Yeah it was, but there was a lot more wrong in that game than just his miss, most of the games around that time involved very poor periods for Inter and that whole spell cost Inter more than the losses to Juve and Lazio before the break. Having said all that, I would have been happy with finishing 2nd at the start of the season so I shouldn't complain really.

Just watching Golazzo story on BT.

God if forgotten how much fun C4 covered he was back then. I’d also forgotten how strong that league was back then. Stronger then any league nowadays and pretty much all superstars in one league.

I was hoping they would show some of my favourite highlights, including a doggie game that ended 4-4, think it was like 4-1 with 20 mins to go and some lad came off the bench to get a hatrick. “ if any other team did it you wouldn’t believe it. If you followed Foggiw, you’d expect nothing less” classic...

Also seemed way more meaningful to fans that the overly marketed , soulless EPL now represents. I really loved football back then, just isn’t the same anymore.

Inter looked like they were going to blow Leverkusen away by half time last night but then literally limped over the line with Sanchez injured but all subs used and Lukaku in obvious pain but playing on anyway, he was unplayable at times. Will be interesting to see how they do against Shaktar Donetsk in the semi.

Making the quarters one legged was a massive boost to my interest as a viewer and the intensity of the game was unreal at times, I know they won’t but they should consider dropping the two legged approach.

I was thinking that myself, it would be great if they could do this whole mini tournament every year, it'd definitely make me more interested in the other matches.

Conte looks like getting ready to walk out at Inter. With Allegri favourite to follow!!

Sarri must be getting excited for 2023 at Inter :pac:

Why is Conte ready to walk, not getting the transfers he wants?

Apparently a trust matter within the club. The breaking point came:

He was sent a letter in post with a bullet, address to him at the club. He wanted nothing said, not to frighten anyone, and somehow his family got to hear about it. he said it could only come from in the club.

Great signing for Milan.

What the feck are Inter at, thought that was wrapped up in a bow, does Conte not want him?

Conte doesn't do forward plans. He wants the instant product. I guess he knows he would be gone long before Tonali hits prime years.

Until Milan on the final day, I like the Atalanta run in.

Just noticed the 2 Inzaghi brothers will be coaching against each other this season. Filippo in charge of Bennevento and Simone with Lazio

Mr.Nice Guy · 20-09-2020 12:31AM

Spinazzola unlucky. Very nearly had a goal of the season contender on the opening day.

Roma held to a goalless draw at Verona.

I liked the look of Fiorentina yesterday. They have very strong midfield options this year. Torino won't be up to much this season saying that though. Good win for Napoli there to start off with. Interesting to see what Gattuso can achieve in a full season with Napoli.

justshane · 20-09-2020 10:21PM

Best I’ve seen Juve play in a long time. Ramsey was like a player reborn. Maybe Juve finally have a midfield with a bit of balance after an impressive debut my McKenzie and an ever improving Rabiot.

Dillonb3 · 22-09-2020 04:46PM

Bit of a mess up with Roma's administration they fielded an ineligible player against Verona and have been handed a defeat although they're trying to appeal

Hey, is there a legal way to stream Serie A games in Ireland? I don't mind paying obviously, but I don't want or have a cable package, just want serie a.
