Serie A season 2012/2013

Good effort from young Beltrame there, I havenā€™t heard of this young man before.

Stonewaller denied!!!

What a dramatic ending. Juve going beserk at not being awarded a penalty for hand ball but then nearly score from the corner.

Full Time: 1-1.

Massive controversy there at the end.

I donā€™t think that was a penalty.

Conte is like a boiled cunt!!

+1

He is hateful. Probably the best tactician around today. I havenā€™t seen a side control games like Juve before, if only they would bring in a top name striker they would be unstoppable.

Four goals for Mauro Icardi against Pescara today.

A late Cavani strike looks like ending Parmaā€™s unbeaten home record and sending Napoli within three points of Juve. Catania have also turned it around in Fiorentina to extend their wretched 2013.

Have you seen him play, Totti? Heā€™s a hell of a record already. The next Batigol? Not bad for ā‚¬400k.

In bits and drabs, havenā€™t watched him in a full game yet but the stats look very good. Prandelli is trying to get him to declare for us although we already have plenty of top class young attackers/strikers.

15 points separate the top four in England,

20 points separate the top four in Spain.

18 points separate the top ten in Italy.

Four clubs have been deducted points for match fixing in Serie A
No clubs have been deducted points for match fixing in EPL
No clubs have been deducted points for match fixing in La Liga

The Transparent League.

Serie A & WWE are both similar in their transparency.

Howard Webb would have been found out in Italy a long, long time ago.

Pirlo voted Italian player of the year for 2012 unsurprisingly. More controversially Conte won the manager of the year award.

The truly wonderful James Richardson on Football Weekly has just informed me that he is on ā‚¬40,000 per year. Yep, per year.

Amazing.

Florenzi was on ā‚¬30k per year before signing a new contract just before Christmas. Another reason why Serie A is the greatest league in the world.
