Well Serie A Sure Has Been Interesting So Far
Sorry for the lack of updates, but there’s been zilch news on the international front. Buffon is injured but should be back in time for our next qualifiers. Pirlo is out for 2 months so we’ll have to make due without him. Everything else- including the call ups- still are yet to be announced. So for an Azzurri blog, it’s kinda hard to write when there’s no Azzurri news.
But I have been watching a ton of Serie A lately. Based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s gonna be a very interesting year.

Milan finally got out of their funk, though we’ll see this weekend if they’re really out of it. Inter are looking pretty good, though Juve stuttered a bit yesterday.
But the talking point (for me anyway) is Roma. What the hell? A 3-1 loss to Genoa is just unacceptable. Something’s gotta give. A team that’s pushing for the Scudetto can’t drop point this often and so early in the season. The defense is a mess, and yes there’s a ton of injuries. But you can only blame injuries and a lack of money so much. The fluid attacking football from last year has only been seen in glimpses. Spalletti has got to figure out what’s wrong, and figure it out very soon. The ref was horrible and disallowed a Panuc goal for no reason, but still. The mentality just isn’t there and it’s gotta be instilled asap.
So this weekend, lots to look forward to. The Milan derby is undoubtedly huge, and Juve are playing Samp, which could be a great game. Samp are another team who’ve had a crappy start to the season, but they too have the coach who can help them out.

This board is getting colder adn colder. Where is Chris? I miss his unique way of writting, and fascinating angle of looking at things that provoke disccusion. Julian did a fine job, carrring this board since the Euro Cup, but Chris is a genius of modern language and should write more.

Sorry Yi if you’re not satisfied with how I’m writing. Chris writes over at the Roma section of theoffside.com, if you want to read his stuff. As of right now, I’m the only author of this blog.
Thanks alessio and jeff. Sorry for the lack of updates guys but there’s been no news. I feel bad when writing about serie a cause I feel like that’s what the guys over at theoffside do (like alessio)

I understand about the lack of updates, Julian. I wrote for the Italy WCB (very, very briefly) a few years ago, and I kinda drifted out of it because there was no Azzurri news, and I got a bit bored analyzing games like Italy-Faroes.
I don’t mind you writing about Serie A at all, it’s good to have other perspectives and different writing styles, that’s one of the reasons I like when Roberto writes for the Juve Offside. As far as covering Serie A, I’d just contact Francesco of the Italy Offside and maybe coordinate coverage or what you’re covering.
You’re doin great man.

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Italy board w/ Pato and Seedroof pics…….




You can do better job between azzurri games.
by keeping track how prospect Italy NT players are doing around the leagues……..




Not to be too critical Julian, but isn’t there already a Riomma Merda page for stuff on them? A page, I might add, written by a “genius of modern language” (Lol to the fucking max).
