Serie A - 2025/26

I watched the game. Not a lot of pace or physicality in that league. Kdb looked like he was strolling through that game
 
Just watching the Napoli game. 15 mins gone and Napoli 2-0 up. KDB pen and even Rasmus Hojlund has scored!
It's weird watching Kev play for another team.

Cracking goal by Hojlund. It must be playing at the Swamp that makes players terrible. I reckon even Lamine Yamal would look like a National League clogger at Old Trafford.

Maybe weirder watching him play with Scott MacTominay, Serie A player of the year in 2024.
 
San Siro to be demolished

AC Milan and Inter Milan say they are "very pleased" after the city council approved the sale of the San Siro, a move that could lead to the iconic stadium being demolished.

The approval could lead to the 99-year-old ground and its surrounding areas being sold to both clubs for 197m euros (£172m), but it still needs to be officially confirmed by the city government.

The clubs plan to build a new 71,500-capacity ground as part of a large urban regeneration project, with there reportedly being aims for it to be ready in time Euro 2032, which Italy are joint hosts of alongside Turkey.
 
Watching the Juve vs Milan game now. Have to be honest, it's not exactly riveting fayre.



Not as bad as the game at the GTech was this afternoon, mind!
 
Just checking on Palermos progress in Serie B and noticed that Sampdoria are bottom of the table with one point, incredible to think where they have come from.

Yet another victim of financial chaos and instability in Italian football. A couple of months ago I was talking to someone at a Serie D club that's in the process of working their way back up the leagues under new ownership having previously gone bust. It was blindingly obvious that a key part of the progression strategy was simply to stay on a sound financial footing at which point you have already 'beaten' many of your rivals who will either cripple themselves or go to the wall completely. Off the field, Italian football is just chaos on a stick.

They have only ever won the league once, having one 'golden era' when they won a few cups too. Besides that, they were never, and haven't been since, anything special at all.......a poor mans Forest, without any European trophies!
 
I think David Platt and Des Walker also played for them. Not sure if at the same time as the others you mentioned or not.

Yes of course, completely forgot about Platt! I assume that's how him and Bobby Manc originally got to know each other as they played together. Not sure with Walker, he wasn't there that long I think and might have been just before Mancini came through?
