Spanking young boys is not acceptable in modern society.

I tweeted last time we played them that whoever named the club was ingenious because no one would ever brag "Hey, we beat Young Boys!"

Mazzarri fired and Mancini returns as Inter's coach. All ahead of next weekend's Milan Derby!

The incredible luck of City: Roma concede at the death in Moscow and City benefit from Bayern going down to ten men when Benatia, most recently with Roma, commits an idiotic penalty. And then, you know, grabbing a 93rd minute winner by Aguero as if we didn't hear that one before.

This at least sets up a thrilling Roma-City final match in Rome!

And a good day for Snowstalker: Atletico now up 4-0 against Olympiacos. Big help to Juve (who are also ahead).

The top three all dropped points this weekend. It's somewhat excusable for Juve and Roma because of their massive CL matches this week but Napoli had to settle for a draw (after being down by two goals) to Empoli at home. Rafa Benitez should be banned from coaching in Serie A.

Now I'm obviously no Juventino but I'm looking forward to Italy over Spain tomorrow. Smiley

Doesn't matter. Unless Juve completely spank us we still win the group. I guess I'd like to see Roma as the runner-up in Group E, though.

It doesn't require a spanking because it isn't decided by overall goal difference; it'll be decided by head to head goal difference if Juve win. So all they need to do is win 2-0 which is entirely plausible. That said, I expect 2-1 Juve.

Such a roller coaster in the other Group A match (who would have thought?) but Serie A wins the day!

Such a shame for Liverpool though. Talk about a club in shambles.

Most massive match of the Group Stage so I'm taking a half day. Smiley

Hope Roma and their fans put on a good show for viewers especially since the match is live on FS1 today.

A pity for Serie A but the Portuguese are kept behind us in the coefficient rankings because Sporting didn't advance (only one Portuguese side in the knockout rounds).

Roma are surely a favorite for the Europa League title. I'd love a Napoli-Roma Final. Smiley

All Italian teams remain in European competition this season. Napoli, Inter and Fiorentina win their EL groups. Torino slipped to runner up after Brugge got a last minute goal against Helsinki to win their group. Sad

Sadly, Roma go in to the Round of 32 as unseeded. They should still go far.

I'm with you on Napoli, but I'm going to stay Roma gets knocked out beforehand. Surely, the draw will tell a little bit more, but they'll probably go to semi's or quarter's.



Wow. You're far more optimistic than I am! We always find a way to flounder in Europa League. It doesn't help that our owner publicly dismisses the tournament. Plus, Italian teams have generally sucked in the competition for the last two decades or so.

I think Roma is better built to go further than Napoli, in all honesty. Whatever the case, the more Italian teams deep in the knockout rounds, the better. We need this. We need some spark. I think it can definitely happen. Three of the four teams won their groups. The other was unlucky not to win theirs. So we're going against the norm for Serie A. We just have to hope we don't get drawn against each other after the Round of 32.

For some reason I'd really like us to draw Arsenal in the Round of 16.

Oh, that's because you'd like to win.

City vs. Barça. Again. Juve vs. Dortmund just like old times.

Napoli play Trabzonspor. Smiley Good draws for Inter and Roma, too. Torino will probably face some difficulty at Bilbao and Fiorentina are the underdogs against Tottenham.

As for the CL, I'm predicting the following winners:

Chelsea
Barça
Atletico Madrid
Juve
Real Madrid
Bayern
Arsenal
Basel

Three Spanish, two English, one German, one Italian, one Swiss.

I have the same prediction on Phil other than my money being on Porto for the last match.

Yeah, a completely open match but I like Basel's spunk. Good coach, too.

Thrilling match. 1-1 entering the second half of extra time. I think this one is going to go to a shoot out...

And as I should have known, Juve score in the first minute of second extra time.
