I used to love Italian football, growing up watching UK TV without Sky, channel 4s coverage of Serie A was the only live football I got to see regularly. Now i'd rather watch La Liga or the German league before Serie A, pity just a great league has fallen. You just have to look at their CL results over the past 10 years to see how badly it's desegregated.
if only the french could be anywhere near those results, lol! out of the last 11 years, 5/22 finalists and 3/11 wins (and just 1 french finalist lol). they basially get 2 or 3 wins per decade, and they are still on this average. so when I agree that the serie A has been lowering its standards, they still have decent results in clubs or with their national team. Every 2 season there is a new scandal though... but yeah, italian teams don t scare anymore, not like they used to at least.
this epl season is awesome, never seen so many teams with very decent chances to become champion at this stage! all this thanks to united who is giving everyone some slack. i don t even know who i want to see winning this. huh, i know what i want: 4th place for newcastle and liverpool to melt down. between arsenal chelsea and city... i think arsenal has been waiting long enough...
4th place would be a dream result for this lifelong Magpie,I honestly thought we would struggle this year...and the epl is truly awesome.
almost all the french guys you recruited are very good compared to what you got them for, and the results from last year were truly a surprise for me.
I'm a bit worried about yanga mbiwa: how is he doing? he was an excellent young defender with a huge potential, and it seems like he became a very average player... and that he isn't playing much.
debuchy, sissokho, cabaye, remy, and to a lesser extent gouffran are all confirmed good players in ligue 1.
obertan was shit in ligue1, and i don't know how drunk was ferguson when he saw some potential there. Amalfitano was just some average young ligue2 player, so it was kind of a bet, then there is that unknown defender you recruited from Nancy (wtf?)
and to finish ben arfa.... pfff, what to say.... i feel sorry for this guy, such a waste of talent. he is famous in france since he was a 10 year old kid or so. At that age, his talent was just breath taking and there was a tv program about young kids learning to become footballers in many episodes and he was the star of the show. he is the same generation as nasri and menez. all 3 extra talented, but inconsistent dickheads. hope they won't be in the team for brazil, that 87 generation should be forgotten and berried for the national team.
