Napoli was just ordered to change stadium seats due to safety concerns via UEFA.

Wonder what will happen if they don't get them changed in time.


The season needs to hurry up and start already.

Did he ever actually dress up as the guy from the movies? I know he promised he would if Juve won the scudetto.

Also, the new Lega Pro groups were announced today, remember that C1 and C2 are no more and now there is just one big Lega Pro, with 3 groups of 20 teams each, separated by geographical locations. For the first time in history, Vicenza has an actual league derby, they will face the poorly named upstart fuckers Real Vicenza during the season.

Siena with one N, it's not a Toyota.

Also there's nobody taking the place, it'll just be a 21 league team this year, and I think 20 next year.

I had an ex that learned about "n"s after asking my grandmother for another bowl of pene. Ironically, her enjoyment of pene is part of why we broke up...

In more interesting news, it doesn't look like Vidal is actually going anywhere aside from the tour of Asia that Juve are currently on. Allegri is saying that he committed to Juve, the team have said that they'll only move him if he asks for a transfer, and Vidal himself hasn't said anything other than " I do not go to Manchester." :v:

I'm honestly glad that it looks like we're gonna keep him at least another year, so long that if/when we do sell him we get a large ransom in return.

You just stress the consonant when it's doubled like that, holding the sound longer. The difference is subtle but noticeable when the length is shortened.

So how is those groups going to work? Top 4 teams from each group goes into a 12 league midway in the season and the top 2 goes into Serie B with the last spot goes to the winner of a playoff?

Four teams get relegated from B, so there will be the champions of each group + a playoff winner. Im not sure how big the playoffs will be though.

Speaking of playoffs, I must admit that I thought the new Serie B variable-size playoff was a really cool idea (apart from Bari getting screwed by the "higher league position advances" rule) and should be adopted by more leagues.

It would all be a hell of a lot easier if they just decided to relegate 3 teams instead. Three go up and three go down each way.

It gives the upper teams in each group something to play for once one team inevitably starts running the whole group mid-season. That's the best reasoning why it is like that in my opinion.

None taken--my own linguistic gently caress-ups have been plentiful, I assure you!

When should we expect the fixtures for Lega Pro? (Or are they out? I've looked at some team websites and haven't seen anything.) They are some very fun potential matches involving the Tuscan teams and I would find, for example, Pisa-Lucchese* to be wildly entertaining.

While on the topic of minor teams, I know we're less than a week away from the first turn of the Coppa Italia--it would be cool to find a match or two to stream.

*One could argue that Lucca was the troll of Tuscany back in the day (they resisted the Grand Duchy among many other exploits)...this makes me kind of want to see Lucchese do well.

I've been looking online for more information about this thing but I can't find anything at all. The only thing I know is that it has a certificate of authenticity with it, and it's from 1990-ish. Not really interested in the cost (though I'll admit I'm curious) but I really want to know why these things were made, and in limited quantity.

I've also just been struck by the realization that if Serie A limits the amount of foreign players that Fiorentina are going to hurt a lot. I think we only have 3 in our starting 11? More if some of the lesser players get to step up. 2 from Chile, 3 Argentina, 3 Spain, etc. It'll be crazy for sure.

I'm also curious on how Ciprian Tătărușanu is going to fit in. He doesn't seem the type that wants to play back up. Neither does Neto after so many years on the bench.


Silly season needs to hurry up and end. I'm already convinced that we aren't going to sign anyone over 10m or anything like that. I'm glad we are getting some defenders, which we needed pretty bad imo. If no one bids for Cuadrado by the end of the week, chances are he won't move.

Also, are we going to do a Serie A fantasy football thing? I'm willing to help throw in for a prize for the top team or whatever. We just need to decide what.

I think a lot of clubs put out things like that just for fun. That particular one looks like a commander's coin or a unit coin from the military :)

We will. I was just wondering if there was any interest. Unless we get like 10 people or more or something, there isn't really even a point to it.

It does kind of look like a commander's coin. I have one the size of a belt buckle. It's really huge.
