Serie A

Napoli leading 3-0 v Sassuolo 35mins into the game. Spalletti is a brilliant manager.

Kvaratskehlia is having a hell of a season, that is now 6 goals & 5 assists in 12 games. Someone is going to pay a huge fee for him in the summer.
Hope not, thankfully for Napoli their owner is no pushover and his hard line approach has kept them competing for a long time now since their rise from Serie C days. After Jorginho-gate, Man-City blacklisted Napoli and won’t speak to them again; so at least that’s one off the list. 😅

You have to admire everything they did with offloading Insigne, Koulibaly etc (to losers like us) and the level of squad building involved, truly the benchmark right now; the scouting that took place there is something to marvel at, truly.

I agree you have to give Napoli praise for the way they made business on the market this summer. They sold their topearner(Koulibaly) and let their other two topearners(Insigne, Mertens) plus the majority of their older players leave for free, replaced them effectively via good scouting, made a small profit on the market, lowered the cost of their squad significantly and improved as a team, kudos to them.

 
Roma winning 3-1 away  at Verona. Two late goals giving them the win.

Verona down to 10men from the 36th minute.

Spaletti drives a fiat panda and it was stolen in may and the Napoli Ultras made a banner that they would return the car if he would resign 

he also has a pet duck and had a 2 year sabbatical on his Tuscan farm, when he got sacked by Inter and Conte replaced him 

at one point Abramovich talked to him to become Chelsea manager but he didn’t feel it was the right move (and he doesn’t speak a word of English)

 
big fan 

some little thing I like about the Serie A is the high shirt numbers 

Napoli has 

68 Lobotka

77 Kvaratskhelia

81 Raspadori

99 Anguissa 

55 Østigard 

70 Gaetano

91 Ndombele 

I don’t think it’s allowed in the PL?

Napoli 8 points clear now 

AC Milan to play at 19.45 UK time to try and reduce it to 5 (Ampadu is starting for Spezia)

Napoli without Kvaratskhelia won away to Atalanta

Oshimen was magnificent again 

have to say that Lookman is playing well for Atalanta too

Jeremy Boga got some minutes as well

Well well well 

this is interesting… Daniele Maldini scored for Spezia against his parent club Milan … 1-1…

 
Giroud takes his shirt off when he’s on a yellow 

but he scored the winner 

brilliant goal though

Tomori has really gone off the boil, can see why Southgate doesn’t rate him. 

Giroud with a sweaty goal at the end, great goal nonetheless.. but it’s a game Milan should have won comfortably really; would have been nice for Napoli to extend their lead further but not to be. The games tomorrow should be interesting for the top 4 race, Inter/Juve & Roma/lazio. 

 
Torino couldn’t follow up beating AC Milan last week. They went down 2-1 away at Bologna.

Lazio beat Roma 1-0, AC Milan won 2-1 against Spezia. Sampdoria went down 2-0 at home to Fiorentina.
