I think at least one or two players were going to leave last season but sensed they had something special between them. They wanted to give it this year to try and achieve something that would cement their names in club history.
It feels to me like this was their one chance sort of thing. Gutted for the whole team cos they deserve something for their style of football alone
Well it was brilliant. Finished 2-2. Lost their chance at the league following juve’s Friday night game. Fans were cracking. Amazing atmosphere. No idea how to post pics or vids but they were amazing. Considering the facilities are so much worse than at charlton. No programmes, no screen, a Tony scoreboard. We complain about cold water and no mirror in the ladies in the west. There was a hole inthe floor to squat over that didn’t flush and no paper or tap to wash hands after. We got in late due to the ID queue, sat in any old seat, that didn’t have a back or a number just tons of pigeon shit on every seat. People walk along the seats but no one minds. Everyone pleased to be there and support the team despite being so far away due to the running track etc. The players did a lap of thanks after the final whistle and joined in the songs. Not even their last home game!! Still in Italy now so can’t make Thursday. Will be cheering on from our apartment in Amalfi!

now they had some dodgy owners. Parmalat's story is incredible when it comes to serious fraud. debts of billions and forged billions. after them a succession of crap owners left Parma bankrupt and being demoted to Serie D. but anyone who watched Italian football in the 90s would know its great to see Parma back competing in the top flight again.
this weekend is the last round of matches. there's 5 teams involved in a relegation scrap at the bottom. other than that there isent alot of drama, i guess at the top its mainly about which Rome club finishes above the other in 3rd and 4th and if Atlanta can pip AC Milan to 6th place so they avoid a qualifying round for the Europa cup next season..
What a season. Best Serie A season in a long long time and the first season I have watched closely since the 90s/early 2000s... absolutely brilliant ending with inter getting the UCL spot. Expecting to see big things from them next season. Excited for next season to kick off already with all top 4 in with a chance next season. Juve’s time at the top is coming to an end with the other teams getting a lot stronger once again. Also looking forward to seeing how Parma do. Wouldn’t it be great to see Buffon back there for one or two seasons as he’s still too good to retire.
Why on earth would you play a defender who's already agreed to sign for the team you're playing....................then he gives away a penalty.
Juve will still be the team to beat next season, they just got 95 points! Napoli had an incredible season, got 91 points and still couldn't win the title, and i can't see them doing any better next year.
Eleven Sports have won the rights for Serie A next season.
BT deal ended last season.
Eleven Sports have already won La Liga for next season too
They will be launching their own subscription app soon but are also in discussion with 'television networks' (so assume BT and Sky) to sell on the rights for their coverage.
Must say I watched more Serie A football last year than any other European league and almost as much as I watched Premier League.
I think BT had 3 games a weekend, going to miss it if they don't get it back.
I imagine with Ronaldo moving now too, Eleven Sports could sell their rights for a profit if they wanted to/are allowed to
Eleven Sports have confirmed their price of £6 a month or £60 for the year (£50 if you sign up before end of August)
BUT... they say they will select the best games to show, with up to 10 live games every week
They have 5 leagues (Italy, Spain, Netherlands, China & Sweden) 10 games isn't that many. BT (Italian league) and Sky (Spanish league) showed most of the games each weekend last season, by the time they select Barca, both Madrid clubs and Juve it doesn't leave many games to show some of the smaller/lower teams games.
Also, they are still in discussion with Sky and BT to get the leagues on the bigger platforms, so I'd suggest holding off signing up to any year pass until they decide what they are doing. Proper pissed off if you pay £60 for the year and they give it to BT which you already pay for.
Finally, you have to watch through the app, so are limited to tablet/phone. They hope to enable chromecast soon.
Betting sites have usually shown Serie A in the past too, not ideal but it is free.
I've just seen that Eleven Sports have the PGA golf next week too, it looks like they mean business. I think I saw it's £6 a month which I'd pay to watch a game or two a week, as long as it isn't just the top clubs shown.
I was worried napoli would fall away this season after losing Sarri but that’s a massive result after being one down. Hopefully under Ancelotti they do well in the league as well as actually trying in the Champions League. Last year they didn’t even bother with European football they were completely focused on the league.

Seems odd to leave a top 2 side and drop down the table but i guess he's being paid very well.
Milan must already know that Donnarumma is leaving then as no way he will want to be number 2. My guess is he will go to PSG.
2015-Relegated to Serie D
2016-Promoted to Serie C
2017-Promoted to Serie B
2018-Promoted to Serie A
First ever Italian side to win 3 straight promotions.
4th vs 5th
Playing for the 4th Champions League spot
Inter win and they pip Lazio to 4th, a point is enough for Lazio
Huge game financially for both teams
Place in the Champions League on the line.
Inter get (and score) a penalty after a foul by De Vrij, who is signing for Inter in the summer. 2-2
1 minute later Lazio down to ten men
2 minute later 3-2 Inter Milan

Have BT and will get eleven sports if not made available elsewhere.
But don’t have sky. Reading v Derby tonight. Streamed on my tv in perfect HD without a single stutter.
It’s so easy and needing multiple subscriptions doesn’t encourage anyone to stop streaming anytime soon.

And
Sampdoria v Fiorentina
Both called of this weekend
