Serie A, bitches!
Half kidding. Roma and Inter are just slow and boring.

Holy fuck just saw the Stekelenburg video. When his leg gave a spasm after he went down you could tell it was serious. Poor guy. I hope he recovers for himself and for Roma, as they seriously need a good keeper.

Bojan was terrible the last game. I've not seen Roma-Inter, but if there isn't goals, I wouldn't imagine it's from Bojan's absence.

wtf . Taking off Forlan who was looking like the only one likely to get a goal for Muntari. Fans booing.

An excellent and highly entertaining performance by Barca today (one-side for 80%+ of the time though). Still noticed that the defense needs improvement, definitely. It's a shame (for us Barca fans) that they tied last time, as this game would have put them ahead of Madrid even if they won tomorrow. (Unless Madrid scores another 6-0/7-1, etc).
You are right fellow Madrid fan (seriously). Even with last week with Barcelona tying R.S. and Madrid conceding 2 goals against Getafe, it was a turning point with the whole "La Liga" is a joke idea.
Also, WTH happened to Inter? They were a lot more entertaining than this.

Sorry for being slow Meus, but would you mind explaining that bit about the username? Wouldn't mind joining.

Bojan's only played the one game. He was good in pre-season though. He could be a great addition to Roma. But I think Roma's main problem is that everyone is so beholden to Totti and his tremendous ego. In theory, it makes perfect sense to have him as the so-called bandiera player who exemplifies what it means to play for Roma. But in practice, it means that you're building your squad around a 34 year old who too often is found butting heads with coaches who are, as a result of the bizarre Roma power dymanic, forced to shoehorn tactics to give this player/manager/president maximum play time. It's insane. Del Piero, on the other hand, is the example of a bandiera player who has given his all for the team but also understands that his role in the team cannot be the same as when he was in his late twenties. Del Piero plays when he is called upon and makes his impact. Totti---he's a great player, but if he loves Roma so much he needs to accept that sometimes what's best for Roma is for him to sit his ass on the bench and wait his turn.
On the other hand, as a Juventus fan, Roma should keep going as they have.

Awesome article about how AVB does not care about mind games.
Gasperini will not last long at this rate...

Basically type out the code you see there and add the username you made on Kik where the "username" is. For example "FadyK" If that doesn't make sense, just PM your chosen username and I'll add you to footy gaf. Make it FadyK and use the same avatar here

Juve made their call-ups for Sienna tomorrow. No Estigarribia called up yet, and it sounds like it's partly [url="http://www.juventus.com/wps/portal/en/news/17settembre2011_conte_eng/!ut/p/b1/tZLLsqJADIafxQfg0BcFXTb3BuGANiBsKEBUEAQFYeTpx6maWczC3UwWSaXqr_ryJ-Fj_sDHt3Qsz-lQtre0_tXHQoIEstlZOgTADTRAbZfqTGIBdBEf8gcjHyWlp2eFKN6D0yi6tHo-evPQ93JXWCGQkcyNfVpxyRRRXTvGc0UyV0pOfuh2beCk1Uvwou4o1Up4Ey0pqkP3xqhVPy7aeuN3fnW6j6IWLtXVhZWrAixR8V0M6_UZ1YCg6MUs3PudvWWP09jL7dG7ZdNiwZt8XGbN15Q3X-ALr7GAMBQweuflWuCDKgI_3nNPihq4S9GIYl8rIy4nnf8MBhqFpi_4TxWt3p6xaWXJZUxAb7vGQ7qPnirXteOUSXi1jabCrDI9pqty005p4nu63tpticxkssSIZPhQpSPrCTFrdIf1-nUXdVza4mHIzcmoLycOvoY-X00rGBJ7H6HHE95x5ajX5ewiUFT51qU2cuHzWUCOm7bX7CqX793Hf59HZ8IGUM_ViGpvIKDibwH4EATwjtE2BR-9ZWKCANA3EiRAx1sJUN_SjK0kwu894hl_AMtkX706Ol_nXQUmMMwe3PuDBRUf27PBHKbOeyd29pWKoQpeveIBptC5Zx5km8w9BjtfInIy0mf-B_jhr3b4fwE_OYT_HNg1Y7OhnD6-65ksFj8BPFPzZA!!/dl4/d5/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/?urile=wcm%3apath%3a%2fjuvecom-en%2fnews%2f17settembre2011_conte_eng]problems regarding language and just generally getting settled[/url]. From that article, it also seems plain that Grosso is going to start at LB rather than moving Chiellini over. My money is on either an identical lineup to last week except with Grosso. Goal.com/it/ is claiming that Krasic is going to start on the right with Pepe likely beating Giaccherini on the left, and Matri-Vucinic in the middle. Interesting how that'd work. I still think that Vucinic-Toni (replacing Matri in second half) could be a deadly partnership. Toni, more so than Matri, has an incredible ability to be in the right place at the right time when playing in club games. He can hold up the ball better than Matri, create space from Vucinic, and get on the end of Andrea Pirlo and Lichtsteiner crosses. I hope he actually features more often this year--and certainly more often than Iaquinta.

roma-inter was horrible. inter was defending so deep all game, and took off forlan for a defensive midfielder. were they playing for a draw? at home?
at least the fans booed the shit out of them.

Yeah, but muntari wasn't playing as a cdm but as an ATTACKER, we have pazzini on the bench, so why the fuck would you make that substitution? Gasperini......Frank the Great said:

luckily there's this other, much better team from milan, and they are playing napoli tomorrow. that game is shaping up to be great.
though i am a little worried that prince/ibra/robinho are all hurt . . . i hope aquilani steps up.

Yeah I don't get it either. Gasperini confuses me. I mean, on the one hand, he wasn't handed the players for his preferred formation. But when he changed formations and Inter improved tons. But then he does shit like leave Pazzini on the bench and I'm left awestruck. I mean, I dislike Moratti through and through, and this is his mess for hiring him and not keeping Leonardo, but for god's sake Rafa did less stupid things than this.
Rafa. Rafa Benitez. I KNOW!
Edit: @Yurt
He scored. That's all I care about.
