No. But I don't think he was signed in time to play.

No, he wasn't available due to not signing for the club in time.

Also a short delay on paperwork

Inter v Roma on now, if anyone's interested. I think Inter will win this, quite comfortably.

Oh Christ, you're back. Thank goodness for ignore lists.

At least I had the cojones to make a prediction. Big deal, it hasn't panned out. Its not like I've bet money on it.

Just before half time and Cassano bags an equaliser for Inter, via a massive deflection.

At least it means the second half should be interesting!

Lolsvaldo. Probably the most retarded red card I have ever seen. Justified, yes, but absolutely retarded. He was probably trying to shield his face from the clearance... too pretty for a bruise. :rofl2:

Exciting day in Serie A. Lots of goals scored in every game. I also find it funny how Napoli won 2-1, with just 1 shot on target (thx own goal).

Nah, he blocked it with his hands... jazz hands style.

Came across this stat on twitter:

Wesley Sneijder: During Claudio Ranieri's reign, Inter won 22% of their league games with Sneijder starting; 59% without him -

Very interesting to see his drop off in form since Mourinho's departure.

Piece about Criscito missing out on the Euros.

^I think he'll end up regretting not joining United when he was given the chance. Like alot of players under Jose, he made them excel and brought out the best in them. Sneijder's one of a handful of Inter players who were instrumental in their Treble winning season. I think he'll be at Inter till the end of his contract - like he has said in a recent interview - and return to Ajax.

Conte suspension upheld.

Please note that this has nothing to do with Juve.

Sorry for the double post....

Milan lost to Atalanta 1-0 at the San Siro. That means they've lost their first two home league games, the first time this has happened since the 1931/32 season. The thing is, they deserved to lose. Urby Emanuelson was Milan's best player.... I still can't fathom why they took Bojan from Roma.
