I see Toto Schillaci has died aged 59. RIP.

What a great few weeks that was in 1990.

I wonder if this is not a long life for your average Italian international footballer riddled with who knows what during their careers.

Obviously I’ve gone off Conte big time but I’d say he’ll win the league comfortably with Napoli this season. Not in Europe either so they’ll have a clear run at it.

The Fiorentina one, taken by Moise Kean, was very much of the Ander Herrera school. But the two De Gea has saved were good stops in fairness.

Roma just sacked their manager, hopefully no honeymoon for their new gaffer when they visit WHL in a fortnight…

That makes as much sense as bringing back De Rossi, which I heard suggested somewhere.
