The 2015/2016 Calcio Saga II

ES wrote:What is this 'Niang scoring goals'? Is it due to the fact that he had some memorable misses at age 19? (Barca, Udinese, etc)

He's scored 6 last season at Genoa and assited 2 (loan for half a season)

This season he comes back fully fit in early November after a 3 month layoff and has 6 goals and 3 assists for 12 starts

Give him some slack, he saw that one Barca game 2 years ago so he must know what he's talking about.

Now back to planet earth.

We beat Inter while they were in a slump. True, we emphatically beat them, but this is actually wasn't toughest match type.

We struggle mostly to break-up teams the park deep, and we suffer from defensive lapses against those teams. Sure, we might be able to play a good game against a team that is our equal (Inter, Viola), but it is against the lower teams that we struggle most.

If we cannot break apart those teams, we won't be able to reach our dream goal of 3rd place. However, I expect and demand from this team a top 7 finish.

Anything less would be a failed season.

Mancini gave the fans the middle finger

Later in the post match interview, he lambasts the reporter asking him about the incident, and tells her to: 'go f*ck herself'

Spoiler:

Merciless

Always felt this might happen to Inter though. Even when on form, they were grinding out most of their results. Very few clearly convincing wins and now with the loss of form, that's killing them.

I know the different XIs thing rather well though at least. We had that plenty of times with Rudi.

Wait,did they actually get thrashed by Milan ?!

Inter's season is crumbling.That 3rd spot is wide open now.

Via SportMediaset - Well we're finally getting Santon, Mole.

Not directly from NU like I thought and 6 years after the hype has died down as well as after a horror show today. That's Roma though. We're good for signings like this.

Let's hope Spalletti can do something with him and make him serviceable on our left.

When I think back when I would kill to have Santon in our team

but yet again we had Grosso/Grygera/Zebina/PDC for that position

Is there a Mancini sack thread yet?
