Kind of an unwritten rule in Italia that huge thrashings such as that are disrespectful. When the code is broken it's seen as a sign of poor sportsmanship (Roma-Catania 7-0 from several years back, there was a brawl at the end).

The only time I really find it acceptable is if it's against rivals because then all bets are off. Completely different beast there. And there's a reason why most of the people who argue this point are Serie A fans, it's a unique mentality I suppose. Rispetto.

Corriere della Sera, yes. One of the leading papers in Italia, not a tabloid.

There's a nice article I read a while back that explains well our opinion but I couldn't find it again the last time this discussion came up.

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it Quick before Madrid make another troll bid!

Abidal showed he's capable of playing some part in the team, Tito I'm not so sure about.

Hi Icardi :D

Happy birthday Leo :D

Thank you, glad someone else sees it that way besides me. It's just not needed.

AKA the cool kids thread On topic, Mario is injured & might not play against Spain.

So is that why you support Barcelona too or...?

Yeah I don't think any of the Barca B goalkeepers will ever make it to the first team. We should look at Marchetti again damn it :D if that rumor was even true.

I like Diamanti. And Marrone isn't useless, he just doesn't get the playing time in that midfield. He was doing well for Italia U21s before he picked up that injury.

I love spitting on the current logo & I'd hate it to be changed :VdB: In all seriousness though, I'd be upset too if it were my club. At least get the supporters' input first (like that will ever happen in this "business" anymore, but hey).

Yeah exactly, I mean I follow Spain because of our players & that's my choice. I'm not Catalan & so not invested as much in the politics (I care to an extent & would probably support Catalunya instead if their NT was allowed to play in tournaments, but I'm not staunchly anti-Spain). But the...

Ew really? Why? I mean I know crests for a lot of clubs have changed at least once over the years, but in current times I'm not a fan of crest changes, gives me a bit of the feeling that it has less meaning as a symbol if it can just be changed like that. Or maybe partly because the new ones...

The notion among some Barca fans that there is only one type of good football & everyone else must not know what they're talking about/has no business watching the sport does border on arrogant. If someone prefers counterattacking, defensive football, or kick & rush or whatever else, so what...

I saw something the other day about PSG being interested. Other than that, no.

Really? I think the new one looks awful.

I think Hummels is good but he's not the player we need as long as Pique is here. They're too similar, we need our CB pairing to complement each other, not duplicate.
