Probably needed to be Atalanta that scored first. Completely switched off at the far post though

That was a lovely goal in its simplicity.
Phonics is going to be very annoyed at all of this watching teams from other countries. They wont manage you, you know.
Might as well do my Serie A team of the season then.Originally Posted by Gray Fox

LookmanThink he scored a fairly similar one recently.
Atalanta are up there with Fiorentina as the chief bottlers in Italy, so this is very much not over, even without Leverkusen’s guaranteed goal after 85mins
That's filth.
Nice of Leverkusen to give the neutrals what we want - all primed for a 90+1 and 90+6 bit of excitement now.
I'm a twit
Imagine having Ademola Lookman ruining your season for the ages, aided and abetted by Davide Zappacosta.
Yeah, they probably need a couple more to make this safe.
What's gone on in Naples then? Not often your defending champions finish 41 points off the pace.
Didn't their media team racially abuse Osimhen?
This TNT commentator has said Atalanta about three times and La Dea about twenty. You know how to use wikipedia, good on you.
Losing Spaletti & replacing him with a guy who openly admitted he hadn’t watched them in his first press conference probably wasn’t a great start. Not often a defending champ goes through three managers in a season, but despite talk of Conte it looks like they’re probably taking Vincenzo Italiano off Fiorentina.
Their chairman seems like he probably doesn’t help things a lot of the time either, and that Osimhen post is also definitely not ideal.
Asking Lozano to take a pay cut to stay with them was also amateur stuff.
That could be enough.
What a goal. Some stunning finishes from him
This is peak Atalanta
Dude has had a quality performance.
Cool as you like.
Apparently you can take the Everton out of the boy.
Better get Patrik Schick ready fast.
Timed that well.
Kompany to Bayern is done apparently.
Absolutely nuts.Kompany to Bayern is done apparently.
They've gone full retard.
I kinda hope he does well for them. Such a mad appointment but you only get one shot at a job like that.
Koopmeiners is some plur.
Some really good players in this Atalanta team. They seem a bit of a moneyball side.
Craig Bellamy coaching at BayernKompany to Bayern is done apparently.
A lot of them were considered failures at their previous clubs, which says a lot about Gasperini really.
They’re the example for every team stuck in midtable. They’ve rebuilt the side multiple times with academy players & smart shopping in the bargain bin & they’ll probably do it again this summer.
The executives at various clubs seem to have lost their minds recently. Maybe it's a classic case of already rich people thinking they're smarter than they actually are.
I always like watching the guy who hands out the medals blindly reaching backwards so his lackey can put the medal in his hand.
I was just about to post the bit of the BBC report referring to him as 'former Charlton Athletic winger'. This is how Italians must have lolled at us taking their has-beens thirty years ago.
Hansi Flick at Barca?
Does that mean Xavi quit, was persuaded stay, and then sacked? Lol.
Pretty much. He called the board shite (they are) so they booted him.
Can’t see Flick being any kind of success there.
Sounds like Paqueta will be getting charged for deliberately trying to get a yellow card on four different occasions. He’s lucky the police aren’t involved
When he returned from a spell on the side-lines when he was first charged it took about 5 games until bookies started giving odds for him to be carded again. Odds were always wank too sadly.
The bets are traced back to ‘Paqueta Island’ apparently.
Wut.
Thiago Motta officially leaving Bologna & expected to be the new Juventus manager, or as it's being reported locally:
Looking more and more likely Ten Hag will be out after the FA cup regardless of result.
McKenna, Frank, Tuchel, and Pochettino the names on the list.
Distinct lack of ex-Pompey trialists on that list.
Italy having 9 teams in Europe next season and Napoli finishing 10th would be hilarious. What a fall off
What a shit list that is. Might as well go with McKenna because why not try something wacky.
Wazza's looking to restore his reputation as a manager.
This Paqueta betting thing is gonna get messy. How do you prove that a player intentionally got booked? Even if they have evidence of his brother or mate placing bets on it happening, I don't see how you can actually ban the player... unless he has placed bets himself. Does the FA take it on balance of probabilities... which would then presumably be overturned by CAS.
Tuchel aside, that United list makes Arne Slot look like an inspiring appointment.
What's with the hard-on for McKenna all of a sudden? He's done a good job at Ipswich sure but surely you want to see what he can do in the Premier League before you appoint him either at Ipswich or some cannon fodder mid-table team.
Like anything, you follow the money. They wouldn't charge Paqueta unless they had reason to believe his involvement.
Newcastle (and Spurs') post-season Melbourne match was probably the least competitive thing I've seen. Maddison opened the scoring after Pope just booted the ball at him in the box. Maddison handled it but the appeals were half-arsed. Isak scored at the end of the first half with our first proper attack. It was a tap in. He didn't celebrate. Level after 90 minutes, it went to penalties. Ange seemed very confused about that. Our five takers were all bairns. Garang Kuol was contractually obliged to play his Newcastle debut and stuck his penalty away. Bryan Gil had his saved so we won 5-4.
We're currently trailing an A-League All Stars team 2-0. Post-season games are shit.
One bookie had a ridiculous amount of large bets on Paqueta bookings out of nowhere didn't they? Mad that Tonali and Toney have been arse raped for betting on games but Paqueta has allegedly been directly influencing them for betting purposes and yet played all season.
He is going to be banned for 10+ years so I’m sure Toney/Tonali won’t be complaining too much
That'll be another bullet City have somehow dodged in the transfer market
