xj2006 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Was wondering if anyone has been following the Serie A this season? Udinese are currently top of the pile Napoli are 3rd as well The usual suspects are all hanging around the top half too. Just watching Milan v Napoli just now.. very engaging game, although it is only 0-0 at half time, Napoli down to 10 men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napoli have had a great start to the season I wonder if the bubble has burst tonight? Cannavaro looked a class act though I reckon Napoli can at least get a top 6 finish my fave Italian teams: AC Milan and of course A.C.

JonaTon Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Do any TV channels show Serie A matches at the moment? The only place I've seen them shown live is on the websites of some of the betting companies but I hate watching matches on them. On Serie A, I see Inter beat Juventus 1-0 to stay top of the table. I started getting into Serie A because of channel 4's coverage when Gazza moved to Lazio. I started to follow Inter's results after watching Aston Villa put them out of the UEFA Cup in 1994/95. The Ruben Sosa / Dennis Bergkamp strike force was the main reason. Twitter - JMitchell82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El gofer Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Did Ehiogu or Fashanu score a late winner in that game Jona?? I seem to remember an absolute cracker of a game involving Villa and Inter years back 20.1.09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same.. fell in love with Italian football, and to a lesser degree the culture, due to Channel 4 The first ever Serie A game I watched was Sampdoria v Lazio.. ended 3-3 I recall watched on a wee tv with a fuzzy reception.... was awesome! channel 5 lost the rights to show Serie A this season (probably due to low viewing figures last season and them not willing to spend the cash again), so I just stream the games when I get a chance Inter scored a big win this weekend.. 1-0 at home to Juve Milan faltered with a 2-2 draw away to Torino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember an absolute cracker of a game involving Villa and Inter years back No mate, although Ehiogu was brilliant in the second leg and I'm sure Fashanu played in the first leg. Inter won the first leg 1-0 at the San Siro. Ruben Sosa dived to win a penalty and Dennis Bergkamp converted. Villa won the second leg 1-0 with Ray Houghton scoring against Gianluca Pagliuca for the second time in a couple of months having scored the winner when ROI beat Italy 1-0 at USA '94. It was a great match though. Villa ended up winning 4-3 on pens. Phil King smashed home the winning penalty to send Villa through. have vague memories of this also big fash the bash celebrating like a madman in front of the holte end the days when they had the half blue half claret retro umbro kit (the one with the tassles - the 1930's look) no idea if any of the above is true or is just my imagination.... That was my favourite ever Villa strip but was from 92-93 season. The strip they wore that night was a claret strip with blue pin stripes and the Muller Rice sponsor.

I remember watching it with my dad thinking we were in for a treat every Sunday, but the games soon became proper Italian after that. Still great though, Gazzetta Football on a Saturday morning was brilliant. Don't Bravo have the rights at the moment?

xj2006 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just finished watching Roma v Milan Probably one the best Italian games I have ever seen Finished 2-2 some wonderful goals end to end stuff Beckham also played 89 mins and looked ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Is italian football still shown on the tv here? There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always suspected that he would like to remain in Italy and hope it turns out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Is italian football still shown on the tv here? It's a real pity it is not on five anymore .It was worthwhile alone for the bird who helped present the show I know Serie A may not be the league it once was but it will always hold a unique allure for me, probably because it was the first foreign league to be shown here. Italian football is not everyone's cup of tea but I've always found the game there - and everything else that surrounds it culturally and politically - really interesting.

I have similar feelings (especially about the bird who co-presented the show ) Italian football not being shown is a shame... I just stream it but it is not the same as watching on the TV in proper quality. The quality is a million times better than SPL and the league boats such talents as Ronadinho, Pato, Seedorf, Del Piero, Mancini, Paulo Maldini (he is about 40 now and still playing) I could list many more but you get the point. Also I think the entertainment factor is a lot higher just now too.. very rarely do you get the bore draws as most teams believe they can beat each other.
