New La Dea Rising - Serie A 2020-21

[Gert from the Well]

Probably attracted by his record of Europa league qualifications with Milan and Napoli, but there is always a question of whether he was underachieving considering the resources at his disposal. He seems to be good at motivation and creating a good atmosphere but tactically is another matter. It could be worse Walter Zenga is still available.

Gattuso is the new manager of Fiorentina, which is a state of affairs I had only thought possible in Mad Libs

[Gert from the Well]

Venezia won the play-off to return to Serie A for the first time in twenty years, here'e hoping they can loan in the next Alvaro Recoba for the next season.

The managerial roundabout is now in full swing. Conte leaves Inter to be replaced by Simone Inzaghi and Allegri returns to Juventus. Ranieri has left Sampdoria and looks like Gattuso will be leaving Napoli. At this rate it looks like only Milan and Atlanta will start next season with the same coach as started the previous season.

Tottenham are in the Conference League

I didn't see any of Leicester today, but Napoli just froze on the occasion. They were lucky to get a draw.

[Seven Saxon Kings]

Not Arsenal

Or Spurs either but that was decided weeks ago. Today, Chelsea, Liverpool, Juventus and Milan all got in at the expense of Leicester and Napoli. They just always find a way.

The Veronese will be loving this.

England and Italy, of course the super league clubs get in in the end. Of course they fucking do.

Not Arsenal

[ursus arctos]

Champions: Inter
CL: Milan, Atalanta, Juventus
Europa League: Napoli, Lazio
Conference League: Roma

Relegated: Benevento, Crotone, Parma

England and Italy, of course the super league clubs get in in the end. Of course they fucking do.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Useless bastards. They should have given the verona defenders rohypnol, as a tribute to the great man, and that great game

[blameless]

Fuck's sake Napoli, you had one job to do.

[ursus arctos]

This is all going to shit

Roma equalise

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

You can hear the atalanta fans outside the ground. Come on napoli you useless bastards.

[ursus arctos]

The first tiebreaker is head to head, which is why Atalanta can't fall out of the Champion League places

[George]

The bastards will pull it off. You know it and I know it.

Verona have equalized.

[danielmak]

If Juve catch Atalanta on goal difference (is that the decider for same points in Serie A) then I think an investigation of Bologna player bank accounts will need an examination.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Emerson leao hits the post when through on goal. That might well have been curtains for juventus.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Napoli have scored. Milan in second have 79 points. Juventus in fifth have 78 points. That's pretty tight. If atalanta equalize, they will finish second and milan will finish fifth. This is pretty tense.

[ursus arctos]

Milan score from a penalty against the run of play in Bergamo, making Napoli's lot worse

Juve are now 3-0 up

Spezia get a second and it looks like Jose will have his midweeks free next season

[ursus arctos]

Juve.get a second
Right now Napoli are odd man out

[ursus arctos]

Roma down 1-0 early at Spezia, which would give the last European place to Sassuolo
Jive up early at Bologna

[elguapo4]

Juventus in the Champions League places at the moment, come on Bologna ffs.

[Discordant Resonance]

Good news from Serie B, where Berlusconi's Monza plans have hit the buffers, as Citadella set up a Veneto play-off final derby against Venezia - so a side who've never played in Serie A meet one who were last in the top flight in the year 2000.

[elguapo4]

We don't make it easy on ourselves.

[Gert from the Well]

Lazio hit the post in the 95th minute - and Toro survive!
