Looks like Parma are going to be an amateur club in the fourth division next season. What a fall they're having, wasn't long ago that they had players like Buffon, Cannavaro, Thuram and Crespo in the same team.

The team above was the one that started their UEFA Cup final win in 1999.

It's been more than 10 years. I don't know about you, but that's a long time to me.

Looks like Reina is coming back to Napoli after Bayern signed Ulrich from Stuttgart.

Roma - Juve just getting going. I reckon Roma will win because that Juve side doesn't look that great to me.

Roma: Szczesny; Florenzi, Manolas, De Rossi, Digne; Pjanic, Keita, Nainggolan; Falque, Dzeko, Salah.

Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Padoin, Pogba, Evra; Dybala, Mandzukic.

This is like the Roma of old (the season before last), Digne is offering so much down the left, if Dzeko can keep peeling to the back post then they will have a nice little link-up this year.

Brilliant result

Hanging on a bit last couple of minutes but it was a well deserved win. 4 points ahead of Juve already!

Dreadful game. We were on the back foot from the get go. No midfield control whatsoever, couldn't keep the ball when we finally did get possession and didn't deserve anything. Only came into the game once Pereyra came on in midfield and gave us some much needed drive.

Naturally, I expected the side to struggle a bit early on because our approach is going to be overhauled given the loss of Pirlo and Vidal. However, that could take a while going by what's been served up so far.

Inter are laughing.

Juve have got 2 points from 3 home games v Udinese, Chievo and Frosinone. Napoli are way too inconsistent. Roma, unfortunately, would find a way of not winning the league even if Juve, Inter, Napoli, Milan, Fio etc were wiped off the face of the earth. Shame as there's a squad there more than capable, and this year might be the 'easiest' (for want of a better word) to win it, with Juve faltering.

Serie A seems so boring these days.

I looked on ESPN earlier and after a half hour all eight games were still 0-0.

Has it gotten ridiculously defensive the last few years?

No.

The league has somewhat evened out quality wise and there isn't a gulf between the top sides and the rest like there once was. Because of this there can be a bit of a struggle for sides to be broken down effectively. Most games tend to feature sides unable to score more than 1-2 goals a game, blowouts are less frequent. There's only been one scoreless game thus far and that was the Capri-Inter game just recently.

Quite the opposite, highest goals per game average in Europe's top 5/6 leagues last season and same again so far this campaign.

Carpi-Napoli it was btw, Verse!
