Hibee - Comments

Great quote in the new World Soccer from Montpellier's chairman:

"You can always turn round a bad start to the season if you have smart players - but three-quarters of mine are morons."

This is the same guy that called Galliani 'Kojak' and dyed his hair in the clubs colours when they won the league.

Uefa have opened disciplinary proceedings against Lazio after the racist chanting from 50 or so of our 'fans' in the Spurs game last night. It's our first offense so it's likely to just be a fine but the sad thing is it won't do any good. Those doing the chanting were almost certainly from one of the right wing groups that infect the Curva Nord in Rome and their loyalty is to their group first and the club second.

Thank god that's over. Spurs maybe should have been given that goal from the corner but the other two calls were probably right.

That second should have counted.

Halfway there. Spurs have been the better side and punishing us down our left but we've had a few chances on the break, shame Klose left his shooting boots in Rome.

Credit to the Lazio fans in the ground, totally out singing the Spurs fans throughout the half.

Inter have been shocking at home in Europe, lost both qualifiers I think

Edit - lost one drew one, either way, both were games they should have won.

Here we go...

Crap, that's quite a good team...

Here's Lazio - Marchetti; Cavanda, Biava, Dias, Lulic; Ledesma; Gonzalez, Hernanes, Onazi, Mauri; Klose

The players in bold are kids and pretty much untested at Serie A level, never mind Europe.

I think they just pop his name in to get people's attention. BBC Sport had a thing last week linking Rafa with the Southampton job.

After seeing their lineup I wasn't expecting Udinese to get anything tonight, great to see Napoli doing so well despite all their changes.

Some game this!

Thought I'd pop this thread in here with the weekend getting close. Would one of our staff members mind pinning it?

Hopefully this means he'll get a bit of run in the side. He's had half of last season to get used to his new surroundings so there's no reason they shouldn't start using him more, especially after blowing €10m on him.

It can't be easy with every paper saying he has the next game or two to save his job. Deep down he must know he's out of his depth and it's sad to see him sticking with his 4-3-1-2 rather than taking a risk and trying something different.

That's one of the stories doing the rounds, a team of Mauro Tassotti (current Asst Man) and Inzaghi taking over till the end of the season.

Seems things are kicking off at Milan. Allegri popped down to Inzaghi's training session with the youth team and had a go at him for trying to take his job.

Napoli 1 up against AIK, turns out Edu Vargas can score goals after all.

Nice first post...

Anyway, read this earlier where the author talks about living with the grave misfortune to have grown up a Raith Rovers fan.

From their comments pre match it looks like Petko and AVB are both taking the Europa League seriously. I really hope tonight's Lazio team reflects that as we don't have a huge amount of depth and Spurs are likely to take a weakened side apart.

Sounds good Rob, the careers area does sound like it was a bit of a nightmare to organize but having both areas running side by side does seem the best option.
