After 3 giornate, only 3 clubs are still at full points: Sampdoria, who defeated Atalanta 1-0 in Bergamo with a goal from Daniele Mannini; Juventus, who saw Lazio off with a 2-0 win thanks to Martin Caceres and David Trezeguet; and Genoa, who thumped Napoli 4-1 with Sergio Floccari, Giandomenico Mesto, Hernan Crespo, and Houssine Kharja all scoring their first goals of the season.

It was a weekend of some nice goals. First, let's just say that Fabio Quagliarella ALMOST scored the goal of the season (he did however score 2 goals on the night). You can watch that video here. Diego scored his first goals in Serie A, Julio Cruz scored his first goals for Lazio, Alberto Paloschi continues to look more and more like the new Pippo Inzaghi, Giampaolo Pazzini continues to score, and Antonio Cassano worked some magic again.

(highlights di Atalanta-Sampdoria)

Some nice goals this week. We're still very early into the season, but two possible goal of the year candidates were scored this weekend. Samuel Eto'o's strike vs. Parma and Giandomenico Mesto's screamer vs. Napoli are joys to behold. Goals of the week after the jump.

Today's highlights feature Cagliari vs Siena and Atalanta vs Genoa Cagliari 1-3 Siena...

Lazio coach Davide Ballardini has called on his players to show they are worthy of their lofty league position when they play Juventus on Saturday.

Two consecutive victories have placed the Roman side as joint Serie A leaders with the Bianconeri, Sampdoria and Genoa.

But this weekend's encounter in Rome should prove if Lazio have what it takes to remain in the higher echelons of the top flight having so far come up against Atalanta and Chievo, who did not really test Ballardini's men.

La pesante sconfitta per 4 gol a 1, rimediata dalla squadra bergamasca al San Nicola contro lo scatenato Bari di Ventura, nella quarta giornata della Serie A di Calcio, ha fatto traboccare il vaso. Per risollevare le sorti della squadra (unica nella Serie A ad aver rimediato tutti ko fino a questo momento), la societ ha deciso di optare, senza perdere ulteriore tempo, per il cambio tecnico.

I always like to watch videos of bloopers, and this time I've found a Serie A blooper video from the early 2000's. Always entertaining, and it includes a mistake from Buffon!! (how often do you see those?)

Video after the jump.

And since we're on the topic of Buffon mistakes, here's another one I remember from a couple of years ago:

Petulance cant be defined as moved to or showing sudden, impatient irritation, esp. over some trifling annoyance: a petulant toss of the head.
Synonyms:irritable, peevish, fretful, pettish, touchy.
I used to think and feel that Jose Mourinho played the role of an arrogant if not petulant child in order to befuddle his opponents to the point of distraction.

Tuesday night we witnessed the everlasting phenomenom that is Filippo Inzaghi. Score a few goals. Check! Remind everyone he's still around. Check! We've been here before haven't we?

Being a rarely casual follower of Serie A these days, it's a bit of a shock when Inzaghi pops up to decide games.

Lots of goals scored this week, with only one 0-0 draw (Napoli-Udinese) and many teams scoring 3+ goals. There were some nice ones this week. Goals after the jump.

Emanuel Rivas vs. Atalanta - The Bari midfielder scores a nice opening goal. Dribbles to the center and unleashes a laser strike from around 20 yards out.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Theo Walcott is on the verge of an Arsenal comeback against Olympiakos in the Champions League at the Emirates tomorrow night.

That's according to this morning's Sun, which backs up the claim with quotes from Arsene Wenger on Walcott, who has been out since June after hurting his back on England U-21 Euro duty.

Sampdoria are top of the table alone for the first time in 18 years. A week ago I wrote an article saying that Sampdoria could be the surprise of the season, and right now that hypothesis is still holding up. While it's almost impossible for them to win the scudetto and considering the fact that Gigi Del Neri's teams usually suffer a drop in form after the winter break, they should be challenging for a spot in Europe next season, whether that be Europa League or Champions League that remains to be seen.

After midweek fixtures in Italy as well as this weekend's results, all of the Serie A clubs have played two more games and we are left with surprise leaders of Serie A.

Midweek results:

Palermo 3-3 Roma

Lazio 1-2 Parma

Udinese 1-0 Milan

Siena 0-0 Chievo

Fiorentina 2-0 Sampdoria

Bari 0-1 Cagliari

Bologna 2-0 Livorno

Atalanta 0-0 Catania

Inter Milan 3-1 Napoli

Genoa 2-2 Juventus

A late equaliser from Totti saved Roma a point at the Renzo Barbera while the dark days at AC Milan appear to be getting ever darker as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Udinese.

I'm just going to throw it out there: this might be the worst goals of the week post of all time. Nothing spectacular at all this weekend, most goals were very plain and ordinary. Of the 18 goals scored this weekend, about 3 are top goal worthy. But let's see this week's goals of the week (hoping that Giornata 7 brings us better ones):

Massimo Maccarone vs.
