If the Copa del Rey is played, but hardly anyone cares about it, did it really happen? To say that some of the La Liga teams think of the cup as a nuisance would be quite an understatement. With the overloaded fixture list consisting of European and domestic matches, the Copa del Rey is near the bottom of the top teams' priorities.

Top of the Pops

Having been invaded by wingers, second strikers and midfielders last season, the Premier League top scorers chart is beginning to have a familiar look to it again. It's populated by centre-forwards. 7 games into the season the top 10 scorers in the league are all strikers.

This is a story about an honest, fair-minded, and well-meaning football club, and how they were pushed to the limit by a group of thugs, cheats, and bullies. It's an old story. It's a story that happens all over the world whenever a kid who's good at computers is forced to eat leaves by a kid who isn't good at computers; whenever a gleaming professional wrestling champion climbs into the center of the ring for a spontaneous awards ceremony only to be taken down by a folding chair from behind.

Since there is a mid-week round this Wednesday, I'll get a super Weekend Round-up post up on Thursday. If you look at the Serie A table right now, you'll see that leading the top of the table is Sampdoria (tied with Juventus, but ahead of goals scored). Sampdoria have never won their first 4 games ever in their history.

It is quite difficult to compare the career path of Fabio Capello and Marcello Lippi. Both have been successful coaches and both hail from the Italian peninsula. They both coached Juventus of Turin during their glittering managerial career, yet the similarities end there.

While Capello's playing career far surpasses that of Lippi's, the gap in accolades between the two greatly diminishes once we begin to analyze their coaching resumes.

Una piccola rivoluzione sta per avvenire in casa romanista. L'arrivo del nuovo tecnico, Claudio Ranieri, porta, naturalmente, a dei cambiamenti di natura tecnica. In attesa che finisca la pausa, dovuta alla nazionale, e riprenda la Serie A, nell'ambiente giallorosso è tempo di rinnovi (e di addii) in casa Roma: Totti e Pizarro sono vicini alla firma, per Perrotta e Taddei c'è aria di addio.

(Inter-Bari 1-1)
Risultati di calcio abbastanza delundenti per l'Inter campione d'Italia che, nell'esordio casalingo contro il Bari, non va oltre l'uno a uno. Per tradizione la squadra del sud rovina sempre la festa all'Inter costringendola a perdere punti o a mandare all'aria una competizione: come nella stagione 2002/2003, il giorno 19 dicembre 2002 quando in Coppa Italia il Bari fece fuori i nerazzurri vincendo a Milano per 2 a 1 e al 1999 quando con l'identico punteggio vinsero i baresi in serie A.

Ever since Jose Mourinho's heavenly time at Stamford Bridge came to an end, Chelsea have been living in the shadows of that great period in time for the club.

Avram Grant played using Mourinho's same system before eventually getting the axe while Luiz Felipe Scolari could not really bring a "Brazilian touch" to Chelsea's football style.

The word of the day is...persistence.

Manchester City haven't given up in their pursuit of Everton defender Joleon Lescott, despite there not being any indication from Everton that they want to let Lescott go without a serious scrap.

While their persistence might not be paying off (yet, at least), it's paying off for Hull City.

Well, it's that time of the summer again. I'm off to the old country tomorrow, so the blog will be inactive for a couple of weeks. However I will be back right before the start of the Serie A season so I'll be able to maybe get a mega-preview up like last season and we'll wrap up the important news that happened while I was gone.

Earlier today I was looking around the football news websites to find a suitable topic on which to write on. I came across the Serie A news and one thing struck me when I glimpsed at the table for the 2009/10 season; Torino weren't there. I'll be honest and admit that I didn't catch much [...] Click to continue reading...

The news that Sven Goran Eriksson is to take up the inexplicit ‘Director of Football' role at League Two side Notts County is possibly the shock of the summer transfer window.

By mid-May, we'd played Milan three times in four weeks twice in the Coppa Italia semis and once in Serie A and were set to play them twice more in an epic Champions League semifinal. The first leg was slated for Naming Rights Park, and then we'd be heading to the San Siro with a place in the final on the line.

First a shout out to our readers in Canada. Happy Canada Day!

In a world where loyalty is hard to come by, it's still nice to know that in some part of the world it still exists. Case in point, Manchester United and Nemanja Vidic. But before I go into that let us take a brief trip down memory lane to see how those who were tempted by cash and left for so called "greener" pastures.

Finisce l'avventura (durata solo una stagione) in bianconero del difensore svedese Olof Mellberg.

This is the 2009-10 SS Lazio football home shirt. The Rome based Serie A team are the current Coppa Italia holders. The new Lazio 2009-10 kit is made by Puma. It is a light blue round necked shirt. There is V-shaped design at the top ( no idea what it does to enhance the strip though). [...] Related posts:

"Cresce nella Pro Sesto, ma si afferma con la maglia del Bari che veste per cinque stagioni, prima di passare nel 1991 alla Juventus. Nella squadra bianconera guidata da Giovanni Trapattoni viene schierato come terzino destro, ruolo che ricopriva anche a Bari, disputando un'ottima prima stagione in bianconero, che culmina con la convocazione nella Nazionale di Arrigo Sacchi, e dimostrando una grande versatilità .

Arsenal are reportedly battling Juventus to sign £17million-rated Macedonia striker Goran Pandev.

The 25-year-old has told Lazio he needs a new challenge after five years in Rome and the Gunners are said to have joined the race for his signature.

Last month he was linked to Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Liverpool, while Bayern Munich and Fiorentina are now also reported to be interested.

E' stato presentato, in una conferenza stampa organizzata in Cina, l'appuntamento della prossima Supercoppa Italiana, che vedrà di fronte la Lazio, vincitrice della Coppa Italia, e l'Inter, dominatrice del campionato.
Il match, che si annuncia spettacolare ed avvicente, andrà in scena l'8 agosto prossimo, a Pechino, nella capitale cinese, alle 14 italiane (20 locali): "Di fronte ad una numerosa platea - si legge in una nota sul sito della Lega - rappresentanti della Lega calcio, dell'Inter, della Lazio, della Federazione cinese, dell'ambasciata italiana e il presidente dell'Uvs (l'ente organizzatore dell'incontro), hanno annunciato che la gara si disputerà l'8 agosto alle 20 locali allo stadio Bird's Nest di Pechino".

Amid mounting speculation of an off-season relocation to Juventus, Carlo Pallavicino, the agent representing Lazio striker Goran Pandev, has confirmed that "Bayern Munich are the only team that actually have a concrete interest in my client."
Despite collecting silverware in the form of this season's Coppa Italia, Pandev's impending future in the Italian capital appears to be severely doubtful and the desirability of competing in the Champions League is an attraction which is enticing the 25 year-old Macedonian, who has scored 15 goals in 44 caps for his country.

Se Pandev ha comunicato, già da parecchio tempo, la volontà di cambiare aria, e di trovare nuovi stimoli da un'altra parte, ma è ancora in stand by, a scuotere ancora di più Formello e dintorni è l'addio annunciato da Delio Rossi: "Il prossimo anno non sarò più l'allenatore della Lazio".
