Tottenham endured a poor start to the season, tumbling to 14th place, but most supporters expected him to turn things around. Nor has his reputation for arrogance, hostility—he once gouged an opposing manager in the eye—and spectacular downfalls.

  • Juventus E Inter Già Con Un Piede in Champions League
    Sport - Sport, calcio, Serie A: Juventus e Inter già con un piede in Champions League Roma - 17 ago 2021 (Prima Pagina News) In cinque si contendono i due posti rimasti su Sisal.it. In sette per quattro posti. Dopo circa 20 anni, la Serie A sembra tornata quella delle sette sorelle dei primi anni Duemila con Juventus, Inter, Milan, Roma e Lazio ancora lì con Atalanta e Napoli che hanno preso il posto di Parma e Fiorentina. La lotta per un posto in Champions League si preannuncia durissima e ogni punto lasciato per strada, o conquistato, potrebbe essere determinante a fine stagione.Due tra queste sette formazioni, secondo gli esperti di Sisal Matchpoint, hanno già un posto assicurato, o quasi, tra le prime quattro del torneo che parte sabato prossimo. Juventus e Inter, infatti, non dovrebbero aver problemi a partecipare alla Champions della stagione 2022-2023: i bianconeri, con il ritorno di Max Allegri che li vede favoriti anche per lo scudetto, sono accreditati di una quota rasoterra di 1,05. Si sale leggermente per ciò che riguarda i campioni d’Italia dell’Inter, passati dalle mani di Conte a quelle di Simone Inzaghi, che hanno salutato Luaku e Hakimi ma accolto Dzeko e Dumfries. I nerazzurri, nonostante questi cambiamenti, non dovrebbero incontrare ostacoli verso la Champions essendo dati a 1,25. Sul terzo gradino del podio si piazza l’Atalanta di Gian Piero Gasperini, da tre stagioni protagonista fissa della massima competizione europea. Gasp e i suoi ragazzi vogliono centrare il poker e l’impresa appare decisamente alla loro portata tanto che si giocano a 1,57.

  • You Go Ahead, Cause Its Making Me Laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC
    Year Number Jan - Mar 2 1 2012 You go ahead, cause its making me laugh... by Fausto Sala - Vice President FISSC “Olimpico” stadium in Rome, Sunday 5 February 2012. Around the 20 minute of the first half of Roma-Inter in South stand appeared a banner which read: “All at 15: the nature of things, by nature force”. As everybody knows the match was scheduled to be played on Saturday at 20.45, then anticipated at 15 and at last moved at the same time on Sunday, in contemporary with all other matches in serie A as the tradition was back in the past. Thus the roman fans wanted to underline this fact and their consent for the traditional shcedule of matches, remarking as only the snow emergency had forced the hands of those in command to revert to old habits of italian football fans. We can repeat until boredom that playing at night in the coldest days of the year is madness. Yet since January 18 up to February 5, between league and national cup, 21 matches at night have been programmed and out of these 19 in the north between Bergamo, Milan, Torino or Novara. But you think that who decides does not know such facts? But more the Lega is criticised, and more who guides the Lega continues to be bend to the will of the television networks who now have absolute power to decide the time in which games are playes, having tv rights now constitute the main income for the clubs. Thus the only concern of the Lega in these last seasons, whose president Maurizio Beretta has resigned since March of last year since he now passed to a top managerial post within UniCredit, was to see how to divide between the clubs the income coming from these rights with the consequent effect of half-empty stadiums to the benefit of sitting in cosy armchairs and sofas at home.
