Napoli

[Davy]

Mostly the usual suspects win the big leagues albeit Bayern only got there on goal difference this year from Dortmund. But nice to see Napoli bucking the trend in Italy.

And the town no doubt is erupting in celebrations as we talk.

And Diego dancing IN his grave.

I know they hate us but then every team in Italy hates us but as a Juve fan I'd rather see them win the scudetto than any other team in serie A.

The Italian Rangers.

I'll give you that in that everybody in Italy hates us we've got that in common with that lot. However our fans aren't anything like them in fact I don't think there is any club like the rangers and thank fuck!

I meant the institutional cheating.

Sadly we're not alone with that in italian football but I take your point if that's the simiarity but in no way are our fans like theirs.
I hate cheating and match fixing. My old man was from near Naples but had no interst in football.When I was growing up in Edinburgh there wasn't the media coverage of foreign football the only time you heard anything is when italian teams were in Europe.
Napoli weren't a successful italian team I couldn't even tell you what colour their strip was back then.
It was always Milan,Inter and Juve that were in the news or on TV. I actually chose Juve because I liked the strip probably because we had a black and white tv at the time.
If I'd been aware of Napoli I would have supported them because of were our family came from. I'm really pleased for team and for the people of that city but with all that's happened you don't change who you support if I could turn back the clock I would become a Napoli supporter but I'm a Juventino warts an all.
