Do not count your chickens before they hatch. I doubt that this will last, so savour the moment while it lasts.

 

[Darkness]

Looks good.

enjoy it while it lasts (no prediction or anything, but success is fleeting in football (especially if you don't have a huge budget))....

 

[Inter4]

AC Milan will lose against Livorno. I'm happy for you Rhye

 

[Broccoli Man]

It wont last you might get a good season this year but you wont do it consistently.

 

[Shevchenko]

AC Milan will lose against Livorno. I'm happy for you Rhye

Funny Joke!!

well.. 31 points at this stage is usually enough to escape relegation at least, right?

Impressive? Yes!
Unbelievable? NO

When The 'fine fleur' of Holland spent their years in the Serie A, I followed results.
Yet, for me, Livorno, Chievo, Siena, Empoli, Reggina, Ascoli, Messina & Treviso are all unknown..............

Time will tell amico mio. One thing is for sure, Milan won't beat Livorno.. they didn't last season @ Livorno, they certainly won't THIS season.


Of course I'm sure I'll be wrong and AC will win 4-0

well.. 31 points at this stage is usually enough to escape relegation at least, right?

With 40 you're 99% sure you're safe.

In Italy, teams can be really close.

A few years ago, with 2 more rounds to play, there were 6 teams that were both in the race for UEFA tickets, as well as fearing relegation.

 

[Rhye]

last year the amount of points for safety was 42 or 43

what's unbelievable for me is that I grew up with my greatest dream that was my team being promoted to serie C1 (and later, to Serie B). Our foes were Tuscanian towns, and later, close Tuscanian cities teams like Pisa, Lucchese, Viareggio, Spezia, Prato etc.
Now they're all still there in C, who knows how long are they going to stay over there...

btw what's the fine fleur of Holland?

 

[Darkness]

btw what's the fine fleur of Holland?

I think he means Gullit, Rijkaard and Van Basten...

 

[Stapel]

I think he means Gullit, Rijkaard and Van Basten...

Well, much broader than that. Also the subtop went to Italy in the early 90s. Today, I am not aware of any Dutchmen in the serie A.

 

[Darkness]

Today, I am not aware of any Dutchmen in the serie A.

Jaap Stam?
Clarence Seedorf?

 

[Stapel]

Jaap Stam?
Clarence Seedorf?

Well, I was thinking of Orange players. Sorry for screwing that up.

 

[MCdread]

Well, I was thinking of Orange players. Sorry for screwing that up.

Stam doesn't play for the Netherlands anymore? He resigned?

 

[willemvanoranje]

Yeah, after Euro 2004 already! Howcome no one outside Holland is aware of this hahaha

 

[Hitro]

I knew it! :toobadhollandmadeittotheworldcup

As for Livorno, ever since Rhye started posting about them they are my favourite club in Italy.

 

[Hitro]

And how many games have been played? Juve has 43 points, which certainly seems to be quite alot...

We will so be destroyed in the CL.
