  1. @DaviddeCorran Well I did go London to Tampa to see the Cards lose a Super Bowl ... But I'm not sure I'd get the same sympathy!
  2. What it means to be a fan: @ThomasDobby went Toronto to Wembley + back in 64hrs, just to see his team lose on penalties blogs.thescore.com/footyblog/2012…
  3. Discussed Italy's match-fixing scandal and Euro 2012 preparations with @Sid_Seixeiro on Canada's @FAN590 yesterday: fan590.com/media.jsp?cont…
  4. @Adz77 Indeed - though Marchisio didn't make it onto my bench either, which he probably should. Some others there who IMO needed recognition
  5. @Adz77 PS - yes, Marchisio should at least be on bench for team of the season. But I wanted to at least give other teams a look-in!
  6. @Adz77 @sidlowe *Ages* ago ... guardian.co.uk/football/blog/…
  7. Also brilliant, as ever, end of season La Liga awards from @sidlowe (NB at 4,000wds you may want to get a cuppa first) guardian.co.uk/football/blog/…
  8. Missed it yesterday, but this thoughtful response to Italy's match-fixing latest from @footymac is worth reading: guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/…
  9. @ianmccourt Sent you a DM
  10. Thoughts with everyone in Bologna/Emilia Romagna. Horrible news.
  11. I'm being dozy - Chiellini already wore No3 for Italy, as @jonrest and @marcoarrinaldi point out. Still think he may wind up at LB for Euros
  12. If that is the plan I have no big problem with it - Chiellini played v well at left-back for Juve this season, Prandelli has options at cb
  13. @acjimbo Tanti Auguri, James.
  14. @_4dri4n_ Not true - also Balzaretti.
  15. Chiellini given the No3 shirt for Italy. Suggestion that he could be playing left-back in Criscito's absence?
  16. A preview of Italy's friendly with Luxembourg, taking in yesterday's match-fixing developments, for @unibet - unibet.me/KZ1XHa
  17. @Krissywhb I would have taken Schelotto over Giaccherini, but not that much in it
