spudski Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 A small area in Italy, population 41,000. Beat Juventus 4-2 last week, beat Inter at the San Siro last night 1-2. Inter previously unbeaten and top of the league. Two great wins for such a small club. Berrardi is some player for them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Berardi is indeed a hell of a player and won the Euros with Italy of course. Despite a bizarre period when he was co-owned by Juventus but never played for them he's a one club man, which is admirable as I'm sure he could have got bigger money elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 They’ve been performing well in Serie A for a few years now. I can only hope they don’t end up like Chievo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that co-ownership thing really mind boggling. They are definitely doing great. I hope they don't end up like the Flying Donkeys. I used to enjoy watching them growing up and "adopted" them as the underdog. Weirdly in the away around 2009 at QPR there were a few Hellas fans who I had a great chat with. Good luck to Sassuolo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to Hellas, A Season with Verona by Tim Parks is one of the best football books I have read. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atyeo's lift Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 It certainly is a great book - I'm lucky to have a signed copy of the hardback 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 See also Girona in La Liga. Although under the same ownership as Man City, they've had an incredible start to the season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
