Thread: Fav Italian team ?

Napoli is by far my "Italian" club but I do admit that I have a soft spot for 2 other clubs. I enjoy watching AS Roma as I have often enjoyed how they try playing attacking football and I do like their atmosphere. I am also curious to see how the American owner might do there. Sampdoria are the other club. There is just something I dig about them and I hope they are back in Serie A soon. I enjoy their stadium as well as it is a very nice looking stadium.

While my order is flip flopped from yours, I do enjoy both clubs.

Juve bother me as a club, I was so gutted when Pirlo went there. Milan like Juve have a few players that are some of my favorites ever, more Milan then Juve.

Where did Milan supporters come off like that? Was this during their visit to London, was this what Spurs supporters noticed while in Milan or a combination of both?

I have a soft spot for Roma too (weird, I know) because of Totti......and also...I gotta admit....I always found their kit to be absolutely wicked. Andddd I'll stop there before I'm labeled a football wh*re.

your words are very close to mine when it comes to Napoli and the soft spot for Roma.

My support for Roma fluctuates mainly because of small segments of fans that are right-wing. I know some Millwall fans who say the same thing. They love their club, but they hate their fans. The right-wing element has died down and counter supporters have been formed to kick them out, which is good. Also DiBenedetto has made it clear that's one of his main goals at Roma, stricter fan control. When Roma get the new stadium it will do a world of good because the Stadio Olimpico is so hard to police. It's not really a problem specific to Roma a few clubs in Italy have the same problem Juve, Lazio etc.

I dislike that one aspect about Roma just as I do when I hear the few knuckleheads for Napoli causing grief for those especially from the UK when their clubs come down to Italy.

Can you imagine the awesome atmosphere(not like Roma or Napoli don't have it already) that both clubs would have if they had packed crowds with the crowds just looming over the pitch rather behind a running track?

Milan. Just for this evening though.

Meanwhile, Wenger has just arrived home.
