    I miss Serie A!!!

    Does anyone know if any tv station are showing Serie A this season (live or highlights). I know Italian football is in dire straits in many ways for many reasons but I just miss "GOL ACCIO" and James Richardson (who's now on Setanta, ughh) on Channel 4. It's always a great league with a great atmosphere, and don't forget who our national team's manager is!
    Some might say La Liga is a better league and they maybe right but they don't have a certain Jose Morinho now do they?
    Cheers.

    No TV Station in England or Ireland so it, I usually watch it on Bet365.com's Streaming

    I miss it too!! I usually use bet365 aswell but it wasn't working properly for me for Samp-Inter tonight.
    I heard that Setanta will have some sort of coverage but they have nothing this weekend.
    Forza Juve!

    Setanta Sports Australia show it, maybe getting a little confused there.

    Seemingly Setanta had provisionally taken on Serie A for the season, James Richardson said as much last week at the end of his show, but they have a problem with the fact that most Serie A games are streamed live on various sites. According to this thread here-

    they're still in negotiations, so Serie A might still be on Setanta.

    Gazetta Football Italia on Channel 4 on Saturday mornings. Best footy magazine show ever. Back when I was 15/16 I was always up to see it.
    Always kept an eye on Milan, but I just wish their team wasn't in a constant state of geriatricity.

    I think Bologna will finish near the top 10, they signed some decent players in the summer, I would be surprised to see them be in the relegation battle, I also think that Napoli will go close to Champions League place.

    Try emailing them (customerservices@setanta.com) to show them how much we want Serie A coverage on TV and that they will get lots of new customers if they show Serie A.

    I have it on good word that Setanta will be showing it but no idea if live or highlights.

    I don;t know if it affects international rights but the domestic rights in Italy are split between aerial, satellite & cable. Seems they show the same games too.

    It looks likely Ancellotti will be sacked now.

    I can not see him been there for too long, the UEFA Cup game in mid-week, might have saved his job.

    It's not his fault. He wasn't the one that insisted on signing Sheva and Ronaldinho.


    In other news, the Mourinho - Lo Monaco spat is getting really entertaining
    Members of the government are getting involved now.

    Absoluetly love Italian football, much more my style than the hustle and kick style you get in the Premiership. Inter will win the title again this year (4 in a row I might add) and I've money on them in the Champions League as well. I think last year they missed a competant coach like Mourinho to give them discipline in Europe.

    I've also got my eye on Serie C1 as Hellas just have to come up this year after the near disaster of last year. If they don't they could go out of buisness

    The first one they were handed. They did not not finish top of the league.
    The second they won while their only real rivals (Juve) were in Serie B.
    The third they won while Juve were rebuilding after relegation.

    Out of the 3, the third comes the closest to being legitimate.
    If they win it this year, I will tip my cap to them but I don't acknowledge any of their last three.
