  1. 1910 piece is fantastic. Italy was, and continues to be, corrupt. Inter should have that title stripped and Pro Vercelli should have it reinstated.

    Makes me root for the rise of the old time powers in Italy. Though Vercelli aren’t in the big time (or even close), it’s nice to see Genoa back in the top flight, and fighting for a European slot.

  3. Matt Reis looks more like ‘Dave’ from Lost, Hurley’s imaginary friend. Still, enjoyable and something I’d made a connection to in my head before now.

    I’ve also played Pro Vercelli many times in FM – I love the whole challenge of reinstating a fallen giant. They’ll never be big again, only in FM and only under the right guidance….

  5. I was gonna ask for a new picture of Ferdinand, that’s not what I wanted to see waking up…

    Having a cousin who went to grad school in Exeter, that was cool, and the Teams as Bands was thoroughly enjoyable.
