“My nickname is ‘Popeye’ which I think represents my strength as a player. It can’t be anything else because I don’t smoke a pipe!”

Attilio Lombardo arrived at Palace as a 31-yr-old (honest) desperate to impress, and determined to settle into life in “Europe’s number one city”.

Felt there was something lost in translation in The Bus: A French Football Mutiny. Supposedly exclusive access to Domenech's diaries but then just a few sparse words from them. The film could have been all about him. Quite a character. Not enough depth overall, skims the surface.

[Stephen Kasiewicz @SKasiewicz]

Brunson outstanding in the 4th quarter for the Knicks. Not particularly excited by either team but one the Spurs threw away. One thing that's a little annoying is the constant focus on the celebrity fans. Why do we need to see them every few minutes?!

🗣️ Roberto Mancini ha parlato a ‘la Giornata del Calcio Anconitano’: "Senza il lavoro di Andrea, Attilio e Giovanni, la Sampdoria sarebbe retrocessa. Hanno fatto un grande lavoro. Ma il calcio è anche questo, ci sono storie che finiscono e storie che iniziano".

[The Extreme Football Enthusiast @ExtremeFootbal4]

🗣️ Ruud Gullit on facing Diego Maradona:

“I remember the first time I faced him. Donadoni and Ancelotti tried to take the ball off him… they couldn’t. He was incredibly strong, technically amazing, and a real leader — always pushing his teammates.
They tried to kick him out the game. Only Goikoetxea managed it once. Imagine if he had today’s protection… he would’ve been unstoppable.
I faced him — and I can say he was the best in history.”

[Guido Olivares🇮🇹 @Guidolino8]

Nicola Luongo a @TNRadioTv: “Non abbiamo voluto svelare la cosa durante la stagione perché saremmo stati accusati di destabilizzare l’ambiente. Ma nel momento in cui la cosa è emersa a stagione finita allora è giusto fare chiarezza. Dopo Torino-Napoli c’è stato uno scontro tra Conte, De Bruyne e parte del gruppo storico. In quell’occasione Conte ha fatto delle richieste che non vengono ben gradite dal gruppo. Sette giorni dopo De Bruyne si infortunia e quindi per quattro mesi il problema va in cantina.

Prima di Napoli-Bologna c’è un altro confronto accesissimo. A quel punto Conte decide di mettere De Bruyne fuori rosa. Il belga col Bologna sarà ufficialmente fuori per “trauma cranico”con tanto di 4 punti di sutura. Eppure però 6 giorni dopo scende in campo a Pisa con un viso liscio…
Abbiamo parlato ora per non destabilizzare, ma non raccontateci fesserie”

@AverageJoe_17 He definitely divides people. I'm not a fan. His inability to control himself, constant moaning and complaining, and generally poor attitude affects his performance. A constant theme in his Roma career. Always thought he was effective but limited.
