I know we already have a Beckham Watch thread but I thought i would put it in here

Milan eye Beckham return

Italian giants confident about return of England star. AC Milan believe they are in pole position to secure David Beckham's loan return to the San Siro in January.

The veteran England midfielder joined the Italian giants in a similar move last term as he sought playing time to stay in England boss Fabio Capello's thoughts.
While the Los Angeles Galaxy player has the option of returning, there are also thought to be "three or four other offers".
But the Italian club remain confident that the 34-year-old will decide to return to the San Siro.

The special one is at it again

Mourinho handed one-game ban

Jose Mourinho has been hit with a one-game touchline ban after being sent to the stands on Sunday.
The Inter Milan boss was ordered from the dugout during his side's 2-1 victory over Cagliari.
The Portuguese coach was punished after arguing with match officials at Stadio Sant'Elia.
He will now miss Inter's midweek contest with Napoli as a consequence of his actions.

The Italian FA has also revealed that Mourinho will be ordered to pay a €15,000 (£13,600) fine.

Genoa 2 - 2 Juventus

Wednesday 23rd September
Atalanta 0 - 0 Catania

A late header from David Trezeguet earned Juventus a battling 2-2 draw at Genoa in Serie A on Thursday.
It was the first time Juventus had dropped points in five matches this season but they still moved level with champions Inter Milan at the top of the table on 13 points.
Striker Vincenzo Iaquinta had put visitors Juventus in front after six minutes with a well-worked goal before Giandomenico Mesto equalised just after the half hour.
Genoa substitute Hernan Crespo then nodded in at the near post to put the hosts ahead in the 74th minuted, after Iaquinta had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside,
But Trezeguet then grabbed a deserved draw when the Genoa defence fell apart in the 86th minute to allow the veteran striker to score.

Lazio agree Barreto deal

Uruguayan youngster set for Italian switch

Serie A giants Lazio have reached an agreement for Danubio's highly-rated striker Gonzalo Barreto. The Uruguayan teenager has agreed a five-year deal with the Rome-based outfit. He will, however, be forced to wait until he turns 18 in January before being allowed to figure for his new employers.
Barreto is set to travel to Italy in November to begin training with Lazio, after he has completed his duties at the U17 World Cup. "I am very happy to have the opportunity to join of the biggest teams in the world," he said."My contract has been signed but it will be January before I can join the team. I can't wait for that time to arrive."

Was watching an Italian game late one night on Foxtel at a friend's place a week or 2 ago. Saw a player with a really strange looking face mask (not sure if it would be classed as a helmet?), never seen anything like it before.

[Il Duce]

Just out of intrest you dont know what game it was do you??

[GWW]

Umm, was on Foxtel 2 Saturday nights ago. I can't remember who was playing, just googled the clubs in the Italian league, and none of them looked familiar, so maybe it wasn't actually the Italian league afterall

I ask my mates on an Italian fourm I'm on and see if they know

Sampdoria have returned to the top of the Serie A table after shocking Inter Milan while Fiorentina overcame Livorno.

Champions Inter Milan suffered their first defeat of the new season after slipping to a 1-0 loss at Sampdoria.
Chances were few and far between with Giampaolo Pazzini's 72nd minute effort deciding a tight, yet entertaining encounter.
Esteban Cambiasso had the first chance of the game while Reto Ziegler tested Julio Cesar from distance before half-time.
Inter looked bright after the interval and Diego Milito came close to breaking the deadlock after Luca Castellazzi saved Mario Balotelli's deflected effort.
The Nerazzurri laid siege to the Samp goal in search of an equaliser in the final 10 minutes, but the closest they came was Lucio's disallowed goal for offside.

Fiorentina have moved level on points with champions Inter after securing a 1-0 win at lowly Livorno.
The game was decided in the 76th minute when Fiorentina were awarded a penalty for Marcus Diniz's foul on Alberto Gilardino.
Stevan Jovetic successfully converted from the penalty spot, although the visitors had to play out the final moments a man light after Dario Dainelli picked up his second yellow card.

Juventus thought they had done enough to secure a fifth victory in six outings, but conceded late on against Bologna and had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
David Trezeguet broke the deadlock at Stadio Olimpico after 24 minutes and Adailton levelled matters in the dying seconds.

Lazio have now gone four games without a win after they could only muster a 1-1 draw against Palermo.
Edinson Cavani had the visitors in front after 75 minutes, but Mauro Zarate restored parity five minutes from time.

Roma were also involved in a 1-1 stalemate on Sunday, away at Catania.
Takayuki Morimoto opened the scoring after 21 minutes, only to see Daniele de Rossi rescue the capital outfit deep into stoppage time.
There was, however, still time for Gennaro Delvecchio to see red for deliberate handball.

Napoli secured a welcome win over Siena, prevailing 2-1.
Marek Hamsik (48 & 63) bagged a brace either side of a Massimo Maccarone (55) equaliser.

Cagliari ensured they claimed back-to-back victories as they enjoyed a 2-0 success on the road at Parma.
Jeda took just seven minutes to break the deadlock and Daniele Pessena wrapped things up after 58 minutes.

Udinese caused more misery for Genoa as they left it late before securing a 2-0 win.
Antonio Di Natale fired the hosts in front after 81 minutes and Pepe added a second two minutes from the end.

Elsewhere, Chievo were held 1-1 at home by Atalanta.
Sergio Pellissier (77) ensured the points would be shared when he cancelled out Simeon Tiribocchi's 72nd minute opener.

Finally, the evening match saw AC Milan's stuttering start to the new season continue as they played out a goalless draw with Bari at San Siro.

Did anyone see the Juventus v Napoli game or highlights from 31/10/09?

Cracker of a game with Napoli coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Juve's 2nd goal was a debacle with the Napoli centre back heading straight down to the striker from an opportunistic long ball into the area. It was the assist of the season. This effort was followed by a similarly embarassing piece of defending by Juve, gifting Napoli a goal and a road back.

And I thought Serie A was boring.......not so!

[Il Duce]

Yeah the Juve V Napoli game was a cracker to bad for me the game after wasnt Milan beat Lazio 2-1, this is a season to forget for Lazio at the moment in all reality we could be playing serie B next year if we keep this up
