Scenes from the Derby della Madonnina in the recent past

Please pay careful attention. I am not sure what any of this means, however.

Serie A update: Roma lose

Heading into last weekend, Roma were in first place, with a one point lead over Inter. On Saturday, Inter beat Atalanta to move back into first place. On Sunday, Roma played Sampdoria. They got out to a 1-0 lead, but then collapsed and lost 2-1. It was Roma's first Serie A loss in 25 games. After the game, Roma players could be seen crying (and Sampdoria players could be seen running around in their underwear). Roma are now in second place, and Sampdoria have moved into fourth, just ahead of Palermo (who beat third place Milan 3-1).

· Complete Table

Notice that, if Milan had held on and won last Wednesday's game at Napoli, they would now be in fourth place.

As an added bonus, here are a couple of videos. The first one appears to be one of a series in which we get to watch a group of men watching Napoli games on television. In the second, we get to watch an announcer calling the same game. Again, there appears to be an entire series of these videos. The match is Napoli-Juventus from last season, I believe.

2009-2010 Serie A Update #1

After four weeks, two teams have won all their games and are tied for the top spot with 12 points- Sampdoria and Juventus. They are tied on goal difference, but Sampdoria have more total goals, so they are technically the number one club.

At the other end of the table, Atalanta have lost all four matches and have a total of zero points. They have managed to score one goal, however.

As for Milan, they are tied with four other clubs with 7 points. The optimist says that they are tied for fifth place, but the pessimist notices that they are really in eighth place.
