And how do you measure which team is better? Aren't the results relevant? Don't know about RnB logic but but saying a team with 3 points less than another is better is illogical.
The initial argument was which team is better ON PAPER. Nothing to do with final rankings, team chemistry, football performance, coaches, etc. Raw head to head player to player. If you truly believe that Roma have better players than Milan I really can’t help you.

We have more CL titles so we are a better team

That makes a lot of sense if you don't count the last two season. 24/5 Roma 5th Milan 8th, 25/26 Roma 3rd Milan 5th. Some of the Roma playes are massively under-rated and now under Gasperini have improved a lot.

Meanwhile we have fielded Tomori, Esputinian, De Winter, Athekame, Loftus Cheek, now Musah, Bartesaghi, Ricci, Gimenez, Fullkrug, Fofana, Nkunku, a struggling Leao, in at least one of the last two seasons. The number of scrubs in a supposedly top squad is astounding, and I probably forgot one or two others.

I want Milan to win in the worst way but I try to be objective when evaluating players, both our own and our rivals'. We build them up, make excuses when they play poorly but they simply suck and don't deserve to wear our jersey. I hope that this version with a couple of talented additions will do great and reach all our objectives.

Apparently Nkunku left Milanello yelling “this sum bullshit!”

There is another factor in Series A precisely, point out by Fabregas, stating that after playing in EPL and Laliga, the most important thing in order to win in Serie A you have to pay attention into a very small details, does Amorim enough smart to adapt and figure out this tiny but important aspect of Italian League or he does just his tactics and display his style ???

Narcos, one my favorite TV series of all time, along with The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Ray Donovan, the Wire, and Rome.

Some great Italian series include Gomorrah, Romanzo Criminale, L'amica geniale that on HBO is titled My brilliant friend. Gomorrah is also on HBO while the Romanzo one I think on Hulu. The first two are addictive and binge worthy and I watched them at least twice.

That's a great question, hope he can adapt depending on the opponents because being inflexible is what cost us CL qualification under Allegri.

I know I have a good taste in TV when @pippofan's taste mirrors mine.

This whole respect/disrespect labeling for players is hilarious. What the fuck has Nkunku done to earn the fans’ respect?
All I'm saying is that he's no scrub
He has tons of ability

I have a friend from Naples that was offended by Gomorrah because of its excessive violence and nudity, stuff that doesn't bother me at all. It makes the city that he loves look bad while not emphasizing the good stuff like beauty, arts, music.

The Camorra is the mafia of Naples that has its tentacles even near the town that I was born in, and the various "families" are often at war with one another. As a fiction is great and the violence is not real so it doesn't offend me, a peaceful guy that have never got into a fight in my life.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini

The first season of true detective was 👌 season 2 was terrible, season 3 so-so and season 4 laughable easily the worst of the bunch.

I forgot to mention them but they belong in the list. True detective with matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson was awesome, the last one filmed in Alaska was awful. Band of Brothers the best series about the war in Europe, they made one about the Pacific that was ok but not as good.

Chernobyl was scary in a way because of the fallout, also suspensful with great acting. The ones I mentioned were off the top of my head but all are quality series, imo.

Nkunku woulda been a great project buy if he woulda been like 28m and on 3.5m per year

But he came for pretty serious money for mediocre output. The expectations match the investment

I really don't trust Ruben. He benches Leao and Nkunku because supposedly they don't fit or press or whatever. But then he plays the uber lazy RLC.

I'm thinking of a love story that occurred in August 1984 during a visit to the old country that had a great impact on the rest of my life. Told without vulgarities because it would diminish what it meant to me.

It was probably the biggest hit ever on RAI, and the character of Lulu was genius. Not a big hit on HBO but tremendous success in Europe.
