bovril Posted 15 September 2014 Share Posted 15 September 2014 Love Palermo as a city. Dodgy frittola aside. Did you get down to Ballaro'? Quite a 'gritty' area, birthplace of Ballotelli. I lived next to a barbers run by his 'uncle' that then turned into a restaurant and then a shoe shop and then a barbers again in the space of 2 weeks.

LCFC1996 Posted 15 September 2014 Share Posted 15 September 2014 Iachini's baseball cap-suit combo irked me way more than it should have. I'll probably be going to Roma-Palermo in the Olimpico at the end of the season, potential importance at both ends of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that bloody great rambling market they have there. Great place, the Mrs went to buy some cherries, got royally ripped off and left with all manner of shit she didn't want, but was quite pleased with the whole interaction. The barbers/restaurant/shoe shop/barbers thing does sound exactly the mental impression of Palermo we left with. Never got used to stepping into on rushing traffic, which seemed to be the custom.

RedHux Posted 15 September 2014 Share Posted 15 September 2014 Was a bit like that, but in two distinct and very separate languages. She speaks no Italian and the bloke had sod all English. I speak a little of both but had ****ed off to look at artichokes or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 16 September 2014 Share Posted 16 September 2014 Just noticed Anderlecht are in the Champions league - I saw them away at Lierse on Saturday. They battered them but conceded a late equaliser. Apart from Defour they didn't have much about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 16 September 2014 Share Posted 16 September 2014 How is Steven Defour still only 26? Also, isn't him going to Anderlecht like Gerrard going to United? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gerrard had been to Porto first!He was alright. The Anderlecht subs were good - no idea or they were saving them for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 20 September 2014 Share Posted 20 September 2014 Two great goals from the Bundesliga this weekend: Moritz Stoppelkamp's record-breaking long shot for newly-promoted SC Paderborn from 83 metres (270 ft) out.

The Begovic goal was officially announced as a world record the other day, so I just knew already! True that. I meant record-breaking in Bundesliga terms.Ah. It's probably only second behind Begovic, can't think of many from that far out. Edited 21 September 2014 by Facecloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
