Use to love watching Serie A on C4 years ago...will be keeping an eye on it...anyone else watching this today?

Might try and catch it.  Used to like Gazetta myself a few years back. 

That fella was moderately funny. Whathisname?

Some of his 'quotes' are quite amusing.

"What do Clarence Seedorf and Pete Doherty have in common? They both get caught in possession an awful lot."

"Roma and Lazio, like Penelope Pitstop, are tied on points."

"Chelsea paid a levy for the Shevy but the Shevy went dry" (On the subject of Andriy Shevchenko's lack of goals after being signed by Chelsea)

"The biggest title challenge since Danny Shittu tried to write his autobiography."

 

That last quote is quality!

Ah Italian football. The old Gazetta on Ch4 was ace. Although it does remind me of being terribly hungover.

Thing is about it being on Ch5 is that they have a very horrible obnoxious manc fan presenting it - Mark Chapman! Can't stand the man. Smug as anything. (and no, not the fella who killed John Lennon)
They should have got Colin Murry to present it. Proper hardcore red!

Yep annoyin manc presenting with some nice bit of totty too!

Watched a little bit of the game, in between watching the geordies.

Not too impressed with the Italian league, La liga far better to watch, but what is it with inter - champions and the ground was empty!!

Massimo moratti, inter owner didn't look too impressed either!!
