Hello world!
Atalanta, eh? In the Champions League knock-out rounds, of all places. Who’d have thought it? It’s a throwback to the days when the likes of Videoton, Mechelen and Carl Zeiss Jena could get into European finals, days when fans of almost any club, almost any where, could dream of their team one day being Pretty Good Actually. Not like now, when everything’s been ruined by [insert gripe of choice here].
And this might not be the last of it. Atalanta are not only in the Champions League places again this year, they’re the top-scoring side in Serie A by a standard country mile, and in Josip Ilicic and Luis Muriel they have the division’s fourth and sixth highest scorers. In the last couple of months there have been two 5-0 wins and a 7-0 away victory at Torino, and a total between them and their opponents of 35 goals in nine games at nearly four goals per match. Between them and Valencia there has been a total of one goalless draw all season.
In short, a jolly good time is guaranteed for all. Well, not exactly guaranteed, but likely. Probable, let’s go with probable. People are already having a good time. Look, here’s proof:
So, to summarise, welcome! We’re amount to have a tremendous amount of fun. Now, here’s some pre-match reading:
