PLEASE someone bring James Richardson back. He's fantastic, i know he's doing stuff for The Guardian but still, the BBC or Sky could do with him. Or Channel 4 stop being tight and bring back this brilliant show.

It was Paolo Montero... He is still my favorite player... Can't forget his punch right in the face of Di Biagio without any apparent reason... And when someone asked him: "why?" he said: "I'm just a bad guy!" He's been elected as one of the 50 Juventus' stars of all time. "Paolo Montero picchia per noi!" we used to sing at the old Delle Alpi in Turin... Good Old Memories... I didn't knew English people loved so much our (now decayed) Serie A. Well, decayed just like Italy =/
