Do you watch Serie A?

[Sweey]

Does anyone on here watch Serie A with any sort of regularity? I know almost everyone who comes to this section watches the EPL with a good deal of regularity but I don't - I watch Serie A to that degree and some games from Serbia, Russia, Germany etc.

I'm not at all interested in stereotypical "I don't watch that boring defensive league" as it only serves to display your own narrow-mindedness and lack of knowledge.

Couldn't see a poll option

I used to watch it when it was on Channel 5 and I thought some pretty good football was being played. I wanted to watch more of it but I just couldn't stand John Barnes so I stopped watching it.

Yes he was woeful. To be fair, the presenters were no better.

I'm not expecting many people on here still watch it or care for it much given the fact it isn't at its best presently. I'm just wondering if there's going to be any point me making posts about it if nobody is going to care

Even if you wanted to wanted to watch Serie A, do any of the freeview channels air Serie A game or highlights? I know Channel 4 used to have a program which showed highlights from leagues around the world, do they still do that?

ESPN show TV coverage.

Bet365, BetFair, Sky Bet, Ladbrokes' streaming service and at least one other show 3-5 matches per round and the stream quality isn't at all bad. You need to register with all but don't have to put money in your account or put a bet on to use the service with Bet365; think its the same with BetFair.

Yip I watch it on ESPN.

But I did have to switch off at half time in tonights game as it was terrible.

Although I wouldn't have dreamed of turning it off, I can totally understand that. The main interest for me was Cesena as I've not been able to watch Serie B the last three years although I believe I'll be able to do so this season. The likes of Ezequiel Matias Schelotto are of great interest to me.

Yep - big Milan fan here. Do you support any team in particular Sweey?

Milan here too

Interesting..

Zlatan, Robinho and Ronaldinho all in the same lineup.

Milano's night clubs will be sponsoring Milan soon enough.
They should do quite well though with Pato up top aswell and looking like he's back to full fitness after his injury ridden few years with Milan.

They still need a defense though, Without Nesta they're crap.

Thiago Silva is an excellent defender. He's not Nesta but he's more than capable. The full-back areas are a concern though - Antonini aside we're weak.
