This is a rather stunning development, Tommaso. All the way back to NZ after all of those years in England establishing yourself. I suspect you secured a new postion at a University back home. Your wife is quite an accomplished person in her own right so how is she handling the change and will she continue with her work? But I must say that I am very happy for you as I have all but given up on the idea of every returning to Italy on a permanent basis. Would you believe that I have been in America for nearly 40 years. It goes very fast and I am at the age now where I have more years behind me than ahead.

We have relocated, gio. Still quite a few pieces to get in place, but we are back in NZ now, on the back of one-way tickets that got us here early on Jan 1, having decided that this is going to be a better place for the kids as they grow up (and for us all). It will entail a few sacrifices, but I think those will be out-weighed by the consolations. Having to get up in the middle of the night to watch Roma will be one of the sacrifices and one that is unlikely always to have its compensations.

I would love to come down to NZ, Tommaso. A colleague of mine just returned from a hunting trip to NZ. I am no animal rights wacko but the animals that he killed were among the most beautiful I have ever seen. What does that mean, you are down under for the 'long haul'? Are you on sabbatical or something. No way you relocated back to New Zealand, right?

it looks that way, from the little he has played. held his own when he made his debut at the bernabeu of all places and generally shows a lot of grinta, personalita'. doesn't have the elegance of kaka' but if you wanted to be generous you could say he's like a young schweinsteiger.

is zaniolo the real deal? looks like a poor man's kaka'.

Schick is a bum. I nailed that one from last season. No way was he worth 25 mil. A sucker would get into a bidding war with Roma. If Roma is ever interested in a player, that's a cue to look the other way

Really, 'moldy? It seems to me pretty piss weak. gio, when are you going to come and see us down under? We'll be there from January 1 - for, all going well, the long haul.

Dino lol thats quality

He’s got it, no worries :lol:

. What happened? The two of you had a pulling... I mean falling out?

Dino: do you even comprehend that your verbiage is alien to Europeans. Do you have to come here and be the stereotypical American. Jesus.

A happy farewell to your colleague Maro & a very big thank you for educating all of the future Starbucks baristas. My iced mocha Frappuccino was delightful. Must’ve been all of those Shakespeare literature classes that really separates them from Dunkin Dounts coffee makers.

One of my very much admired colleagues observed yesterday (in, in fact, a little farewell to me) that at the University we now have these positions in "Teaching and Learning" - "as if they were different things." Take that how you will, Davit - it has long been a pleasure learning with you . . . .

most of all though, i wonder what a center-back pairing of van dijk-dante would look like.

georgian commentators in awe discussing how holebas has transliterated his name. could use your two cents.

thanks maro, i appreciate that a lot. it is a privilege to have you as a student.

You know your stuff, davit - let it be said. The quality of a great master can be best measured in the legacy he leaves in his students. Or something like that.

though it seems a weirder decision now than it did in the summer.

modric wins the balon d'or, cool. i told you maro.

what a shot by under. p_maldini_3 **Sun Dec 02, 2018 9:27 pm**

what a shot by under.

And when I say "edge-of" I mean in the most liberal of senses, of course.

Sphincter look pretty rubbish. Evidently we're not much better. Nothing like these edge-of-the-top-four clashes to get the juices flowing.

The ref awarded a clear penalty for us against Inter? Who'd have thought it? I'm amazed.

Another thrilling Serie A season. Juventus have an 8 point lead and it isn’t even December yet. Good thing Juve are a bunch of losers after losing to ManU. This team is absolutely awful.

(as well as barcelona).

not to mention our youngsters are linked with the greatest team in sports history
