Never mind the quality...

Just one match traded tonight, Novara v Chievo in Serie A. What a pile of crap. I can't believe this is the standard of football from Italy's top flight. Take any match in the Premier league, even between teams you may feel are inferior, and there is absolutely no comparison in the quality.

Poor ball control, slip-shod defences, wayward shooting - you name it. The first half was dull as dishwater even if the second-half warmed up a little - especially with two goals in about a minute. This however just papers over the cracks of what was a poor quality game. And it shows the inferiority of Serie A. Remove the top half-a-dozen teams, Juventus, Milan and the like,  and you could just as well be looking at the Scottish third division.

Sound miserable, don't I? Hah, I should change my tone as it's not particularly how I'm feeling. The trading went okay. I felt a bit annoyed at one point because I just traded out of a back of Chievo when they scored their second goal - but I needn't have felt too aggrieved because, as just mentioned, the home side equalised immediately after. The first half was good for trading the Unders as very little happened.
