They really love this new "plucky underdog" and "everyone's second favorite side" myth they have created over the last few decades. Will be interesting to see what happens when the wall of reality meets the 39 Italian supporters of fantasy this season. @#%&!s.

didn't they finish about 30 points behind us the season before last? apart from the fact that this is less than how much we finished them last year (AND they made up that gap on the champions rather than a team that finished second) , they finished 25 points ahead, so it's a 55 point swing!
so they can make up 55 points from a position of also rans in seventh. ....but the champions of the majority of seasons in the last twenty years can't make up 25?
