They're just the same as Man City in the Premiership, they think they're a great club just 'cause they've had some great players.  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

They ARE a great club. Them and Genoa should be in Serie A!

Plus Napoli got Rubinacci, Attolini, Kiton... They can match Milano!! You can't get more than that... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No doubt.

No doubt.

I don't deny that they should be in Serie A, because I also believe that. They believe they should be in the top positions in Serie A. Which I do doubt.

Fans of every team which has been there feel that way... we can't blame them! Napoli repeatedly beat Il Milan di Van Basten... possibly the greatest football team ever, they got one more reason!

I don't claim Villa to be a 'great team' yet we're the 4th most succesful team in Englands history (Behind Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal)

I don't know that much about Napoli's history, but as far as I know, they haven't shown enough dominance in Europe or even domestically to be known as great. The same goes for Villa, we were dominate in footballs early days, but that was a hundred years ago, we can't be considered 'great' for that.

Catania lose stadium row

Catania will play the rest of their home matches behind closed doors after the Lazio TAR overturned a previous civil court decision.

The Sicilian side had seen their Stadio Massimino banned until June 30 and were sentenced to play the rest of their home matches behind closed doors at a neutral venue.

The decision came as a consequence of the riots that led to the death of chief inspector Filippo Raciti following the derby against Palermo in February.

A Catania civil court appeal earlier this month had allowed fans entry into their neutral home games for the rest of the season, causing the Federation’s angry reaction.

Under the new laws the civil courts should not have jurisdiction over sporting matters, unless it is the Lazio TAR in Rome.

The latter was called to discuss the FIGC’s appeal on and has decided to revoke the Sicilian TAR’s verdict, confirming the ban handed out by the Federation’s disciplinary commission.

“The Stadio Massimino ban was adequate for the seriousness of the incidents occurred in Catania that evening,” announced an FIGC lawyer.

“It is bewildering that a TAR, which has no authority, ignored that fact, preferring to listen to a group of season-ticket holders whom the verdict was meant to protect,” he said.

Calciopoli II to hit Juve?

Juventus could reportedly face more penalties for their part in Calciopoli after public prosecutors in Naples wrapped up their investigation.

The Italian giants were stripped of their last two League titles and thrown into Serie B with a nine-point penalty, but Bianconeri fans are fearing another summer on trial.

Naples prosecutors have finally closed their match-fixing probe after almost a year and have named 48 people who they suspect of wrongdoing, a standard step before possible criminal charges are issued.

It is now expected that their findings will be passed on to Saverio Borrelli, the head of the Italian Football Federation’s investigative team, who may opt to open a new sporting trial as a result.

It’s understood that a total of 39 games from the 2004-05 campaign are among a list of incriminated ties, 15 of which were not previously made known by the Naples set-up.

Among the fresh games under suspicion is a Juventus-Milan tie which ended 0-0 at the Stadio Delle Alpi from the season in question.

Calciopoli erupted last May when a number of intercepted telephone calls between leading figures of the Italian game and referees raised doubts over the legitimacy of the '04-05 championship.

Former Juventus general director Luciano Moggi was placed at the centre of the scandal after being accused of setting up a network in an attempt to influence the outcome of matches.

“The contacts took place via phone calls, thanks to secret sim cards that were provided by Moggi to designators Paolo Bergamo and Pier Luigi Pairetto, to Messina’s sporting director Mariano Fabiani, to referees Gianluca Paparesta, Salvatore Racalbuto, Stefano Cassarà, Antonio Dattilo, Paolo Bertini, Marco Gabriele, Tiziano Pieri, Massimo De Santis and Marcello Ambrosino,” read a note released by the Naples prosecutors.

As a result of their findings, the match officials and Messina – who have protested their innocence – could also be facing a sporting tribunal.

Messina chief Pietro Franza said: "We have always operated in absolute legal transparency. [Former sporting director] Mariano Fabiani will be cleared in a short time."

With regards to Juventus, it has been claimed that they may be asked to face more FIGC charges depending on what Borrelli finds in the reports.

But the Turin giants are remaining calm about the situation. “Until we have something concrete in our possession then it is not right to say anything,” said club lawyer Luigi Chiappero.

However, President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli (pictured) quickly shot down claims that his outfit may face further penalisation for either this season or next.

“We have to make it clear that Calciopoli didn’t start with Juventus,” he argued. “We’ve already paid the price for it, perhaps too much.

“After all, the decision to take away the 2006 Scudetto from us and hand it to Inter is still incomprehensible today.”

Lazio, Milan, Reggina, Fiorentina and Arezzo were the other clubs punished by the FIGC for their part in Calciopoli, as well as numerous club, FIGC and refereeing officials.

Only one referee, Massimo De Santis, was found guilty of misconduct in the sporting courts.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has influence in UEFA and appoint Merk as the ref, which will ultimatelly get us kicked out (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) If ever I see Moratti, I just wanna throw a punch at him, maybe fix his f@cked up teeth and bring him down to reality.
