My thoughts....

Hello all... it's been a very long time since I posted here....

You can find my picks mostly under the Championship in Div 1.

But for tonite's Italian games, I wanted to post a few of my other thoughts which are not found in my DiV 1 post.

Fiorentina +1+1½ - Roma seem to have lost their high n mighty ways this season and with a crucial Champions League match coming up, I cannot forsee them winning (a first this season) by more than a goal should they be able to pull off a win against a Fiorentina side which may have found their footing again.

Bologna 0 or 0-½ - Bologna have a pretty decent record against Venezia who are languishing at the bottom of the table and should you be lucky enough to find the 0+½ to take on Bologna, go for it. Either way, Bologna should be able to pull off a win in Venezia. Signori n Cruz seem to be on-form lately.

Verona +½ - Atalanta seem to have lost their way this season after their superb performance last season and are second last at the moment. A team playing this badly should not be giving out goals to anybody. Verona is undefeated in 3 games and I expect it to be 4 after tonite's match.

Lazio +½ - Lazio are the draw specialists this season. Their defense as usual is next to none, but what happened to Crespo and Lopez? When will the goals start going in for them? Milan have started out strongly but I cannot see them earn more than a point against a miserly Lazio defense.
