This goes to prove how much depth there is on this squad. Mr. Acori’s Christmas formation fits perfectly well with this team. We manage to shadow the weekly shortcomings of Tommy Danilevicius (Seriously this guy is retarded, with the bucket load of chances, a lot of them tap ins, he’s had since the start of the season he should at least have 4 goals. His easy misses are why Livorno have company at the top of the table) I love the fact that Tavano and Diamanti can compensate for each others bad days at the office. ALe Diamanti was fluish today but Acori put him in anyway and Tavano picked up the slack. Imagine when these 2 guys will be on at the same time, it’s gonna be delicious !

Imagine how Rolando Bianchi would be perfect instead of the Loitering Lithuanian on this squad wouldn’t you think ? Well maniaco-depressive Aldo Spinelli is on a high and is seriously thinking about it. With Livorno on top of the table and the excellent relationship between Toro and Livorno might make things interesting in January. At least that’s what Corriere Dello Sport is saying. Looks like we also have our eyes on a certain Christian Bucchi.

Randmoness : Fabio Galante is back, Livorno have conceided the fewest goals in Serie B, only 1 loss on the board, 3rd best attack, on fire at home, Nicola Candreva is versatile and a star, Rizza played well, i finally got to see a freakin’ game, Best defense in the league if you ask the stats, 3rd best offense says the statisticians and Cool fucking shirt on top of it all !

Highlights ! Or if you like them kitsch with just a dash of Indian/Bollywood emo-techno-trance, like me , you can check these out !

LIVORNO-SASSUOLO 3-2

SASSUOLO (4-3-1-2): Bressan 6,5, Rea 6, Andreolli 6, Anselmi 6, Donazzan 6,5; Poli 6 (35’ st Fusani sv), Magnanelli 7 (24’ st Masucci 6,5), Pensalfini 6; Salvetti 5,5; Zampagna 6,5, Noselli 5,5 (41’ st Erpen sv). A disposizione: Pomini, Consolini, Jidayi, Dalla Rocca. All. Mandorlini 6

Hey a win would have tied us with fellow Tuscans Empoli for first place. But our eleventh tie of the season against Triestina still puts us 3rd !. But like Mr. Acori says : In a long tournament like this one consistency goes a long way. We now know Livorno are a hard team to beat but we need to stop dominating games and getting 1 point out of it. It’s time to string a run of ugly wins if we have to.

But no win can be ugly if Ale Diamanti continues pulling shots out of his ass. The kid can seriously kick it ! His left foot is surgical and he’s starting to develop in a more complete and well-rounded player of Serie A caliber. Diamanti Volleyed in a corner from the top of the box to give Livorno the lead on Saturday. You’ll see in the highlights but this kid is seriously starting to shine week in and week out. I feel like I’m writing the same thing week in a week out ; Draw with a nice Diamanti goal, the midfield was solid, Livorno dominated but they can’t seem to find that darned winning goal. Tavano and Danilevicius missed easy goals and Diamanti created many chances for himself and others and the defense was solid.

Pretty much the same story…a part from the fact that De Lucia is looking great in Serie B and Aleandro Rosi is gonna be a star someday. Slow and steady towards Serie A…

Check out the goals !

TRIESTINA 1-1 LIVORNO

TRIESTINA (4-4-2): Agazzi, Milani, Cottafava, Minelli, Rullo, Antonelli, Allegretti, Princivalli, Tabbiani (28′ st Gorgone), Testini, Della Rocca (14′ st Ardemagni). (1 Dei, 86 Cacciatore, 66 Lima, 44 Piangerelli, 10 Figoli). All. Maran.

LIVORNO (4-3-1-2): De Lucia, Rosi, Perticone, Miglionico, Bonetto, Pulzetti (29′ st Candreva), Loviso (41′ st Filippini), Bergvold, Diamanti, Tavano, Danilevicius (31′ st Laurito). (19 Mazzoni, 46 Rizza, 66 Galante, 22 Volpe). All. Acori.

Allright !

So Livorno have now shrugged off that nasty addiction to the nil-nil draw. After 3 straight double goose eggs the Amaranto Liberation Army smashed 3 beautiful goals on saturday while in the process of owning Salernitana. Livorno played around all night and it got even easier when Sal went down to 10 men for 45 minutes. This means i actually have highlights to show. Tavano, Candreva and Ale Diamanti got on the sheet with some nice strikes. Now Livorno stand 3 points away from leaders Empoli in 6th place.

Ok so even though Livorno’s looking good , we’ve drawn 10 times in 16 days, 6 of those were 0-0 draws. Empoli, Torino doesn’t count, is the only team that beat us all year! Now we need to start winning on a consistent basis

so random thoughts and numbers :

1 : The defense is pretty much on point even if Grandoni and Galante aren’T really doing their part

2: Tomas Danilevicius makes Fausto Rossini look like Amauri. Danilevicius can’t find the back of the net if would add volume to his hair. Good thing is that Diamanti and Tavano have been picking up the slack. Hell even Fausto played his part when he was healthy.

3: Coach Acori knows what he’s doing ! The Defense is tight and the progress of youngsters Candreva, Rosi, Volpe and even

4: Alfonso De Lucia does a pretty impressive Marco Amelia impersonation. Altough i had serious doubts about him at the start of the stagione , I have to admit he’s been solid infront of nets thus far

5: Goals Against : 11 Goals For : 22

6: Teams like Chievo and Bologna would kill to have our midfield.

7: Tavano keeps on playing great 1 every 3 games. We can live with that because of Alessandro Diamanti

8 : Speaking of the homeless man’s Antonio Cassano, Beppe Marotta wants to bring him to Pesto town and join Samp !

IL TABELLINO

Marcatori: 21’ Tavano, 68’Candreva, 91′ Diamanti

Livorno (4-3-2-1): De Lucia 6,5; Rosi 7, Perticone 6, Miglionico 6, Bonetto 6,5 (33’ st Grandoni sv); Pulzetti 6, Loviso 5,5 (11’ st Candreva 6,5), Bergvold 7 (41’ st A.Filippini sv); Diamanti 6,5, Tavano 7; Danilevicius 5. A disp: Mazzoni, Rizza, Volpe, Laurito. All. Acori 6,5.

Espulso: Peccarisi (S) al 46’ pt per doppia ammonizione

Livorno beat Vicenza away for the first time since the 1950’s! This exactly the kind of game Livorno needed to win. Aleandro Rosi is out for 15 days, Grandoni was out, Massimo Loviso couldn’t manage to make it and the surprisingly excellent Fausto Rossini had to leave after only 20 minutes. Livorno grinded out 3 deserved points to reach 22 points, 2 away from leaders Sassuolo ! Livorno suffered all day long with Vicenza camping out in their half all game long. The occasional lethal counter attack was deployed but Livorno had to stay focused. Vicenza fans will argue that they deserved the win, not to mention at least a point but Livorno did what every go team needs to do, grind out an ugly 3 points.

Tavano managed to screw up 2 easy chances and Alfonso De Lucia had to save 2 balls on the line but Ale Diamanti broke the deadlock and the Labronici held on for the win. Ale Diamanti’s long-range goal came right after he hit the crossbar from about 20 yards out. Acori’s 4-3-2-1 is still working perfectly and Livorno fans will be happy to see the surprisingly solid depth this team has. Candreva filled in perfectly for Loviso, Francesco Volpe is a great sub, Bonetto’s amazing, Perticone is solid and versatile, Alfonso De Lucia is almost making us forget about Marco Amelia and we don’t even need to wait after Tavano’s occasional brilliance.

Tabellino :

Livorno ( 4-3-2-1) De Lucia, Miglionico, Terranova, Perticone, Bonetto, Candreva ( dal 14′ s.t. Volpe ), Pulzetti, Bergvold, Tavano, Diamanti ( dal 37’s.t. Rizza ), Rossini ( dal 23′ p.t. Danilevicius). A disp Mazzoni, Paulinho, Filippini E., Diniz. All. Acori

Vicenza ( 4-3-2-1) Fortin, Zanchi, Di Cesare, Giani, Martinelli ( dal 38’s.t. Margiotta ), Bernardini, Bottone ( dal 1’s.t Morosini ), Botta, Capone ( dal 9’s.t. Foglio ), Sgrigna, Bjelanovic. A disp : Frison, Calori, Fatic, Serafini.
Ammoniti : Candreva, Pulzetti, Perticone, Danilevicius, Zanchi.
Marcatori : al 33’s.t. Diamanti

The Labronici were planning on fielding the young guns a lot and returning to Serie A in 2010, but this very positive play is giving us hope for a quicker return. Grandoni, Galante, Bergvold, Bonetto, Tavano,Pulzetti and Diamanti could all be an important part of at least one Serie A team right now !

Hell, Livorno’s project of reaching Serie A within 2 years needs to be reconsidered !

Fabio Galante’s so happy about this that he decided to comeback. He was in the stands on Saturday but he should b game fit in less then 2-3 weeks.

Not all has been said about the season, but we pretty much all get the picture. Livorno were condemned to Serie B from the get go. From the ; Ciao Lucarelli and Morrone to the Hello Diego Tristan,Vikash Dhorasoo and Francesco Tavano. Unfortunately, Spinelli’s all around stubbornness and many offield antics (Promising to bring Lucarelli back, Wanting to weigh each player personally, Poutin and wanting to sell the club, his phone conversations with Luciano Moggi and his stupid penny pinching transfer window), Fernando Orsi ‘s awful start and end of the season mixed in with Livorno’s inability at scoring goals and you have yourself a recipe for Serie B. All I have to say is that La Nazionale needs to start loaning each and every potential goalkeeping star to Livorno. Just like Marco Amelia, your promised to see the youngster get peppered with shots week in and week out. (I’m so looking at you Gianluca Curci) Livorno need to end the; – Will Aldo leave – saga as soon as possible. Preferably by pressuring Aldo to sell the Club already!

I’ll give Aldo some credit for managing to get Livorno a decent amount of Media Exposure over the years, but the man has got to go. He’s clearly given up on his Livorno project (especially after reading those Luciano Moggi Phone call transcripts of his) This President managed to bring Livorno from Serie B to the UEFA Cup, but Livorno have now regressed back to their starting point. That’s just one of the reasons Aldo needs to go. I’ll give him the fact that he always manages to snatch up a good bargain or to unearth a Serie A worthy player from some buttfuck Paese: Bergvold, Pulzetti, Knezevic, M. Amelia, Palladino and Alè Diamanti. Unfortunately, It’s that time, changing of the guard time. His decision making capabilities have digressed throughout the years; His coaching choices (Firing,hiring,timing) were 80% awful and the fact that he never managed to organize the Youth Sides with enough flair to see 1 Primavera player make it to the Senior Squad. It’s time for some new blood, all around the organisation.

Tranfer Rumours:

Diego Tristan has moved to Cyprus, I’m told the hills are beautiful

Marco Amelia’s till drawing interest from Palermo, Athletico and the UK

Alè Diamanti, by far this year’s standout player, has been drawing some interest from all over the peninsula. Sampdoria,Genoa,Napoli,Lazio and Inter are all keen on the left footed Homeless man’s Antonio Cassano. I get the feeling Diamanti has no intention of going down to Serie B. The 25 year old player from Prato has declared today that ‘’ Napoli would be the realisation of a dream!’’

Ciao Alè ! T’was nice knowing you

Diamanti’s not the only Livorno player Napoli have their eye on ; Giovanni Pasquale, who almost went to Napoli during the Winter Window, has all but secured his place in Napoli. Reports suggest that Napoli will pay Livorno around 1.6-1.9 M Euro for the ex-Interista + a 1 year Loan of Erminio Rullo. Nico Pulzetti’s the other player flirting with the San Paolo public. Reports are saying the fling is mutual.

Giancarlo Camolese what do you think about this ?

Pulzetti e Pasquale sono giocatori da Napoli!

Alright, So how are things going for you ?

I just signed a contract with Rapid Bucharest !

What !? You’re replacing Walter Zenga as the Italian of service in Romania?

At 800,000 k a season plus another 300k if we make the Champions I’m moving to Romania !

Ciao Giancarlo !

Finally, Francesco Tavano is moving out. The Tavster sucked it hard all year despite his 10 goals. It seems like Fiorentina are ‘’extremely’’ keen on the striker and have seemingly included Arturo Lupoli as a bargaining chip. Livorno are thrilled by the idea but contrary to Fiorentina’s wishes; They’re looking at a Co-ownership deal and La Viola only want to loan out the youngster. Let’s see how this transpires…

Forza Ragazzi !

In all honesty, I’d be lying if said I’m pissed and surprised, Aldo’s rants and signings had Serie B written all over it since day 1. Anyways, why would Serie A deserve a team with no (infra)structure or Primavera that has produced nothing but indirectly moulding Giorgio Chiellini,Cristiano Lucarelli and Marco Amelia. I’m not saying Livorno will be pulling an Ancona and disappear but Livorno need to work on the company before being a real Serie A worthy team. 150,000 population and the highest unemployment rate(Top 10 for sure) in all of Italy but they still manage to get UEFA cup action and memorable moments. But Aldo fucked it all up, while pocketing enough to leave Livorno without an empty wallet. The only thing that pisses me off about Livorno this year, is that Relegation has Aldo Spinelli-behind the scenes-calciopoli-esque-string-pulling written all over it. It clearly feels like it was wanted or planned or whatever. With Orsi coming back to insure everything would go down (pun intended) as planned! That’s what pisses me off the most !

Fuckin’ Aldo saying at the beginning of the season how this was the most talented team he
had ever put together, maybe if this was the end of the 1990’s Aldo because Diego Tristan is what I would call a has been. 1 goal form the Spaniard, 1 measely fuckin’ goal all season. Francesco Tavano ? What the hell was that ? Replacing Lucarelli, a hometown hero/legend with Tavano!? He’s isn’t even a has been god damn it he’s a never was at all. Oh yeah and backing up this untalented duo with Fausto Rossini and Francesco- I didn’t play a single minute all fuckin’ year – Volpe. Thank God Ale Diamanti pulled some talent out of his ass because we would of looked even worse on the pitch all season.

And now Aldo’s saying how he’ll be starting over with the Lucarelli brothers in Serie B, yeah right Aldo and Irishpeople don’t like potatoes. Stop Lying you fat bastard! Basically I’m pissed and my mind is disorganised and I’m sure you all feel the same way

Forza Ragazzi !

What a frustrating game !!!

The only reason I’m not extremely pissed off right now is because we’re still mathematically in the running towards being Serie A next non-relegated team. Chances are looking crappy but it’s still a possibility! Ok, i know that we have about the same chances of not going down as Italian Parents have of seeing their 29 year old son moving out of the house, but like Yogi Bear would say : I don’t hear no fat lady singing just yet!

How Low can you go !

We had the chance to witness what happens when Marco Amelia plays like a mere mortal and not a goalie with superpowers. But above all,Fernando Orsi managed in 1 game to remind me why I hated him since the very beginning of the season; Tristan from the start ? Then Rossini ? What the hell ? Diamonds aren’t only a girl’s best friend Nando !!! How about having some balls their Nando ? Diamanti’s on freakin’ fire and you chose to play Tristan,Tavano and Rossini before the Diamond in the rough !? Ma chè Cazzo !

Orsi has managed to pick up…let me see…2 points all year TWO DAMN IT! GC Camolese managed to win 1 game at least ; Hell ! he even beat AC Milan and managed to draw Roma twice! How can you go from conceding 1 goal in Roma, to let 3 goals in against a bored/experimental Atalanta squad ? ( I mean Atalanta doesn’t even have an Offside Blog! How less credible can a club get?) Aldo Spinelli might as well bring back Camolese for the next 2 games, because he looks like he’s doing everything on purpose to see Livorno go down. Aldo ! A team in Serie B is harder to sell than a Serie A squad you yellow raincoat wearing lunatic !

Lowlights, but 20 Euros GRATIS! :

MARCATORI: Doni (A) al 12′ s.t., Ferreira Pinto (A) al 15′ s.t., Rossini (L) al 20′ s.t., Pavan (L) al 38′ s.t., Padoin (A) al 44′ s.t..

Frustrating! Frustrating! Frustrating!

GC Camolese somehow got the best out of this restrictive (to say the least) roster of players. Unfortunately, Fernando Orsi thinks Tavano and Tristan are the players they once were.

Tavano : It’s so frustrating to see Francesco Tavano suck it hard week in and week out.
I won’t give him more than 23 words.

Bogdani : Where the hell is Bogdani ? I’m checkin’ on Mapquest (ok, google Maps) and I’m only finding

Tristan ; My mourning of Super Depor Diegol Tristan ‘s career ended 2 weeks after his goal against Roma.

Filippini : Both of them, they try so freakin’ hard and they always leave it all on the pitch at the end of each and every game, but they both lack the height, pace and overall talent. These 2 would be gods in Serie B/C but they don’t cut it when it comes to performing in Serie A.

Loviso : Common ! Ex-Italia U-21 my ass !

Rossini : please don’t get me started on this guy! He’s a scrapper I’ll give him that, he gives his all and works hard. But saying he has limited talent is more of an understatement than saying that Dane Cook sucks or Mary-Kate Olsen is talented and thin. This Algonquin looking striker needs to be a 5th option at best !

Grandoni : Good defender, decent player and stupid decision maker.

Pasquale : I’m pissed because this Champions League-experienced-versatile-Inter Homegrown- Back is one of the few players you can have some expectations from. He didn’t deliver all freakin’ season long.

Bergvold, Amelia, Knezevic, Galante, Daniele – Rosso Directo – De Vezze, Pulzetti, Bogdani, Giannichedda and Diamanti are the only players that could be useful to a Serie A team.Thank god we have 2 players going to Euro 2008 because if you round up all of the names on the roster and say them out loud, it sounds a lot like a midtable Serie B team. Come to think of it ….

Forza Ragazzi ! 6 punti porco dio ! 6 punti Cazzo !

A mix of bad luck, Marco Storari awesomeness, Erjon Bogdani awkwardness, Bobby Freshwater dangerousness, Francesco Tavano dumbassness and you get to see Livorno lose 6 points at home to the hands of a very lively Cagliari. Contrary to the Amaranto Liberation Army’s andata game versus the Sardinians, this game was a pleasure for the eye. Both teams were attacking with the fierceness only a heated relegation battle atmosphere can provide.

Marco Amelia was forced to make some great saves and just watching Roberto Acquafresca play, from an azzurri fan’s point of view, was a beautiful thing that gives me much hope for the future.(Now if Canini can continue staying healthy and developing properly Caglirari might have something quite interesting for the upcoming years) I’m pretty sure la Nazionale will soon have its new Cristian Vieri, the glory years version. Nice early goal on a team effort put the Amaranto 1 up after 2 minutes but Unfortunately, Marco Amelia stupidly created the almost-instant fresh equaliser by kicking the ball straight on the foot of a Sardinian. Bam 1-1 !

2nd half was a Sardinian story ; Acquafresca slots in his second sweetly for the winner and Livorno get a goal disallowed for a dogdy offside call. 2-1 ! Livorno back to the basement

Highlight while they last :

LIVORNO-CAGLIARI 1-2 (Primo tempo 1-1)

Ammoniti: Agostini (C), E. Filippini (L), Canini (C), Grandoni (L), Cossu (C), Parola (C).

Let me cliché you with ; this game was the tale of 2 halves. The Burgundy (now-basement) Boys could have easily come out of the 1st half at least a goal up. If it wasn’t for Francesco Tavano’s unbelievable, and I mean How – the – Fuck – did – you – miss – that, incredibile , miss Livorno would have been 2 up before the game clock ticked ten .
To Jeremy’s defense, Cagliari could have easily won this game 5-1, Bobby – I ain’t polish – Freshwater should have scored at least 3 just for Karmic purposes. At least, this was an exciting heart pumping game.

Livorno have finally found the right mix of players to head into to the very final stretch of this season. But this right recipe comes a little too late, bottom of the basement late. The midfield is solid with De Vezze – Bergvold – Pulzetti and The mildly successful experience of partnering Tristan and Tavano is long gone and Ale Diamanti has clearly merited his titolare shirt. The Diamond tested Marco Storari’s gloves on more than one occasion and managed to shrug off his ball hogging problem for the afternoon. With Diamanti changing his : if ball hits foot kick hard towards goal mentality he’.ll be able to play some regular Serie A ball in my opinion he’s like a homeless man’s Cassano (with Lupus and Leprecy of course)

If it wasn’t for Tavano’s excellent Houdini impersonation ( Tavano looks like the resurrection of his old Empoli self only 1 out of every 3 games, this needs to change now ) Livorno are looking down at Cagliari instead of up.

Unorganisation :

Will someone please explain to me the stupidness of inserting Erjon Bogdani for a more than excellent Martin Bergvold ? That fucked up the whole equilibrium of Livorno’s midfield and Attack .

GC Camels : Ora la delusione è da assorbire velocemente. Dobbiamo lottare fino a che la matematica non dirà qualcosa di diverso”.

No shit Sherlock, but is there also a mathematical problem that could be resolved by not putting Erjon Bogdani on the field for your most dangerous Danish midfielder ?

Bogdani sucks as a Midfielder, but not his fault

Good things :

Team morale looks great at least

Bergvold’s back

Diamanti’s is less rough

The Picchi was semi packed

Fausto Rossini didn’t step on the pitch

Only 4 corners allowed

Bad things:

8 corners, no win

Another dubious disallowed goal

Livorno lie in last place god damn it !

Finally a message for Aldo Spinelli ; STOP WEARING THAT STUPID YELLOW RAINCOAT! IT’S NOT LUCKY ANYMORE’ JUST BURN IT!

Forza Ragazzi C’è ancora tempo !

* Seriously, there’s no good reason NOT to insert a foto of Monica randomly but I think there’s a Bellucci that plays for Samp or something

Livorno start the most importnat time of the season ; The don’t get relegated part of the season. Things are getting desperate, Livorno have been looking awful for the past 7 games and mix that in with Antonio Cassano’s comeback and the fact Sampdoria have won 4 of their last 5 games and you have yourself a disaster in the making.

Sampdoria are looking Good, UEFA Cup good so Livorno will have a tought task ahead of them. Tavano managed to blast a couple by Sampdoria in the 1st encounter of the year but i get the feeling a win isn’t the most probable outcome to this game. Livorno have been playing poorly at home, so maybe a trip to Aldo Spinelli’s hometown will boost their morale, add some gas to the tank and some points in the standings.

Now if Fabio Galante could get into Cassano’s head (like he does so well with Francesco – i have more feet than IQ points – Totti ) cause a red card or just manage to take Cassano out of the game (mentally speaking of course i’m not saying he should kick his ass but maybe, just maybe, Talentino would benefit from a good old ass whoopin’. MAybe that’d straighten him out a little)

This is what happened last time :

Martin Bergvold ‘s back and that’s the only great news. Unfortunately, because of Livorno’s recent shortcomings GC Camolese has decided to tinker with the Starting line-up ; wich means Fausto-even my mother knows i suck at soccer- Rossini will be partnering Francesco Tavano upfront. The starting line-up should look a little like this : Amelia; Grandoni, Knezevic, Galante; Balleri, Pulzetti, De Vezze, A. Filippini, Pasquale; Tavano, Rossini.Giuliano Giannichedda, Sergio Volpe and Jose Vidigal aren’t healthy enough to make the bench

Sampdoria :

Vinny Montella, Hugo Campagnaro and goalkeeper Antonio Mirante are out of this encounter

Possible formation (3-5-2):

Castellazzi;
Lucchini, Gastaldello, Accardi;
Maggio, Franceschini, Palombo, Sammarco, Pieri;
Cassano, Delvecchio.

Prediction:
Livorno will fight hard for this one, Aldo Spinelli loves sticking it to Samp’s president, a good friend of his. I’m pretty sure that Livorno can take Sampdoria by surprise and at least take 1 point from this encounter and maybe even bring back all 3.

Forza Ragazzi because ….

GC Camolese tried to mix things up against Udinese. The tiny tactician threw out a 4-4-1-1 on the field with Diamanti and Tristan up top and Pasquale and Edgar Alvarez patrolling the wings and a 4 Central Back defensive quartet.

Fabio Quagliarella scored a screamer after 19 minutes but Livorno really came alive after that. Unfortunately they didn’t manage to bury any of the scoring chances they had and Antonio Di Natale sealed the deal right after the start of the 2nd half and the fat lady sang.

Udinese was the better/most talented team on the field but Livorno need to profit from their chances…

Bad News:

1) The Fillipini twins try hard, but trying won’t cut it if you want to stay in Serie A

2) Martin Bergvold is still injured

3) Giovanni Pasquale is de-evolving as a soccer player

4) Fausto Rossini sucks!

5) No one can provide Tristan or Diamanti with a decent ball

Good News :

1) Marco Amelia’s back!

2) Livorno will be facing Siena, Sampdoria and Cagliari. We have a chance to make something out of this

3) Martin Bergvold’ll be back eventually

4) Diego Tristan is trying at least

5) At least we’re still 1 point above the relegation zone…

Sorry for the short Review and non-preview but I got a bunch of food to eat over the next 2 days so I’ll see you guys on Monday !
