ya, Id also like Torino back up. We'd maybe finally see the Delle Alpi close to full again
I dont know about you guys, but my ideal Serie A would have Genoa, Bari, Napoli and Torino back in the big time.
And give Siena, Livorno, Chievo and Lecce the boot.
Might as well dig this up. I guess my forecasting skills took a hit, but this was a pretty unpredictable season.
