Hungary some twenty years ago was rated second in the relevant FIFA ranking, and now you probably can not name two of our internationals.

The reason why I added this - seemingly - irrelevant piece of information is just to make everyone sure I have read some stinky little interviews in my life.

Tonight, Juventus players' performance would have been flagrant, even for the standard of a set-up fixture. Have you ever, I mean EVER seen Juve players actually stroll, I mean STROLL on the pitch? Seriously, where the hell do these guys think they are?

Never have I felt more ashamed watching a Juve match than today. I still am all ready to go out and dig an enormous hole in the garden to bury myself alive.

And what is senor Ranieri doing at the same time? Writing a letter of resignation? Hesitating between rope or drugs? Going down on his knees asking for mercy?

Nooo, I am being naive again.

“We are back, determined and rediscovering our form of a month ago,” Ranieri stressed. Well, I would like to stress that we have now failed to win in our past six league matches and are out of both the CL and the Italian Cup, while Inter are champions hands down, no contest.

"I am happy with my players' effort" - he went on.
I am either hallucinating empty shells wearing Juve shirts convivially hanging out on the pitch, or this is an outrageous, big, fat lie we are being force-fed with.

Drogba was way out of line the other day by claiming that what happened at Chelsea-Barca was a f***ing disgrace.

No, Mr. Drogba. But tonight, it really was.
