Didn't Paloschi belong to Milan at one time?

He did, I remember when he burst onto the scene with a couple of goals in his first few sub appearances, might have been 06/07 or 07/08.

1. Milito (Inter) 8.43
2. Miccoli (Palermo) 8.36

1. Borini (Roma) 7.71

3. Miccoli (Palermo) 7.36
4. Giovinco (Parma) 7.29
5. Jovetic (Fiorentina) 7.21

Borini

Miccoli has been in some cracking form lately too.

FI, do you know what his celebration is about?

I didn't previously but I've just found these quotes from him:

Quote :

"I've been planning that celebration for a long time," declared Borini. "In Italy it means you've got the knife between your teeth.
"When you want to achieve something so badly that you are angry to reach your goals, you put the knife between your teeth.
"That's what I was trying to show by putting the side of my hand in my mouth."

Fair enough Fabio.

Cheers FI, still pretty weird though for me

This week's top five:
1. Barrientos (Catania) 7.43
2. Pinilla (Cagliari) 7.29
3. Izco (Catania) 7.21
4. Caracciolo (Novara) 7.21
5. Maxi Lopez (Milan) 7.07

Cesena have sacked Arrigoni and brought in former Brescia manager Beretta as their third manager this season.

This week's top five:
1. Cavani (Napoli)
2. Pirlo (Juventus) 7.71
3. Di Vaio (Bologna) 7.64
4. Muriel (Lecce) 7.50
5. Cudrado (Lecce) 7.36

Cudrado's goal was awesome. In fact so were a couple of Lecce's other goals.

There is chaos at Lazio after boss Edy Reja is understood to have resigned as Coach of the capital outfit.
Reja has reportedly chosen to end his Lazio career after his relationship with President Claudio Lotito and sporting director Ighli Tare broke down.
The tactician has made no secret of the fact that he was left disappointed by the club’s work during the January transfer window.
He has done it before at the start of the season.

Says they rejected his resignation. Not sure what the players would think, playing under a manager who doesn't particularly want to be there.

I reckon we'll have them a week on Sunday.
