Last week, Atalanta held Udinese to a 0-0 draw in Bergamo. It was a game short of style and skill, but full of scrap and physicality. Normally, when a league leader visits, you would hope for a draw, but at the end of the day, I would have liked to have picked up all three points since Udinese spent much of the second half playing with 10 men.

Round 25 of the Serie B calendar brought back a welcome sight. Us at the top of the table. Novara’s dreadful run of form has seen them go from sure fire champions to in the thick of the dogfight for promotion. Prior to their 1-0 victory over Grosseto, Novara had gone six matches in a row without a victory. Our other closest competitor, Siena, was held to a 0-0 draw with Cittadella moving them level with Novara for second place with 48 points each. Read the rest of this entry »
