Fair enjoyed that. Roma should have been well in front before the equaliser, but fell apart after that. Nainggolan should have scored at 2-1, would maybe have fancied them to go on and win had he done so.

Game over.

Nainggolan could have just placed that in a corner rather than just putting his foot through it. There's another goal in this.

Nearly a third, Roma all over the place.

Enjoyed that. More goals to come in the second half I think. Hopefully a lot more!

Well taken there from Dzeko. He's had a new lease of life since moving to Roma.
I'd say just since last season, he was pretty pish the year before. Great finish though.

Do Parma have much chance of promotion?
They look like they'd be a good enough shout to make the play-offs, wouldn't expect them to push for the title, anyway. Looked relatively solid at the back and created enough going forward, although the quality was lacking at the end, so scoring enough goals might be an issue. Hard to judge too much given they were playing another side just promoted themselves. The squad is also a bit on the old side - Baraye and Dezi were the only players under 27 last night who started, and even then they're 25, so they might not have the legs to compete at the top end of the table over the course of a 42 game season. I imagine they'll finish top half, maybe sneaking in to the play-offs, then push on next year for a title bid if they don't make it up through the play-offs.

f**k Juve. Benevento looked like they'd scored a 98th minute equaliser for their first Serie A point, but VAR ruled it out.

Finished 1-0. Parma on top in the first half, with it more even in the second. Again a lack of clear chances for either side, although Scaglia made a superb tackle in the six-yard box in the 4th minute of injury time to stop the Cremonese striker scoring. A decent start though.

Parma lead 1-0 at HT, Calaio with a penalty. Bit of a soft award, 'keeper caught the player on the foot but he threw himself down. Had the referee held off blowing the whistle for another half a second, the ball was in the net anyway. Calaio maybe lucky to still be on the park after catching a Cremonese player in the face with a high boot. A game of very few clear cut chances before the goal, Parma had just had the two best opportunities within the 5/10 minutes prior to the goal. Nocciolini nodding wide and Baraye firing wide after going through on goal, although the 'keeper was out quick to close him down, could easily have just dinked it over him though. A decent away crowd down for the game and pretty noisy. Good home support, too.

Serie B gets underway tomorrow, with Parma at home to Cremonese. Game is streaming on Bet 365, and I imagine some other places too. As good a start as Parma could have gotten - a home game against a fellow promoted side. Hopefully they can get three points, and kick on from there.

Couple of the people from the Football Ramble (Marcus and Luke I think) are starting a new podcast around European football with James Horncastle and Andy Brassel. Think the first episode is either today or tomorrow.
Later today, I believe. Looking forward to that.

Dull second halves all round so far.
Zzz. Watched the Milan game, which was uneventful after the first 25 minutes or so. Doesn't seem like I missed much elsewhere though. Great point for SPAL at Lazio though.

Great start from Crotone...

Anyway, Serie A properly gets underway today with the remaining 8 games taking place.
Atalanta v Roma (5pm)
Bologna v Torino
Crotone v Milan
Inter v Fiorentina
Lazio v SPAL
Sampdoria v Benevento
Sassuolo v Genoa
Udinese v Chievo (All 7:45)The Atalanta/Roma & Inter/Fiorentina games the standouts. Interested to see how Benevento get on in their first ever Serie A game. SPAL I can see getting a bit of a pumping tbh, although Lazio won't have Keita or Anderson in the squad. Milan should dish out a bit of a pumping of their own, but hopefully Crotone can cause an upset. Udinese/Chievo easily the least appealing game of the opening weekend.

Hadn't heard anything about that. Maybe a wee bit of late business too.
Only noticed it on Twitter last night. Pavoletti pretty much a straight replacement for Borriello.

I am disappointed in Cagliari. Lack of activity during the summer.
Van Der Wiel & Pavoletti on their way though. Two decent signings there.

3-0 Juve win with Cagliari missing a penalty at 1-0. Looking forward to seeing Napoli tonight.

Juve v Lazio in the Super Cup tonight. Lazio always seem to shit the bed against Juve so imagine it'll be more of the same here.

Foggia mark their return to Serie B with a 5-1 shagging by Pescara. Torino have just pumped Sassuolo, with Belotti scoring a contender for goal of the season already. VAR has been used to overturn a couple of penalties as well.
Also, Mihajlovic...
