To be honest, I'm mostly making a post in order to share this hilarious picture. There are few other things going on, though.

•Both Gambit and Gila are expected to start for Italy against Cyprus tomorrow and, barring a huge surprise, LDS and Seculin will do the same for the U21s today. Jojo and Mutu are already back in Florence and are training

1. I suspect Angua will be delighted by the way Monty is clutching his bum and grimacing in pain in that giant picture. As for Cesare, I think he's shaking his head slowly and sadly.
2. In toto, I have gleaned "Nah, nah, Melo, you shouldn't have gone to Juve" from the linked article. Am I right?
3. €10,000 for being rude to the refs. Mario must be in line for a sum about equalling the national debt, then.
4. "I'm more Italian than Carla Bruni is French." That's not saying very much, though, is it? :P
5. Ujfi is a UFO?! XDDD
6. Awww @ Cesare getting grumpier with age. <3
7. choose a penance for Corvino if the defense comes at the end of the season in the top three.
"Diet. Iron. No pasta for a month."
There is nothing I can say that would add to the hilarity. (I assume "iron" means working out.)
8. ZOMG HE COMPARED HIMSELF TO DEPARDIEU EXCELLENT. I knew I was right to make him Obelix.
9. CESARE = BORDEAUX AND DOMENECH = HOUSE WINE. I ROFL TO INFINITY.
10. Why am I not surprised he likes manga, with that hair?
11. it took talent to be able to grow old without becoming adults. SPOT ON. <3

Iron supplements? Maybe he doesn't eat anything good and sits around, popping pills. Actually, that'd explain the total lack of fitness far better than working out would! (I just started thinking about him playing the field during warmup and small-sided games, and cannot stop giggling. I hope he tries, and is mocked incessantly.)

1. Iron tablets make you constipated, though! He'd always be on the loo, we'd never see him.
2. I refuse to believe he doesn't eat anything good. He seemed reasonably pleased about that truffle, and besides, he's Italian.
3. Now I keep thinking of Monty and Corvino food-themed fic. Hmm. Something about Monty asking if he can have the panda's month's supply of pasta? I'm wondering whether he would get perceptibly larger if he ate it, or if he remains willowy no matter what. (And how he would transport it all home, obviously.)
4. Well, they would put him in goal, duh! There's nowt gonna get through THAT one!
