Parma 1 Lecce 1
Milosevic 53' Lucarelli 93'

Fortunately, I got to Rai's website too late to download the "highlights".

Good grief, the sky's fallen in. We've become hopeless!! It was only with a bare flicker of a sigh that I greeted the 94th minute Lecce equaliser though. I seem to have become immune to feelings as far as Parma is concerned. I wonder if that's my fault or the team's?? However, when I caught the goals on Rai, I was absolutely gob-smacked! What WERE you doing, Gigi?? That's just about the worst goalkeeping blunder I have ever seen!!

Heck, we have Udinese in the coppa on Wednesday! Quite honestly, who really cares about the coppa - or the UEFA coppa, come to that. This is a terribly disappointing season with terribly disappointing results from awful games and (seemingly) mediocre players.
