Parma 2 Fiorentina 2
M Amoroso 4, 90 (pen) Pierini 64; C Amoruso 81

I don't know why I should've been really - but I was VERY disappointed by this result. What made it worse that it was only by a last minute penalty that we were saved. OK, so Fiorentina ain't that bad - and in Nuno Gomez, they have a worthy (if not comparable) replacement for Batigol. But I expected better. Even though I keep repeating that I don't rate our squad this season, I still expected better. First day optimism; hope. But it's the same old story, isn't it??
