    i tried looking on youtube, but the people who make the videos about him seem to have a plan to make football look like the most boring thing ever. all alleged style and no content. when 20 seconds of a 2-minute video shows a player running in slow motion, you know they're short of decent footage. the music over the videos, jeezus blinking rice, loud and crap.

    Geeze I think I've got a soft spot for him just because I cringed so much in that interview. Something seriously needs to be done about that interviewer.

    I'm assuming that's today considering he's training but where are we? Didn't we head over to Manc yesterday? If so who is loaning us training pitches?

    Not important, just interested.

    That's Cottingham yesterday I assume, with Cottingham St Mary's Church in the back ground.

    I'll have Chelsea as long as they win the league, and if not they can **** off and I'll have the team that does.

    1) it's 1 game. We've had plenty of players who did well at the start

    2) I was talking of previous performances. If Silva can get him playing how 9 other managers haven't, he's a genius

    3) I posted on here that I will be absolutely ****ing delighted if he proves me wrong. I notice you didn't include that part.

    Musta been a later post bummers. Saw an article saying Mancini didnt like him but Conte kept faith wtih him, here it is.
    Andrea Ranocchia, Hull City
    Not many players come to the KCom Stadium on loan from Internazionale, and on the face of it Hull have made an eye-catching acquisition in an Italian defender with 21 caps. Yet though Ranocchia briefly captained Inter following the retirement of Javier Zanetti he subsequently lost his place as well as the armband when Roberto Mancini returned as manager and has spent the past year on loan at Genoa and Sampdoria.

    The good news for Hull is that Ranocchia is big, strong and powerful in the air. The slightly less good news is that, at 28, he seems to be slowing up and becoming a little error-prone. Some of his blunders at Inter were magnified via social media and the defender ended up being ridiculed by his own fans, though Antonio Conte remains an admirer and kept faith with the player when in charge of the national team. Looking on the bright side, Ranocchia could bring presence and leadership to a Hull defence that already seems to have tightened under Marco Silva. He made his debut as a second-half substitute in the goalless draw at Old Trafford on Wednesday and will relish the responsibility of trying to keep Hull up, although the Tigers need to score more goals themselves if they are to escape from an unpromising position.

    You mean the same Conte who dropped him and left him out of his Euros squad? That's an interesting definition of 'keeping faith'.

    Should probably research a bit better before getting your bold out...
