Bizarrely it is, Crossy, yes.

People think they're a great story in Italy because of what they stand for.

They've got a young coach in Cesc Fabregas, who we've spoken about many times on this show, whose ideas are seen as very modern, vanguard, and should be followed by other people in the league rather than playing sort of retrograde 3-5-2 games

low block, boring football.

So in that sense, Como are being championed.

They are not like the team that has just come up into the Bundesliga because they have spent considerably more than the 4 million.

Rafa mentioned they have had the highest net spend the last couple of years since they got back into the top flight, but they've spent that well.

Seska's implemented it very well.

And their game this weekend against Cremonese, I mean, they could relegate Jamie Vardy's Cremonese.

And then they've got to hope that results go their way elsewhere because...

Whilst Roma have never been in the Champions League under the Friedkin Group, the Friedkin Group who also own Everton, and they've spent an awful lot of money on Roma, the big focus over the last week or 10 days has really been on Milan and Juventus.

Who wants the crisis club batting more?

And that has been Milan last week, Crossi, because it was very much...

There was a big protest.

They wanted the chief executive of Milan out.

They wanted the sporting director out as well.

But then Milan beat Genoa at the weekend.

And the big surprise was that Juventus lost at home to Fiorentina.

Fiorentina, who've been in relegation trouble for most of this season, but are now safe, didn't really have anything to play for.

They rock up.
