Summary: Anto is joined by Italian football commentator Owen Neilson to have a look at the fallout from the AC Milan-Juventus clash over the weekend that had more controversy than six matches strung together, resulting in even more player suspensions, overturned goals, outrage and conflict between clubs and executives .. but may just signal the resumption of an historic rivalry renewed at long last. We examine how the match played out and what we may have learned about Max Allegri and Antonio Conte in their very young managerial careers, how the events seemed shaped based on a history that neither manager could quite grasp or control and in many ways was bigger than their ability to handle at the present time. We also consider just how much Gigi Buffon has been dragged into this controversy and how the executives at both Milan and Juventus failed to keep this contest entirely under control, even though the theater was entirely intriguing on a number of fronts. Then we shift gears to look at the story of Udinese this season, which might be one of the brightest surprise packages again for the second season running given the number of players who were sold and its coach rancesco Guidolin just continues to dial up results no matter the challenge both in Serie A and in the Europa League, and has recently won an award voted by his peers and the top manager in his league. Then we take a trip into the wild world of Serie B this season as four major contenders have emerged for promotion this season including an historic club in Torino, an old champion in Verona, a club never seen in Serie A in Sassuolo and the always enigmatic Zdenek Zeman with Pescara who might be making a triumphant return to the Italian top flight.
