Ever feel like you’re living in a dream? That’s how I feel every time I watch Napoli these days. I’ve been supporting Napoli for over a decade, and while I’ve seen plenty of good teams and exciting matches, I’ve never seen anything close to what I’m seeing from Napoli right now.
In a season that was supposed to be a rebuild, Napoli sit in first place in Serie A and have dominated a Champions League group featuring Liverpool, Ajax and Rangers, winnings their first four matches and outscoring them 17-4. They genuinely look like one of the best teams in the world.
There’s a voice deep in the recesses of my brain that tells me this is too good to be true, and there’s no way this Napoli team — as young and inexperienced as it is on the big stage — can maintain this throughout the entire season. But there’s a much louder voice in the front of my brain yelling, “shut up! Who cares? This is awesome! Ride the wave while you can!”
And that’s what I’m doing. Much like I’m hoping to ride the same wave that saw Corner Picks go 3-1 last week. All odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook.

I’ve seen a bit too much concern for Barcelona this week. As things stand, it looks near impossible for Barcelona to advance to the Champions League knockout stages. They will probably be relegated to the Europa League for the second straight season. This will be catastrophic for the club’s finances, which were already a catastrophe. And you know what I say to that? Good. I have nothing against Barcelona. I love Lionel Messi and those Barcelona teams he led that dominated the world, but Barcelona have nobody to blame for this mess but Barcelona. They spent more money than they had, and when they needed to be wise, they made more stupid, short-sighted decisions thinking the best way to solve being broke is spending even more…
