Buffon wanted 88 one year. There was general uproar from various quarters, and quite rightly, so he was forced to have a rethink and decided against it. He's still a card-carrying fascist, mind.

Like when he came to us, except for the "won nothing in recent years" bit.

No, because Bologna are gonna win the league

Don't know, mate. I only watch Bologna games. Apart from that I don't follow Italian football. I don't read the media and don't watch footy on the telly. I posted what I did because I happened to see a headline on the sports news bar on Sky News Italia.

Sky Italia saying it's just a question of dotting the i's and crossing the t's.

Is right http://youtu.be/hceRv4ScjcM I remember a few years back, probably even 15 or more, the Italian media were all over the statement "In cases of handball there's no such thing as involuntary action any more" i.e. the rules of footy now state that if a player touches the ball with his hand it's a foul regardless. So this isn't true?

It is tue but it was more a question of their main players telling the manager they would not be denied the opportunity of playing in one of the great cathedrals of world football.

It applies to all the teams tied on the same number of points. From UEFA: 7.05 If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of all the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings (in descending order): a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question; b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question; c) higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question; d) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question; e) if, after having applied criteria a) to d), two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to d) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria f) to h) apply; f) superior goal difference from all group matches played; g) higher number of goals scored from all group matches played; h) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons (see paragraph 9.03). http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/competitions/Regulations/01/80/06/31/1800631_DOWNLOAD.pdf
