I really have to apologize to all Serie A Talk readers as there was so much to discuss in Italian football during the previous forthnight and I haven’t had the time to keep up with it all.
Team with the Final Word
The last two weeks have seen several firsts and record setting events including, Jeremy Menez scoring his first goal for Roma. Menez would follow it up with a mid-week assist on captain Francesco Totti’s goal against Bordeaux.

These are the final words in a fortnight of Italian football next up, Juventus vs. AC Milan and Matchday 16.
