Just looking at Hellas Verona's away record this season. Quite remarkably they haven't conceded a goal on their travels so far, but they aint scored many either. Their nine goals scored away give them a record of won 5, drawn 8.
They are top however.

Hellas Verona 26 11 13 2 32 13 overall
13 6 5 2 23 13 home
13 5 8 0 9 0 away

serie b?

that's a pretty clever away record right there - if we could put a record like that alongside our home form we'd be champions.

have you seen them (Verona) play piccs?

didn't work for us though all them draws did it? :p Just saying lol. We didn't hardly lose under Hughes but we drew a lot.. All depends on how other teams around you are doing.

FAO OD...you are fucked brother. I'm sorry.

I read Tim Parks "A Season with Verona" which is about an English guy living in Italy who follows Hellas Verona (and it's crazy fans) for a season all over the country. I have a Hellas Verona shirt as a result. A good holiday read IMHO especially for fans who have followed teams though thick and thin and thinner....

I keep an eye an Hellas verona's results after reading that book too. It's thoroughly tip top.

I've read the book as well. Well written but not very interesting subject.

Dear God

Hellas Verona? It's a sort of Leeds Utd of Italian football, now damned to play in Italian Prima Serie, just like English Second Division.
Why damned? May be because they deserved to win a spectacular title on far 1985, or may be because their fans look like Milwall in England, too much racist with players or other Italian or abroad fans.
A certain Tim Parks, a rag for sure, supports them. He wrote a book about this, the same as Colin Shindler for us, really not amazing for every football true supporter!

I could only say this: Italian defenders are actually the worst all over Europe! I watched for my job Juve-Siena and oh gods how ridicolous was the level of both squads, mates!

Chievo is short for Chievo Verona. The president of Hellas said that the day that Chievo make the Serie A donkeys will fly. The first Verona derby in Serie A had the yellow section of the crowd waving donkeys with wings. Chievo stayed up that season inspired by goals from a certain Bernardo Corradi, Hellas went down.

Correct, Dazby, and I remember that was the best season of Bernardo's not so good career as striker!
Now Chievo is a good middle table club of serie A with less than 15.000 fans at all.

In a suburb of 6000 people.

But they have a fantastic Academy too with some excellent trainers spending a lot of time in all North of Italy!

That might be true but still this weekend of football was quite entertaining in Serie A!!

Remarkably odd. They're playing in the third tier of Italian football, and what about the teams they're playing against? Are they not playing Italian style football too?

They are Italian and playing a boring style.
They conceded this weekend in a 1-1 draw. Typical.
