Sampdoria won again last night to make it 15 points from 18 and their best ever start to a season under Beddows!

Samp were hounded to sell some of their young star defenders in pre-season but resisted and it might be decisions that pay off. The coup though was the surprise capture of Javier Hernanadez (89) who was offered to us for CASH plus the Tottenham great Vincent Janssen and we snapped their hand off! The journey so far…

Stuttgart (A) 2-1 (Lemina and Balotelli)

Leicester City (H) 1-2 (Lemina)

Montpeiller (A) 2-1 (Lima and Hernandez)

Sunderland (A) 1-0 (Hernandez)

Twente (H) 2-1 (Hernandez and Jason)

Saint-Etinenne (A) 3-1 (Shelvey, Balotelli and Hernandez)

This team (unlike last seasons) has goals in it! And alot of them. Petagna hasnt even got going yet! And the hero – Balotelli has 3 (including a strike in the cup).

Could a promotion challenge beckon for Samp and Beddows?
