So it was used to describe influenza outbreaks in Italy and England in the mid 18th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1504, the Italians suffered what they called an "influenza di febbre scarlattina" - an outbreak of scarlet fever that originated from the heavens.

This is the point the overhaul and development since the final season in the championship is unbelievable. People may point out how much has been spent but when promoted we didn’t have a squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
