Milan will struggle to finish in the top half of the table this season

Roma, Lazio, Juve and Napoli are 4 of their next 5 games

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but this racial abuse in Samp-Roma game....

Do the Roma morons not think for a second what the guys in their own team (Smalling/Kluivert etc) think of all this or do they not count as they're "one of us?!"

Haven't you heard, that's, like, a sign of respect for Italian supporters. The moment someone is considered dangerous enough against your supported team, you're obliged to show your appreciation by throwing out racist chants.

that's if they're not whites else if they are.. random curse words or worse

I remember Materazzi was loved everywhere and fans from all the team agreed that his mom was a whore and remembered him everytime (his mother died early or something)

Agnelli said earlier this day among many things in Juve 2020-2024 business plan launch event that ECA is not pushing for a SuperLeague anymore but the biggest EU clubs still want to find a way to play more international football on top of domestic leagues.

I think it's fair to say they don't think full stop

Is Demiral not ready to get a game? Sarri doesn't seem to rotate in central defense. De Ligt hasn't been great but they hardly bought him to play every game this season but rather as a back-up+ for Chiellini with the latter slowly being phased out over the coming seasons. Now he has to play every match which is probably too early at this stage of his career. Bonucci could probably be dropped as well every now and then. I was at the midweek game against Lok Moscow and boy the locals have little patience with him. Particularly that old geezer sitting next to me. :lol: He had a shocker in the first half of that match to be fair.

If Juve played against a team of complete amateurs they'd manage to play down to that level and then win 1-0 via a deflection in the last minute.

Embarassing by Juve. They drew with a team that with the standards shown today wouldn't be out of place in the third or fourth division.

Inter with a chance to go top.

De Ligt is atrocious so far in Turin. Last game he also made a pen, but the referee refused to give it to Bologna. He makes at least 1 big mistake almost every game.

What the feck happened to De Ligt. Has he managed a single game without personally causing one or more goals? Can we please bench him for Holland before he costs us the euros?

Amazing that Juve will still win the title despite playing so badly.
Why is it amazing? They've been doing it for years.

They're not playing badly at all though, when they've been on song they've been as good as any team in the world this season. They just tend to play down to the level of the opposition.

Today they were missing their 4 best players and it should have been a comfortable win regardless.

Inter bottling things nicely, were 1 up and then conceded twice in four minutes at home to Parma. :lol:

Juve will still win by 5-10 points.

Yeah they're the better team and I think the normal thing to happen is for a gap to build throughout the year. I don't think that's a good thing for them though, actually having a proper challenge that made them work on their flaws and improve would be good for Juve at this point.

Think Inter can seriously challenge next season aslong as Conte stays calm which is far from certain. Inter target should be a strong second which is very possible as Napoli are declining a little year on year.
