Just get Ramsey back from his loan and sign Bale on a free and you will win the treble.
Paratici is at Spurs now, but it seems the Pogback asteroid will hit us nevertheless ffs!

Regardless of whether Inter wins Scudetto or not, surely this diving is shameful, especially the dive that Vlahović did.

Stupid and desperate, yes… but shameful??? Also considering that VAR would scrutinise any decision originating from controversial play. It is what it is… the game is over, all rationale fans just move on.

Said for months Napoli will win it. Really good result at the weekend and both Milan clubs lacking consistency in the run in.

Napoli were stronger years back but came up against that formidable Juve of the mid 2010s so feels a bit Chelsea 2012 but they'll certainly take it.

Wonder if Spalletti might be in with shot of being next Italy manager?

Juventus in danger at Cagliari with a brilliant header from De Ligt to keep them in the game. 1-1 after the first half.

Poor, flat and ugly to eye… yet amassing 50+ shots in three games (Villareal, Inter, Cagliari) for 2 goals while conceding 5 goals from 5 total shots (and 3 penalties) is Lourdes material maybe... trying as hard as we can for sure.

They look like United at times but that Pellegrini goal should never have been cancelled out either...

Had a bet on so watched the Juve second half....Vlahovic and Dybala were class linking up. Feels a bit of a missed opportunity if Juve aren't going to extend Dybala's contract as that combination has serious potential. Who are Juve looking as number 10 replacement?

It is the rule though. From Rabiot's elbow directly to the net. Textbook handball.
Im not clued up on the new rule; it has always been historically that handball requires intentional handling of the ball. I thought they now had to judge the "validity" of the player's hand or arm position in relation to the rest of their body to determine that. So here, Rabiot had tucked his hands into his body, as tight as he possibly could, and tried to make himself as small a target as possible to get away from the ball and NOT to get hit but its textbook handball? How so? Genuine q I dont know anymore than what I said about the rule. I remember Gasperini complaining about it saying the players should cut their arms off to get round the rule - but even here it wouldn't have helped becuase Rabiot's stumps would have been in the centre mass of his body where he got hit.

Man, had we capitalised on our dominance and beat Inter we would now be only three points behind the top with the momentum on our side :(

Inter gain the initiative again after Napoli lost and Milan drew. 6 games to go (7 for Inter).

Anyone know much about Bremer for Torino? Looked really impressive from the highlights, strong, fast, got some very good tackles in. Could be a great pickup for a team in need of a CB.

Bremer is already on radar of pretty much every side. Apparently Inter, Juventus and Milan are looking at him, Liverpool too and some other sides from abroad also. Torino will also be looking to sell for sure, even though they can't get more than 35-40 milion in my opinion. They made huge mistake by keeping Belotti, they won't want that to happen again.

Title is Inter's to lose now really. Milan have a very difficult set of fixtures to negotiate, apart from Genoa, there is no certain victories for them really.

Was on Chelsea's list of targets last summer apparently, they'll certainly need at least one new CB this summer.

It's all kicking off at Juve. Penalty and 2 Bologna players sent off at the same time. :lol:

Just realised Juventus are playing in blue at home. Another bewildering decision prioritising money over tradition.

If Roma can defeat Napoli they put huge pressure on Juventus.

And maybe Atalanta aren’t totally out of it. Juventus plays away to Sassuolo next week, a very difficult game for most teams.

Roma equalize in injury time, well deserved

This is honestly the best a Mourinho team has looked since maybe United in 16/17. Maybe it's the weaker league, but Roma look good

He's screaming "E' giusto!!!" Which in the context means we deserved it. And they did. They maybe deserved to win outright

A bit of wishful thinking but he may actually be able to push for a title challenge next season as the whole thing is so open.
Juve is rebuilding, inter has clearly regressed under inzaghi and Millan are inconsistent.
He can really salvage his reputation next season.

12 Serie A matches unbeaten now is pretty impressive. If they can keep Abraham and make a couple of shrewd signings in the summer then next season could be quite interesting indeed.
