Serie A 2024/25

Venezia are terrible, and useless and terrible. The goals they conceded are criminal for a team fighting for their life ffs
 
Pathetic from the Venezia keeper. That's in the middle of the goal.

EDIT: It's that Donut Radu bloke. Didn't he have a mare for Inter every time he played?
 
And Kolo Muani has put Juventus ahead… Ranieri’s Roma needs a reaction from Venezia.
 
First goal they somehow ended up giving up a odd man counter, punted it into throw in and still failed to get back on defence, leaving Yildiz easily getting the ball in the box. Then Radu(best known for costing Inter the title in '22) lets a shot straight at him in

Second goal they somehow fail to clear the ball from their own throw in ball falls to the edge of their box and there's 3 juventus players against one defender somehow....

Fecking Di Francesco man. Another absolutely terrible coach living off a miracle CL run with Roma

Think he was the guy that cost Inter the league one year.
 
Roma back in the UCL currently
 
Are Juve really this washed?

I have them to win on all my slips cause I thought this would be easy work for them - they’re going to ruin my Sunday if they don’t win this
 
:lol:Hellas with 2 goals on 2 shots in a relegation h2h

Venezia playing for their life.. but Juve just got back ahead with a penalty. Well taken by Locatelli. High stakes here.
 
Genuinely amazed Juventus are going to finish on 70 points if they win this. Had a good start to the season (with endless draws) and feels all they've been doing is beating relegation fodder for months. I thought at one stage they were down in the table with AC Milan.

Think Milan at home in January is the only top 7 team they've beaten all season so must've just been incredibly solid against bottom half.

Towards the end of Motta’s tenure they got destroyed by Atalanta and Fiorentina and knocked out of the Cup by Empoli… With Tudor only defat was Parma.
 
Fiorentina up to 6th. Lazio won't be in Europe next season

They've also lost only 3 matches against top 7 though. They've just been solid in general, it's just that it's juventus and they spent a lot of money in the summer so solid team finishing 4th was seen as a catastrophe for most of the season

feck them and their fascist ultras
 
feck them and their nazi ultras

To be honest, don't know much about them but picked them because Palermo (even though they're part of City group) went out.

Fiorentina in the conference league again. They have to win it eventually
 
Feel for Roma. If they had not wasted those two months with Juric, they would easily be in the champions league.

Had they started the season with Ranieri they might have fought for the league (and possibly won the EL too).
 
Di Francesco is a sure bet you know.
He's the quintessential "great at getting you promited from B, terrible at keeping you up" manager. Basically if you give him a strong squad relative to the competition it works, if you don't it's a disaster

It's not even about playing style, his teams just consistently have these ridiculous mental lapses in games and often just go huge chunks of season being a complete mess with zero confidence

joint top of the table tied with Inter and Napoli since Claudio came back!

Being unable to rise on the occasion to steady the season is the most un-juventish thing on earth and with Motta we saw that in abundance this season. Tudor being one of the Lippi boys, he did not fail tonight, at last. Grazie Igor Grazie, forever juventino.

Next in line to feck off must be Giuntoli aka "the chef", the worst sporting director at Juventus since a very long time (cit, Allegri), the man who filled the squad with dross like Kelly & Veiga after selling Hujisen & other youngsters from the academy. Moron!

Gone with a very young squad now compared to picking up top level veterans on a free a decade ago. In different times they've have been in for De Bruyne and Gundogan but now Inter and Napoli pick up those types from the prem on frees.

Guess it's a bit like Chelsea, see where they are in a year when some of the younger players mature a bit more as a group.
 
De Bruyne on a free sounds like a wonderful deal.
If the price is right. Certainly could be a good pick up esp with Allegri, but they'll need an upgrade on Lukaku
