    They really do hate this competition. It's all over the place. They even put the matches on during the day on mid weeks days as well. You couldn't make it up.

    Premier Sports are showing rugby on both channels and Freesports are showing MLS for some reason, surely the Serie A would have higher viewership in the UK than the MLS.

    Mental decision.

    Vlahovic is ridiculously good for a 21-year-old. He's up to the same amount of goals as Lukaku (21) and is doing it in a side in the bottom half. He looks to me like a player Mourinho would love, and would be a good successor to Dzeko. Very interested to see where he ends up this summer.

    Also pleased to see Osimhen finishing the season well. He's had a tough season with injury and Covid but I think he'll kick on next season.

    He will stay at Fiorentina unless a ridiculous offer comes in for him. Fiorentina do not need the money like others.

    Pressure really on now for the game tonight. Any loser will be really lagging behind with 3 games to go

    I'd say he's scored more goals than the entire Irish squad since the Ireland/Serbia game!

    Agree.
    Mediocre club the last couple of seasons. Dzeko on last legs. Good few are 30+. Monchi gone and his signings haven't worked out. Doesnt appear to have much cash from new owners to overhaul squad.

    Mourinho is ridiculed for what has happened in the last 10 years. Mostly with justification.
    But it is still only 10 yeas ago when he was on course to go down as one of the greatest mangers.
    Other than the fact that he prefers to work with more established players this Roma doesn't look like a great fit for either of them.
    Top 3 would be an achievement next season.

    He might "prefer" to work with established players at big clubs, but that's when he's at his worst. Mourinho is at his best when forced to work with limited money, or teams well below where they should be, forced to work with what he has really. His management makes average enough players believe they are world beaters, the likes of your Milito's

    He takes jobs at Madrid and United, but it's only detrimental to his management style. Pressure to play an attacking game, getting bogged down with ego's and nonsense. Roma is the perfect fit really. A tier 2 team struggling with little expectations, could play more defensive football in Italy too, without hassle on his back. He'll turn them around imo, make them believe they are better than they are

    Massive win for Cagliari at Benevento. They've left things very late but Cagliari's recent form might have saved them.

    Big game coming up for the Champions League places as Juve host Milan. Ibra and Ronaldo both featuring.

    What a goal.

    I know the goal went my teams way but I am so sick of VAR. Sucks the fun out of the excitement of seeing an amazing goal like that

    I don't remember thinking that at any stage.

    Was a very even game up until about 40mins.

    Loads of quick passing, some bad passing, plenty of strong 50/50s and a few snakey ones thrown in

    Class goal from Rebic, Juve in serious trouble now

    Milan have Torino (A), Cagliari (H), Atalanta (A)

    Juventus Sassuolo (A), Inter (H), Bologna (A)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,831 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    3-0 Milan

    Getting embarrassing for Juve

    Napoli are the worry here.

    Udinese (H) Fiorentina (A) and Verona (H).

    Should win them but I can see them drop points.

    Hardly a huge upset. Both level on points going into tonight, both exceptionally underwhelming for a long time now too.
