Can Juventus' reign be toppled?

All Serie A discussion can go here.

justshane · 14-08-2017 10:05AM

I think Juve might be toppled this year. Whatever happens I reckon it will go right till the end of the season.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 14-08-2017 10:10AM

will be interesting to see how the 2 Milan teams go this year, should make better challenge for the Top 4. Roma seem to have lost too many players without replacing them but maybe Monchi will pull a few signings out of the bag before the end of the window. Think Napoli will push hardest but Juve will win it.
My Top 4
1. Juve
2. Napoli
3. AC Milan
4. Roma

ERG89 · 14-08-2017 11:05AM

If they can keep their heads I think Napoli can win the league this season. Juve selling Bonucci is a mistake and they haven't improved the team enough this summer. Roma have sold a lot and haven't replaced them with quality, Spalletti will be a loss too. Milan have bought so much I don't expect a title challenge with so many new players in the starting XI.

Optimistic top 4

1. Napoli
2. Juve
3. Milan
4. Inter

For some reason I feel Roma might win it but then I realise their team has got weaker. Napoli seemed to make a few smart buys, I think Maksimovic will be top defender.

SEANoftheDEAD · 14-08-2017 12:48PM

I'm gonna go for a AC Milan team managed by Conte to push Juve until the end of the season with them finishing 2nd.
Possible Europa League winners too.

18-08-2017 02:39PM

Can't wait for tomorrow. See the league properly contested this year.

Napoli
Juventus
Lazio
Milan
Roma

Not much between the choices.

I wish I could see Granata near top, but I think only top 10,

Juve 1-0 up against Cagliari in Turin.

Mandzukic with the goal.

Ulysses Gaze · 19-08-2017 05:41PM

Referee uses the VR for the first time in Serie A and awards Cagliari a penalty.

Poor penalty and Buffon saves.

irishguitarlad · 19-08-2017 07:13PM

Going to watch the serie a this year. It looks like it's going to be great. I'm tipping napoli.

irishguitarlad · 19-08-2017 08:36PM

Napoli winning two nil at half time, that pass by insigne for the second was beautiful.

Pjanic's assist for Dybala earlier was lovely too.
I liked how Milik's finish was so smooth the assist, goal was like 1 motion.

I'll have to watch that tomorrow as for the napoli game i watched until he 60th minute mark as my stream packed in after that:-(

Jim Bob Scratcher · 20-08-2017 05:51PM

Great debut for Kolarov

ERG89 · 20-08-2017 07:54PM

Wahey 1-0 Milan at 10 man Crotone. Kessie!
I'll try watching this ignoring that Fabio Borini exists

Rekop dog · 20-08-2017 08:05PM

Cutrone makes it 2. Surprised he started

They are hyping him as the next big thing from the youth team, which in fairness is actually pretty good. If they had used it previously Auyembang and Darmian would be still playing there

chopperbyrne · 20-08-2017 09:06PM

Both Milan and Inter playing well, though hard to truly judge Milan when they play against 10 after five minutes.

Napoli and Roma will be strong too, with Juve being the team to beat.

Should be a good competitive season.

Are BT showing a goals round up show of Serie A. I can't see one listed. They've got highlight shows for the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Eredivisie and Scottish, but nothing for Serie A?

kksaints · 21-08-2017 10:27PM

Highlights of the matches are on Youtube on the Serie A Tim page.

kksaints · 22-08-2017 10:15PM

That new Juventus crest is terrible. Looks really out of place with the rest of the Serie A crests.

26-08-2017 05:17PM

Wow, Genoa 2 - 0 in 6 minutes to Juventus. Thanks to OG and VAR

ERG89 · 26-08-2017 07:36PM

Dybala doing the business for Juve ahead of the still overweight Higuain.
Love the irony of VAR giving 2 penalties against them already

Interesting game tonight. It's 1 summer window but Monchi has been underwhelming so far. I could have recommended Defrel & Schick to them.
Although who knows where the latter will go. Was joining Juve, then Inter & now Roma. Apparently Juve are back in for him after sending him back to Samp :rolleyes:

Headshot · 26-08-2017 09:22PM

It's like deja vu

This is why I love this sport

Serie A is just a brilliant watch

ERG89 · 26-08-2017 09:40PM

Roma have to be sickened. Dominated the first hour but never put the ball in the net to show that.
Haven't replaced Salah & despite improving the squad (apparently) they still have centre back at right back
Icardi was lethal & bar the bad miss he took his chances ruthlessly in the second half. Inter have a lot more direction under Spalletti

Yeah, they have a Serie A review (hosted by the stunning Laura Barriales). It's usually shown Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

Wonder if anyone will go in big for him before deadline!

Great game in Naples

Good to see Atalanta aren't falling off.
Meanwhile Milan look a lot less convincing. Back 4 seems unorganised & has little protection.

To be expected with 4 new players across the line this season. Will naturally take a while to blend.
