Serie A Superthread

It's quite sad to see how bad this Ac Milan team is

Game over 3-3. What a game. I'm delighted I've invested so much time in this league.

Can't understand the decision to move D'Ambrosio over to the left after he's been decent at right back. I know he can play there but wouldn't it have been better to keep him where he was comfortable? Brozovic is horrendous in the trequartista role and Gaglia looks completely out of depth, against Sassuolo for goodness sake, and it's obvious how much we need Vecino.

What is going on over in San paolo, looks like some half.

It's the type of match that if Napoli can win it it could be the springboard to bigger things for the belief it would give.

There should now be a fan strike against the Zhangs. Their way of running the club is disgraceful. Talk rubbish about returning the club to the Champions League and to the top and then coming up with nonsense about FPF as an excuse not to invest. With owners like this, this is what will continue to be the result year on year.

Ft: 3-2 to Napoli

Obviously didn't see it because I was watching the disgrace that passes for Inter these days but to come back twice and win shows nerve and coglioni that I wouldn't have put on Napoli especially playing a decent side.

Could be worse you could be a Milan fan thinking Atalanta & another derby defeat is pencilled in for either side of Christmas day.

I'm actually about to watch it myself. I need to watch at least one team this weekend which deserves the blue-and-black jersey they wear. I have a strong soft spot for Atalanta due to strong links I have with Bergamo.

Big problem though - I know my wife's Christmas present to me is a trip to see Inter - ten days ago I was excited, now I don't want to fûcking go.

I knew Atalanta would win before it was played. Sometimes I wish the nerazzurri I'd chosen had been Bergamaschi!

Not really if the poor results don't scare fans off the poisonous brand of football will.
Hope Donnarumma does go to Real or whoever & performs like this instead of doing it at Milan.
Himself, Bonucci, Biglia & Borini are embarrassing for several different reasons.
Fair play to Atalanta though, such an exciting season for them despite losing a few players they kept the train on the tracks & imo are eclipsing last season.
I remember Cristante btw :pac:

It's the first time since the derby that I've seen Donnarumma but I genuinely don't see this "next Buffon". As p1ssed off as I am with Inter and as much as I'm not a Handanovic lover, I don't want Donnarumma.

I'm genuinely excited about this match now though. I think Roma can win the league this season but tonight will show whether my belief has a chance of coming true or if it's dead in the water.

Something is going seriously wrong behind the scenes... again.

Juventus are just walking the league and the cup every year and this is the seventh year they're doing it. This kind of domination has never happened before and what is the reason for it now? It's not even as if they're winning the league and cup with any sense of difficulty, they're just absolutely walking it. Something is up again and it's just a question of how long it will take to find it out. As I've said, I think it's something to do with the stadia and no other club of similar level being allowed to build one.

This has been so easy for Juve. Roma just can't make the most of what they are given. Alisson has been impressive again imo

You do realise they're still behind Napoli even with this win? I mean recent history doesn't give me much faith Napoli will hang on up there but at least wait until Juve forge ahead before ranting about them walking away with it.

It's December and Juventus are a point off the top, if you think Napoli being ahead means anything you're welcome to that opinion... the death knell for Italian football has been sounding for a few years now and Juventus winning 20 in a row nevermind 7 is the realistic situation... funny thing about it is they'll suffer too because nobody having a chance and it being a glorified Scottish Premier League will eventually turn people against it and football will die in Italy.

Fair silly comment though to suggest anything connected to them is a rant. Leopards don't change their spots.

Roma left it far too late to go for it, didn't lay a glove on them until after an hour but that miss by Schick was head in your hands frustrating.
Set pieces were poor by Kolarov all night & kept on whipping in crosses to Dzeko as if he's Bierhoff. Napoli did the same which was worse tbf.
Alisson was great for them & Under had a good cameo.
