Milan are so skint they can't afford to pay the refunds as their owner is about as rich as myself.

Lol. They should refund the Interisti who bought tickets. I know it's possibly a bit of a muddle for those who bought tickets for the home sectors but I'd say there's a way they can prove their Interisti. If someone bought a ticket for secondo verde then it's obvious, for others if they have an Interclub membership, tessera del tifoso or even if they have to present at the ticket office covered head-to-toe in nerazzurro (maybe a Milanista might be so desperate for his money back he'd go that far

but I doubt it).

Jorge Sampaoli in La Gazzetta dello Sport today saying that despite not including Dybala and Icardi in his squad for the friendlies, which strongly suggests that both will miss out on the World Cup, he would always find a place in his team for Balotelli were he Argentinean... rrriiiggghhhttt!

Lautaro Martinez is supposed to be in with a shot of making the squad and Inter are said to be favourites to land him. Sampaoli went to see him play for Racing Club in Argentina a few months back and he scored a hat-trick. Sampaoli then went to see him again a few weeks later and he scored another hat-trick. He's got a superb scoring record and loads of European clubs are after him but from what I gather Diego Milito has been influential in making Inter favourites for him.

Yes, you're bang on with all of that. He's supposed to be very similar to Sergio Aguero but we've bought enough "superstars" from South America only for them to turn out duds that I'll wait until seeing him in nerazzurro (if he does in fact arrive) before judging. My incredulity at Sampaoli's statement isn't that he's dropped Dybala and Icardi in and of itself, Argentina have a plethora of fabulous attacking players, but the fact he's dropped those two and still says he'd find a place for Balotelli.

Lovely Gazzetta special on this morning on BT with a documentary to follow this evening at 10 after the Juve - Milan game.

Rekop dog · 31-03-2018 06:34PM

Napoli doing their finest Napoli impression.

Vincent Vega · 31-03-2018 07:15PM

Oh no Napoli, baby, what is you doin??

justshane · 31-03-2018 08:17PM

Bonnuci had no problem celebrating scoring v Juve. Great goal by Dybala also.

Vincent Vega · 31-03-2018 08:24PM

Could prove to be a really important goal that.
Would love to see Juve drop points.
Give Napoli something to play for in their game in 3 weeks time.

They drew earlier. I'd bet my life savings on Juve beating them in a few weeks. No doubt Sarri will blame daylight savings or some crap for today's result. They got to play first & blew it again.

Oh yeah I know, that's what my other post was in reference to.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Napoli dropping points against Milan too, so would be happy to see Juve drop at least some here so as to keep it interesting.

Early enough start for the Milan derby today. Kick-off is 5:30.

Cant be on same time as CL. Seems crazy to have a full round of games on the same week anyways or are these the rearranged games?

Could be due to the postponed games a few weeks ago

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-04-2018 06:13PM

Icardi makes it 1-0. Cool finish.

Edit: Spoke too soon as VAR comes to Milan's rescue. That is so tight that offside call. Back to 0-0.

Half-Time: Quite an even enough game but Inter looking more likely to score. VAR's offside call was marginally correct. Before that Icardi was almost in on goal but Brozovic overhit the pass.

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-04-2018 06:51PM

Icardi has just had the miss of the season.

It was an open goal!

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-04-2018 07:29PM

Oh my goodness Icardi's missed another chance. Not as glaring a chance as the previous one but still a very good opportunity,

And it's all over. It ends 0-0. Amazing the game ended goalless. On another night Icardi could be coming away with a hat-trick. He should have had at least one.

Harry Palmr · 04-04-2018 07:31PM

Hats off to Lucas Leiva as Serie A POTM.

Benevento draw against Juventus after 65 minutes... Who would predict that

Still half an hour to go...

Cheick Diabate has done very well for Benevento since they got him on loan in January. Pity Benevento couldn't hold out against Juventus.

Torino vs Inter should be a good morning game tomorrow, especially with Roma losing to Fiorentina. Chance now for Inter to grab third place.

wonski · 08-04-2018 12:45AM

Feel sorry for them. They were close, but they lack what Juventus and other Italian teams have.

Headshot · 08-04-2018 06:52PM

These CL spots are going down the wire. It's like no one wants them lol

Yeah it's crazy that at least one team hasn't made 3rd theirs yet and it could even come down to the last game when Inter play away to Lazio, it's set up for a proper one off game for CL football and could make it a very interesting last day.

Headshot · 08-04-2018 09:21PM

oh wow this could be a huge shock

Some goal

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-04-2018 10:27PM

Some impressive results for the teams fighting the drop. Verona and Crotone winning and Sassuolo getting a point away to Milan.

Pleased to hear Napoli turned it around against Chievo to keep the title race just about alive.

Rekop dog · 11-04-2018 10:17PM

Feel a bit of pride for this league after their showing in the Europe this week. Hopefully Lazio can finish the job tomorrow.

Criminally underrated
Pity we dont see Buffon win a CL, would love Roma to win it

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-04-2018 07:37PM

Atalanta vs Inter Milan coming up. If Inter can get a win it would put a lot of pressure on Lazio and Roma tomorrow. Team news:

Atalanta XI: Berisha; Toloi, Caldara, Masiello; Hateboer, de Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Cristante; Barrow, Gomez.

Inter Milan XI: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, Skriniar, Miranda, Santon; Gagliardini, Valero; Cancelo, Rafinha, Perisic; Icardi.

Tough game for Inter, poor away form recently so I have a feeling Atalanta will get something.

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-04-2018 07:54PM

What a miss by Gomez. Lovely move from Atalanta.
