That was some goal from Gervinho. Brought back memories of George Weah.

Was watching highlights of today's games and Krzysztof Piatek looks a very talented striker. He's got 4 goals in 3 games now and is ranked fifth in Serie A for shots per game behind Ronaldo, Dzeko, Insigne and Perisic. Was reading up on him and he only cost Genoa €4m from Polish side Cracovia. Possible bargain of the season if he keeps the goals up. He's away to Lazio next so keen to see how he does there.

Piatek got another goal, taking him top of the scoring charts. Didn't help Genoa much though as they were thrashed 4-1.

Roma looked really poor in their loss to Bologna based on the highlights.

Pleased to see Ronaldo get another goal.

Also really nice long range goal from Udinese's Rodrigo de Paul against Chievo. He provided an assist later as well. He's having a good season.

Granata played like with a hangover yesterday. It was hard to watch us, like keystone kops of calcio :mad:

Looking forward to Inter v Fiorentina tonight.

Fio are great attacking fun, and it will interest to see what Inter will have to cry about this round

MD1990 · 25-09-2018 01:07PM

Roma doing terrible.

Monchi buying way too many players at once a huge problem.

Headshot · 25-09-2018 09:22PM

Great game tonight.

Living up to the booking

ERG89 · 25-09-2018 09:30PM

Missed the first hour

He also is replacing good players (who he didn't sign) with inferior players. He signed a keeper who rarely leaves the 6 yard box to replace Alisson, Pastore was awful business to replace Nainggolan & bought Schick when Salah left even though Dzeko has that role covered. Under and Kluivert who might end up good are about as good as it gets for him.

Inter strikes again against the play

irishguitarlad · 25-09-2018 09:59PM

Inter win another game playing terrible. I don't know how many times they played the ball behind perisic and politano and It went out of play.

Mr.Nice Guy · 25-09-2018 11:56PM

Thought the penalty awarded was harsh on Fiorentina.

Jim Bob Scratcher · 26-09-2018 08:35PM

Only Pastore's second goal for Roma, and it's another great backheel

Piatek's got another goal. He can't stop scoring.

ERG89 · 27-09-2018 10:25PM

One win in five for Milan, that an injury time winner vs Roma by Cutrone. Not even October & I already feel like this season is another write-off.
2 big games Saturday with the Rome derby at 2pm and Juve host Napoli at 5 o'clock. The latter could put Juve 6 points clear which is a big lead this early on for teams chasing them.

Mr.Nice Guy · 27-09-2018 11:44PM

Poor defending from Romagnoli tonight.

De Zerbi's Sassuolo continue to impress. Up to third in the table now after winning 2-0 at SPAL. Milan visit Sassuolo for their next game so that should be one to keep an eye on.

29-09-2018 11:55AM

What a day!!
Roma derby at 14:00
Juventus Napoli at 19:00

And tomorrow, Torino at the mighty donkeys

monkey9 · 29-09-2018 02:49PM

Lovely little back heel finish from Pellegrini to put Roma ahead just before the break.

Jim Bob Scratcher · 29-09-2018 03:37PM

2-1 Roma, nice free kick from Kolarov after Fazio's howler

ERG89 · 29-09-2018 05:13PM

C'mon Napoli I want a title race that isn't half dead by October. 1-1 & Juve all over them since equalising

KERSPLAT! · 29-09-2018 08:04PM

Icardi rested for the CL I assume

NIMAN · 29-09-2018 08:05PM

You'd have to say with the team Juve have, thats Serie A over for this year.

Yep, it's just the same as the Bundesliga now. One top team, another that will look like contenders but never actually are, and the rest fighting for the scraps

Perhaps the EPL and La Liga might be the interesting ones this season?

Was at the Olimpico this afternoon... What an event that was! Great atmosphere, fans and stadium. Very easy to get to, only hardship was a 25 minute walk from the metro station. Getting in was a breeze, but passport checked twice, and patted down twice. While I was in with the Roma fans, I wanted Lazio to win!

However, a decent game and it was a great occasion to finish my tour of Serie A!

Mr.Nice Guy · 30-09-2018 12:07AM

Pleased to see Lautaro Martinez off the mark. Exciting prospect.

Ronaldo looked to have a great game for Juve. Involved in all of the goals and a constant threat.

Didn't realise Genoa were up against Frosinone on Sunday. Top scorer Piatek vs the worst defence in the league. Hope he can keep that scoring run going.

Whereabouts were you? I was in the distini sud est. Great view, and I wasn't in the sun! I was concerned about being too far away from the pitch, but it was fine.

I was in the curva right beside the ultras, was a brilliant experience. I was surprised how much seat swapping occurred

The Golden Miller · 30-09-2018 02:42PM

Another 2 for Piatek so far

Mr.Nice Guy · 01-10-2018 12:28AM

Was watching the highlights and Piatek's first goal was particularly impressive. He seems to have great instincts. I was also impressed with his strike partner Christian Kouame who assisted both of his goals. He put in a lot of work and should help provide Piatek with plenty of chances. I looked Kouame up and apparently they bought him this summer for €5m. That means they found this exciting young partnership for less than €10m. Some incredible scout work there.

Also a very impressive result for Milan as they brought Sassuolo crashing down to earth. I thought that fixture could have been a potential banana skin but Milan were very clinical. Suso's first was a beaut. Hope this setback doesn't affect Sassuolo too much. Doesn't get any easier for them as they next travel to Napoli. I wonder will De Zerbi tone down the attacking philosophy for that one following this Milan drubbing.

justshane · 01-10-2018 12:47AM

Susos second goal, wow!
