    Inter have gone top and are the only team left with a 100 per cent record.

    Juve were held to a goalless draw at Fiorentina. From looking at the highlights they looked fortunate to escape with a point.

    Sarri won’t last if he keeps picking teams like that, Dybala, Ramsey or Rabbitohs needed to be involved to add some creativity.

    Super strike from Zapata in the 95th minute to give Atalanta the win over Genoa.

    Milan playing against 10 man Verona now. Still going to have a cup of coffee soon.

    Abysmal stuff ahead of the derby next week. 1-0 win & never looked comfortable in open play against a newly promoted team down to 10 men.
    That'll be a dire match to watch if the last few weeks are anything to go by.

    Milan made very hard work of that.

    Was impressed at the performance of Roma. Without the woodwork it could have been 7-2.

    Brescia vs Bologna was a lot of fun and Orsolini is looking like he's about to have a big season. Going to Bologna has done him the world of good.

    Quite an upset tonight as Lecce picked up their first points of the season, winning 2-1 at Torino.

    Inter and Liverpool are now the only teams in the top 5 leagues with 100 per cent records.

    Long may it last!

    Verona hit the post with a pen, then the rebound hits the bar & eventually Veloso volleys in a lovely goal from about 25 yards. Juve will come back but it was quite the minute.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,415 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Absolutely bonkers 30 seconds or so there

    Verona missed the penalty, off the post, the follow up off the bar and Veloso with a belter of a strike to make it 1-0

    They are winning but this Sarri at Juve project has still a lot of developing to do. Brescia & SPAL upcoming should be handy in the next week for them.
    Milan derby tonight & Lazio for Inter midweek.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    The defending by Milan there was so bad if it happened in u8's I'd still think it was bad.

    Inter to win the league this year. Haven’t seen them play this well since José! (Except last Tuesday )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Delighted for Lukaku. Great start to his Inter career.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 89 ✭✭Salt Lake Stallion


    Another win for Inter, 4 from 4. Looking good so far under Conte, in Serie A at least. Another goal for Lukaku, 3 in 4 for him, proving that he does score in big games. Milan looked terrible, going to struggle yet again this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Milan should beg Allegri to come back. Giampaulo is even worse than Brocchi or Seedorf ever were. They look worse every week & create so few chances even against teams with 10 men they must break XG stats when they score.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 11,453 Mod ✭✭✭✭artanevilla


    I was at Milan Inter tonight. Inter weren't great but they didn't have to be.


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


    Poor old Giampaolo is on his last legs now and it's far from his fault but unfortunately he will get the blame.

    Giampaolo cannot work miracles and that's what this team/club needs to get even close to a CL spot. They just don't have the players to be challenging.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Exciting finish to the Atalanta/Fiorentina game with the home side equalising in the final seconds. Really liked this goal from Fiorentina. What a ball from Chiesa to Ribery.

    Szczesny looked like he never played in goals the way he reacted to that shot.
    I nearly threw up in anger when the commentator said Balotelli & Roberto Baggio are similar. Other than being Italian & having surnames beginning with B I'm drawing a blank.

    Super stop from Udinese's Musso vs Verona. The game ended goalless.

    Italy has a massive problem with racism, something is being reported every matchday now. The Fiorentina v Atalanta game the weekend had to be stopped as fans were making monkey noises at d'albert and then when the announcer told fans to stop,the booing was incessant. Also, last night pjanic was receiving chants of "**** gypsy" from Brescia fans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Chris Smalling made his debut for Roma as they lost 2-0 to Atalanta.

    Inter back on top after a narrow win over Lazio. Handanovic made some important saves.

    Poor night for Napoli as they lose at home to Cagliari. Koulibaly sent off as well. Was a real smash and grab win for the away side.

    Genoa/Bologna was goalless but the visitors could have won it with a pen. Sansone decided to do a Panenka - he hit the crossbar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,682 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    Milan down 2-1 to Torino after dominating possession for most of the match and getting an early lead.

    Pepe Reina sent off in the 72nd minute despite not even being on the pitch...

    Scenes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Piatek & Kessie missed chances that anyone who is able bodied would finish. Torino were absolutely rubbish which says it all about where Milan are now.

    Serie A is quite incredibly crap below the first few teams. It’s a disgrace it has the same amount of CL places as the premier league. Presume it’s just to fend off super league temptations.

    Tbf the points difference in Juve & Inter from the rest won't be as big as the one Liverpool & City will have in the Premier League.

    Or that Barcelona and Real have over the rest of La Liga.

    Atletico wont f**k up that bad.

    I am staggered at how badly Milan have been ran. It's like Man United but they don't generate close to that money. Buy a lot of average-bad players & play a style of football that is not of this century. Donnarumma is just like De Gea then, highly rated but still has a total rick in him from time to time.
