Serie A Superthread

5-0 demolition job from Inter last night. Pressure really on Napoli tomorrow and given the state the Milan squad are in they would be blessed of they won it and then got to Christmas only a point behind Inter.

Roma currently 2-1 up against Atalanta

That's a superb result for Roma.

Pep…. kloop… they all turn very nasty when they have suffered defeat…

I will tell you what is fraudulent. A manager gracious in defeat is a fraudulent.

A fraud no but a dinosaur yes and the big clubs have all moved on to looking for the likes of these German technical nerds.

There are squads ravaged with Covid seem to have more first team players than Milan. Hernandez added to the list today with the flu

Looked like a big equaliser from Kessie but chalked off for offside. This could be a huge 3 points for Napoli if they hold out.

And they do held out. Napoli drag themselves back into the title race. Think Milan fans have a right to feel aggrieved though. Seems Giroud deemed to have attempted to play the ball. That's where I'd like the ref to talk through his decision like they do in rugby.

Awful result for Napoli tonight, losing 1-0 at home to Spezia. To go from beating Milan at the San Siro to that.

10 hours of Serie A live action tomorrow, starting with Bologna vs leaders Inter in the morning. Milan vs Roma and Juve vs Napoli look the pick of the games and nice to see they're kicking off in the evening. Hopefully Covid cases don't scupper the fixtures.

The papers are all saying the Bologna, Atalanta, Fiorentina and Salernitana games won't be played today and that the Juve game is unlikely too. The lega won't postpone the games so we'll end up with the same situation as happened between Juve and Napoli last season, it's a joke that the lega are insisting the games go ahead when they know what will happen from that match so why not just postpone? It only hurts the league's image this way.

Are Inter not playing today ?

The game was supposed to be at 11:30 but the Bologna players were ordered to quarantine by the ASL so they didn't turn up, game was abandoned and Inter awarded a 3-0 win but Bologna will appeal and the game will be rescheduled. Everybody knew it was going to happen before Inter travelled but the lega refused to postpone matches so Inter had to turn up to the stadium. Still not sure what will happen with Juve v Napoli but it looks like going ahead seeing as Napoli have already travelled, even if some of the players who travelled can't play.

Nothing like walking in the door from work to see Jr. celebrate goal 2 for Milan

Napoli leading Juve 1-0 via Mertens. Think De Ligt would have cleared it but for Szczesny's touch.

1-1. Chiesa equalises through a deflection.

It ends a draw. Juve players not happy the ref didn't let them take the corner at the end. Good game. Juve need to take their chances. Icardi maybe on the way...

He's not the best or even close sadly. He looks great due to his energy and certainly has the ability to beat average markers but look at him in the CL where he spent his time running into people and falling over and along with Keisse was the biggest disappointment of that campaign.

I did love the shot after the match yesterday where he is still kicking off after winning 3-1 and Pioli is just giggling at him in a "that's Theo" sort of way

Yeah good point, Davis also up there.
