    Politano has given Napoli the lead from the spot. Kvara won the pen.

    1-1 now. Are Napoli going to drop points?

    2-1 Napoli. Simeone off the bench with a goal. Not sure what the keeper is doing there.

    3-1. Another Kvara contribution as he puts it on a plate for Lozano. Napoli going 2 pts clear.

    Napoli nearly got a 4th at the end but Radu made a great stop.

    4-1. They do get a 4th! Olivera off the bench in the final action of the game. From the bits I saw of this game, Napoli were given a test despite what the scoreline suggests. Goes to show their form that even when not at their best, they can still hurt teams. I'd love to see them clinch the title.

    Fiorentina hammered 4-0 at home by Lazio. Jovic looks very short of confidence.

    No I wasn't drunk. Milan for decades were the team to beat. When they can get into a position to run an opposition close, they'll always do them, like bottllers Naples, said that months before Milan won the league, and they did them.

    Napoli by rights should run away with the league and they should of run away with it years ago. If Milan hang in I wouldn't gaurantee it.

    I also said months ago, Milan are little more than a mid table club, punching so far above their weight it's incredible, and due to this unforseen success/rise, are building slowly. Limited squad progressing with confidence , the weight of history carries them.

    Milan had no interest in challenging Chelsea away, and only done so at home due to fan pressure over the last week, but that went tits up with the red card.

    I've many Italian mates from around lake Garda who will tell you the same thing. Due to the precarious financial situation top 4 is priority

    Once they stabilise consistently they're coming for Europe again, to take their rightful throne. Laugh now, give it a few years, Milan will be back at their best . It's embarrassing explaining to millennials and what not the greatness of Milan.

    Milan are THE team, the greatest Europe's ever seen. There or there abouts for four decades. Greatness doesn't die. They're coming again

    Ye, the last two essays of sensationalist muck on behalf of Milan were after that enlightened mood of 3 or 4 beers, before passing that apex of being drunk. Ye, cringe inducing rubbish, but an undercurrent of truth prevailing in both also one must concede.

    I think something everyone can agree on, is Europe is a far poorer place without a competitive Milan. Huge hole

    2-2 between Napoli and Bologna in the 2nd half. Meret just had a howler of a moment, letting Barrow's shot under him.

    3-2. Osimhen finishes after Kvara plays him in.

    It finishes 3-2 to Napoli. Deserved win but they made it hard for themselves. Meret looked really shaky. I thought he was having a decent season before tonight.

    Napoli at least showing heart, winning when not playing well.

    Especially as they have the mighty Milan behind them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,397 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Another lucky get out of jail from "the greatest team in European history"

    Milan really need the injury list to clear up.

    The Bunga-bunga derby just kicked off in Milan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,545 ✭✭✭dor83


    Some end to Fiorentina v Inter, Jovic equalises in the 90th minute to make it 3-3 but Mkhitaryan is in the right place and deflects a clearance in to make 3-4 to inter in the 95th minute.

    Cracking game. Fiorentina thought they had grabbed a ;oint with a 90th minute equalizer but there was a last second winner - played onto Mikhataryan's foot by the defender trying to clear it and into the goal, 3-4



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


    Just saw the highlights. That will be tough to top for Serie A game of the season. Wishing now I'd watched it live.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Smell the glove


    Poxy Inter.



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


    Roma vs Napoli will be interesting. Wonder if Mourinho can figure out a way to stop them.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Can't see it happening without Dybala - he makes them tick and has been a real source of goals too.



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


    Mourinho wanting Ndombele booked for diving. 😂 Wasn't a pen but wasn't a dive either. I think that's a bit of bad blood from the Tottenham days.



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


    OSIMHEN! WHAT A GOAL.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,817 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    An absolute cracker - poor by Smalling.

    Did Karsdorp just put his hands on the ref after the whistle there? Looked like a shove to me but I'd need to see it again.

    Having watched it back, he does touch the ref. Could get a ban for that.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Smell the glove


    Terrible match but what a goal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,397 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Napoli keep managing to get over the line.



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


    Nice goal by Armand Lauriente tonight. He was a good player at Lorient and looks a smart bit of business by Sassuolo. I can see bigger clubs looking at him down the line.



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


    Torino leading Milan. Leao is having a shocker so far.

    Miranchuk makes it 2-0!

    Pioli takes off Leao and Diaz at half-time. Can't argue with it.

    2-1. Game on. Absolute gift from Torino.

    Full-time. Milan's first away loss in Serie A since last November. Napoli go 5 points clear.

    Atalanta vs Napoli looking a good contest. 1-1 already after 20 odd minutes. Osimhen's nice header cancelling out Lookman's pen.

    Napoli turn it around to lead 2-1. Elmas with the goal but Osimhen made it by bullying Demiral off the ball.

    Full-time and a great 2-1 win for Napoli. Really good game. Atalanta will be disappointed not to get something as they had chances, particularly Hojland. Lookman was a big threat.

    Maldini just scored against Milan to level the game.

    Milan should have put this game to bed by now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,397 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    I can't understand why top clubs are not putting big money down on Tonali.

    Goal disallowed but great finish all the same.

    VAR making an awful fool of itself tonight. Not for the eventual decisions but time and communication.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,397 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Giroud scores with a great finish from a cracker of a pass from Tonali.

    Rips off his shirt and gets sent off. First yellow was for getting involved in a scuffle.

    Some atmosphere at San Siro last night. Some great goals. Massive that Milan got the win in the end. Need to stay in touch for when Napoli do their yearly collapse.
