Sunday

Apr 25 14:00 UK Udinese v Siena
Apr 25 19:45 UK AS Roma v Sampdoria(Live on ESPN)

Some good games there, with the two that are being shown on ESPN being the pick of the bunch imo. This could be an interesting weekend, Inter should be able to beat Atalanta, but with our form since christmas I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't.

This game will start shortly, bet365 is the best option for watching this, and the line-ups are:
Inter: 12 Julio Cesar; 4 Zanetti, 2 Cordoba, 23 Materazzi, 26 Chivu; 17 Mariga, 5 Stankovic, 11 Muntari; 10 Sneijder; 22 Milito, 9 Eto'o.  
Subs: 21 Orlandoni, 6 Lucio, 7 Quaresma, 8 Thiago Motta, 19 Cambiasso, 25 Samuel, 89 Arnautovic.

Atalanta: 32 Coppola; 4 Capelli, 77 Bianco, 5 Manfredini, 13 Peluso; 79 Ferreira Pinto, 22 Padoin, 17 Guarente, 20 Valdes; 72 Doni, 90 Tiribocchi.  
Subs: 91 Rossi, 6 Bellini, 9 Amoruso, 15 De Ascentis, 19 Chevanton, 21 Radovanovic, 70 Ceravolo.

Mariga starts a Serie A match? :eek:

dor83 · 24-04-2010 05:06PM

1-0 Atalanta

EDIT: Should be 2-0, Inter have started very badly.

dor83 · 24-04-2010 07:34PM

It finished 3-1 to Inter with Milito, Mariga and Chivu for Inter. Palermo v Milan starts in 15mins, looking forward to this one, Palermo haven't lost at home all season and anything but a win would be a huge blow to their hopes of getting 4th.Line-ups are:

Palermo: Sirigu; Cassani, Kjaer, Bovo, Balzaretti; Migliaccio, Liverani, Nocerino; Pastore; Hernandez, Miccoli

Milan: Dida; Zambrotta, Oddo, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Gattuso, Pirlo, Jankulovski; Seedorf; Huntelaar, Ronaldinho

Get in. Fair play to Inter. If we can beat Parma tomorrow then we are +5 from the drop zone. Milito always scores when we need a team beaten.

That would also mean that you could secure your safety next week against Atalanta. A win for Lazio tomorrow would mean that they are 6 clear of Atalanta and wouldn't necessarily need to win against us next week so might not put up too much of a fight, they wouldn't want to help Roma.

2-0 to Palermo at half-time, Bovo and Hernandez with the goals, neither team have been great and I'm hoping it improves in the 2nd half.

RichTea · 25-04-2010 12:25PM

Roma v Sampdoria tonight (7.45 on ESPN) Probably the last really tough game that the Giallorossi have to play this season so it could very well be crucial.

The 'Tridente' attack of Totti-Vucinic-Toni which failed to impress against Lazio has apparently been dropped in favour of Menez-Vucinic-Totti.
I'm quite looking forward to this one. Forza ROMA!

Nuri Sahin · 25-04-2010 02:39PM

Was watching some of the Milan match last night. Used to have a soft spot for Milan due to Sheva playing for them but it's such a sad state of affairs at the club.

I read that the shareholders meeting a few days ago Baldie said that this year's market will be more 'difficult' than last one(and we all know how much last year's summer was horrible) so apart from a couple of freebies/ cheap ass signings.

Anyways. Really looking forward to Roma v Sampdoria match. Should be a good game and hopefully another win taking us a step closer to the Scudetto.

Very true. Milan have had a torrid time trying to keep whatever star players they have left. We all know how much World Cups affect the transfer market so every star player bought this summer will have an inflated price tag. Difficult times lay ahead for the Rossoneri but also for a lot of the other clubs in Serie A, with the possible exceptions of Internazionale and Juventus, who seem to be preparing for a squad overhaul.

Pinturicchio · 25-04-2010 03:25PM

If Pato is sold this summer Milan will have cemented their status as a selling club. Gourcuff, Kaka, Pato?

Nuri Sahin · 25-04-2010 03:31PM

In fairness the Kaka deal was a smart and sensible decision. He's been fairly average to very poor the last few seasons(since winning the CL in 07

) for the most part + with the silly money offered, Milan were right to cash in. Shame they didn't do it when City wanted him but that was more Kaka not wanting to go wasn't it...

Selling Gourcuff was a bizarre move. While he still is inconsistent, always believed he had the talent to step up and replace Kaka.

dor83 · 25-04-2010 07:42PM

Roma v Samp about to start, I fully expect a Roma win and predict 2-1, but I hope Samp can do us a favor tonight. Line-ups are:

Roma: 27 Julio Sergio; 77 Cassetti, 4 Juan, 29 Burdisso, 17 Riise; 7 Pizarro, 16 De Rossi; 94 Menez, 20 Perrotta, 9 Vucinic; 10 Totti
Roma bench: 1 Lobont, 5 Mexes, 11 Taddei, 33 Brighi, 30 Toni, 19 Baptista, 22 Tonetto

Sampdoria: 30 Storari; 8 Zauri, 28 Gastaldello, 6 Lucchini, 3 Ziegler; 77 Semioli, 17 Palombo, 16 Poli, 18 Guberti; 10 Pazzini, 99 Cassano
Sampdoria bench: 21 Guardalben, 13 Rossi, 22 Cacciatore, 12 Tissone, 20 Padalino, 7 Mannini, 90 Testardi

dor83 · 25-04-2010 08:04PM

Totti makes it 1-0 to Roma, really bad defending from Samp.

Nuri Sahin · 25-04-2010 08:22PM

Doria seem to be off colour till now. Vucinic has been super. Good game so far.

Go Roma!!!!!

RichTea · 25-04-2010 08:40PM

Totti is on fire. Haven't seen him play so well in quite a while. It should certainly be more than 1-0. Hopefully they can hold on.

dor83 · 25-04-2010 08:46PM

Samp have been very poor so far but Roma haven't been great up front and have been very wasteful. Hopefully Samp play better in the 2nd half.

Headshot · 25-04-2010 09:32PM

how samp are winning it is beyond me

looks like it's inters trophy

dor83 · 25-04-2010 09:39PM

Well done Samp, and a very big Thanks, the scudetto is ours to lose now and we owe it to Samp.

RichTea · 25-04-2010 09:39PM

Devastated.

flahavaj · 25-04-2010 09:40PM

Inter back in the driving seat.

As a matter of interest, when's the last time Jose failed to win the league with a team?:eek:

It's not over yet, there are still 3 games left and with our form since Christmas I wouldn't be surprised if we drop points and even if we don't, if you had been told at Christmas you would be 2 points behind witt 3 to play and in the final of the Coppa you would have been very happy with that.

Nuri Sahin · 25-04-2010 09:43PM

Really believed Roma would win the title after last weekend, gutted

Knowing Serie A Lazio will be only too happy to roll over next week. Then it's Chievo and Siena. Done.

It's the hope that kills you.

Last season with Chelski!

Nuri Sahin · 25-04-2010 11:54PM

Anyone else think Miccoli really should be called up the national side>?
It's a farcical situation with Lippi and his retarded decisions.
Been very impressed with Miccoli all season for Palermo.

Likewise Pazzini and Cassano, though obviously it'll have to be a cold day in hell before Lippi brings Cassano back to the Azzurri set up.

Technically he wasn't in charge though, Grant was.;)

Definitely. Cassano should be too of course.

jamsieboy86 · 26-04-2010 01:03AM

Pazzini is a legend. It was brilliant to see Roma so sickened after losing tonight, Inter are definitely going to win the scudetto. Forza Inter.
