We're at the near end of February and they lead Serie A by 4 points. They WON it last year by 4 points.

How exactly does that fit with Europe wrecking them this season?

I accept their record is not as good this season, but it seems clutching at straws to say they're struggling in the league this year because they can't handle Europe.

Last season after 25 games - 13 wins, 12 draws, 0 defeats - 51 points
This season after 25 games - 17 wins, 4 draws, 4 defeats - 55 points

They're actually doing better.

That's not what I meant. You can't compare this season to last season because last season you had two teams fighting for the title all the way (and then lack of europe helped them while we had that and some other issues like insane amount of injuries) while this season no one can challenge them from the start (I don't consider Napoli as a real threat) therefore europe or no europe - doesn't matter this year.

Crazy snowing in Bergamo.

Palermo.

Inter about to close for John Carew.

First Rocchi, now this guy.

He used to be great at Villa, but he wasn't even good in his last season with us, not sure what Inter hope to get from him.

Udinese 0-0 Napoli. Napoli really have to beat Juve to stand any chance, even then it might not be enough.

It won't be enough, Napoli will always find a way to screw it up. They are just not title material.

Another wasted opportunity for us. If we'd won last night, we'd be 5 points from 2nd place.

Radu and Lulic with great goals, Lazio 2-0 in 35 mins hosting Pescara.

They're gonna win, it was obvious before the game even kicked off. we have to beat them ourselves now.

Pescara are easily the weakest side in the league, what matters is what we do this weekend against them. I think if we play like we did in the first half against Inter then we can get the 3 points. But they've always been a bit of a bogey team for us under Allegri.

Have we ever managed to beat them with Max in charge?

And like I've always maintained in regards to Napoli. Juve have no rival for this Scudetto. The minute us and Inter were taken out of the equation it was a done deal

Surely we have beaten them sometime in the past 2 seasons! I think we won one with Zlatan's goal(s) at the Olimpico. I could bee terribly wrong though!

Not his best game today, but been really impressed with Candreva this season.

Draw in the Olimpico and a draw in the San Siro IIRC

Not in Serie A under Max but we have beaten them in Coppa last season 3:1.

Really? not a single Serie A win in 3 seasons? we used to beat them for fun with Carlo. hope we change that trend this weekend, though this is the strongest Lazio in years...

Only Mexes will be suspended for Lazio. Zapata and Montolivo will be regularly on the pitch.

Bologna beat 2-1 Fiorentina today, the winning goal was scored from Christodoulopoulos.

Are you ing cause of the name?

But when the **** did all these Greek players move to Serie A?

Haha, yeah.

New low?...

For Carew.

Napoli-Juve, great first half. 1-1.

Should have been red for Cavani.

Yep. What a stupid thing to do, especially in this kinda game.

That turd Chiellini wasn't making things any easy for him though.

Look at what Chiellini was doing in every setpiece situation though. Pulling his hair like a little girl on the school yard is just ridiculous

The elbow in the face should have come earlier. I really hate subtle cheats like Chiellini

Chiellini is a dirtbag - I hate him as much as the next guy - but getting ejected from the game will only hurt your team.

Agreed, but just before the incident Chiellini was pretty much trying to manhandle him. I thought it would be a red, but Cavani got off easy. Sane decision from the referee.

id expect most players to have the same reaction. chiellini is an optimal ****

Looks like Cassano and Stramaccioni had a fight in the dressing room that deteriorated into physical contact. The other players had to divide them.

I'm so glad we got rid of that ungrateful piece of trash.

!

We should never even have bought that ungrateful piece of trash in the first place.

No, but I thought Galliani was an idiot for handing him over plus 7MM to inter

He still is, Inter were glad to have Cassano and wanted to get rid of Pazzini. Putting them in a similar position to us, 3-4million are acceptable but 7million?Give me a break.

You thought right Cassano didn't cause any problems at Milan (apart from ungratefully wanting out in end). him+7m for Pazzini was the most idiotic thing Galliani did in the last 2-3 seasons. doesn't make ANY sense from a technical pov and doesn't make much sense from an economical pov (unless, you prove me to be wrong).

Selling Ibra for under 13m is by far the dumbest thing this club has ever done.

Yep, still is a huge idiot for that one.

At least go for a straight swap not pay 7m plus hand over a superior player to a direct rival for a CL place.

Even if Cassano runs the wrong way and delibarately scores an own goal for Inter, it was still a terrible and idiotic move from every financial and business stand point you can think of

This summer was just FILLED with brain farth moments from the impeccable Galliani

You think very highly of Cassano it seems

Cassano told Milan he wants to leave when the squad got decimated ... Roma, Madrid, heck even Samp cut him off for free. Only Roma made money out of it all

The fact is, Inter wanted him. They DID NOT want Pazzini simple as that. No reason why WE should have been the ones paying 7m when Cassano is a superior player to Pazzini

Like I said, at least make it a straight swap, not give Inter 7m

Superior in fucking up every dressing room he walks into, even Italia isn't depending on him anymore.

Only good thing out of this whole 'Cassano + 7MM = Pazzini' equation is that Cassano is playing for inter and giving them more merda on top of merda

Naah, come on, we've discussed this thing a million times by now.

At least there's a player at Inter/Italy I hate passionately. I was deprived of this privilege for quite some time.
