Have to admit, they're holding on for longer than I thought they would. Imo, their performances imo have to be largely attributed to Conte, who has turned a 7th place average team into table toppers. Just the determination the Juve players show every week, and then I sometimes watch our team come out and most of them barely want to run...

I really don't get why you seem so biased when it comes to Juventus.

First spot tomorrow!

Hmmm, 9 Serie A games tomorrow. There's an early game (Genoa-Lazio), but no late game. Seems strange, unless livescore has the time wrong for 1 of them.

The weather?

You know it's get colder later on the day.

*it gets colder.

Your safe,policecop isn't online.

Who of you guys are still confident we win the league?

I'm getting worried. Think Juventus may instead...

Oh ****!We're busted.

It's only 4 points difference (if Juve wins at Parma) and they still have to play at San Siro. If we can recover Boateng and Aqui relatively quickly, and not lose points in the next two games (vs Napoli and Udinese) - I like our chances. We don't have enough quality depth in our midfield without them. Even our brought backup (Merkel) is out injured.

That's a big if.

Napoli, Udinese and Juventus, tougher than that it won't get. This are exactly the games I am worried about. Now with Boateng and Aquilani out, I don't see us beating Napoli tomorrow. Udinese will be tough too, and Juventus same.

Palermo close on €200m Arab investment
By Football Italia staff

Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini has announced he is working towards Arab investment, including “€200m for players and a new stadium.”

The patron had stated he was looking into selling shares of the club to new investors in the Middle East and held a press conference today.

“Some friends have invited me to Dubai, as they are doing some business operations in our country that requires foreign capital,” explained Zamparini.

“I found people who are very similar to the Sicilians, who give more importance to heart and sentiments than anything else. I talked to them about Palermo’s football and I hope they’ll want to enter this world.”

Ama Group member Ahmub Zubeidi was also at the press conference and spoke about their plans.

“The objective is to bring business worth millions over the next five years. The second is to find investors for Palermo so within three years we can bring substantial help to win the Scudetto.

“There will be investments on Palermo worth €100m-€200m for players and a new stadium over three years.

“On March 15 we should be ready to lay out a three to five year plan so we can begin talks with potential investors.”

Well,predictable matches are lame anyway!right?

...and it's winter...and Ibra goes into hibernation come winter. Max boy..max boy...whatcho gonna do? Whatcho gonna do when Ibra won't score for you?

I hate to say this, but this would be great for Serie A's infrastructure if they get a stadium...

Clubs are not allowed to build their own stadium??

I don't think this time Ibra will go AWOL,he's in great form.

I said either he gets suspensions or his form drops.

See my point now, willie?

So Juve-Siena, Milan-Napoli. Are people saying they wouldn't have accepted the gap between us and Juve being the same come the end of the weekend?

Given how our match unfolded. No one is happy since Napoli were more than beatable.

That being said, before the match took place, most of us expected to lose points or manage a slim win, everyone expected Juve to win their game easily, so all in all, I think everyone has conflicting emotions over the result.

I just don't understand Ibra. He was finally getting into the game, seeing a lot more of the ball, creating chances, etc. And then he goes and does that.

Yes we were harshly punished seeing as Aronica did the exact same thing to Nocerino. But still he should be mature enough not to put himself in such ridiculous situations, if Aronica wants to hit out at one of our players, let him. In fact fall to the ground screaming or go shout your head off at the assistant ref like the Napoli players did. But do not lash out and get yourself sent off to give the opposing team a huge advantage when we were doing so great and would have probably scored had he stayed on the pitch.

I don't know if you guys realize or not but not everyone is wired the same. Everyone first instinct is not to go down in the heat of battle and wait for the ref to step in. Now before you say I'm some how condoning violence, read what I just said again, without trying to further interpret my words for hidden meanings.

Zlatan is not one to ever dive and fake, instead his intentions are usually to get even, now while this may not play to his advantage it sometimes does, as he doesn't break character at all, and this is partly why he is feared by so many of his opponents.

His slap could barely be labelled one in a 'serious fight' but despite that it probably wasn't the best decision given the likely outcome of suspension from upcoming games, but moments like these are understandable for me as to how it happened, especially for a player who is protective of his team-mates as Ibra is.

I'm not talking about violence or faking here.

But come on, he's a seasoned professional! He knows what the team's current situation is, and he knew that should he be seen doing what he did he would get sent off and let everyone down. If you don't want to play act than fine don't. But don't do stupid sh!t. He wasn't even the one involved in the confrontation. It's not like Aronica was grabbing him around the neck.

We saw this attitude from Ibra last season, and during the time that the team needs him the most he tends to let everyone down. Getting suspended for 3 games during the most crucial point of our season for doing what he did is nothing but stupidity

not but not everyone is wired the same

Having responded to your points raised with those of my previous post. I am going to agree that Ibra's actions surely were not worth it.
