Couldn't find a thread for this season, so here it is. Guessing @Syn_13 pretty happy right now, I actually thought Juve may not have it all there own way this year but so far it seems like business as usual. Had a punt on Inter before the start of the season, but looks like it might take FDB longer to turn the ship around.

On a side note, a couple of SCers scoffed at my suggestion that we could do worse than pick up Dzeko in the summer, as I argued he was much better than the mare of a season he had last year and we could probably get him on the cheap, he's on fucking fire right now, looking like the old Bundesliga Dzeko that everyone coveted.

Such a shame he wasted a big chunk of his career as a cheerleader at City.

I don't want to talk about Serie A. Crap league*, crap teams*, corrupt system*, crap entertainment*.
*Opinion may change without notice if Fiorentina starts showing up.

At least the Sardinian side of my family are happy again.

BAU so far. Glad Dybala's picked things back up in the last couple of weeks.

Glad Inter are struggling. Thought they'd do really well this season. I think they'll pick up as the season goes on. Can see Napoli dropping out over the next couple of weeks. Losing Milik has been a blow.

Donnarumma is going to be the #1 keeper in the world in a close future. The kid is 17 and has 14 clean sheets in his 39 appearances in Serie A.

Big win for Juve. Absolutely chuffed with that, Napoli were a right handful. Great to see Higuain get the winner. Mandzukic had a good game too, really worked hard.

Allegri still making some stupid fucking picks though. If Marchisio is fit, play him. Hernanes just isn't working out and will be gone in Jan. Cuadrado should be playing too, he always makes something happen and works bloody hard at times. I'm still not convinced with Alex Sandro either. He's getting better but his passing/decision making is terrible at times. Evra is still the better player.

Milan derby at the weekend should be a cracker hopefully. Remember fondly being on the Curva Sud for this one back in the day..

Watching Roma v Milan right now, Milan been impressive, generally bossing the game with a very young team. Their 433 tactically getting the better of Roma's 4231, largely down to their superior collective cohesion.

No one has watched the Derby della Molle (Torino-Juventus) yesterday?
It was a very well played match. Ljajic Belotti Iago Falque vs Cuadrado Mandzukic (Dybala) Higuain

Milan v Roma is a boring match... 2 teams who think first of all to defend. Niang misses the second penalty in a week

I'm a Juventus fan... The match was balanced... Referee's yellow card decisions were a bit controversial. Torino played a good match, but the Juventus' stars were too stronger for Torino's defense...

I would like to highlight the first part of Pjanic's season... 7 goals and 7 assists in 15 games... WHAT A PLAYER! :cool:

Yeah, always liked Pjanic. I assumed you might be a Torino fan based on your comments about Conte being a lucky manager.

He's always impressed me to be honest, Juve, Italy and now Chelsea, the guy seems to be bloody good at getting the best out of his teams.

No, i'm not a Torino fan. I hate Conte because of his behavior at Juventus. He left Juve when we were doing the summer preparation because "we can't eat in a 100€ restaurant with 10€"... The same year Juve reached the CL final 12 years later the last time...

In the famous "102 points season" Conte made turnover in the Europa League semifinal and he sided the best 11 3 days after that match against Sassuolo...

We call him "provinciale" (a manager that thinks to win only the national trophies)
