Good job inter are in even worse form than spurs. Only a draw can avoid crisis at one of the clubs ...

Some goal this

Check out @ElevenSports_UK’s Tweet:

Yup, Zaniolo is quality. Inter were dumb as fuck swapping him plus 24 mil for Nainggolan (who has already been suspended and might well sell in Jan). Was mentioningning this kid in another thread. He will become a huge star.

Not a good night for Italian football.....


An Italian football supporter has died of his injuries after being knocked down by a van amid violence ahead of a match in Milan against Napoli.

The 35 year-old man, who was with a group of Inter Milan fans, was taken to hospital in the northern city on Wednesday evening but died in hospital.

The clashes took place not far from Milan's San Siro stadium before a Serie A game.

Four Napoli fans were hurt and one of them was stabbed, police said.

And this...

Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti said his team asked three times for their match at Inter Milan to be suspended because of alleged racist chanting, before a last-minute goal gave Inter victory.

Ancelotti claimed Kalidou Koulibaly was targeted at the San Siro, where the Senegal defender was sent off.

Lautaro Martinez scored a 91st-minute winner for Inter, before Napoli also saw forward Lorenzo Insigne dismissed.

"The next time we'll stop playing, even if we lose the match," Ancelotti said.

"What happened today is not good not only for us but also for Italian football as a whole," the former Chelsea boss added.

"I'm very sorry about what happened to Koulibaly. The boy was on edge, he is an educated footballer who was targeted. Despite our requests the match was not interrupted. I'm unhappy because three times we asked for the match to be suspended."

Koulibaly, 27, was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in a matter of seconds in the 80th minute. The first was for a foul on Matteo Politano, the second was for sarcastically applauding the referee's decision.

After the match he posted on Twitter: "I'm sorry about the defeat and especially to have let my brothers down.

"But I'm proud of the colour of my skin. To be French, Senegalese, Neapolitan, and a man."

Great goal by Zaniolo but what a disgrace Italian football is. Truly disturbing, it’s like English football in the 70s

FORZA MILAN!

San Siro is packed ahead of derby della madonnina

AC Milan has really found their form and with new signing Piatek, they’re favorites tonight

Looks like some Juventus players are getting racial abuse against Cagliari.

It's amazing how Bonucci can watch his teammate get abused and come to the conclusion that the blame is 50/50.

Idiot.

Did you hear what his manager said?

It's fucking unbelievable.

Bonucci is a total dickhead. Racist apologist fuckwit. So easy to attribute blame like that when he’d never have to experience the same sort of abuse himself. Narrow-minded, thick ****.

It's worse when the manager says the same thing and then has the cheek to blame the authorities for not caring enough to do something about it.

What's he said like?

Massimiliano Allegri also criticised Kean for the manner of his celebration before condemning the crowd for their actions.

“He shouldn’t have celebrated in that manner,” Allegri said.

“He is a young man and he has to learn, but certain things from the crowd also shouldn’t be heard.”

“You need great intelligence to deal with these situations and should not go to provoke people. That, of course, does not mean the idiots in the crowd and the way they reacted should be justified,” the Juventus boss said.

I loved Paulo Bandini's rant on the latest Football Weekly podcast.

There was also good discussions on the latest Golazzo and BBC Football Daily (Euro version) podcasts.
