Brilliant that Inter won, we only need Lazio to do us a favour on Sunday and the league is in our own hands. If we are top come Sunday night then we will be champions, Forza Inter!

8-10

For those who missed it....

Anyone know what the attendance was for this game? Upper tier looked to be only half full. Poor turnout given the importance of the game.

San Siro looked pretty dead.

What a goal by Maicon though. Class.

30,000 empty seats I heard.

So that puts attendance at around 50,000

There were restrictions for the match last night which only allowed season ticket holders and Inter Tessera del Tifoso card holders(kind of like a fans registration card that also works as a pre-paid MasterCard), so ticket didn't go on general sale.

Results from this afternoons games

Atalanta 2 : 1 Fiorentina
Bari 1 : 2 Napoli
Cagliari 2 : 2 Palermo
Catania 2 : 2 Siena
Parma 2 : 3 Genoa
Sampdoria 2 : 1 AC Milan
Udinese 1 : 1 Bologna

Rome derby kick off in about 10mins, line-ups are:
Lazio: Muslera; Dias, Stendardo, Radu; Lichtsteiner, Brocchi, Ledesma, Mauri, Kolarov; Floccari, Rocchi
Lazio bench: Berni, Biava, Diakite, Zarate, Firmani, Baronio, Cruz

Roma: Julio Sergio; Cassetti, Burdisso, Juan, Riise; Perrotta, Pizarro, De Rossi; Toni, Totti, Vucinic
Roma bench: Doni, Mexes, Menez, Taddei, Tonetto, Brighi, Baptista

Atalantas win earlier means that Lazio are only 3 points from relegation at the moment so they could really do with the points, and Roma need a win to go back top, should be a very good game. ESPN will be showing the 2nd half live but not the 1st half, bet365 is probably the best place for the first half.

SantryRed

Great start to the second half. Both teams getting a penalty each. Lazio missed, Roma scored. 1-1 now.

Pinturicchio

Any chance Juve had of finishing fourth evaporated today IMO with Samp beating Milan.

Some start to the second half. Ranieri took off Totti and De Rossi at half time with Lazio 1-0 up. Lazio then got a penaty within a minute of the restart, missed it, and now Roma have equalised from the spot.

Atmosphere sounds incredible!

dor83

yeah, looks like it could go either way now, I expect a few more goals.

dor83

Great free kick from Vucinic, 2-1 Roma. Come on Lazio.

Nuri Sahin

Dominazione

Fantastic result. Thank you Vucinic

dor83

Well done Roma, league is theirs to lose and I can't see that happening now, they deserve the league anyway after the amount of points we have dropped since christmas.

chopperbyrne

Always liked Roma and keep an eye on their results. Didn't get to see the match today, but delighted with the result and hopefully they'll see out the league now.

RichTea

Grazie Roma!

Thought Ranieri was mad with his half-time substitutions but one of the two would have been sent off for sure anyway. Spilled a litre of water celebrating Mirko's belter.

The Scudetto is coming!

Good to see Roma winning, hope they can hold out now.:D

RichTea

A quick look at the remaining fixtures.

AS Roma

Sampdoria (H)
Parma (A)
Cagliari (H)
Chievo Verona (A)


Internazionale

Atalanta (H)
Lazio (A)
Chievo Verona (H)
Siena (A)

I think Roma have the tougher run in. If they successfully beat Sampdoria and Parma then I think it'll be done. Who knows, maybe Lazio might lend a hand.

It was certainly not good to see. Hope they slip up big time and Inter win it easy, Forza Inter.

We'll have to see. I don't think it's over by any means yet. Inter have the easier run in IMO

Yeah but Roma are in much better form and we'll also be distracted by the CL games against Barca, I hope we can do it but I said on Friday that I thought whoever was top tonight would win the scudetto and that hasn't changed.

Pinturicchio

I think Inter will end up winning the league by one point. I can see them winning all of their remaining matches, while I think Roma will drop points against Samp and win the last three games.

Seaneh

I actully think that besides Samp, Roma have it easier. Lazio are still hurting and will be trying to win for pride and safety against Inter, Sienna and atalanta are fighting for safety too where as Calgari, Parma and Cheivo are all pretty much safe and have nothing to play for.

Much tougher run in for Inter imho.

Pinturicchio

The sections of Juve's new stadium will be named after former players.

Apparently Buffon, Del Piero, Trezeguet and Camoranesi could all play in a stadium that has a section named after them!

No Brady. Bad form.

Mr. Presentable

Maybe. Did any of the other listed play fewer games for Juventus than Brady?

Wikipedia says he played 76 times.

Ah, if it goes by appearance then that's alright. My friends in Turin say that Brady is a bit of a legend over there still.

They should name the toilets after Ronnie O'Brien

Would that be down to the fact that they stuck with the club when they were relegated? Given that there are far "greater" players that the likes of Trez to play for the club?(the likes of Platini and Brady spring to mind).

I bet none of them ever do, though.

Partly, but not totally. They have all given great service to the club.

Platini is already on the list. And Trez is the club's all time top foreign goalscorer and one of the all time top goalscorers over all. There aren't many greater than him.

You think none of them will still be at Juve next season?

It'd be sad to see Alessa go. The word is so horribly, disgustingly overused now but the only word I can summon to describe him is legend.

The word is overused but Del Piero is one of those who really deserves it.

I hope he stays for at least one more season, when hopefully the team around him won't be so useless.

Anyone know the extent of Maicon's injury last night?

Buffon to Milan
Trez to Lyon or Milan
Del P to MSL
Camoranesi to West Ham

I think there's a good chance none will be at Juventus next year. There's a lot of dead wood to be cleared and Buffon could bring in some much needed cash, plus be relatively easy to replace given his injury-ridden contribution this year.

I'm sorry but those are ridiculous. Especially Camoranesi to a potentially relegated West Ham.

Trez to Milan is a massive possibility. His agent has said it a few times.

Sorry, what? Replace with who? He's still the best goalkeeper in the world. If we were to sign someone like Marchetti or Lloris they wouldn't be as good and would use up most of what we'd get for Buffon because they're younger and their clubs value them highly.

Mr. Presentable

RichTea wrote: »

Yeah, maybe

Camoranesi will surely go somewhere. Buffon would have been a Milan player four years ago had the sh1t not hit the fan for them also when Juventus were relegated. I think he could go this year. 23 league appearances last year, 21 this. I'm a big fan, but if the right offer came in I'd let him go, and it could be Milan.

There's a slim chance of "the right offer" coming from Milan!

Dave147

Anyone like to hazard a guess as to why AC Milan are 13-5 to beat Palermo away tomorrow night? Are they missing some key players or something, have 20 euro freebet was going to use it in an accumulator with Utd to beat Spurs and City to beat Arsenal at the weekend.

Mr. Presentable

dor83

I probably has a lot to do with the fact that Palermo haven't lost at home all season.

Seaneh

And Milan have 5 CB's out either injured and suspended.

wouldn't be surprised to see albertazzi in the squad if not starting with Thiago Silva. if not Oddo will play CB.
