Higuain at least is living up to his price tag.

Juve are no mugs in the transfer market

I feel like a broken record but it's really sad to see the state of Milan these days

Headshot

oh wow I could of spoke to soon

edit

soccer is just a bizarre sport.

Just crazy tbh

Amazing match for Milan, the makings of a good team. Good 3 points for Roma also, inter are so hot and cold!

chopperbyrne

The first half of Roma v Inter could have been 5-3 if chances were taken.

It was like a basketball match.

de Boer is in big trouble now

Jelle1880

Inter really are a mess at the moment.

Now there's also Icardi who is likely to be stripped from the captaincy after releasing a book that pissed off the ultras, who say he lied about something from 2015.

"You use a child to justify yourself and fling mud at us... You’re not a man... You’re not a Captain... You are just a vile piece of ****”

And as if that wasn't all, he told reporters he'll bring over 100 criminals from Argentina to have them all killed :pac:

Amirani

Yeah, you'd imagine De Boer's days have to be numbered now.

Headshot

I wasn't aware of that Icardi stuff. Looks like he's trying to engineer a move away from Inter

Jelle1880

Seems like from 2018 the 3pm games will no longer be broadcasted, in an attempt to boost attendances.

Ridiculous move for those abroad or who don't live close to their club.
Seems they want to emulate the English model, not realizing the differences in fan culture.

chopperbyrne

TV rights will still be sold abroad surely?

It'll be just like England with no live football allowed to be broadcast between 15:00 and 17:30.

Galliani celebrated that disallowed goal like a win.

DerekDGoldfish

What a goal by locattelli, big result if Milan can hold out.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Great win for Milan, they look a hell of a lot better than the complete shambles they've been for the last few years hopefully they have some sense and stick with Montella for a good while and give him a proper chance to build something.

ERG89

Fantastic goal by the 18 year old (again) and save by the 17 year old(again) to keep out Khedira. Big win but my feet are planted.

ERG89

Napoli have started well. Milik is missed though. Juve still look like they need Marchisio in the team, Hernanes hasn't played well since he was at Lazio so I don't see what Allegri sees

ironingbored

What a finish from Bonucci!!!

ironingbored

All level in Turin as Callejon equalises after a lovely ball through from Insigne. End to end stuff in the second half. Allegri needs to get Hernanes off and Marchisio on.

ironingbored

El Pipita!!!!!!!!!!! Higuain gives Juve the lead against his old club.

ERG89

Napoli don't help themselves as usual, didn't think Juve played well but it won't matter this term as Roma or Napoli won't challenge them. Terrible subs by Sarri to go for an equaliser but I'm sure he will blame someone else.

Corholio

Mad game at Samp today. 2-0 down after 84 minutes and won 3-2, 3 goals in 6 minutes. Bit of breathing space in mid table now.

What a brilliant game so far

Very enjoyable

chopperbyrne

Milan v Inter has been brilliant so far.

Nothing but fast paced, direct football and three really good goals.

Wow! Breathless finish!

Agent Coulson

A great derby.

Jelle1880

Inter 3-1 up against 10 man Fiorentina, then caught on the counter and now 3-2. Surely they won't throw this away ?

Headshot

bloody hell what a game

unreal

Jelle1880

Joao Mario, lolza

What a miss.

Jelle1880

Icardi finishes it, 4-2.

Headshot

The ref has been awful thou.

Really really bad

Jelle1880

I was quite impressed with Fiorentina, at times it looked like Inter were the team a man down.

Headshot

This should be really good

ERG89

Niang misses another penalty....... -_-

Dirty Dingus McGee

Great goal from Naingollan.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Big game tonight on BT sport.It'd be great if Roma could get a win against Juve and close the gap to 1 point.

ERG89

Milan vs Atalanta has been entertaining. Bertolacci has been poor, as he has been for 18 months. Bonaventura is wasted in a front 3 in front of such a weak midfield.

fuzzydunlop85

Juve Roma on BT sport ?

yup

Buffon's moustache is so unlike him. It's quite..bad isn't it?

HalloweenJack

Napoli aleady 2-0 up against Torino, just 18 minutes gone.

HalloweenJack

3-0 now.

Crazy game!

Hart mustn't be having a great time of it in serie A??

He's doing pretty well actually. Torino in the top half so far is good.

HalloweenJack

Haven't seen much of him but saw the game today and, despite conceding five goals, I don't feel like he was really at fault for any of them. A pen, a cracker, a few where the team was torn apart and one where he made a decent save only for the ball to land at the feet of Mertens.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Just browsing through wikipedia tonight and just saw that Gianluigi Buffon has 167 caps for Italy.

Unbelievable achievement and you'd give him a decent chance of getting to 200 caps.

They miss Maksimovic and Glik but have been doing well. Hart had no chance with any goal that last goal was filthy.
Gutted Milan have lost 3rd before Christmas but we aren't going to push for it in the market so it won't matter in the long run.

Headshot

Should be a really good match tonight I reckon

I fancy Lazio to win

Jelle1880

How to give a game away in 2 minutes.

He's retiring after the WC in 2018 so he has a chance alright.
