The Bunga-bunga derby just kicked off in Milan.

dor83 · 22-10-2022 9:49pm

Some end to Fiorentina v Inter, Jovic equalises in the 90th minute to make it 3-3 but Mkhitaryan is in the right place and deflects a clearance in to make 3-4 to inter in the 95th minute.

ShamoBuc · 22-10-2022 9:50pm

Cracking game. Fiorentina thought they had grabbed a ;oint with a 90th minute equalizer but there was a last second winner - played onto Mikhataryan's foot by the defender trying to clear it and into the goal, 3-4

Mr.Nice Guy · 22-10-2022 11:57pm

Just saw the highlights. That will be tough to top for Serie A game of the season. Wishing now I'd watched it live.

Poxy Inter.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-10-2022 7:32pm

Roma vs Napoli will be interesting. Wonder if Mourinho can figure out a way to stop them.

Can't see it happening without Dybala - he makes them tick and has been a real source of goals too.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-10-2022 8:27pm

Mourinho wanting Ndombele booked for diving. 😂 Wasn't a pen but wasn't a dive either. I think that's a bit of bad blood from the Tottenham days.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-10-2022 9:25pm

OSIMHEN! WHAT A GOAL.

ShamoBuc · 23-10-2022 9:26pm

An absolute cracker - poor by Smalling.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-10-2022 9:41pm

Did Karsdorp just put his hands on the ref after the whistle there? Looked like a shove to me but I'd need to see it again.

Having watched it back, he does touch the ref. Could get a ban for that.

Terrible match but what a goal.

breezy1985 · 23-10-2022 10:31pm

Napoli keep managing to get over the line.

Mr.Nice Guy · 24-10-2022 11:48pm

Nice goal by Armand Lauriente tonight. He was a good player at Lorient and looks a smart bit of business by Sassuolo. I can see bigger clubs looking at him down the line.

Mr.Nice Guy · 30-10-2022 9:23pm

Torino leading Milan. Leao is having a shocker so far.

Miranchuk makes it 2-0!

Pioli takes off Leao and Diaz at half-time. Can't argue with it.

2-1. Game on. Absolute gift from Torino.

Full-time. Milan's first away loss in Serie A since last November. Napoli go 5 points clear.

Mr.Nice Guy · 05-11-2022 6:24pm

Atalanta vs Napoli looking a good contest. 1-1 already after 20 odd minutes. Osimhen's nice header cancelling out Lookman's pen.

Napoli turn it around to lead 2-1. Elmas with the goal but Osimhen made it by bullying Demiral off the ball.

Full-time and a great 2-1 win for Napoli. Really good game. Atalanta will be disappointed not to get something as they had chances, particularly Hojland. Lookman was a big threat.

breezy1985 · 05-11-2022 10:07pm

Maldini just scored against Milan to level the game.

Milan should have put this game to bed by now.

breezy1985 · 05-11-2022 10:15pm

I can't understand why top clubs are not putting big money down on Tonali.

Goal disallowed but great finish all the same.

VAR making an awful fool of itself tonight. Not for the eventual decisions but time and communication.

breezy1985 · 05-11-2022 10:37pm

Giroud scores with a great finish from a cracker of a pass from Tonali.

Rips off his shirt and gets sent off. First yellow was for getting involved in a scuffle.

Smell the glove · 06-11-2022 8:52am

Some atmosphere at San Siro last night. Some great goals. Massive that Milan got the win in the end. Need to stay in touch for when Napoli do their yearly collapse.

dor83 · 06-11-2022 7:51pm

Line-ups for the Derby d'Italia:

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Alex Sandro; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Miretti; Milik

Inter: Onana; Skriniar, De Vrij, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Dzeko, Lautaro Martinez

Both teams need to win but I have a feeling Juve will win tonight.

Fingers crossed for a draw. Keep them both down 😁

Well I'm an Inter fan but I'd probably take a draw right now, it wouldn't be a disaster given we've lost against all the top 8 sides we've played so far this season. Inter don't do draws this season though so my prediction is a Juve win.

breezy1985 · 06-11-2022 9:55pm

Rabiot is Rabiot is Rabiot.

Great finish from the French hunchback to put Juve 1 up.

Mr.Nice Guy · 06-11-2022 11:18pm

Juve's woes have been well documented this season and yet they're above Inter in the table and only 4 off Milan.

Had a look at Roma's highlights and Abraham has picked a bad time to start stinking up the joint. I don't think he merits a place in the England squad on form.

breezy1985 · 08-11-2022 11:49am

Midweek round of Serie A squeezed in tonight before the World Cup. Italian FA obviously not too worried about player burn out before the World Cup.

Napoli vs Empoli 5:30 and Cremonese vs Milan 7:30 are the 2 big televised game.

Also Napoli are statistically already winter champions.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-11-2022 7:18pm

0-0 at half-time. Napoli struggling to create chances.

1-0 (just) thanks to Lozano's penalty. Osimhen won it. Twenty minutes to go.

Empoli down to 10. Napoli loanee Luperto gets a second yellow. Things looking good for Napoli.

2-0. Lovely finish on volley from Zielinski. Job done. Pressure on Milan later.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-11-2022 10:38pm

Milan held to a goalless draw at Cremonese.

Napoli 8 points clear. Starting to feel like this is the season the long wait for the title ends.

breezy1985 · 08-11-2022 10:39pm

Milan fail to break down the parked bus 0-0 and Napoli 8 points clear for now.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-11-2022 6:05pm

Abraham benched for Roma's upcoming match at Sassuolo. Don't think he can have any complaints. Shomurodov gets the nod.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-11-2022 8:09pm

Abraham scores off the bench with a great header. That's the perfect response from him.

1-1. Lead didn't last long. Pinamonti levels for Sassuolo. Great work from Lauriente.

breezy1985 · 09-11-2022 8:32pm

Its starting to look like Napoli vs 6 teams who are going to be more worried about top 4 than the title the way things are going.

dor83 · 10-11-2022 12:23am

Napoli will bottle it after Christmas, in his first season at Inter Spalletti had a great first half of the season, Inter were top at Christmas, but only scrapped 4th on the final day. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens with Napoli this season, I expect Inter and Juve to be a lot better after Christmas too but it might be a bit much for either to win the scudetto especially if they drop points at the weekend, which I expect both to do.

Mr.Nice Guy · 12-11-2022 11:06pm

Scotsman Lewis Ferguson scored a cracker as Bologna beat Sassuolo 3-0.

Napoli gone 11 points clear for the time being after beating Udinese 3-2. Pressure on Lazio and Milan who have tricky games tomorrow.

dor83 · 13-11-2022 12:30pm

Atalanta v Inter about to start, line=ups are:

Atalanta: Musso; Toloi, Demiral, Scalvini; Hateboer, Pasalic, Koopmeiners, Maehle; Ederson; Lookman, Duvan Zapata

Inter: Onana; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Dzeko

Not sure how I expect it to finish, Inter haven't been great away from San Siro this season and have lost against the top teams they've played so Atalanta would probably be the safe bet, but I have a feeling Inter will get something today. Inter to draw for the first time this season maybe?

Mr.Nice Guy · 13-11-2022 10:56pm

Atalanta hit a bad patch the last few games. Good result for Inter. Milan also did well to dig out a result when it looked like they were about to drop points. Didn't see the game but Juve seem to have had a strong night.

An 8 point lead is great for Napoli but the other sides below them don't look like they will go quietly. Big question now is how the break in play affects Napoli when things return.

Agent Coulson · 28-11-2022 10:30pm

The entire Juve board of directors resigned and will no longer be involved in the club.

That's mad. I can only imagine it was got to do with the Super League mess.

No it's got to do with Juventus being investigated for financial irregularities I would imagine.

29-11-2022 1:05am

Huge debts. Alleged dodgy finances during covid. They are screwed.

29-11-2022 9:35am

Some great players to become on the market!!

breezy1985 · 29-11-2022 9:38am

Knock em back down to 29 titles I say 🤣

breezy1985 · 03-12-2022 1:26am

This Juve thing is really blowing up. Investigations including wire tapping. Secret meetings in September with the FIGC and leading Serie A clubs.

Warnings that's the "whole lot will collapse" and Juve the "tip of the iceberg". Not sure I believe the last bit but it's interesting.

adaminho · 16-12-2022 4:17pm

Sad news.

Mr.Nice Guy · 16-12-2022 4:27pm

Very sad to hear that. Quality player, and the way he carried on managing at Bologna despite being ill was inspirational.

breezy1985 · 04-01-2023 3:11pm

Leao and Tonali score early in a 2-1 win away to Salernitana this morning.

Spezia currently 2-0 up against Atalanta.

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-01-2023 11:17pm

Inter inflict Napoli's first Serie A loss of the season. They were the last team in the top 5 leagues to be unbeaten too. Great header by Dzeko to win it. Skriniar was immense and kept Kvaratskhelia very quiet. All the talk before the World Cup break was about whether it would disrupt Napoli's rhythm and they certainly weren't at their best. Need to win at Samp on Sunday or they will be under a lot of pressure going into the Juve game.

breezy1985 · 07-01-2023 11:06pm

Monza grab a very late goal against Inter to level the game.

Smell the glove · 08-01-2023 7:51pm

Samp have been dreadful here. Handy 3 points for Napoli. Over to Milan now. Reckon they will do Roma 2-1.
