Serie A Superthread

And we were being told Milan was rising again as a football power.

A power in Italy maybe. Pundits were massively overblowing the significance of them being back in Europe.

Milan 2 behind at home after 20mins

Gone from title contenders to out of the top 4 and Coppa in a month.

Wow 4-1. Was expecting a reaction from Milan.

There's an edge to this game. Wouldn't be surprised if we get a red card before long.

Next weeks the derby. Pioli will be gone if they are this bad again.

Milan would have to be at their absolute best to beat any English side. Even an average Spurs will decimate this Milan.

Napoli unreal, delighted for them that they'll finally win it. It's been coming for years.

As I said many times last year about Milan, the weight of history carried them. There was a desperation to level the title count with Inter, had the bit between their teeth. But a limited side really, and that urgency is gone.

Need Champions League badly, if they miss that money could go back to where they were for the last decade. Mourinho should of went to Milan, would of been the perfect fit

Destroying it.

Napoli just gone 2 up.

16pts clear.

Great to see a fantastic footballing side get their rewards.

Would love to see them do the CL double too.

I wouldn't be surprised if he stays, he'll be a god to the Napoli fans and there's potential in that side to win in Europe too.

They are pitiful to watch tonight.

Can see them giving Spurs too many problems.

Don't deserve it playing like that.

If the San Siro on European night can't prompt you into action you may aswell pack it in. Absolute colosseum, baying for blood it feels like. Fans right on top of you. I remember being there and warnings that if you've vertigo don't go onto the 3rd tier. Think only the Mestalla is steeper

Spurs turned them over circa 2011, they'll do them comfortably in London. But there should be a huge performance in Milan. You'd think anyway

Another shockingly unconfident first half from Milan tonight.

At least it is still 0-0

I said a while back that Spurs would have no problems with this current Milan team.

Watched Spurs today. Think it could be an even enough game now!

Delighted to see Lecce hold on against Roma. That 4th place spot still wide open.

15 point gap for Napoli now.

It will be some set of parties of Napoli get 5 games to celebrate the title.

Big night for Milan. In dreadful form but playing another team in the same boat. Think playing in the San Siro first leg suits them better, they'd lose in London and be chasing a 3 goal lead probably in Milan, over compensating on the attack to catch up and getting caught on the break.

This way, with the away goal gone, the pressure is off slightly and with the stadium behind them, might be able to get a win and a lead to hold onto in London.

Either way, it's finally time for them to prove their worth in Europe. Of Europe's traditional big 5, they've had to watch Liverpool, Real and Bayern win over the last 15 years, and even see Ajax competitive again. Their fans deserve better than watching the 15 year slump they've had to endure, bar a slight reprive circa 2011.

Not good enough for a club like Milan, they're out of excuses at this stage. They need a huge performance tonight

Impressed with Brahim Diaz. Seen him last year a few times and he was hot and cold as a playmaker, great to see him step up to the mark. When he's on song, Milan are generally firing, he links it. Needs consistency. Struggle when he's not on his game. He's the fulcrum really.

Hopefully he gets a permanent move to Milan, he wants it, but Madrid refuse to sign off he's such a talent. He's bought into the Milan philosophy though, he's Milan through and through now I think. They've started to build a team around him, disaster if he left. Milan's shining light. After Reus, the most gifted playmaker active

He is far more miss than hit though.

If De Ketelaere had hit the ground running Diaz wouldn't have been in the plans as a starter this season.

Last night was possibly the best he ever played. He was popping up all over the pitch attacking the ball.

Speaking of Samp RTE had a documentary about Brady's time in Italy on Monday.

Some nice old Serie A footage in it.

Loved Brady hanging out of the railings in front of the fans.

I really never thought he would be that animated.
