Lazio Forever - International S.S Lazio Fans Forum - www.lazioforever.com

Just watched a fair bit of the fiorentina vs. reggina match. I was so rooting for reggina, a hopeless team this year to win to throw fiorentina off.  Reggina ended up being down 10 men and still came on strong against fiorentina who's first goal by Pazzini wa a penalty. I thought they were going to tie it up until Gilardino came on to score two goals and make the score 3-0.

Gila is now tied for the top scorer spot with Zarate. Lets all hope Mauro scores a couple tommorow!!!

FORZA LAZIO! 00 00

I just finished watching the first half of Napoli dominating Juve. Juve just isn't living up to its name of being a usual powerhouse. They look sloppy and wreckless. Hamsik and Lavezzi are two dangerous players we need to look out for next week, i've seen lavezzi dance around juve's defense.

On a side note:

I find Lavezzi to remind me of Actor Justin Long:

(http://www.newcelebwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/justin-long.jpg)(http://www.derf.com.ar/imgnoticias/150543_2062007_Ezequiel%20Lavezzi%201.jpg)

And Manninger to look like Talk Show Host Conan O'brien:

(http://bostonist.com/attachments/boston_caroline/110807-conan-o-brien.JPG)(http://users.arsenalfc.net/bissell/images/players/manninger.jpg)

Most of you probably don't know who conan or justin long is and the photos aren't the best... maybe they just all share the same lame ass hair dues ... or maybe it's just me.

Seeing Juve crumble to Napoli was great to see especially now that juve is in the bottom 10 with only 9 points. Napoli is going to be a scary team to play next week. Both players I mentioned before (Hamsik and Lavezzi) are the ones that scored both goals in the second half. Napoli now has 14 points topping the table. We need to stick them where they belong tommorow .. below us.

DAJE LAZIO!

Watching Juve - Torino right, its 0-0. I have to say Juventus sucks this year. They definately do not deserve a CL spot this year.

Juve ended up winning 1-0. They really didn't challenge Torino at all. I thought Torino played better to be honest but unluck at the front. Rosina is a very talented player who created so many chances. So glad we got rid of bianchi now. That guy lost his touch.

Saw this goal on the weekend and I thought it was classless for Gila to celebrate. The hand of gila has been punished to miss two matches. That should be ample time for Zarate to surpass him in scoring again. Heres the clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/dcdyN7rKuMM

The serie A is getting strict.
But what is the need for suspending gila whan the goal stands and cannot be cancelled.
It will not discourage others, it it will allow them commit such and face the punishment.

If I'm a Juve fan I would cringe every time I saw Legrottaglie in the lineup....and to think they tried to send him to us!!!!

The merde are down 1-0 form a beautiful delpiero free kick. This weekend my but rioma in clear relegation zone. Would be a perfect season if we made europe and they got relegated.

Or if we beat them to ensure their relegation!!  bigrin 00
Might miss the derby though....if I'm honest.

Juventus dented roma the more.
Spalleti will be fired on november 17.

Playing the derby against city rival on he bottom and without a coach. Someone up there make my wishes come true.  stend1900 iscarf2

Just watched a bit of Bologna vs. Torino. Torino really got their asses handed to them 5-2. DiVaio topped the capocannoniere list with 12 goals scoring a hatrick today. Wow, I'm really thinking we should have pursued him as a striker when he was interested in coming back. Zarate and Pandev combined have 12 goals... hopefully Zarate can start finding the net again.

Mudyingai looked great. I really think we should have kept him. Sinisa Mihajlovic is now Bolognas coach. Hmmm .. maybe we should have got him instead of predictable Rossi. If we lose tommorow I really hope a plan for getting a new coach starts.

Napoli just steamrolled Lecce who we lost to and this is not looking good for our team. They now have 30 points and in CL position while we sit at 23 .. possibly 26 if we win tommorow. This is truely sad for two reasons. 1. I hate Napoli and 2. They just came into serie a last year and already have outperformed us in almost two seasons.

Although I'm a hardcore Lazio fan , surley we should all cheer on Siena this weekend. New life would be breathed into the title race which is important to the league from an entertainment perspective. I know were all be cheering on Catania who I think will stop  iconstenrioma winning streak. My predictions...
Atalanta v Juve  away win
Cagliari v Reggina Home win
Catania v Roma Draw
Chievo v Genoa Draw
Lecce v Bologna away win
Milan v Udinese Home win
Sampdoria v Fiorentina Draw
Siena v Inter Draw
Torino v Napoli away win

Not sure what the home and away games are but heres my picks:

Juve Tie
Reggina Win
Catania Win
Genoa Win
Lecce Tie
Udinese Tie
Fiorentina Win
Inter Win
Napoli Win

This is really a guessing game but I'll come back sunday to see how close I was. Not a bad Idea to have a predictions thread... what do you guys think ? As long as we don't bet on Lazio!

I'm watching the juve game but have my eye on other games... so far things are looking good as genoa is still in a 0-0 tie, napoli as well 0-0 and roma are losing to catania 2-0. Hopefully this weekend will see us at a 4 point lead on roma, even with genoa and within 3 points of napoli provided they lose.

Im watching the Juve game to, looks like that ones all over at 0 - 2 which is good as Atalanta arnt that far behind us. Keeping an eye on Samp v Fiorentina which could still go either way. Cassano did hit the woodwork with a great effort. Good to see Roma loosing. Napoli are without Hamsik and Lavezzi so they may struggle to win that one.  pyro

Genoa won .. but aside from that the other two games worked out well putting us 4 points ahead of the merde and napoli losing keeping them within distance.

Im curious to know what happened at the end of the roma game .. i saw Zenga losing it and players holding him back. Anyone know ?

I watched that game on Tv. Very big tension on the pitch. At the end of the game Zenga was trying to get some justice with Merda players (who was literally killing Catania players) and too many duels between the players. 10 yellow cards, that shows everything. I think there was something at the tunnel, maybe fight or the supporters maybe trowing something I don't really know.

riomaneesters are complaining all over that Catania was wasting time and even saying that the ballboys were holding on to the ball. They are a bunch of losers plain and simple - Catania laid a beating on them and deserved to win the game hands down. Anyway, who cares what happens to them? Napoli losing and hopefully an Udinese loss will help us out a lot. Now we have to worry about winning some games, or else it won't matter a bit.

OMG, Milan 5:1 Udinese!
And it's not over ieek

Yeah Udinese is getting their asses handed to them .. I think they have to be in the most depressing point. How do you go from being #1 to winless in 7 ??? brutal. Still time left ... for probably more goals from milan .. how humiliating

i remember, years ago we beated udinese 5:0 bigrin
Do you remember too?

I think cesar scored 3 times!?

Been watching most of that game, Udinese are in a complete free fall.  Never saw what was that great about the team to begin with.  Good that Milan is winning as we are more in competition with Udinese. 

That first 18 minutes by Milan was some superb football. Kaka's second goal is worth seeing if you havent already, as is his first but thats got more to do with the run of Pato i-beer

I can't believe inter tied Cagliari. I watched the game and have to say Jeda is one impressive player. It was a real back and forth match. Funny how Mourinho says they lost because they were missing key players .. has he not realized the payroll and credibility of inters second/third string team is still worth a lot more than cagliari's ???

Genoa gained more ground on us today. Hopefully Napoli loses and we win to put us back into the race with them.

To be fair to Genoa they proved to me last night they are more than just Diego Milito. Jankovic, Sculli and Thiago Motta are excellent players also and I think they are not far behind being as good as Napoli in my opinion. I watched the inter game also and I think Cagliari deserved to win that one its a great result for the league competitive nature as a whole though. I think though we are in for a battle against Roma, Fiorentina, Genoa and Napoli for that final champions league spot.

I agree with you bro. At the beginning of the season, I thought that we can finish season in first four because of merda's performance, but Napoli ,Fiorentina nad Genoa have been playing impressive. We have to play better than we did in first half of the season. Champions Leauge means more money which mean enough money for quality players and also it increases our popularity on the world. I hope we can finish he season in front of them.

Forza Lazio

Qaulifying for the Champions League or the Uefa Cup would be an excellent result after last season...i get tired of watching the merda travel around Europe playing excellent teams while we fail to qaulify..
Let's hope this is our year! Forza Lazio!

 06 02

 "get tired of watching the merda travel around Europe playing excellent teams "

Except when they get beaten 7-1  i-beer  iconstenrioma

CL is very important, A uefa spot is great for the club but will not boost the club's image much or bring in alot of money.  Most teams in UEFA don't really focus much on the competition and concentrate on the domestic league which is good in a way if you really want a trophy. 

The 4th CL spot will be out of reach only if nothing is done to boost the mid-field in the mercato.  Fiorentina, Genoa and Napoli have done very well utilizing quality players that don't have superstar status and salary.  What's amazing is how fast Napoli and Genoa have gone from low Serie B teams into first rate contenders for Serie A.

We are trying to follow the same path but have not had the luck in getting the skillful midfielders.

Fiorentina lost today against Lecce which is unbelievable. Juve will be another test they are motivated with the Inter's draw now so they are back in contention for the scudetto.  That game will either be great or a disaster.   

I'm watching the milan - merde game right now.. if your looking for a link this one is great and you can harass merde fans at the same time ..lol

http://www.mogulus.com/ev1

the merde is the preferred result in my opinion, but milan losing is also good because it opens up the third CL spot a little more for competition. With milans payroll you'd think they'd steamroll the merde. Still another half to go so we'll see.

Haha true that was sweet indeed, to be honest i think our team is almost strong enough for CL qualification...maybe a creative midfielder would strengthen us..it is down to how well the team has gelled this season that will decide our fate

this week is massive but i have faith in our team i think we'll beat juve

Forza Lazio!!!  06

One each merda and milan...i hope it stays this way merda don't win and we could maybe catch milan

 iconstenrioma

Oh well 2-1 milan...

damn merda found a goal... merda vucinic... I dont like milan but for this match I am supporting them...

Yeah just finished 2-2 i think that's ok from our point of view ... makes the top half of the league just a little tighter

Forza Lazio!  00

Yeah not bad, we can't compete with Milan so a victory would have been better.  I hope that Lazio can cause the larger teams some problems in the second half like cagliari drawing inter, we have been getting shelled ever time we play these teams and its about time for a win or at least a draw and we tend to play well against Juve so hopefully this momentum continues.     

Real shame Milan didnt win as Merda are likely to pick up 3 points against sampdoria midweek with there game in hand. I think this is shaping up to be a really exciting serie A season. Pato proved again that Serie A has some of the best youngsters in world football with himself , Lavezzi, Hamsik, Zarate, Diahkite and Giovinco amongst others sure to be world beaters in the years to come. We will battle Napoli, Genoa, Roma and Fiorentina all the way for fourth place, which should make every week have a cup final feel to it. 

 stend1900 lfwaver 05 00 09

I guess a tie isn't the worst thing. I mean at least like this the merde are still scrambling for points and milan isn't keeping a big lead on the 3rd place spot. I agree the way things are going every weekend will be a battle with a final cup feeling. Even though the merde are playing samp wednesday I wouldn't count on them winning. Samp is hurting for points as well. The merde are officially in the top 10. I really hope they don't join the race for 3rd or 4th with us or even pass us would hurt. The merde will have to play few days after Samp against Torino who's in relegation zone.

Much as I prefer a riomer loss, a tie keeps us closer to Milan and we should be aiming up, not looking down at riomers.

Anyone looking for good quality highlights of all the serie A games with English commentary should look no further than Channel 4.com / football italia. Blow it up to full screen and enjoy!

Just finished watching the milan - fiorentina match. I was so hoping fiorentina would tie it up, considering they dominated the whole game and had so many chances. I really felt bad for them to outclass milan and not get a lucky and deserved break.

What a good game that was and what a great player pato will be. Having said that Fiorentina showed there quality and should have got somethin. I think Jovetic will be a super player in years to come.

Great news: 00

Atalanta 2:0 Inter
Chievo 1:0 Napoli

But it's not over...

Holy day of upsets.. hopefully the trend continues in the afternoon.

I can't believe Atalanta is killing Inter 3 - 0 in the first half. This is going to slow down inters lead and bring atalanta back into the race with 27 points. I really can't see inter coming back considering atalanta looks like the Inter you'd expect. I hope we can provide the same upset against rubentus.

The other upset is cagliar beating udinese 2-0. Udinese have fallen so hard from being the top spot and pretty soon they will have to worry about relegation if they continue like this.

It just goes to show that a few bad games can turn everything around.

Chievo 1-0 Napoli
Cagliari 2-0 Udinese
Atalanta 3-0 Inter

THE DAY OF UPSETS!!!!!!

This is a sign we must win this one.

FORZA RAGAZZI

All we need is Torinto to start scoring and beat the merda... thats the win I'm hoping for ... GOOOOOOOOO TORINOOOOOOOOOO!

Atalanta look brilliant, what a performance. I hope Sampdoria can level with Palermo as they are hovering below us. Good to see Genoa being held Lecce is a tough place to go lfwaver

Inter losing will fuel Juve, they can now be competitive for the scudetto with a win. 

This season has been all over the place with results hopefully we can pull off a suprise this afternoon. 

Even catania losing to bologna is another upset. A loss should see catania in the bottom 10 today.

HOLY UPSETS BATMAN!

I agree. A win today from Juve would make the scudetto totally achievable by making 1 point differential.

Here is a chance to catch up with the leaders with almost every team around us dropping points... I just hope our players are more motivated than the thieves! ... a win tonight could make this a special season

Forza Lazio!!!!  lfwaver 00 01 06 stend1900

nooooooooo i can't believe..... ievil
Roma scored in the last minute.....

Was just goint to post that .. what BS! We are officially tied with them in the standings ... WE NEED TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Napoli losing to chievo was the best consolation .. provided we win todays match. A win today can definately make Champions League a reality for us.

Yes, and somehow i have a good feeling about the game against Juve...

What a annoying thing.merda scored last minute ievil ievil ievil Fiorentina and Napoli lost.. WE HAVE TO WINNNNNNNNNNN
I have good feeling about this night. COME ON BOYSSSS. this match became very important now!

Forza Lazio

We are just a point ahead of roma, it used to be as much as 13 points at a stage.
But the other results dont hurt us so much.

we are now fighting for that 4th spot with teams with even points and quality. Do you think we can really hope for that 4th spot under this circumstances (with Rossi as a coach and players we have). 
                              P
                       
4.    Genoa             35
5.    Napoli              33
6.    Fiorentina         32
7.    Lazio                31
8.    Roma              30
9.    Palermo           29
10.    Atalanta         27

 

Just finished watching Chievo vs. Reggina. Chievo scored in like the 90th minutes. I wouldn't have watched the game but when I saw Makinwa come on I wanted to see if he'd do anything special .. all I have to say is .. thank god that guy is off our team. I was really hoping he'd score to give chievo a reason to sign him. Reggina are officially this years whipping boys and I think they're getting relegated. The last 3 year's they've been close but I think their luck has run out.

Next match today is Juve vs. Fiorentina. I hope it's a tie to bring both teams in competition with the us and give us some CL hope.

I think we can exclude Palermo and Atalanta from the running for 4th place. They cant play away from home and thats the key to success this season. Genoa have been unbelieveable all season long, and they have no other competitions to focus on so they will be dangerous as will Napoli who seem unbeatable at home. But Roma and Fiorentina have the greatest depth, but they are both in Europe which may work in our favour as they will be stretched to win all the time. I think it will be very close between us, Roma and Fiorentina for 4th place. Thats not to say i think Genoa or Napoli will fall off the radar, but i dont think either of them will be in 4th come the seasons end. I guess this is what makes the league so exciting, there are no guarantees for anyone at all. Last season 4th was a battle between fiorentina and Milan. This season its between 5 teams. Forza Lazio for 4th place 

Rubentus did it again with another one of their classic controversial wins... they still wreak of calciopoli. They might have had a controversial win but fiorentina was the better side and gilardino scored a perfectly legitamate goal that was called offside and they also deserved a penalty on a trip from melberg. There are plenty of games to go and anything can happen now in the second half of the season. Remember we saw udinese on the top spot at one point and look where they are now!

Whoever Cagliari's coach is, we should look into him. Currently they're winning 1-0 on juventus. They gave us a beating of a lifetime and won last week against Siena. They will pass us tommorow in the table if we lose to milan and they happen to pull it off against juventus.

napoli tied udinese which are two uefa contending teams .. generally i would be happy about this but I have no faith lazio is going anywhere and we are not going to be milan .. i hope i'm wrong but they've proven to be more of a weaker team than a contending team.

Cagliari are now challengers for the uefa and greatly deserve so. They just beat Juve in Torino. So basically they've beat us at home and juve at home which i must say is quite the feat. Unfortunately they have more bragging rights than we do proving to be a much strong. Not only have they won but have played a good game.... Sad .. very very sad!

What a great game to watch that was, and Cagliari really have some very talented young players. Matri, Jeda, Aquafresca will be big stars in years to come

Wow reggina is beating milan right now .. fak we couldn't even manage to score on them .. rrrrrrr!

Inter won against lecce .. Big F'N surprise!

Reggina battled hard right to the last, and did everything we didnt last weekend though Milan did deserve 3 points with the amount of posession and chances they had. Inter were very good in their game, and looked solid everywhere. Sets up an interesting Milan derby next weekend.

If genoa beats the merde they will be in pole position for champions league... how the F**K did this happen ?

Genoa crusing with 10 men 3-0 against Fiorentina. Fiorentina havent even been that bad and have just won a penalty as i speak. Merda loosing at atalanta currently

What a week. If we could win last night, maybe something could happen... just maybe...

The thing that I wonder is tonight derby. As far as I heard, Kaka wont play. Is it true?

Atalanta 3-0 Roma current score!!!!!!!!!! Playing away in Serie A is just so tough, Atalanta also is such a tough place to play football. I dread it when we go there romerda. Kaka doubtful for tonight, but ronaldinho will play for sure. He was magical against Italy midweek for Brazil. who do u want to win?

Actually, I hate milan so if Inter wins, it will be better.
By the way, I am happy since atalanta is winnig against  iconstenrioma.

I used to also, espcially when they undeservedly beat us to the title in 1998/1999 season. I got sick of there players like Ganz, Bierhoff, Boban. Great players, but always geting cheeky goals that perhaps they didnt deserve. We should have been champions then also. But, I have enjoyed the way they played in Europe over the last few years, players like Kaka, Pirlo, Gattuso. Great to watch. Inter are apparently our cousins in this league tho, clubs get on well. I hope its a good game, 4-3 would be good. If its like Genoa v Fiorentina i wont be dissapointed.

Genoa-Fiorentina was an amazing game.  Huge difference from where they are and Lazio is.  That's competitiveness, the only thing that really sets the difference between Geno and Lazio right now. 

The derby even without Kaka will be a great game especially if Milan win to bring the scudetto race closer.  Inter has won too many times in row.

Lot of draws this weekend and Juve and Napoli have dropped down in the last month. 

Inter 2-1 Milan: Another Serie A game, another great match. Have to say dissapointed for Milan, deserved a point after their efforts in the second half and as a consequence Inter appear to be running away with it. Roma aside, I dont have a massive dislike for any of the other clubs but i dont want to see anyone apart from Lazio win four scudettos in a row. Its not over yet, but 9 points is a big lead but with 14 games to go can anyone else actually stop them. I think Juve still have a chance, and the competition in general in serie A this year will still make it hard for Inter to maintain such a lead. Lotito, from out viewpoint, must look at Genoa, Napoli, Fiorentina and even an to an extent Palermo to see what we need to do to become better in this league. I believe that they will all only get stronger next year especially if they get into Europe. When teams like Genoa now have world class talent like Milito and Motta our backline of Siviglia and co will get run ragged at every opportunity. We cant afford to mess around anymore else judging by the quality that ive seen from four games ive watched this weekend were just become permanent mid table fodder. That being said, at least by greater competition we will actually be forced to buy better players and become a better team, in theory. stend1900

Finished watching the Inter - AC Milan game. Lazio is nowhere near the same level as these teams by a long shot. Each player is brilliant and each pass is precise. I thought milan would've tied it up near the end and dominated the second half. Want to see AC milan win as well for paolo maldini's last derby. Adriano is a bull and i'll never forget when there was a rumour that he might be coming to lazio that was the greatest thing ever.

On a side note, I can't believe divaio has scored 16 goals or a combination of both zarate and pandev's goals... sad!

Yer i remeber that rumour, i couldnt believe it at the time. Have to say good to see him have an excellent game after the problems he has had in his life.

merda won against siena, 1-0. bad news. And they are better than us... annoying ievil

Hopefully we will slaughter them in the derby though, and perhaps end there 4th place bid? That would be rather sweet. When you think about it the win in the derby last year for us cost them the title. Ha ha ha ha ha

After now, since we cant get the CL spot, I hope neither does merda. go hell  iconstenrioma
Winning derby is too important, if I say that the only things I want are uefa spot and beating merda in derby, I guess I am not wrong.

I know that here is other serie a match place but I want to talk about Barcelona-Espanyol match. Really execting match. 55. minute and Espanyol scored 2 goals, 0-2. And goals came from De La Pena. Barcelona left 10 men and match is perfect. I suggest you to watch the rest of game, if you can.

Currently watching Palermo v Juve, fantastic goal from sissoko reminds of Viera at the moment. Serging runs from deep, very good player. I usually watch the second half of the late la liga match on a sat night, very good league. Good to see De la pena scoring, must be good for him as he used to play for Barca before he came to lazio

Now 1-2 and match is perfect and so harsh. 1 red and 9 yellow cards until now.

Now, I expect juve to win against napoli. We are 7th now and have 38 points.

r u watching the game? Juve on top at the mo

yes I have been watching since 20. min

juve scored with Marchisio at 44 min., lucky goal actually.

wow Napoli are now at 11 position. We are right behind Merda but we have few easy matches like Siena, Catania, Chievo..... This is our chance to go in UEFA and to put Merda where it belongs.

Hopefully Inter win tommorow and keep the merde close by. I'm also hoping cagliari, atalanta and palermo have bad games and stay behind us.

I watched the Napoli - Juve game and have to say that was the dirtiest and sketchiest game i've watched all year. The ref made soooooooo many bad calls you know why juventus as the nickname rubentus. The game literally should have been 8 vs. 8 with the cards that should have been given out.

Chiellini looks like he wanted to fight napoli players all match.

Anyways, glad napoli lost and are now trailing us. Hopefully when we play them we can send them even more to the depth of the bottom 10. Juve still played incredible and you can tell they are saving their important players for tuesdays match which looks like they will be taking seriously especially after losing against chelsea in CL.

Yeah, I agree I watched too. I can say it wasnt fair. Anyway, juve won and I am wating todays matches now. Come on inter, beat merda.

Palermo  -  Catania
Atalanta -  Chievo
Cagliari   -  Torino

Unfortunately, all teams we compete will play in home. I think Palermo can win, Chievo and Torino need immediate winning not to go Serie B. I hope they can get at least a point.

Wow so I will say it all came to this. Who would like more to play the finals at Olimpico and take UEFA. Rossi must explain the situation to the players and demand concentration and spirit. I think if we hold not to take a goal out of both matches we will be great but unfortunately our weakest link is the defense. We are playing the first one home and must get a good result. Lets hope that Juve will beat Chelsea and have smarter things to do and leave coppa to us. 

Palermo has no chance against Catania bigrin

Good news that catania is smashing palermo. All we need is Atalanta and Cagliari to chocke and we're safe in the 7th position. This is definately turing out to be a great weekend. Did anyone see the goals catania scored .. if not you have to .. Mascara scores the funniest goal by kicking the ball straight up from far away and the ball just bounces right into the net.. a rare way of scoring a goal.

Sampdoria beating milan 2-0 .. wow! .. i think this is honestly ancelotti's last year coaching milan. No Coppa, No Uefa, and No Scudetto ... even after they spent how much this year on world known players ..haha!

Since his move to Samp, ive been very impressed with Pazzini. Another tidy finish today. Italy seems to have a good crop of strikers like Rossi, Gilardino and Pazzini. Beneficial for 2010 world cup i think. Milan have been a shambles in this game. There defence is a shambles, i agree Latius Ancelloti can't survive this, they may not even make the champions league the way there going.

#
7th place is better than 11th, but still no uefa spot, right?

This is looking real good! Chievo beating atalanta, Catania beating Palermo, we just need Torino to score on Cagliari now.

I hope samp beats milan. Milan is playing so dirty.

7th place is a uefa qualifying spot ONLY if the final two teams of the coppa italia have already qualified. So if juve and inter were in the finals of the coppa and we finished 7th place then we would go to UEFA.

Don't think the palermo fans will be happy tonight, loosing 4 - 0 to your bitter rivals ouch. I think that will kill palermos momentum, they will struggle to get over that result.

this is turning to be a wonderfull weekend for us !Results from the other mathces are just great and going in our favour!I even think that we are still in the game for the 4 spot of the league table IF we continue to play like yesterday!Forza Lazio

Yeah that has to hurt and catania isn't exactly know to be a serious contending team any year. Zenga has done a great job turning the team around and that IS a credible win.

This is a great weekend for us with the added results from the other games. We are not only back in the top 10 but also in 7th. It's amazing how 1 win and the results of 4 other games can make an impact.

Atalanta, Cagliari, Napoli, and Palermo losing has changed our whole situation. Hell, even genoa tying has kept them at a close distance. All we need now is Inter to smash the merde and this will be a perfect weekend for Lazio fans.

Exactly, if this weekends fixture show anything it is that the championship is long and hard, and that the depth of this league guarantees that anyone can loose anywhere. In light of this, theres no reason why we can't finish in the top six at all. Yet we have to be careful, looking at the league table now we are still only six points above samp in 14th place. Still, its been a great weekend for us, and we have a good chance to win the next three games before derby also

I heard now the scores and very well, perfect for us iscarf1 iscarf1. Everthing goes well now. Palermo lost 0-4 ieek, go hell palermo, atalanta as well, thank chievo. Fiorentina tied up

Nowww, I can watch merda match. I can hear merda fans crying bigrin

I agree, anelotti finished his credit. With him they won CL and get 2th in CL. No more cup. Expected at least a scudetto but he cant do it. It is likely to see another coach next year.
Good to see milan in this situation. Age average of milan is more than 30. It is hard to compete for them.

WTF ievil I was watching the A.Madrid- Barcelona match and when it finished, I turned merda match, merda scored 2 goals ievil Is this joke? and merda playing well, fuck it ievil

Merda 3:3 Inter...

Better than a roma win!

I was pretty shocked when I saw the merde winning 2 - 0. Thank god Inter came back and tied it up as our distance is getting attainable although walking away from Inter with a tie is still pretty impressive.

We need to start getting some credible wins under our belt and make sure this time we take 3 points from the derby.

OMG when Calcio will stooped stetting up games, but anyway it does help Lazio to keep the difference.

We were 11th and now we are 7th as a result of two consecutive win and the other matches scores. OK, we are going well now but if we lose points against napoli, then we can turn back again.

I sure have missed alot, but it feels good to be back.
Thanks Jofo.

So if we lose in the final, we won't get an uefa spot!?

I'm fairly certain that if we got into the final with Inter, even a loss would put us into UEFA. If we get to the final against Samp, we must win to get a spot in UEFA. If Inter and Juve get into the finals and they finish top 4, the 7th place finisher gets a UEFA spot. If Samp wins the Coppa or finishes runner up to Inter or Juve, then they get the spot. At least that's what I've been told. Let's just win the damn thing so we can get the UEFA spot and wear that stylish tricolour bullseye on our jerseys!!!! Forza Lazio!!!!

A stylish tricolor to go with a lovely cup and a european place would be just the thing to cheer us all up after a winter of discontent  i-surp and of course beating  iconstenrioma  iscarf3 afterwards
Forza Lazio!  lfwaver

Sampdoria scored with Cassano in 8th minute. It seems Sampdoria wants to go uefa by winning coppa like us. They got a tie against juve and they won against milan. Now they want to beat inter as well.

Sampdoria found 3 goals in the first half, inter played nothing. It seems they dont care coppa. Pazzini(2) and Cassano scored.

This actually has a positives and negatives.

If Samp make it to the final and we don't we might not make uefa even if we make that 7th spot.

However, if we manage to beat Juve in the second legge i'd be happy to play Samp in the final. However i'd rather take my chances knowing we'd face Inter so we don't get scammed a spot from Samp.

Yeah, sampdoria wants to reach final for uefa like us. And if we and sampdoria play final, I am sure that sampdoria will play its best game.
To face with inter can seem more tough but at least guaranty. However, what happens if we face with sapmdoria in final is a thing only GOD knows bigrin.

Wow Sampdoria out played Inter. I'm little scared of them. So Sampdoria one finalist and who's other. Lazio will face big Juventus away. The most important thing is either Chelsea will pass Juve in CL if not then we really have big troubles.

Well it all comes to this, who is most hungry for Coppa trophy and Uefa position. We have final in Olimpico which is more inspiring for us and I believe our lads will respect that and bring us the trophy under perfect atmosphere and mille bandiere.

Good news is that the merde tied, and Inter is currently up 2 nothing. Provided we win tommorow that would put both teams close on our radar and hopefuly we can do better than 7th place this season and not have to depend on the coppa results.

Good that Inter beats Genoa!

Genoa is on a better position than Lazio ievil

There is not many thing to say. Thanks Inter and Udinese i-beer

I would fancy Milan and Fiorentina to both win today and consolodate 3rd and 4th place. Maybe after last night we can catch 5th and 6th, as Roma have only 2 points from their last 2 games and Genoa only 1 point from 2 games. Big shout out to Udinese, thankyou.  iconstenrioma

If nothing else, it would be nice to catch those degenerates on the table.

We have fallen back to 9th place as Cagliari won in Bologna today. Atalanta drew, so they didnt leapfrog us but with both Genoa and Fiorentina winning all hope is fading.  Yet if we can achieve some consitency and beat merda then maybe, just maybe we can get to 6th place as it is still just five points away. One thing is for sure, we will have to improve greatly for the coppa second leg, anyone who saw juve last night will see what i mean. on a seperate note, Chievo win again today. Those flying donkeys look likely to beat the drop on current form.

         

If we have been a little more consistent especially with our home games, we would have said there is hope for a fourth place finish, but now a uefa spot will be a pleasant surprise.

Anyone else watching atalanta v Fiorentina? Jovetic is such a good young player. Atalanta, I really like the way they attack the big sides, they show no fear and thats why they beat Inter, Rioma and us at home this year

I ain't watching but Jovetic has bags of potential yes. In many ways, he'd fit in at Lazio.. lots of talent, but not in the team as much becuase of older, shitter players!

Jus as i read that fiore took him off

Wow, chievo tied 3-3 against juve with a last minute goal. It seems that juve said bye for championship if inter wins this week.

Credit's to Chievo... since us they have scored plenty and played well

Did anyone watching Man Utd vs. Aston VIlla.

Perfect game, but I want to point out one thing only Federico Macheda the guy that score the third and the winning goal was former Lazio primavera kid. Why the hell we give up from him.

I think you know the answer.

He got lured by money, + they bribed his father by offering him a gardening job, which he also accepted.

Today, Juventus - Inter will be played in Turin. Actually, Inter is champion anymore for me, juve is behind 10 points and lost 5 points in last 2 weeks, hard for them to be champion. Even if juve win, I dont think inter would lose their chace. 

Whatever, will be good to watch though.

I was hoping lecce could hold onto the tie with the merde and keep them close to us for a possible race with them for a uefa spot. Looking at the games ahead it's hard to say we can make uefa through the league. Of the remaining matches juve, inter, palermo, udinese are among them. We need to keep this rythem and anything is possible. If the merde lost today and again to fiorentina .. we would make uefa .. but it's easier said. I'll be crossing my fingers for the next 10 minutes for lecce to pull one out of their ass.

MErda 2-0 then Lecce made 2-2. And then what, of course a penalty. Merda bastards, they make me sick. Too bad Palermo is winning also. they will go in front of us.

I like this Pellisier fella ,he scored many goals for Chievo in the second part of the C-ship(today 2,he also scored against Juve I think)...maybe we need to get him at Stadio Olimpico for next year??? I was thinking that after he scored 2 goals against us in the second match,what is your opinion on this?  iscarf1

after looking at the table now .. boy did we drop .. but nothing serious reall since the margin of points is small between us and the 4 teams above. Hopefully more wins on our behalf coupled by their losses will throw us up the table. Catching the merde will be difficult at this stage. Had they only tied today then only 1 win would have been the divider between us.  

None of the results went our way today, with Merda winning, Palermo hammering Bologna. I watched Cagliari v Napoli, a good game but again the result went against us as Cagliari won. But, with Merda hopfully getting beat by Fiorentina next week, Palermo playing Milan and Cagliari having to go to Samp we should be able to close the gap next week against Atalanta who lost at home to Reggina today.

I was actually going to comment then deleted. But Pelissier was on our radar for the transfer market last year along with Cavani who seems to be scoring now. I think he would be a great if we make uefa we'll need another striker to depend on. Then Pandev, Zarate, Rocchi and Pelissier would be a great force up front.

Napoli dropped like a sack a bricks in the table. My god. Even with donadoni they can't produce shit. I'm so glad that we got out of our slump unlike them. I hope they keep choking anyways.

my thoughts exactly!  i-beer

The coach will not perform magic, he should be rated next season.
We are lucky enough our slump is not that bad compared to these folks, but for our history, it is bad enough.

Love the number. Roma merda  romerda  iconstenrioma

Hahahahaha, good pic Jofo i-beer

Napoli beating Inter tonight, wow. Thought at best they may manage a draw but great goal by Zalayeta. Good game, anyone else watch it? Napoli broke up Inter's midfield winning every second ball available, thats what we have to do next week. Maybe this sounds ridiculous, but if we play our very best we could cause an upset. I would love it to be us to end their unbeaten home record, that would say something about out club.

I have watched it. Great game. Baloteli went crazy, that kid have attitude problems.
Great goal be Zalaeta, Cezar didn't even move. Many games turned good for us, too bad we wasn't able to get at least a point. Damn we could have jumped very high.


Now it all comes down to coppa.

You seem to watch every game friend! I used to be like that but when I'm at Uni I've soon stopped, because I have to get on a train to Uni walk up a huge hill whatever and watch it in a stuffy computer room there heh. Now I only really watch 'special' games or those including Lazio, even today I chose not to!
When I'm at 'home' home with a bloody good broadband I tend to watch a lot more, the Napoli game tonight sounded fun, a sell-out at the San Paolo is a hell of a lot more exciting then most other Serie A grounds.

Yeah i do watch a lot of serie A, always have loved watching Italian football of any description really. Ah, University computer rooms, I can certainly see why you choose only to watch the special ones, dont blame you at all there mate. You didnt miss anything today mate, to be honest i wished i hadnt watched. Credit where credit is due, the Napoli faithful really do make their ground a hell hole.

Anyone else watching any of the other games today? Genoa v Sampdoria the derby of the lanterns should be a good one.

After yesterdays crappy results .. todays results made things better. Looking at the table now .. roma are sitting in 6th looking less likely to grab the CL spot and more likely to grab the last uefa spot. Like I said last week, it would be all the sweeter if we end up winning the coppa and snagging the uefa spot from the merde if they can stay in that position to make their season meaningless keeping them out of europe.

This afternoon, is an exciting derby and i'll be rooting for genoa 100% since I want them to keep a big lead on the merde with the remaining games 4 games. Judging by the rest of Genoa's season it should be no effort to not only maintain the current spot but potentially move up since their remaining games are atalanta, chievo, torino and lecce. I'd say they have a pretty safe path.

The milan - catania game was similar to yesterdays lazio match. Milan played monkey in the middle with catania most of the game and almost looked like they were taunting catania when milan had a string of what seemed like 30 passes completed in front of the box.

Yeah, incredibly were still only 5 points out of sixth place despite two straight losses. Im through with making predictions on this season as each week results shock me. Chievo took a point in Rome today though, good one. I think they may even miss out on Uefa now with Palermo looking very dangerous. Milan did give a masterclass in how to keep the ball today though, brilliant at times.

currently genoa and samp are tied. I hope genoa can pull it off and keep a healthy lead on the merde for both CL and uefa spots. Good game to watch.

Wow .. exciting derby between Genoa and Samp. Similar to our derby .. cards were given out like crazy and the game ended up being 9 men genoa against 10 men Samp. Milito is incredible scoring a hatrick. Must be a great feeling for a player to score 3 in a derby. With a 7 point lead ahead of the merde sitting in 5th .. they would have to give up 3 out of the four remaining games to lose their spot to the merde.

Who do people think will go down to Serie B? I would have said Reggina for sure a week ago but now im not to sure. Torino, and even Lecce seem to be picking up form.

I think this should be a topic on its own .. but these teams ALL really have it tough.

Should be interesting since these relegation bound teams have to face each other in some matches:

Torino plays - Bologna, Napoli, Genoa, MERDA
Bologna plays - Torino, Lecce, Chievo, Catania
Lecce plays - Napoli, Bologna, Fiorentina, Genoa
Reggina plays - Sampdoria, Cagliari, LAZIO 1900, Siena
Chievo plays - Inter, Genoa, Bologna, Napoli

Of these teams bologna has the best chance.

Milito, is just magical.
I recall when he just signed for genoa, i thought he was mad to sign for a club like that.....he was highly rated in spain and could have joined a big club in spain............but he came to genoa can all see the fruits.....To me, he is the best player in the league this season.And big kudos to genoa too for getting him.

as frustrating as yesterday game was and last weeks game against inter.. i'm now finding it frustrating that chievo is putting on a better performance than us against Inter. Currently the score is 1-1 but chievo is able to create chances and have possession which lazio couldn't do neither. The only consolation for the weekend would be to see the merde lose today.

Apart from the league draw with Juve, with have been demolished by the Milan sides in every game in the league. Yet, the small provincial sides take the game to them a fight, I fancy Chievo for a point today. Great goal by them also

Cagliari currently beating the merde .. this team is a revelation .. such a small club that didn't do anything in the first half of the season has a shot of grabbing a uefa spot and on a winning patter since january.

OMG .. chievo just tied inter 2-2 with a beautiful second goal...i think they are safe in serie a. I'm surprised even chievo isn't willing to field makinwa in a regular match when rossi fielded him in the CL.

If memory serves I think Cagliari lost their first six games as well. What a game in Verona, 2-2 now. Balotelli's goal is a must see. World class. Its a really good game

Sampdoria were able to smash reggina 5 nothing with their 2nd string team .. lazio couldn't beat udinese with a lot of starters .. they better get their act together come wednesday.

Thats right latius, thats a warning for us but we must stay hopeful and believe the players to do it on the field for lazio.

Currently watching the catania - merda game. Catania is creating chances and I'm hoping they can come back and at least tie up the game.

pure bullshit .. catania concede a goal at 91 minutes to give roma the win. 1 minute could have kept them out of uefa .. faaaaaaaaaaaaak!

Fuck! I didnt watch but my friend told that Catania tied 3-3. I was very happy but then I heard 4-3. merda won matches like this before. ievil OMG, your right Laitus, this could push them from UEFA spot.

Very important game indeed. I have watch it and Catania were really close. Hole second half time they were attacking but thats the merda way. Goal in 90 +

 iconstenrioma

Two more chances for our curse to fulfill.

Merda's fixture.................. Milan (A), Torino (H)

Udinese's fixture................ Milan (H), Sampdoria (A), Cagliari (H)

Palermo's fixture................ Lazio (H), Atalanta (A), Sampdoria (H)

These are matches that will determine 6th spot. If merda lost today, then it would be cool but no unfortunately. Milan can win in their home and Torino is very near to relagation position so they may get point(s). Udinese, if wining against milan, then can win last 2 games. Palermo ( really I dont know what I say our match against them) can make UEFA spot. I hope they will.

I think the race is now between udinese and the merde. Hopefully after next week it will be a tie for 7th. As I'm hoping milan will beat the merde and udinese and can beat samp which won't be an easy task as I find them pretty even teams. Then the remaining uefa spot will be decided on the final game of the season.

Udi won... good move right?

Although having said that, c'mon, you KNOW it would be awesome to meet them in Europe and fuck em' out the competition.  icool

Milan will surley sign off the season at home with a win against merda. I think their defence is even worse than ours has been at points this season. I think its shows the developing strength of the league that the race for these spots are still at week 36 difficult to predict. That being said, Udinese are an excellent outfit but are likely to loose a few players in the summer. I think it is between Merda and Udinese, as Palermo simply cant play away from home

It should be interesting to see who can score the last uefa spot. While it looks like the merde might have it... it will be an exciting last 2 weeks ... they have two games ahead that will be tough .. 1 against AC Milan and the other against Torino who will be fighting tooth and nail not to get relegated on their last game.

Udinese can make a jump next week to tie roma at 57 points if all goes as planned .. leaving the last weekend to be the decider.

I fancy Udinese for it. Roma will loose in my opinion at the San Siro, although will probably beat Torino at home. Milan need a win to wrap up automatic CL qualification and are leathal at home. Palermo have a poor away record, maybe this will allow Udinese to creep into 7th place.

I think merda will be beaten by milan and torino gets at least a point. Udinese, I hope, maintains their good performances, 6 in 6, wow, really great. Come on Udinese i-beer

So Lecce bite the dust, although I think we all knew that was going to happen for some time now. With Bari coming up to some degree it is a shame those two wont meet in Serie A, because those two clubs rivalry is fierce. Still, final relegation place is between Torino and Bologna. Shame to loose either, but the safe money looks like Bologna will stay up, a win against Catania at home would do it for them.

Torino will play with merda, I think, after merda's UEFA spot became certain, Torino can win. As to Bologna, Walter Zenga resigned and Bologna will play wit Catania at home. Bologna can get this.

Thing annoying me is both Udinese and Palermo couldnt pass merda. I was hopeful but dream was end...

Torino will be relegated today, barring a miracle of biblical proportions. Drawing in Rome, but Bologna are 2-0 up and cruising at home to Catania. A shame for Torino, but they simply haven't had good enough players for a while now.

^^ Catania's attitude coming into this game was sickening - everyone took it for granted that Bologna would (be allowed) to win. mah!

Udinese going goal crazy .. 5 goals from 5 players.. wow!

So many goals everywhere today. Shame only a couple of games mean anything significant.

Think the right team stayed up in Bologna, the fact that they can fill there stadium is also a plus for the league. Aparently, I just read on Football Italia that Ancelotti has left Milan.

Indeed. Chelsea or Real Madrid for him now.
Milan surely must go for Riijkaard - that would be a fantastic story, I'd respect them a lot if they did that. At any rate, he is a better manager then Van Basten and Leonardo just hasen't got the experience

Leonardo just confirmed as Milan's new coach. Wow, that didnt take long did it.

Roma just salvaged almost complete embarassment to AA Gent in round 3 qualifying for The Europa League.  A dubious invisible penalty call saved their asses today.  I was ready to pop open some champagne had they gone down in leg 1 @ home to a team i've never heared of.  I'm pretty sure they are from Sarejevo? but who knows

HAHAHA yeah, never mind. At least could get the chance to demolish them later in the comp. Gent? Belgium side.

It may sound biaised, oh well, hope it really happens i-razz

Currently I think Juve have the best forward line and midfield, though their defence is not as good as Inters. Juve for me at the moment are favourites, but if Inter add a creative midfielder then it will be pretty even. Don't count out Milan though, usual soap opera there this summer. Expect Berlusconi to pull something out of the hat to make him look the hero, rumoured to be courting Huntelaar and Fabregas.

If we start well we can finish top six, but Genoa, Palermo, Roma, Fiorentina and Napoli will fight with us.

Relegated. Livorno for sure and not because of the rivarly, but because they look weaker than the other sides. Parma should stay up, maybe Siena will go as they have lost quite a few good players, Zuinga and Gallopa for example.

I wathced Juve-Real a few days ago and they look well rounded.  The main difference was defence, Juve still have a weakness but Real's was horrible.  All the money they spent and they were getting kicked around by Juve's offence.  I don't expect Inter to run away with the league this year but I believe for the mid-table it will be as competitive as ever.  the 4th CL spot is up for grabs.  Milan should struggle more this year as their defence is still very poor and their midfield is still old.  The only determining point for us to finish higher up will be to get a central defence that can withstand a quality attack.  I think Juve will win the scudetto but there are probably two CL spots that can be contested.  Roma should struggle this year and Fiorentina seem to have reached their maximum with the current squad.   Udinese could jump up in that competitive mix as well last year they had a bad slump, We should be able to quality for europe through the league, but looking into the future Serie A is not the the high spending free for all like Spain or England, with a  more level playing field we should be planning for a CL entrance in the next year. 

 

Chiellini, whom I used to esteem, looks like a train wreck - ever since the Confederation Cup he's looked like a disaster.

How Inter won tonight I will never know. Udinese should have won it near the death, Di Natale had a great chance to put it to bed but blew it. Sneijder showed why he is such a world class player at the end, but Inter should not have won this game.

Di Natale reminds me of Del Piero last season. Great match except the fact that Inter doesn't seems to care if they win or not. The way they enter in the Second half didn't impress me at all. Not the champion from the last year.

Watched both games today. First game Catania -Bari was very evenly matched and a tie was a fair result. Udinese should have won with the chances they had. I even said to my friend that Inter's going to score a goal in the dying minutes and sure enough Snejder put one into the in the 90th minute. To top place will be a battle between Inter and Juve to the end and ac milan is completely out of that race. I think Sampdoria is a strong team but i think eventually they will fall from their top spot.

You stayed awake during Bari? 'Grats.
I think Juve will win the league - Inter aren't playing well enough. Interesting to see if Arnautovic get's some game time when he is fit, as he can offer them the aerial threat that Zlatan used to give them. I saw a very very lucky Inter side tonight - Udinese for me are a big surprise, I foolishly wrote them off in the season, but with Di Natale and a pretty solid team all in all, I don't see why they can't get in the mix for a Europa League place.

I want to relax and watch the palermo juve game and see how it goes.
Hopefully we will beat fio so this game will be more njoyable for me.

Roma is down 1-0 and milan too.

Genoa are doing a great job away from home 2-0.
Roma have levelled it.

roma takes the lead......totti again. ievil

Woah, Juve getting destroyed by Palermo. Juve gonna be winless in 3 if it stays the same  ieek

Am loving it.............it is this same palermo we almost killed last week.

2-0 palermo.
I like the result.

Again, this result illustraits how tough it is to get points on the road in Italy for anyone. Enjoyable game to watch and Palermo looked very compact, aggressive and dangerous going forward. Miccoli terrorised the Juve back line, and Pastore finally showed what all the fuss had been about. Cavani is superb also, his goal is worth a look.

Palermo didn't just beat Juve but beat them with class. This is something I wish our Lazio can pull against a team like Juve instead of just talking about IF we closed those chances we had. Palermo were on the constant attack and exciting to watch. Every weekend we see a big team crumble ... this weekend Juve Lost and AC tied.

One of the most annoying events is watching these small and mid table teams draw points out of the leaders, seems like ages since we have done this.  I am really interested in seeing our game vs Milan who look like shit this year.  We should beat them but historically they are at an advantage.   

Thats my point. These mid table teams have already proved that they can take on the big boys and they deserve to be where they are. In 7 games we won 2 and that was against atalanta and chievo. I need to see some consistency and see lazio take out Inter, Juve or even AC as shit as they are to show they can contend with some consistent wins. Then maaaaaaaaybe i wouldn't be so pessimistic with the obvious reasons i should be.

It really hurts when other teams do it and we cant.............damn!

Well, we all want to see that Latius, and maybe just maybe against Milan we will. But what I would rather see, in comparison to last season, is us not to loose 1-3 at home to Udinese, 1-4 at home to Cagliari, 1-2 at home to Atalanta, 0-3 at home to Chievo. We need to iron out these silly, stupid costly defeats and turn them into three points instead. Consistency is key as you say, and then the victories against the big guns may come. Palermo though are no longer a small team, they were 8th last season so im not suprised that they are achieving results like this before we are.

Possibly the most exciting round of the season so far coming up this weekend.....

Saturday
Juventus v Fiorentina
Genoa v Inter

Sunday
Lazio v Samp
Milan v Rioma

Lazio game aside, I can't wait for Genoa v Inter. I feel the Grifone will cause Inter real problems, and I feel Inter will at best only get a point.

We must 100% win against fucking doria! It's an obligatory win if we want to reach the EU liga places. I believe we can take the 3 points

On this round Juve against Fiorentina should be interesting. If pressed hard enough I will admit they are my second team of choice and I am worried for Buffon's knee. I used to pay attention to Milan a bit in the past (the times of van Basten et al) and I tend to severely dislike them or support them with indifference. Depending on whether it is Serie A or Champions League and who the opponent is. For some weird reason I hope they win on Saturday. Otherwise, only the result of SS Lazio vs Sampdoria matters.

Seems like football festival for Serie A.

For Juve and Milan, their matches are a MUST for this week, I dont think so they can stand another bad score, and I hope Milan can do it at least i-beer

I dont know which math is on TV. All matches are in same hour in both days?

There all on at different times, so if your like me, you may want to watch them all.

Saturday  6pm CET Juve v Fiorentina
Saturday 8.45 CET Genoa v Inter
Sunday 3pm CET Lazio v Samp
Sunday 8.45 CET Milan v Rioma


From what I understand, he will keep playing as long as possible and have surgery right after, literally I think, Inter v Juve on December 5th. If it were really serious, I wouldnt of thought they would risk it at all.

And if we weren't spoilt enough by those 4 games, we've also got:

Catania v Cagliari - Two struggling teams... either a brilliant game or a dull watch.
Chievo v Bari - Chievo flying high against a team that can't score...
Livorno v Palermo - Easiest away win ever - dominate dominate dominate.
Napoli v Bologna - Easy win for Napoli with Mazzari's first game, should be goals.
Parma v Siena - Fascinating one. Siena need a win, Parma looking good.
Udinese v Atalanta - In-form Udinese at home to fighting Atalanta.

Should make for a cracking weekend, the best we've had all season imo.

Yeah, I read about it and the worrying part is exactly that Buffon himself does not seem to be certain if he can actually carry on that long. Remains to be seen. The worst part of the World Cup qualifiers is over anyway and that would be more of a concern to me than Juventus.

I agree with Theo!! Very good post brooooo

This will actually be an interesting weekend in serie a. To name a few:

Lazio vs. Samp
Milan vs. Merda
Inter vs. Genoa
Fiorentina vs. Juve

I hate when their are so many great games in 1 weekend and then the following weekend every strong team is playing a weaker team. Who knows what upsets we can expect this weekend ?

It will not be good to miss any of the games. bigrin

I have chance to watch all matches from TV, only Genoa-Inter match wont be live. Unfortunately, I guess I will miss juve match but can watch Genoa Inter from the band.

Shame, Juve game will be a corker. I'm sitting comfortably, bring it on  bigrin

Bloody hell fire, Vargas! 0-1 already.

I postponed my meeting with friends and came to home then Fiorentina sored, hard situation for Juve...

That's the spirit. Football first, friends later. Unless you can combine both, what say you, pal  i-beer

Iaquinta was so close, such a shame to miss that.

And another miss from Juve strikers, how could they miss ieek

But Amauri scored at last....

P.s. Actually Theo, I am trying to save money for Turkish derby ticket bigrin, it was better to cancel meeting honestly bigrin

Ah ok, well, for sure you have superb taste in teams. Gala, Argentina, Barcelona, and of course Lazio.

This has been the best first half I've seen all season. 1-1! WHAT A GAME  i-beer

Not Barça fan exactly but coz Real hate, I have little sempathy bigrin

Btw, I agree its been going well so far, I hope Juve wins, coz they are not our real opponent but Fiorentina is...

Good point. That is why I also do not feel guilty of supporting ANOTHER team in Serie A. Bah-hah.

Somewhat of a surprising result. Juve had so many chances - dang. They have dropped so many silly points - surely there is no-one on this forum who wants to see Inter win a fifth straight title? Fuck it all.  ievil


Roll on the Marassi, excellent, super little Genoa will scare the shits out of the injury ravaged Nerazzuri. Hopefully.  i-smile

fiorentina are showing they have the resolve to contest.
Inter are one goal up early in the game with genoa.

inter 3-0 up in the 1st half already.
It is over for genoa.

Its why its so important to stop inter getting anything in the early stages of any game. Remember, last year, we were 1-0 down after a couple of minutes and then 2-0 by half time against Inter. Give them half a chance and they will take it. I wanted a Genoa win tonight, well, now thats about as likely as a lottery win.

5-0 with 20mins to go.

...and yet the Genoa fans sing like their winning. Bravo Genoa

And credit to Samp for winning 1-0 against them in that stadium. And 3-0 last year in Coppa too  ieek

Very embarassing..............for genoa.
What Went Wrong...(WWW)

Indeed. Bulldozer of a performance from Inter. For anyone who has not seen Stankovic's goal have a good good look. 

Stankovic's goal was absolutely classic and for sure has to be the goal of the weekend, a one touch shot from centre making amelia look like a bafoon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy5cSDUo9ew

Well, better Inter then the fucking Rubentus. Fiorentina played great against them, maybe dark horses for the Scudetto? With Jovetic stepping up and Zanetti in the midfield the 4th spot should be the minimum for them.

Fiorentina are impressing me a lot, dangerous and not afraid to play their game against teams that are regarded as better than them. 

About your first point, usually I would totally agree. During the 90s I hated Juve, they won everything. But now Inter are doing the same, domestically at least. Four Scudetti in a row is enough, the league needs a new winner and as long as its not Rioma then I shall be satisfied.

yes.i agree.

This guy is a spam bot.

Atalanta are impressively winning udinese 3-1 away and bari beating chievo 2-0 away.

Catania   2 - 1   Cagliari
Chievo   1 - 2   Bari
Livorno   1 - 2   Palermo
Napoli   2 - 1   Bologna
Parma   1 - 0   Siena
Udinese   1 - 3   Atalanta
AC Milan   ? - ?   AS Roma

I wish lazio was one of the surprise teams that got a win away.

or any win at the moment

Yeah, any where and any win at the moment.

Roma leading milan at the moment...
very nice game and display by both sides.

Yep good game, still think Milan can get back into this, and they may have to turn to inzaghi for that

TEETH. Very 'fangerous' as you say  i-razz

Close penalty, hope for a draw to keep both of these shit teams in mud...

me too but looks like milan will win.

EPIIIIIIIIIC GOAL.

Teeth. pass. Duck. touch. Finish.  icool

Well if one team has to win better it be Milan, Pato has been much more consistent than zarate, he can be a playmaker/striker in one game where zarate seems like he can only pick one or the other.

Enjoyable game, Milan finally showing something in the league. Dinho was outstanding tonight, and Pato has recaptured form. Pato's goal, the build up and all, is absolutely worth a look

Glad milan won .. it was a great game to watch and the game was pretty even on both ends. Comparing Pato and Zarate is ridiculous. Pato is a finisher for one and more consistent. I think Zarate will be a great player, no doubt, but pato is on another level with messi.

Shit defense, more shitty mid and terrible att. That is the reality for the two of them, except Pato rest was little bid funny(Merda fk for example, slowdihno...).

For real? Rioma are complete shit but both are playing better then us in truth. Milan are suffering from shithouse manager that's for sure. I don't think as Lazio fans we are in the position to criticize other teams performance really iconfused

I agree, glad to see milan won, but its meaningless if we cant win. I mean we want our followers to lose to be front of them but they are losing, so do we.

Totally annoying. When we dont win, I cant exactly be happy that merda lost. ievil

Exactly. I actually wish Roma would get a lot less coverage on this website then they end up getting. Fair enough, they do fall under other Serie A matches, naturally. But too many people try to find solace in Rioma fucking up if Lazio themselves do the same.


I couldn't give a monkeys if Rioma win, lose, or draw. The only team's results that are important are Lazio's. I am getting a little tired of the things like

"Well, we lost, but so did damn merda" attitude. Fuck the merda. We have our own problems, our own life as a football club. I wish people would realise that.

Well put Theo, same here. But its nice to give Lotito break once in a while.

I'm currently watching Sampdoria vs. Bologna pretty exciting match. Sampdoria is currently smashing Bologna 4-0. Even though Bologna are playing with 10 men after Divaio got a red, they were already losing 3 - ZIP.

Lazio has managed to beat teams by the skin of their teeth but one thing we haven't seen in a very long time is an absolute anihilation which I can't remember since we beat teams in the beginning of 2008.

Sampdoria have earned their spot at the top of the table and proven with results that they are better than Lazio. I'm not a Samp fan but telling it like it is.

It's amazing. Which is why we should have beaten Samp while we had the chance. If they play average, or crap, you HAVE to beat them, because when they play like they should and are consistently, there's no point even turning up.

Latius I also think Samp are a great team.. .I am bewildered how some people on this forum won't give credit to other teams when it's due.

First 30 minutes or so were breathtaking, some absolutely world class finisher and set up play. For the league, its great to see Samp and Fiorentina up there and putting the 'big boys' to the sword. How long can it last? Who knows, but if they keep winning games like this without breaking sweat then it could be all season long especially as they have no European commitments.

Fiorentina are in CL.   With teams like Samp and Fiorentina it has more of a case that once they get to this level can they continue to invest for europe.  most of the time they get up in the standings its like hitting a brick wall for further progress. 

Really impressive win for Napoli today: they went and got points from Artemo Franchi, and actually deserved them, unlike us. I was quite open about wanting Walter Mazzarri... I guess Napoli, with some of their kick ass players too, can enjoy the fruits of his labour. 3 in a row for Palermo as well, very good side, should get top 10, and possibly Europa too.

And for the Scudetto, another lacklustre Juventus performance, but at least they won. I sure as hell don't want to see Inter win the Scudetto for the fifth time in a row. AC against Chievo tonight, Messi will distract me from watching that one, but I wish Milan well, they are on fire and it'll be a good game.

our beloved nesta gave milan 3 points against chievo with 2 goals and the second in the 90+ min!!

YEah I saw it too. They always been lucky bastards.

Can't agree with that. If Roma looses,that makes me happy. This is what I mean HATRED!

Well, your a muppet. Us real Lazio fans (ones that supports Lazio full time..... *cough* Aris ) put Lazio's results ahead of others. I'd rather Lazio win, if it meant Roma had to win as well. If Lazio lose, am I happy that Roma lose? I don't give a fuck. I think you'll find most people agree with me.

What the fuck? I won't put Lazio above Roma's lost. For Christ sake. I just said that if Roma looses that makes me more happy. If Lazio lose,I don't give a fuck about Roma.


As about being an Aris fan,it's not a shame. If you support a team from your youth,like I am with Aris,then you can't change it. Besides,I said it,I'm more a Lazio fan than an Aris fan. Being an Aris fan in Greece is different cause in the greek league it's like Calciopoli,the big 3(Olympiakos,PAO,AEK) won't let you be higher than them.


I am not gonna argue wih you of course cause I know myself and the people how know me personally that I am a die-hard Lazio fan. ;)


FORZA LAZIO.

Credit to Nesta last night, came up big when it mattered for Milan. Decent at the back as well. Pirlo though, the metronome, was just different class. The ball for Milans first goal on the volley with his left foot was just beyond world class, if there is such a level.

"if Roma looses, thats makes me happy" you say, but in the above quote you say you don't give a fuck about Roma. Contradiction.

I don't want to argue either, I'm just saying the facts. This is a Lazio website. Far too many people (and it coincidentally, always ends up being those that don't have Lazio as their only team) mention the bastard Merda. We have our own problems for heavens sake. My life is not affected one way or another if Roma have a good or bad season. What matters is that we beat them in the Derby, and that Lazio have a good season. It is not "die-hard" to constantly yap out loud in a Lazio forum, ROMA LOST, YES. The true Laziale out there (look around, there's a few) don't even mention Merda whatsoever in weekends. THAT, Leo, is die hard lazio.

Well said...
for some people (i don't mention one) a roma loss is as as important as a lazio win, but that's ridicolous in my opinion!

Honestly, if level of your Lazio love is lower than your roma hate, then there is problem. Of course, everybody is happy when they lost but when we lost, it doesnt matter what roma did for me, coz nothing can make me happy when we lost.

The biggest pleasure is when we win and roma lost. We have many problems to think and solve before looking what merda is doing. Wtf, should we be happy? I mean, " ok we are bad but at least so merda is." ???

I dont blame you LeoTheAkuma, so dont get this something aginst you, this is just my tought. If we think like that, I mean loking what merda is doing, it means we see ourshelves below them...

List of the things we should think according to importance:

1. Lazio, 2. Lazio, 3. Lazio, 4. Lazio,.....................100. Lazio................. then look others....

Forza Lazio 00

First most important thing is Lazio play well second win, third draw and after that any team we should be looking at are teams above us in the standings that they lose so it betters our standing.  Roma losing, well after the 7-1 Man Utd win most lazio fans were very happy about that.  On a local soccer show lazio is like a swear word, hearing the hosts gloat about roma is annoying as hell so there is always a bit of good seeing our biggest rival fail like maybe mention lazio for once. ievil  Right now though the team is in the shitter, bigger fish to fry like getting this squad back to winning and beat teams like Bari.   

After hearing all the shit Roma say about our BELOVED Lazio (What dumbshit Totti says), how can you not hate them?
So of course any real Lazio fan hates their guts and seeing them loose to Livorno with Ranieri in charge is very pleasing. One of Lazio's aim every season is to finish above their rivals, we can't do that if they play well and get results. This is normal, Juve fans like seeing Inter lose, as do Milan, and everyone in Italy likes to see Napoli lose. Football rivalries, gotta love them.

Dear Laziogimp, thanks for the lecture, but why not read what other people are saying?

None of us has said we don't hate Roma. None of us have said it isn't ok to hate Roma. What we are saying, is that Lazio come first. I , and people agree with me, fail to see how crowing about Merda losing when Lazio does the same has any purpose whatsoever. As mentioned by others, there are people on this forum that take more pleasure in Merda losing, and are less bothered about Lazio drawing or losing. What's "real" about that? Nothing.

Spot on Theo.

The only time I give a fuck about Merda is the derby. And ONLY then  iconstenrioma romerda

I'm getting pissed when I saw Lazio with its own problems and then someone say: Roma lost  i-beer, woooo and puts smile one his face.

To my dear Theodore

So are you honestly saying that you didn't grin just a little when you saw that Roma lost to Livorno? Didn't it make a little bit of the pain of us losing to Bari go away? Of course Lazio comes first and when we play like shit and they do as well it isn't as pleasing I'll admit that, but still when they lose I'm happy. (Maybe it's because I know Roma fans and it's fun to taunt them), I'm not happy we lost, I'm happy they lost.

It's just pleasing seeing your rivals lose. And don't give me any of this I only care about us, every Lazio fan likes to see Roma lose, we take pleasure from it.

Theodore? Theo is my full name, but I always found Theodore quite cool really  icool

Of course I grinned a little when I saw Livorno at won, but where we differ is that it did not take away the pain of losing to Bari. Infact that's all it was, a grin that lasted about 2-3 seconds. Afterwards, it was back to the churning stomach, broken heart, weird feelings in my brain.
Each to his own, LG, far from me to preach what people should or shouldn't do. But I agree with Jofo really, and Imper too, Merda mean the world to me when we play them in the derby and that we must beat them - the rest of the time it's indifference. I'd rather focus on things closer to home.

Perhaps you do make a decent point, as I do not have direct contact with Merda fans. And when I went to Rome, I did actually seek out the Rioma result that day, because I wanted to take the piss where ever I could.

UNBELIEVABLE NAPOLI SCORED TWICE AGAINST MILAN ON THE 89 AND 90+ SO FUCKING LUCKY BASTARDS!!!!!

U meant so fucking spirited bastards?
Riomma are doing terrible as well, southern teams are terrible this season iscarf3

I'm watching Inter vs Palermo tnite, anyone else? Looking forward to it, Palermo are a blast, and I hope Inter don't win the title this year.

GAME OVER 4-0 AND ONLY HT!!! ilol ilol

4-3?!!!!!!!
your shitting me!

GO GO GO GO PALERMO!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Mah! Inter VATTENE.

NT FROM PALERMO ANYWAY!!!

Terrific attempt. Who is this Abel Hernandez? Looks very useful.

Miccoli? World Class player at times, IMO.  icool

Stunning game. Shame Palermo fell to pieces at the end of the first half, real shame. Sick and tired of Inter really, games againt Milan and Genoa aside, they've struggled at times. At home to Bari, Udinese, even Catania saturday night should not of got the points that they did.

Two comebacks in as many games for the Partenopei  ieek

Great comeback, simply superb. Well done. We should have got Mazzari, I said as much at the time.  icool

Napoli have creativity in droves, Datolo, Quagliarella, Lavezzi. But, Hamsik, well, he is something special. Mazzari has in the space of four matches, against sides like Milan, Juve and Fiorentina, shown what a quality tactician he is.

Great ball movement and distribution helps the defence as much as the offence, Napoli can always surprise.  Parma are high up in the table so should be an interesting match at Milan this afternoon

I couldn't understand all the hype Juve were getting at the beginning of the season. Some were even saying serious CL contenders. It's a fact Inter are superior to anyone in Italy and Juve aren't close in terms of quality. On another note Napoli, kick ass squad but Donadoni was always a problem but with Mazzarri now they could be up there fighting for third place (and we finished above them last season  i-cry)

Great win for Napoli and stunning game by Hamsyk, Napoli will be fighting for a European spot, no doubt.
Juventus are shit (and I always claimed it)

milan/parma is looking very competitive in the early going

Milan improved considerably recently, perhaps Ronaldinho has something to do with it? Yet more assists tonight. 2-0, solid win against a very solid, top 10 destined Parma side. I think when we invite the Rosseneri to come and play next week, we're screwed!

Milan looked good but was also very impressed by how Parma played they had many very close chances throughout the game and never sat back.  The quality of Milan prevailed but considering Parma fresh from Serie B it was a good performance. 

Wow! Napoli beat Juventus. I thought napoli were going downhill too but they had things a lot tougher than we did. This is the same thing I was hoping Lazio to do to restore credibility, to beat 1 big team to show that we mean business and can compete at a high level.. unfortunately we did the opposite and lost to the smallest teams and now look like a team of pussies.

This is yet another team that we have to play and don't think we'll pull it off.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNs6LO_sql0

Napoli are lucky to have Hamsick .. that kid is amazing!


Yeah milan seemed to be picking up steam and not surprisingly will most likely pick up the top 2 or 3rd spot. I agree we're screwed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEiNNdNR4bs

After Donadoni was sacked, Napoli is getting better. But the thing attracting attention to me for 2 weeks is that Napoli know what Non Mollare Mai is. Both against milan and juventus, they never give it up and took what they wanted by coming back.

I have the same feelings with you Latius, thats something I want Lazio to do but..........

I watch a big of Giostra del Gol, and witness DeSilvsestri assist a goal and Bari almost overtake fiorentina. Looks like Bari means business .. they were ALL over sampdoria .. another Serie B team which has more of a future than Lazio.

Marchionni's goals for Viola were stunning, great pick up from Juve btw, but Mascara's goal for Catania in that one is a trademark belter, make sure you see it  bigrin

Bari are fantastic, unlike us, they have a Plan A and Plan B. They played attractive football against us, but grounded out a dogged point against Samp. Nearly got all 3 points too, with a penalty that wasen't, and a disallowed  goal on top of that. Huge credit to Bari, they have some good players. I'd take Alvarez and Rivas tomorrow if we were offered them.

I also watched a bit of Cagliari and have to say Nene and Matri were both very impressive.

Saw both of the chances Bari had .. can't believe he missed the penalty and not sure what happened when they scored at the end .. offside maybe ?

Yeah was apparantly offside but didn't get a good look at it.
Cagliari are performing as they are now, solely, and only, because of mister Allegri. It's all about the manager, he is able to get the best out of all of his players. Shame we ain't got that. Btw, I've thought this for a good season or so now, Biondini 4 Lazio? Terrific solid player.

Maybe De Silvestri is happy now with Fiorentina, but i never wanna see him play for lazio!
traitor i-mad

Nene was a quiet, but top signing in the summer for Cagliari.

Top scorer in Portugal for Nacional last season. Cagliari, much like Udinese, know how to find a player.

hey guys today i felt quite sick and was not able to watch the lazio game online. Instead I was lying down watching Viola vs. Catania. De Silverstri played very very well. He contested balls that were not even in his favor and were coming up with the ball. He ran the whole 90 minutes even with a half hour short a man. I didn't tune in in time to see the first Viola goal but the other two were both set up by De Silvestri. He was a terror on his flank and joined the rushes and almost had two goals which he should have finished both easy but didnt find the right touch on the ball on one and the other was blocked at the Catania defenders full stretch. I have to say I am very impressed by De Silvestri today and he looked like a last season Lichsteiner and/or perhaps better. A hard 90 minute runner and almost was involved with 4 goals today.

Any one else watch Atalanta v Juve. 2-5 in the end, with some super goals it has to be said. Melo, Diego amongst them. Three disallowed Juve goals,  as well. Combine that with 2 disallowed goals in Athletico v Real tonight, and ive seen 5 disallowed goals today. A personal record there.  i-razz

Yeah that was crazy, 7 goal game too!  Juve have been a weird team this year and so have the refs! 

We all know who was the reason he left  ievil

Now, Lotito cant say any excuse such as " At least merda lost as well ". Merda is up 0-1, joke ievil

Good. Because that gives some forum members a reason to focus on the matters at hand.  icool

What kind of refeere is that? I could able to watch a couple mins of that and Inter fans were always whistling him...

Theo, you know me bro, I always keep Lazio above merda and think like you at this point but its always better merda loses for sure... And not just we think in this way, I think merda fans dont say as well " at least Lazio lost "...

Was not referring to you - worry not  i-surp

Meh, we've been over this subject to death, let's not do it again.

Sneijder is on...Inter should win now.

Eto scored early and its good for Inter. Rossi is out btw and thats an advantage for them as well.

Some fantastic highlights this week: go onto this guys channel and watch them all.

I picked out these for the forum though, excellent 3rd goal by MdV. And isn't it great to see all the directors and presidents go crazy.
Proper funny  bigrin 1:10 onwards.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0A8D9Z0Y9k

hahaha, crazy finish by Di Vaio but how did that defender manage, with all that time, to clear it right back onto his foot?

Yeah poor defending there and thats Simone Kjaer doing that TR18, one of the highest rated young defenders in world football. To be fair, he is usually excellent but gifted it back to Di Vaio there.

Parma is competing well against Fiorentina 1-1 right now and looks like an intersting second half coming up. 

Yeah decent game going on there, fancy Fiorentina to pull through though. Final score? 2-1  icool

 iscarf3

Incredible what a goal 3-2 Parma

yeah yeah yeah laugh it up, but it looks like your gonna end up with no points in the prediction league also so i will rest satisfied  i-surp

credit to Parma though, they look superb

Yes they do.

But you suck at Pro  ilol

 i-beer

Congrats to Parma, though can't help feel that Fiorentina had one eye on there game with Lyon midweek.


I guess I do suck at Pro, but don't worry, nothing lasts  bigrin

What a game, one of the best of the season.   Parma were determined to win and played very well as a team for 90 minutes. no selfishness and all players pulled their weight.  Great save by their keeper at the end too very close call.  

Our budget and lotito's spending aside this is what we need from our players even if they face a better quality team we would  still be able to compete, hopefully balla had them all watching on tv.    

That was one hell of a team play. I'm happy for Parma, they sort of have similar history whit us  i-surp

Looking forward to the Genoa 'lanterna' derby. Always a colourful affair both on and off the pitch. Fancy Genoa to snatch the bragging rights here.

Did manage to catch a bit of Udinese v Livorno. Candreava is going to be a very good player, but Di Natale is a great player.

I'm watching the Genoa lanterna derby, the atmosphere's amazing, PK for Genoa!

This is definately an exciting derby as both teams are very strong and playing with heart. Genoa currently up by 1 but I think Samp will tie it up.

This is a great derby, got a bit of everything here. Genoa should be 2 perhaps 3 up, but Samp have a life line now Genoa are down to ten men.

2-2 please  icool

2-0 Genoa!

Come on Samp make a draw, Genua even got a red card...

Rossi just got sent off for Samp, I'm unsure about that ref...

2nd pk called for Genoa (scored)
And now big fight bigrin

Italy's finest!  icool

He really is.

Never mind.. that's what I call a Derby! Fun times.

Genoa got the win, deserved. Samp really never settled, never really asserted themselves on the game. Genoa have depth, something Samp don't have as much of. Much like any derby though anything can happen. Pretty much everything did in this one. Great game.

Atalanta scored to merda. Fuck YEAH!  iconstenrioma

Vucinic got the equaliser for rioma

Yes but Atalanta is fighting with us to get out of the last relegation spot

yeah, I cant say I will be upset if merda wins ievil What a shame, this summurizing how desperate we are ievil ievil

merda are winning against Atalanta and thats in our favour...

Huntelaar  ieek

Way to go son!

Latius you better change this toping in THE OTHER SERIE B MATCHES bro. Lets see how our next year opponents plays and discuss them.

Wow, man. For first time in my life I was happy milan scored. I bet money on them and if they didn't win it wouldn't be too pretty for me. :D

Yeah, great for Huntelaar last night. I thought his second finish was Klass  i-wink

Ronaldinho played very well also.

Wow Samp is really going into the shitter, 3-0 for Milan now.   Ever since Cassano had that problem with the fans the team seems to have struggled. 

Samp lack a goal threat unless it comes from Cassano. Will see if they make Europa League even, but they need some attacking investment, and perhaps defence, in January.

They're playing milan .. it's understandable . We got our asses handed to us 2 years in a row in the opening matches against them. Pato is untouchable. I really hope this Baretto kid turns out to be like him and not the 90% of the flops we get that are initially compared to some great named player.

Bubbles burst. They have little depth, say compared to a comparable rival for a top four spot like Fiorentina. They will still have a good season, and win plenty more games, but their city rivals should be an example to them in terms of the depth of their forwards, and midfield options.

Juve - Inter about to start. For me the best two italian clubs at this point. In terms of quality. Well screw them  iscarf3

Well they should be, but Juve have flopped of late. Time for their players to step up, else 11 points behind already? Surley that would be all for Juve's title hopes.

Terrible defending on Eto'o goal by Juve.

Meh, crap game and screw Juve or Inter. Sick of watching them, what have we got?

Ferrara, surely the only manager in the whole division who can make the league's best midfield create bugger all and one of the world's best playmakers (Diego) look like he belongs in the Allsvenskan.

Mourinho, yet another team he has that play crap football, and they only play half entertaining football with Sneijder. Without him, bore.

And in this game also is the leagues most overrated player. Balotelli. Seriously, a player needs more then a strong body and pace to become a world class player. There is nothing between the ears with that guy. The sooner he goes to Arsenal and joins the other overrated crap like Vela and Song Billong the better IMO.

I enjoyed it myself. Intensity, passion, handbags, great finish by Marchisio. He should get his passport ready for the world cup.

Agreed, very intense game. Especially at the end, Inter showed nothing tough. What can you expect when their key player is Stankovic.

You bloody people make me pull my hair out!  ieek


Since when can a game be praised for being intense? It's a derby of Italia, it's always going to be intense! It's a given, it's guaranteed!
All I saw was a boring, crap Inter having no ability or thrust to get themselves back into the game!


I've just had a huge conversation with Lazio365 about this. If people are willing to accept mediocrity because of futile things, go ahead! What's next?

" It wasen't a bad game at all, when I saw the ball it was perfectly round, very spherical indeed. And the referee wore yellow, fantastic!"

Edit: Deleted for not understanding  icool

I think the game was good. There were many interesting situations in both penalty areas. Classy performance from Juve and good from Inter. Maybe deserved victory for Juve. Unfortunately I bet on draw. :)

Jofo............... fgerhgethnbaerharehya rwy aeyar3qh yw h!!!!!!  ilol ilol ilol ilol ilol

Man we need to meet, get drunk, then you can see into my world... I didn't say that you..... forget it  i-beer




Look everybody, I'm not expecting el Clasico here... but Inter were not good. They were terrible! And Juventus were not good either! Even Ballardini could get Diego to do well! Diego has done nothing for weeks and weeks now!
Pitiful performance from the official two best teams in the league so says last year table. I expected much better football and greater desire from Inter to get an equaliser.

Yeah, it was huge, really really really huge. It was good as well so it wasnt too bad   i-razz

Im not gonna respond to this one though in depth, as ive done it ad nauseum tonight, in very good humour it has to be said i-surp. Ultimately, I enjoyed the game, especially the first half, which you sadly missed, as I think you would have enjoyed it.  i-wink.

BUSTED


To be honest I'm little afraid of your world  i-surp

Marchisio with a classy goal and a must win for Juve. But for me I really hate watching both of these teams. They play boring football and unfortunately show how crap Serie A is. Juve can kill Sampa 5-1 but in the next game they lose to Bordeux. Same with Inter. They stroll in the league but have trouble beating the likes of Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev.
But in the end a small victory for Juve, no way can they catch Inter.

I don't know what u all were expecting from them match. For me it was very interesting. There was everything in that match. And the football was good. And I personally prefer to watch teams who play tactically well, have good defences than fucking el classico team with crapy defences and all depends on the attack, no tactic. Fuck that. It was what I expected last night. Two equally match teams who are trying to outfox eachother. Nice match  i-beer

Neither do I to be honest. I'm clearly in cloud-cuckoo land to suggest that Juventus vs Inter could be more then just a chess match. What, with all their world-class players on the pitch? I'm crazy, absolutely stir crazy! You may as well ship me off to the mental institute.  icool

Wtf are u talking about???? Chess match!? go watch the fucking barcelona when u don't like this match. What exactly didn't u like about the match???? U want when a player is on the ball to skip past four or five players or what? like the fucking primiera. This is Italy

Do you actually care about Serie A, really? Do you not want the best for the league? A little history for you. Serie A had more goals then any other league a couple of seasons ago. Catenaccio is a rare thing nowadays! If you watched Serie A regularly for years then you would see times have changed. No longer defensive football primarily!
Laziogimp is right, Juventus and Inter are crap to watch! Who have I enjoyed watching this season? Napoli, Genoa and Samp, and of course Milan. Football, when all is said and done, is about good games, whether it's 0-0, 1-0, 2-1 or 3-3, I couldn't care less. I have low expectations for, example, Livorno vs Atalanta... so when two of Italy's best teams come together, with Diego, Melo, Marchisio, Eto'o etc...  is it not right that I can expect a good game? And by good game, I mean some chances created? Inter were terrible second half! no quality going forward to try and get an equaliser. Doesn't matter what league or teams are involved... when all is said and done, Inter were terrible! I wouldn't be a follower of Serie A football for 10 + years if I didn't like the tactical side of Italian football games... but the reality is this - Ferrara and Mourinho are managers that make their teams boring to watch! Mourinho espeically, although i cannot speak about Porto, also made Chelsea ridiculously boring as well.

Of course I fucking care about Seria A. As long as I can remember I watch Italian football. I just don't see what u didn't like about the yesterday match. Two evenly matched sides. Juve has always played this football. Always! They play for a goal and they close the game. Mourinho is the same. So before the match if u were expecting 3:3 (not impossible of course but highly unlikely) before the match, well, excuse me but u don't know the Italian football. The game was stylish, both managers were trying to get over each other. The game was good. Not incredible but good.

This conversation is almost over. You are now getting ridiculous  i-beer


Where do I say that I demanded a 3-3? Tell me the quote.

I clearly say that scorelines don't bother me, it's the game itself that count.

And forgive me, Bluerulezzz, but you tell me of a football game whereby managers don't try and get one over each other?!!! It's the whole point of football, managers trying to outdo each other and win a game against each other!

I am not criticizing Serie A, I am not criticizing Italian football culture, I am not criticizing games that don't have 20 goals in them.

What I am saying is that Mourinho is incapable of getting Inter to play good football.. that much is obvious and it's fact. All the Italian press have lambasted Inter for being boring since Mourinho has taken over. It's nothing to do with the league, it's to do with Mourinho! And as for Ferrara, I expect much better. He has one of the world's best playmakers (Diego) and more often then not he is in the 'Makelele' role!  ieek


If you have nothing else to contribute, you don't have to bother, because your losing the plot a bit. It seems to me your knowledge of Serie A is limited to stereotypes you have read on the internet. Juventus have not always been a sit back on a 1-0 team. The days of Vialli, Inzaghi, Davids and further back still with Platini etc, Juventus were goal machines!

Seriously.. this conversation is turning into a joke   iscarf2

Dude, I have never said Juve is a sit back team. I just said they score 1:0 and they are closing the game.No one can deny that. Everybody remebers the team of Zidane, Davids, Inzaghi and so on. But that doesn't mean they weren't playing that way, especially against the other "big" teams. The time of Platini is something different. And u can't say for me I stick with the stereotypes, cause as I mentioned earlier I watch the Calcio as long as I remember myself. U don't need to get personal..
U don't liked the game: ok. I personally found it intriguing. And again: what's the problem with that? And btw I think Mourinho is a great manager. I don't care if the people are saying he's way of leading the match is boring. He is achieving great things everywhere he goes. And I like his style

You like Mourinho's style? That's where we differ. His dominance of Serie A, well.. Mancini did the same, but playing better football!

But enough's enough...  Now can we hug and make up?  ilol

Huge game later. Trying to watch Palermo vs Cagliari and Napoli vs Bari but my mind is distracted for later on  iscarf1

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug! How cute! :D

I'm watchin Genoa - Parma but my mind is on Olimpico. Same case. Call me crazy but I still think we can beat them  pyro

Fiorentina, genoa, samp, parma and mid table teams have put in some great games this season because they have had to put in extra effort to be where they are and can never sit back in a game or rely on the bench to make the CL or europa league spot.

Watching Fiorentina-Atalanta, Montolivo and Vargas have been outstanding.  Montolivo connects the team whether its gila, santana or vargas on the wings.  Without the distribution and vision of passing they would be broken off just as foggia, zarate and rocchi have been.

Also this morning there are some relegation battles going on in the teams below us, losing the derby could officially put us in the red.

  

Napoli game  icool


Bari had two controversial red cards.. but all I can think about is Quagliarella!

Just like it meant the world for Paolo to score for us, the same for Quag. He went absolutely mental when he got the winner... as to be expected really.
Would I like to be in a dark alleyway with Quag after he scores a winner for his home town team, fuck would I  bigrin

Mega win for Napoli when all is said and done - Bari are a super little side with pace and good CB's.

Napoli currently beating Cagliari. I would say these are both rising and equal teams which makes this game a good watch.

I am ten minutes away from 160 quid.. that's a LOT of money  i-beer

Come on 2-2!!!!

OMG Cagliari came back and tied it up in no time.. what a nice goal by Matri.

FUCKING JOKE. FUCKING JOKE. 160 quid down the drain, thanks Jeda you cunt.  ievil ievil ievil ievil ievil

Ah, I genuinly sorry you didnt get the money Theo, shame. Mother of all comebacks happening here.

Wow .. Cagliari make a comeback from being down 2-0... We should just sell all our players and buy Caglari's .. at least we'd have something to work with.

Bari beaten Rube 3-1! Wow! Bari are a great little side.. no doubt about that, but, it's inexcusable for Juventus to get like that... Diego, Melo, etc etc. Incredible.

Mancini in for Ferrara? Has to be done surely...

wow, theo, major loss for u. I know what u r feeling now. Before couple of week three diferent matches failed me in the 90th minute or after that in 6-7 days time. It was pretty ugly.

As for Juve Ciro Ferrara is definitely a goner after that match. Great Bari. Wish we were on their place :)

Bari have been incredible this season, and it was a hell of a game. Ferrara's had it. I thought 3-1 flattered Juve, could have been 5. Mancini would be the odds on option you would think but Hiddink has been mentioned as well, and also Sven. Imagine that.

Isn't Sven coaching some second tier club in England, he has had a bad run it must have lowered his salary.  Bari are up in 5th this team has something right from opening day drawing with Inter.  Juve fuck up in a short time and coach is already going out the door because failure is unacceptable at most clubs.  Cagliari too today shows you can have success on a budget   

We've seen other teams have their shining moment taking out the giants. Bari has had an impressive season. This is just more depressing to know that yet another Serie B team has surpassed us in quality and i think we're passed calling it luck. I agree cagliari successfully proved what lotito thought he did .. that you can have a good team on budget. Unfortunately you also need brains and a heart which he doesn't. I hope his merda ass leaves us soon too!

Just some perspective here. When we lost to Parma, Bari and Cagliari there was wide scale and exagerated renting of clothes and gnashing of teeth. People reacted like we'd lost to a 9 man Livorno by four goals. It turns out that Bari and Parma are good teams - these losses weren't that embarassing after all (not that i liked them any) espescially if you consider that against Parma we were down to ten and early. All of this indicates to me that it wouldn't take a great deal to turn this team around. If Lotito cab wake up and make a couple good moves, I think this team can have a good second half. None of this absolves anyone, players, coaches or owner from the disaster of the first half, just putting some perspective on this.

By the way, I will be surprised to see Cagliari, Bari or Parma where they are now at the end of the season. Just like Samp, they have benefited by being better prepared earlier (credit their coaches and staffs) and obviously by the element of surprise.

There are 7 teams all at 24 points up to 5th place.  considering the standings are so even in the mid pack and everything sort of cancels each other out for a lead we are 8 points behind 5th before the merda/samp kickoff.  You put a new coach in and a few signings in the market and you can really get back up into contention in a hurry if you want to.   

I think Palermo has really emphasized what a new coach brings to a team.  I am not saying that Rossi should be back or really did anything great to get that 2-0 win over Milan but that a new coach can really bring a kickstart to a sliding team.


 

Credit to Palermo, back to back victories, and even though Milan aren't brilliant, they are a very very difficult side to beat for the past two months.. Palermo have done well...they have the players to do much much better then they were doing. No doubt that Rossi is a capable manager, but everyone knows his time had run out with us.


Your right about the tightness of the league, Lazio should absolutely be a part of that! But going into 2010 it doesn't look like happening, with our next game away to Inter and the team above us Udinese with a home game against Cagliari, which I expect them to win.. so we'll be even more cut off.
I'm not letting any Genoa victory change my opinions on players/team/president/manager. We are not going to achieve anything with the current setup. I very much doubt we will get the reinforcements we need, but even if we did, Ballardini is not the man to make them work. Unless we get rid of him we'll be fighting for 12th- 16th place all season!

Stunning win for Palermo. Watched it after the Lazio game and Milan were just plane wasteful in the first half, and Palermo ran the show for the first 15 minutes in the second and that was all it took. Miccoli was absolutely on top form, watch the build up for the second goal. Great stuff.

Table is so tight from 5th to 13th. Will be interesting to see which teams build on this, and which don't. After watching Samp 0-0 Roma, Samp may not be building on this. Look short of ideas and are suffering at the moment.

Samp look down but so did Genoa today, thats why its packed they go up and down.  Roma however was not so far above us in points and now is competing for a CL spot with all the others.  When you look back at the last few seasons Serie A has been building towards this scenario for a while now and we have not prepared for it by standing still each year while all the others are moving forward   

@ 365

I watched the first half on bet365 with no comms.... gave up after that, game sucked anyway.. but trying to watch a game without Comms is like masturbating with the left hand.. you should be enjoying it but it's just doesn't feel right  ilol

 ilol

Who did you have for the Lazio comms today though? I managed to have an afternoon with Paul Visca.  i-wink

Yeah same... not sure how, but I did!

To be honest he sounded disappointed for Genoa.. I must do some research into who he supports  i-wink

What the fuck happened with Calcio today. Some unbelievable results including our own.  i-beer

Heh. Most of the tipsters were giving our match 1. So it can't be counted as a surprise. After all we are pure class  bigrin :D

Serie A has taken a turn in the last two years. I do believe that the top teams are not in Serie A anymore but it is the most unpredictable and well balanced. This weekend as an example goes to show that anything can happen. This seasons is full of surprises even though they didn't work out in our favor, we've seen teams that have had a complete turnaround and newcomers show they can compete with the best of them. Teams like Bari, Parma, Cagliari, Palermo, Samp, Chievo, Napoli .. who we'd probably assume were lesser teams .. have proven otherwise and shown great performances, surprises and are taken things serious.

As much as I wanted Delio out .. he would be a breath of fresh air right now compared to the clown we have as coach. What an amazing boost for palermo and Delio to beat Milan 2-0.

I added both article and video .. thought this was funny .. immature on both ends.


Lavezzi fined and banned     
Tuesday 15 December, 2009
The League's disciplinary commissioner has fined Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi €10,000 and banned him for one match after his outburst on Saturday.

The 24-year-old Argentina international deliberately kicked a ball at Cagliari boss Massimiliano Allegri who appeared to be wasting time towards the end of the game between the two sides.

The score was 3-2 to Cagliari at the time when Lavezzi was sent off having already been substituted. Napoli managed equalise in the 96th minute through Mariano Bogliacino, keeping the team unbeaten under Walter Mazzarri.

Lavezzi will now miss Napoli's final game of 2009 against Chievo, who came back to beat Fiorentina 2-1 at the Bentegodi on Sunday.

Napoli currently lie 11th in Serie A, just four points behind fourth placed Parma.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orEONL8G-Fg

Lavezzi has temperament issues. Hes the same player that had an altercation with an officer in Naples which ended with his girlfriend wipping the officer with her belt. Strange. Great ending to that game though, 3-3.

I couldn't say that Allegri didn't deserve it.

hahahaha nice! gj Lavezzi!  i-beer

What are people watching this afternoon? I really fancied Genoa v Bari but snow says otherwise... Napoli v Chievo should be a blast instead.

Juve/Catania
Already 1-0 for Catania ieek

^




 i-razz

Elsewhere, shits and giggles in Livorno Samp. Nelson Rivas scored. Hells teeth, you know your in a rut when that complete jack ass of a defender does something  bigrin

The juve catania game is hilarious.  The juve ultras are pissed off bug time and Catania dead last are all over them.  AT one point one of the Catania players on the bench went to the touchline to complain and Mihjlovic yelled at him and pushed him away, the guy almost fell over, that attitide would have been great here 

not very good news... Livorno leading...

And Catania scoring agian! Wow, impressive! Well done, Sinisa!

Great job Sinisa, you just ended Ferrara's carreer as Juve coach i-razz

Haha!

Catania winning is not great for Lazio.. but it's even worse for Ferrara. FANTASTIC! Juve failing epically. Nice I like.  icool

Also Livorno beat Sampdoria. 1 more result not good for Lazio.

Watched Rioma 2-0 Parma. Shame. Parma under the kosh most of the game, and paid the price. Shame they didnt get forward more and put Rioma's shakey defence under more pressure.

 fuck if these teams can cause upset's, why can't we with a little luck, i'm thinking of a win agains't inter.
 
 Juventus 1 - 2 Catania
 
 Livorno 3 - 1 Sampdoria
 
 ASS Rioma 2 - 0 Parma
   
 

If we win against Inter it would be hell of a round. I mean look everywhere the surprises are not one or two... But Maurito, Maurito is a big miss for the squad..

Juve won at Parma and Ferrara lives for another week.... have to say I didn't think they would.. with Hiddink on the horizon and the axe above his head, Ferrara did good.


Napoli won in Bergamo... now if only we can do that we'd be going places. Palermo sitll haven't lost under Rossi and getting a point at the Marassi is never to be under-appreciated.

Did Cribari actually play today btw?  bigrin

Yes^^

Here's a funny article:
"The Tuscan side's coach Alberto Malesani wants to improve the team's defensive woes, and believes that Cribari could be the person to help his side avoid relegation and stay in Italy's top league."

Cribari didnt' play.

Ferrara will still get the axe i think with one little screw up.

fiorentina and napoli still on fire and as i've said before have surpassed us royally in quality and ambition to constantly improve their team.

Delio > Ballamerda.

I didn't see him on the starting lineup on eurosport .. i guess he came in afterwards ?

your right, from football-italia

Siena: Curci; Rosi, Cribari, Brandao, Del Grosso; Vergassola, Codrea, Jarolim (Jajalo 46); Reginaldo (Calaio' 54), Paolucci (Ekdal 70), Maccarone

For all we know it was all Brandao's fault  ilol

Although to be fair Cribari does tend to make acceptable defenders or worse look ten times worse. He made Rozenhal look piss poor at times.

Still Ballamerda even after a 4-1 win Latius?



I agree. Thank god we're on the same page as always.  icool

I stand by my point that Delio > Ballamerda.

Since delio started as coach of palermo:

2-1 against Cagliari
2-0 against AC Milan pure evidence
1-0 against Siena
1-1 against Samp

Enough said. we've either tied or lost to any of those teams.

About Milan, I always look forward to the game after Lazio so I can chill the fuck out and not care what happens.

I do have a little soft spot of respect for Genoa. They have a manager/president combo to die for, and strength in depth to boot.
But Milan I do enjoy watching, more so then Inter and Juve. And it's welcome again Mr Beckham!

I admit... I don't mind Beckham at all  bigrin


What I mean is... any Englishman who plays abroad I love. Any English footballer who challenges himself to achieve something in a foreign league away from the ghastly EPL and their ghastly 'cushti' astronomical wages and predictable and safe and boring direct football gets my respect. Besides, without Gazza playing for us, I'd never be here.

Anyone else watching Milan Genoa tonight? I'm expecting a couple of goals and a lot of fun.

Just finished watching Parma v Juve. Juve lucky to get anything in all honesty, stupid own goal from Castellini. Big win in a tough ground, but once Parma equilised they were better and should have forced the issue. Juve hanging on for their lives at the end.

It all started so well for Genoa  ilol


Ambrosini had the best game I've ever seen from him. Teeth was exceptional, and of course so was Borriello (Altohugh I hate his fucking ego... size of a garbage truck)
Beckham was good too. Good game!

suazo 2 goals as well for the new signing.  Milan are really picking up steam now.  Agree about Borriello's attitude but what a turnaround, I think he has 2 scissor kick goals this year already.  Defense and Mid-Field were great.  Nesta still one of the best defenders in the Serie A.

Certainly was an entertaining game, and without Pato for Milan as well. Impressive.

Conte gone at Atalanta. That didnt last long did it. I wonder if he wanted to avoid his verbal contract of coaching for free for the next two years if Atalanta went down, because they look like a side in real trouble.

 
Apparantly he got some serious abuse - possibly even a slap to the face by a fan. I dont blame him at all, he got 13 points with a team that STILL relies on Doni.I dont think he will be tarnished too much by this.

Speaking of slapping, there was an incident at a turin restaurant whereby a group of masked ultras barged in on david di michele's surprise birthday party and literally slapped all the players in the face and hurled abuse before they got kicked out. Mamma mia ieek

Unbelievable. Siena leading against Inter with 5 minutes by 3-2 to go and they end up loosing 4-3. I knew Sneijder would score before he even took that free kick, and to be fair he had a great game. Siena though had Inter on the back foot for most of the second half, deserved something from the game. Inter were shambles at the back. Really was hoping they would loose.

Poor Cribari... this seems to happen to him over and over again.

Hehehe...  bigrin

Mourihno's Inter is not a champion side.

Bari next for them, away. 50,000 screaming Bari fan and an excellent side in Bari themselves I believe will see off Inter next week. Siena should have won, can't believe the last 5 minutes. My Jaw's still open in disbelief. Sneijder though was world class, 2 stunning free kicks and a glorious assist for Milito. Great game, and Maccarone's first goal was superb. He's scored some screamers of late, that any forward in world football would be proud of. If Siena go down, then he will be hot property. 

I wish, but I think the title is over. 11 point gap ATM? Sure Milan should win in Turin tomorrow to shrink it but it's never guaranteed. It's why I hate Inter really... they are just a machine. When Siena were 3-2 up I was thinking, meh, I bet Inter will get something from this game. No surprise to me at all. I never expect Inter to lose games nowadays, whenever they drop points it's a shock to me. Whether it's a mentality thing or whatever I dunno, but Inter domestically are hard as nails. It's the CL where I always expect them to suffer.... and I enjoy it  bigrin

It does feel like that doesnt it. But I think next week against Bari they will have trouble, especially if they defend like that.

If it was any other team then Inter I'd agree with you. But there's no doubt in my mind Inter will triumph with a comfortable 2-0 win or something. Whenever there's a slight element of doubt for Inter in anyway shape or form, and we start to think ifs buts and maybe's... for example when the points gap gets shrunk to the low single figures... and finally I start to write Inter off... then Inter always prove it wrong. Every time, for the past years.

Yeah, thats true and tonight is proof of that. Is it over? Well maybe, probably. Nonetheless, Milan must beat Juve and go into the derby with Inter without dropping points. A title race would be nice.

In all honesty and you know this, the title race is of lesser consequence to me but obviously it would be far better for Inter not to win AGAIN... plus I guess it does get exciting if Lazio are 14th and going nowhere then I can focus on something else... Problem is (and results have shown this) is that when pressure is applied domestically to AC, they crumble. They were favourites for the first derby since Inter started poorly and look what happened. After some glorious streak of points they took on Palermo and everyone expected a comfortable win, didn't have it. So it's a lose lose really, put Milan in a winning position and they'll likely fuck up. Don't, and Inter are too far ahead.

(This would of course be different if Juve had a 'proper' coach. Hiddink would get them a Serie A title I have no doubt about it, such is the magic touch he has to do with such things. I also expect that Leonardo's inexperience of chopping and changes systems so much at the start of the season and panicking after the Inter defeat has cost AC the chance this time round)

Napoli won AGAIN.
Palermo won AGAIN.
Viola won AGAIN.


We ae now well and truly left behind!

Mazzari has worked miracles down there, stunning job so far.

I bet you taped it. Boh?  i-surp

Sort of Boh  bigrin. Taped Viola v Bari on ESPN but the game kept on flashing up the scores all the time. Happens every time I do it.

Juve v Milan!



Go Milan!

Fuck Rube  romerda

Fuck both sides! Draw!  i-beer

They'll never be a draw in this one. Juve are bare shit. It's brilliant to see  bigrin


Amauri looks like an extra from Mel Gibsons "Apocolypto." He is playing like one as well.

Poulsen is Baronio's brother from another mother. Shit.

And the goal was defending that Siviglia and Cribari would be proud of.


Rube 2010 - Disgrace to Rube of old.  romerda

Filipe Melo, the biggest flop this season. Considering that, Lotito might get interested in him.

Yep. Under a good manager he is a great player, like he was at Viola. Ferrara is a clueless fuck that is not a million miles away from Di Biasi, Camolese or Ballamerda level.

Woeful defending on the goal, beyond woeful infact if there is such a place. Went through three Juve players and the keeper. Milan far more assured everywhere really.

This should be all from Ferrara surely.

 ilol


Fucking Rube!


Dear oh dear. Worst Juve team I have ever seen, and been following Italian football for 10 + years. Helpless and completely hapless. Canna past it, Del Piero past it. Shitness everywhere. Surely Hiddink is the way to go now?


There's some great action elsewhere tonight. Mali came from 4-0 down to draw 4-4 against Angola in ANC... Messi masterclass in La Liga..

But to see Ciro Ferrara get his ass handed to him by another inexperiencd trainer? Priceless!  i-smile

Well surely thats it for Ferrara. Shambolic defending on every goal. Credit to Milan though, they exploited this weakness to the full, and Ronaldinho had an excellent game also. Boriello held the ball up well, but it would be nice if Huntelaar got more than 5 minutes. And to think they were without Pato and Seedorf.

Hiddink would be an excellent coup for Juve and the league in itself.

Before the match I thought Milan would win but after a few "consultations" with tipping sites I put my money on the draw. Bad decision :) Remind next time to listen to my intuition

BTW FOLKS


Subscribe to this guy's youtube channel (If you haven't already) I've done since start of season and not missed a single goal.


http://www.youtube.com/user/mfSerieATIM#p/c/7D08BAFD20C5A2FE/11/alrhI9g-FtY

He uploads Italian sky sports highlights packages for every single game. Forgot to tell everyone else about it until now. Features Italian comms too.

Coppa Italia match in this case, Milan 1-1 Novara currently. Serie C1 side Novara coming from behind to level, 7,000 fans made the trip with their town coming to a virtual standstill for the day. Guess some there is magic in the cup. 

I'm watching it at the moment. What a strike by Flamini.  ieek

Fantastic goal. Credit to Novara though, made it really tough for, even if it was a mixture of youngsters and second string players for Milan.

Fİorentina Chievo is going perfect. Fio is up 3-2 min is 89  now. ı am just following from livescore.com but will watch the highlights for sure...

Today:

Cagliari vs Livorno

Bari vs Inter


I'll certainly give the latter a bit of a go... but as for the first game, the prospect of rubbing stinging nettles over my genatalia is a more exciting prospect ATM.

Tough matches for the bet lovers as myself... Won't put money on neither. Or maybe surprises Bari - Inter 1 and Cagliari - Livorno X? Anyone?

Edit: And Cagliari scores in the first minutes. Maybe not such a good idea for draw :D

^

Yeah, I'm glad I chose to ignore the nettles option  bigrin


Btw. Inter will win tonight. 100% convinced of it. Quote me if I'm wrong.

Sure? Even with Bari's home record? I'm not so sure

^

Call it a gut instinct. That has won me 100's of pounds in the past.


Unfortunately I only have £2.15 in my account at the moment, so I can't have a bet myself.  i-wink

U make me think very hard... 1.90 for Inter is not bad... Oh fuck it why not bet on Inter. If u're so sure :P

If you want even more money, go for a 0-2 scoreline too.



BUT... don't you dare hold me responsible...  i-beer

Haha. Of course not. But I don't dare to go 2:0

 I'll be gutted if I end up being spot on, on the grounds I didn't have enough money to go myself... FUCK.

Last time I bet was £20 on Cagliari 2 - 2 Napoli. I was a couple of minutes away from getting £160. So I'm probably due a spot on score to be honest.

Best of luck. iscarf2

10x :)

I think it's safe to say that Livorno suck away from their tin can of a stadium  ilol

 ilol
Cagliari are outplaying them.
Dont forget Barcelona/Sevilla tonight Theo icool
PAYBACK TIME

Cagliari much the superior side. First touch goal from Jeda to boot.

^

Yo, you called it last week. What on earth has happened to Inter's defence? Samuel and particularly Cordoba look like complete clowns! I think Santon should be getting some time IMO.

I think Chelsea will comfortably knock then out of CL. I read today that Chelsea won 7-2. I know it's the shitty EPL and ghastly defending etc.. but.. regardless of the league not many teams score 7 in one game. Inter are in trouble in that game IMO!

Inter demonstrated some kind of resolve coming back from 2 down, but I think it was more of a case that once Pandev got one back Bari began to get nervous. Great point for Bari, deserved it. Much better in the first half especially and the first 25 minutes of the second.

I agree about your points on Chelsea, but Bari away is tough for anyone I think, some of the movement and technique of the Bari forwards was excellent.

Onus on Milan now to close the gap on Inter before next weeks big one now.

It is a tough place to go, but I don't think Bari.. well, it's obvious.. that Bari didn't have to do much for their goals.
Tbh I really expect Milan to take Inter - Inter seem really disjointed somehow and it's only their mentality that has got them points in recent weeks, ability wise at the back they have looked less then adequate.

But not taking anything away from Bari. Undoubtedly story of the season. They really are in a justified league position and can rightly claim to be better then some more experienced and 'bigger' sides!

inter bari was one crazy match today. I have seen that first PK waved off all season, the seconde one was just dumb. I don't know if it was more Inter under performing, but bari looked amazing the first half

The bet didn't work so well :D Well, next time...maybe... :)

Sorry, I feel a little bad for you. At least I said that Inter would score 2 right? I'm so glad I didn't have the money to be wrong this time.  i-smile

Hahaha. Yep, Inter scored 2. And np I have a head on my shoulder, who can make decisions :)

At current standings Atalanta at 16p has 1 game at hand which they will play Wednesday vs Bologna at 19p also 1 game at hand which could possibly have us 1 point above relegation. 

Napoli vs Palermo should be a great match this afternoon.  Juve has slipped to 4th and may easily end up out of CL soon while Roma starting off this season poorly almost on par have now vaulted into 3rd i-mad

I'm looking forward to it as well. It's a pleasure watching teams who

[ Have ambitious presidents
[ Have good managers
[ Have quality players throughout the team, espeically in midfield


And to top it all off... it'll be nice to watch teams who play at Lazio's ex level... it's very much a case of
"This is what we used to be like"


EDIT: Derby del Sud? More like Derby del Dud . Both teams defended well, but the ref ruined the game with constant stop starting. What a waste of my time. Mah!

Ronaldinho is super amazing against Siena this week, let's buy him  i-razz

This was really a painful weekend since we lost big to a near relegation team the merde triumphed at the olimpico over a stronger team with Luca Toni scoring twice and doing exactly as I expected, and i'll bet he'll be scoring consistently as well. Our rivals are 3rd from the top and we're potentially 3rd from the bottom. It's an absolute nightmare season.

Its a total nightmare of a season, your right. Bologna and Atalanta play midweek and that will compound our misery further as its guaranteed that at least one of the teams below us will pick up points. Wonderful.

Genoa v Bari, and Bologna v Atalanta about to kick off at 18.00 CET, for anyone wanting to watch either its on bet365.

Bologna/Atalanta is the big one today before the coppa game, hope for a draw.

I would say Bari aren't joking at all! Away to Genoa and only after 5 minutes 0:1 wow. I wish we were them  bigrin No, seriously what a season for Bari. Fair play to them

Genoa are falling down the table like a sack of shit. It's bewildering.

Di Vaio 2 goals 2-0 Bologna.   Bologna will now leap over us.  Great goals on both one from a free kick.

Manfredini just scored 2-1 now

This game is turning into a battle, exactly what our game on the weekend should have been like

Bologna-Atalanta: this is turning into a match, we might just get the draw we are looking for

3 of the 4 goals have been absolutley superb, what a battle.  Draw is perfect but close to call.  Chevatron on loan from sivilla was a great pickup for atalanta. 

Draw. I will eat my nails off! I should have bet on draw. Damn it!

I have already bet for that and 2.5 goal below for genoa, only arsenal left for 153€ i-beer

nice dude! good luck with that!

yeah but fucking arsenal cocead a goal at 7 min. ievil

Oh, man Catania are ahead of Parma. Since Sinisa is there the things are working well for them

^

Agreed. Catania all over Parma, they should be 3-0, but missed a pen and hit a post. 1-0 HT

We missed a trick not getting Sinisa, it's more obvious the more I watch Catania. He gets his players UP for every game , chasing every ball, it's quite something. Playing very well, and if they win, they move to one point behind Lazio, which puts (even more) pressure on us for tomorrow.

Indeed BlueRulezzz. He's galvanised the squad, as most new managers do even if only for a limited period. Im hoping Parma come back for obvious reasons.

I'll copy and paste what I said earlier and just tweak a few things. Can't get my post unnoticed  i-wink

Catania all over Parma, they should have been 3-0 at HT, but got their 3-0 at FT anyway. Mamma mia.

We missed a trick not getting Sinisa, it's more obvious the more I watch Catania. He gets his players UP for every game , chasing every ball, it's quite something. Played very well and to be honest looked more convincing for 90 minutes then in any of Lazio's 90 minutes all season!
Now they move to one point behind Lazio, which puts (even more) pressure on us for tomorrow. I actually don't mind as it SHOULD mean Balla gets his finger out of Lotito's ass to try and motivate the team.

I watched one of their games over a week ago a forget against who but when one of his players went crazy on the touchline because of a bad call Mihjlovic practically threw him away almost falling over.  I read comments from the catania players who have said stated the turn of success has been fully attributed how Mihjlovic acts and prepares them for games.  Brings real motivation.. Tactics is only one aspect of coaching and though he may be new with limited experiece he can still motivate.  Ball can;t do either thing right

for crying out loud. Whats with as merda and their late results. Fire pubes on As Merda scored in extra time to give them the win. just watching them celebrate after the game made me ill.

Late winners aside its the fact that they are a financial mess, started out poor in 14th for a long stretch and now clearly ahead in CL qualification while going into the knockout phase of EL. 

JUVE are a complete wreck we better get something out of next weeks match icool

I was so sure Juve were going to win that game. They were playing amazing. Merde of course have to pull of a win keeping them in prime position while we wither away in relegation.

I never watch, derby aside, when I think Merda are going to win. Tonight I didn't watch.

The only other managerial story that matches 'how the hell is Ballardini still in charge' is... 'how the hell is Ferrara in charge!' To think Hiddink could be theres and not Liverpool's ... but for some fuckwitted reason all these losses haven't put Ferrara on the dole. It's getting ridiculous. Ah well, keep him for another week so we can go there and get something.

Sadly Rioma were confident from the start, because Juve are a dead dog at the moment. A wonderful Del Piero goal aside, they were wasteful.

Buffons sending off gave me a laugh though, talk about taking one for the team. Didnt really even wait for the red card, just started walking off the field.

Yes, lets hope Ferrara stays for one more week. Home advantage is no advantage for Juve at the moment.

Amazingly, Cosmi has resigned from Livorno.

So that is YET ANOTHER manager that has bitten the dust. Apart from ours. Ludicrous.

Derby?  ilol


Fun game. Even though I'd prefer Milan to win I take a lot of pleasure in seeing Marco "It's all about me" Borriello have a stinker.
Whereas Diego "I will never leave Genoa but will leave Genoa anyway" Milito scored a good goal.
I don't have faith in Leonardo to do what is truly required to win this match - take off Pirlo (awful) or Gattuso (worse) and bring on Huntelaar. Good game anyway. Sneijder was a damn fool.

Yeah, good game.

Sneijder, give the lad a hand  i-wink. Total moment of madness from him. Great finish from Milito on his weaker foot as well.

I think Milan will get back into this, but they need two forwards on imo. Boriello is just so isolated with Beckham and Ronaldinho stuck to the wings. So, as you say Theo, roll on the hunter.

^
Do you reckon I'll get a straight red for ironically applauding Ballamerda's coaching abilites?

I should be alright. I'll give it a go.


*claps*

Haha. Yeah, Balla would probably miss it though. Slumped up in the dug out, half asleep as two of his players warm up for 45 minutes.

Pandevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv stend1900 stend1900 stend1900

Too bad he doesn't play for us anymore. He made an immediate impact on Inter's play.
And someone had to bring Milan to the ground.  bigrin

watching the milan derby, hate to bring it into mine again. pandev is pretty amazing at times

And Leonardo must be some kind of an idiot I guess. Ronaldinho missed not few penalties this season and now he continues to take the penalties. It serves u right when u don't use your brain.

Exactly. So quite why some nobhead spazzed over his goal and put "since 1900's" next to it is bewildering.


Anyway, great game  ilol

But Leonardo is a total douchebag. Need goals... what to do.. let's bring on the cavalry... say... Seedorf and Wankulovski? WRONG. What a numbnutz. Huntelaar made an impact when coming in, so why the last 10 minutes again? Fool.

Milan won't ever win the scudetto until they get a proper manager in.

Btw.. Ronaldinho has also scored many pens this season... that wasen't a bad pen at all, just a stunning save from Cesar.

Well I must correct u either Theo. If I may :P Jankulovski was one cause Antonini had an injury :)
And Ronaldinho shouldn't take penalties....ever. He can score against weaker sides when the result is under no question. When there is pressure he isn't good. He has weak mental attributes so to say :)

Awful keeping by Dida for Pandev's goal. Barely moved. Wasnt as if it was postage stamp. Time to time he puts in great saves but hes only one second away from a howler. How is he still number 1 for AC Milan.

Huntelaar, or Inzaghi, should have been on ages before 80 minutes.

Great save by Cesar.

Ronaldinho missing under pressure? Not sure. Scored against Real from the spot in the CL.

Knew that was coming, thanks to the English Cavalry. BACK AT YA Bluerulezzz.

A pen is a pen whether it's against Siena or anyone. Teeth has scored more then he has missed. Fact.

It would be pretty weird if he has missed more than he has scored, don't u think??? Even I have scored more than I have missed :D I am not saying he doesn't score at all against worthy opponents BUT there are way better penalty kick takers than him on the filed for milan like Theo's personal favourite Becks for example. As much as I don't like him I must say he would have nailed it (not Victoria's.... I mean the penalty kick :D ).
And of course that the penalty is a penalty BUT there is a little tiny itsy bitsy difference between penalty against Siena and against Inter in the extra time when milan is down and he must absolutely 100 percent score.

I know that now u'll think of new arguments why u are right but u can't change my opinion. I can never agree that he was the man for the penalty in this situation.

 

Well who exactly else would have taken it then. One that hasen't taken a penalty all season? That's wise  iconfused

Look, it's a lottery, but each club has an allotted penalty taker. Rightly or wrongly, that person takes the pens unless he is not on the field. There are odd occasions like when Milan gave the ball to Huntelaar against Genoa because they felt he could do with a goal. But there's a heirarchy for such things.

So whereas I'm sure you'd like to put your own opinions above the facts of life, go ahead. But come at me with half baked opinions... I'll eat you for breakfast. Nom Nom.

Ha ha ha.  i-beer

Of course every team has one person to take the pens, that's what I am saying: that person shouldn't be teeth. Especially when he misses. U know the person can be changed through the season, don't u?
And I find this conversation meaningless: I am saying he shouldn't have taken the penalty when he had missed, and u say he should have taken it. Duh!
Everybody knows Teeth ( I like how u r calling him ) is not calm player at all. It's easy to discomfort him. Especially at away games. That's why he is not good penaltytaker for me.
A good penalty taker is someone who has big confidence, doesn't give a fuck about the insults from the crowd and is calm player. Kinda like Seedorf from Milan for example.

Let's call this one even. It's clear noone will agree with the other. It's kinda late in Bulgaria and I must get up early tomorrow  bigrin

HA. So all you've got to back yourself with is... hindsight.

Well yes Bluerulezzz, of COURSE you are right, after all, I cannot compete with something like hindsight can I.

Btw, what would have happened had he had scored? Exactly. So your argument is not valid. He has taken pens for Barcelona and now Milan and has scored most of them. He has also scored at hardcore stadiums at times.

So let's not call this a draw, let's call it a win for me, since you have no evidence apart from hindsight. Mamma mia. What a ridiculous argument.

(It's so easy to say someone shouldn't have took it AFTER THE EVENT)


Duh  ieek

When he stepped up I was sure he would score, but as they say, it's easy to be wise after the event.  bigrin
Anyway good game, Inter are just superior, no one can touch them. 10 men vs 11 men and Milan didn't get a chance until extra time. This Milan team has been pretty hyped up recently but were brought down HARD tonight. (Haha me likes, NESTA COME HOME i-cry)

Everybody and anybody can miss a penalty. Pressure is always a factor to anyone who isnt a robot, see Baggio 1994 world cup final. Personally I can't remember Ronnie missing many. Tonight, last season against Palermo (Amelia) and against Genoa (Amelia again). He showed character in that match to step up later on in the game and convert.

Wow so 3 vs 1. Ok win for u Theo when u like it that way.
I have already said it: nobody can convince me teeth is the right person to take penalties. And yes I said it after the game but the minute he took the ball and put it on the spot I was sure he was going to miss. For me he is bad penaltytaker and that's that. Everybody has the right to have personal opinion, right? Can we end this conversation?

(of course now Theo wants to have the last word and will continue but I say this is my last post on this topic)

debez87  don't be ...GORAN (like stankovic veron and more) is our PRIDE prety shame for Lotitto dont realase that  STUPID LOTITTO

I hardly ever read this thread and now that I did there is a reminder of something I have tried to forget for 16 years. Baresi and Massaro also missed their penalties so it is not like he alone failed but that was the crucial one and that moment will probably haunt me forever.

I was only 9 at the time, but it hurt me and im not even Italian. I wanted Italy to win the tournament , as I was familiar with the players after watching Serie A for the first time the season prior to that. A tournament I enjoyed, up until that moment. His goals in the semi final though against Bulgaria were great though.

Edit: Sorry for reminding you.

Roberto Baggio became one of my all time favorite players in the previous World Cup (Italy 1990) so it was particularly painful to see him fail. Not to mention the Azzurri team. Ooh, the goals against Bulgaria, have to watch a video of those... Baggioooo.... Gooooooooooolllll!!!

Bellissima.

Am I the only one happy to see Milan struggling? Come on someone? Anyway: Leonardo sux hard!

Nope, I enjoyed seeing them at the beginning of the season when nothing went their way. I was hoping they would miss out on the top 4 but at the moment it's unlikely. My focus is now on Juve losing a CL spot.

Juventus to lose their spot in CL? Nice! It will make Seria A much more interesting.

^ I would also be happy but if and only if Merda are little billow them. I don't want the bastards in CL," once in - never out "(R.Mancini).

Of course. Napoli 3rd, Palermo 4th? What would u say  bigrin

Bari  ieek


Manager of the season - Ventura. Incredible performance time and time again. Komata/Alvarez/Barreto great players and also Rivas who looked very good earlier on in the season. Rannochia is a centre back which I think Genoa will kick themselves for letting out on loan. I admire them because they also play super football.

It was just like watching Lazio of old with Rossi's Palermo, shit at the back, good up top. Pastore was a demon today, they'll do well to keep him until he's 22 at this rate. Top 10 finished guaranteed for these two teams. Bravo.

Just me then, story of my life  i-wink


Napoli vs Genoa, fun game, Napoli missed so many chances. Cannavaro had a stormer - Suazo looks threatening too, he has a lot of pace for some who isn't a spring chicken.

Yeah, good game an exciting 0-0. Napoli will likely see it as two points dropped but that side is going places in the next few years I feel.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfPHShZbI7Q/SWD_TaKllMI/AAAAAAAAABo/9gctvausVHA/s320/Top_Banana.gif)

I knew you'd love it.  i-smile

^

BTW, this also made me LOL tonight. It's genius  bigrin

The guy who came on as a sub and gave away the pen for Palermo today.... ready? Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits Zamp time!


"As for Melinte, he was hopeless. I told my director of sport to send him to Serie B.”


No over-reaction there then   i-razz i-razz

Classic!  bigrin

Imagine if he was incharge here, our midfielders would be lining up against the likes of Albinoleffe, Cesena and Cittadella right now.

Once again Roma win it in the dying minutes of the game from Okaka Chuka. I can't believe all these last minute goals they get. It makes Ranieri look like a genius

That's because he is. Probably. He did much better with Juve then Ferrara, and look at how Merda are doing - they are dead and buried before he took over, and now they'll probably make the CL.

Interestingly (or annoyingly) this is Okaka Chuka's last involvement (literally) with Merda before he goes to Fulham on loan for the rest of the season. Deal was agreed for 1st Feb. Typical.

Watched Milan game - silly points dropped. But it further underlines  what we already know about Cosmi - he is a genius.

Livorno draw at Milan, Chievo,, Udinese, Bologna, Catania all gained a point today.  Ranieri played Juve's youth, Ferrara did not, same lot of players completley different results.  Coach = More important than players

Palermo v Parma - Turgid stuff so far. Pastore needs the ball more.

Turgid is right. Great word that, Turgid.

^

Crespo available or not? I want to see him in a Parma shirt again... not only deja vu but also NOSTALGIA  icool

Maybe not. Football Italia said he picked up an injury with Genoa in his last game, out for a couple of weeks perhaps.

Not a bad game after all.  i-wink

Still bloody bewildering behaviour yet again... look how dangerous Parma looked when they made an effort to attack... they could have got something if they attacked earlier, who knows?

Palermo just about deserved it - Rossi is doing awesomely well with them, good on him.

Btw, the more I see Bibiany, the more he reminds me of a young Thierry Henry.

Yeah decent second half.

Pastore really starting to find his feet now. Cavani as dangerous as ever.

Just watched Parma - Inter. I must admit: I am impressed with Parma's performance. Even with man less on the pitch they didn't look bad ( here is the time to say of course Materazzi got injury around 15 minutes before the end and literally played the rest on one leg but still). This guy Jimenez was master: pretty good ball control.  I didn't rate Parma so high. After I watched this game now I expect even harder game.

Yes, they played very well. Unlucky not to win to be honest. Jimenez has always had talent, shame he wasted so much time on the Inter bench when he could have played for us week in week out. Mirante in goal was very very solid, real safe pair of hands tonight especially in the first half when Inter applied the pressure early on. Enjoyable game.

Agree. The game was very entartaining.

This guy Jimenez?!?!?

Don't you remember he was ours at one time.  ilol

Anyway Parma will be far to tough test for Reja if you ask me. Lets hope that our golden boy Danny can bring some fortuna unlike his collage i-wink.

LOL Jimenez is village whore.
U know what i mean in macedonian language :)

Milan at Udinese, strange one on a Friday looks promising.

Milan are up by 1, Huntelaar, great ball by Ronnie

^

Hey, the fuck you been recently?  iconfused


Yeah, really want Milan to win this one because, of course Udinese are around us but also, Milan desperately need some form so they can GIVE UNITED SOME next week  iscarf3

another great ball from Ronnie for Pato's goal. He's playing well tonight.

And yet all I can think about is fucking Dida.
I swear to god I'm shit scared about that guy if he starts against United. Because there is a real possibility of Milan leading 1-0 or something, 93rd minute, and a Dida fuck up to give them an away goal. I'll be incredibly angry if that happens so I'm hoping Abbiati can get the gloves back before Tuesday.

I struggle to understand how he is still in goal for Milan. A total liability. Last time I saw Milan play, against Livorno, Abbiati started and was solid. Im not sure if he's injured, but I hope he is back for Tuesday night also. Infact, even if Abbiati is injured they're probably be better off playing him.

Well, Milan made that hard work. But Huntelaaar was great - he actually gives a fuck about the team rather then Marco " Why didn't you pass to me" Borriello.

But I bet Borriello will be back for United. And then Milan will just lump it up to the big ego, who'll do shit, and then the system falls to pieces. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

Anyway, perhaps further discussion can take place in the CL thread.... after the Lazio game of course.

Dida has been shit for years now makes you really value how lucky it is to have muslera in goal.  good result for us but still credit to udinese for battling back, shit team but they still try.  Pato will make the difference against Utd, world class above even ronnie 

Yeah, Huntelaar showed he was a klass act tonight.

Milan will need Nesta and Silva at CB to steady that ship against United, but Pato back is huge for them.

Glad that Milan won this one for they climb above Merde and they might help us in case we grab a much needed win at Parma

Very competitive weekend,

Palermo-Roma, Samp-Fiorentina today, tommorrow two important outcomes in Livorno-Bologna, Catania-Atalanta, almost every game is equal strength vs equal strength.  We may draw Parma and still fall behind.   

Two fantastic games today, cannot wait  pyro

I love watching Palermo and hope they tear Ranieri a new one.

Theo, can you give me a link? I was trying it from atdhe and its not possible watching from there...

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=64002&part=sports



Cone on Palermo, playing with 10 men... because of course Bovo is a open Merdarista  romerda


EDIT: Fuck off Roma. Dickheads. I ain't watching anymore of those scummy shits.

4-1, Riise iconstenrioma

What a load of horseshit. How can a team that has Juan as a CB be 6 points behind Inter? Glad I turned off after 2-0, fucking wankers.


Let's move on to Samp vs Viola, I have absolutely no idea how this game is going to go. Viola sucks atm but are capable of winning any game (I want to Keirrison) but Samp have got out of their own rut by winning two in a row. Bring it on.

^

Get out man. Its weekend  i-wink

I want to Jovetic

Then I want to Winter Olimpics, I want to all night long.

^

Really  ieek



I have to say that the Winter Olimpics means zero to me... or at least 0.1%. But I certainly won't be watching any of it. Though I will try and hunt down that Georgian crash footage. It sounds intriguing.

Btw, Jovetic is possibly the ugliest white football I have ever seen. I could never 'want to' him.


@ Jofo

You.........  i-surp

Well, I want to Jovetic's skill, and ability, not his physical appearance just to clear that one up.   i-surp

As for the games, I watch quite a bit of winter sports anyway and have always enjoyed the Olympic tradition myself, though of course its not for everyone.

 bigrin



Fair enough. But the phrase 'want to' in terms of people kind of applies to you know what... so from one straight man to another, you know... you'll only see me saying 'want to' for footballers who have the skills required AND some sort of non tranvestite looks, (which rules out Jovetic) or just some 'acceptable' face and/or physique. Just to clear that up my end  i-smile

Over to the game. Worst Serie A Pitch I have ever seen.


EDIT: Viola are some deep shit. Wow, the irony being that since the January Mercato, which strengthened them considerably, they can hardly win! Maybe in a few weeks we can take them after all.  ieek

In last few games Viola only got 1 point. Hell yeah they are in crisis.

Never seen anything like it. Must have doused the pitch with acid or something before the game.

Thought something was wrong with the monitor or camera at first, very strange.  Very lopsided games Fiorentina never been the same since all the mutu shit resurfaced. 

Well, Samp win again, and Viola lose again. Is it really true Gilardino has only scored once all season?

Btw, I want to Ljajić. He looks quality.

If Viola don't get out of this, I think we can slaughter them, because they do not travel well. Such a shame we don't play them next week instead - they have Livorno at home, so a perfect chance for them to get back on track.

If only he knew how to direct his shot at goal he could of had at least 2. Him and Jovetic seemed to be on the same beat with each other.

Well, 9 goals in Serie A this season but it could be one goal this year, not certain about it.

It is pretty obvious they are not the same team without Adrian "The gipsy king" Mutu. He was the soul and the heart of the team. And now they will suffer from his absense. Which will make me happy. I fucking hate viola

did anyone see Del Peiero dive AGAIN to win Juve's penalty? shocking!!

was it as bad against us ??

unbelievable penalty  ieek definetly highlight of the week  bigrin

Napoli vs Inter. Whereas I'd usually enjoy seeing Inter lose points if it were to happen, what with Merda looking most likely to challenge them for the title..

INTER MUST WIN AT ALL COSTS!

Unbeleivable that its still 0-0.  Roma will never catch Inter even with the luck they have been getting along with thier winning streak.  Just for safe measure though go Inter

Napoli look so smooth, they can easily squeeze the 3 from this one, if only their finishing was more accurate

Coach Rossi doesn't deserve such insult... see Zamp's after-match comment.

And one more just to have fun with these divers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4ZY9sJe0rY

Oh man, I played 2 for Lazio and X for Livorno. I guess I overestemated the dirty communists :D I was in doubt to play Inter draw or Livorno. But I guess I took the wrong decision. I was pretty sure Edy would bring Lazio's game to a happy ending :P

Genoa vs Udinese first up.



I won't end up repeating what I usually say when Genoa play.. .Gasperini, Preziosi.. yadda yadda yadda.

So instead, is there anyone else who thinks Mesto and Marco Rossi should get into the Azzurri squad? Their form has been great, and I love to watch both of them. Solid as fuck midfielders, never stop trying. I would cut my left arm off for us to have those in Lazio's team.. or at least midfielders of those types - we don't really have them, nor of their quality.

Well game over for udinese, Genoa are well rounded and though I don't know much about Mesto or Marco Rossi the current NT mid is deplorable so chances should be given to any youth that can help fill the void. 

Both players certainly worthy of National team consideration.

As for Genoa, most teams will leave empty handed from the Luigi Ferraras. A different side infront of their own fans than they are on the road.

And Palacio has just scored, not done bad since his Boca switch.

I won't be watching any game tonight. Instead I'll get out icool, get drunk  i-beer and hopefully pick up some hot blonde i-twist.  

But hey, staying at home and watching a game is a good option too i-wink.

(http://www.partypants.co.uk/wigs/bee-gee-wig-blonde.jpg)

Good luck with that  i-surp

How can you resist that ruby red lips, milky white skin and baby blue eyes.

Wow Inter are down on 2 man and are given a non existing penalty...Seria A at it's best

Thank god I'm not a Samp fan... I would be going absolutely ape-shit right now. Against 9 men, and they can't even muster a shot on target. And , rather then playing possession football to try and create space which is left by TWO non existent players.. they are just lumping it forward. I've never seen incompetence like it.  iconfused


Infact, hands down (I've seen some real football shit in my lifetime) this is the lamest, most pathetic performance from a side against less men I have ever seen in my life.

Poli played well for Samp, but Pazzini and Pozzi won't do the creative work that old Cassano will do. If they had him in the side tonight in the same set of circumstances he, in my opinion, would have carved those nine Inter men to pieces. But, he was not in the side and I barely recall Julio Cesar making a save at all during the game. Infact, even Lazio under Ballardini with 11v11 put Inter under a lot more pressure than Samp did tonight. It was very poor from them.

LOL Did you see when Mourinho was laughing so hard on the Inter touchline when he thought Eto'o should of had a penelty. That was damn hilarious.

That was a  pathetic effort by Sampdoria after being two men up. Sampdoria were lucky they didn't lose. Pozzi is the type of players I cant stand. Not only is his mouth disportioned, he exaggerates so much from the mildest contact and almost fought with Gastaldello after he won a red card against Samuel. I did not like Pozzi's game at all.

Tagliavento shoots out his cards way too easily. He has to understand that the slightest contact will make players exaggerate like their dieing(Samuel red card) and that some collisions come naturally due to determined players. Cordoba did not deserve the red card. Tagliavento really took the game out of Inter's hands this game.

^

I said it before, but Samp are quite an average outfit without Cassano. Take him out of it, then there's practically zero creativity. When he's there, he automatically makes them into a top 10 side. I'm really surprised they didn't go for another striker in the window. IMO they need at least two in the Summer. Hey, we have shitloads...  i-surp

Agreed. They sit in 4th currently, but compared to Napoli, Palermo, Fiorentina, Juve they don't have the same creative sources.

Fortunately, none of the sides bellow us or Bologna 3 points above registered a win today. Only Siena picked up a point, so we cling onto our position for another week.

thats the only good thing of the day , even merda's win was welcome

Fiorentina's rot is well and truly stopped after winning in the league for the first time since... a while.


And they come to us next week knowing that they have to put the ball past.... Berni. Oh jeez.

And I just read this will be his 3rd ever performance for us. Jeez x3!  ilol

Bari vs Milan.

Don't give a fuck what happens. Bari have done an amazing job this season obviously.. and I'm still angry with Milan for the debacle of last week's CL match.

I'd like a good game please.


Oh, and Marco Ego is back in the team. Fuck him. But at least Dida is dropped... FINALLY

Do not give a flying fukk what happens, indeed, and I am always angry with Milan. But I am too apathetic to do anything constructive at the moment so I will give this match a go.

Haha immediatley after Abbiati stops the penalty the camera goes right to Dida on the bench, last time he ever starts.   

Priceless!

Dida is a fucking moron. So is Leonardo for not playing Abbiati in every game before and immediately after his injury.

I noticed that too...lol ..  and Dida as usual looks pissed off, i don't think i've ever seen that guy crack a smile. He's been totally tossed to the side. Nice save by abbiati.

You would think so wouldn't you. But, he should not have started again after that howler in Madrid, and then that pitiful attempt to save Pandev's freekick in the derby, and then again after that useless display against Udinese last week for them he still got the nod against United. To be honest this season ive been at a loss for words when they keep turning to him, but its there problem. 

Tomorrow will be played two postponed games.

Viola - Milan
Udinese - Calagri     ..Our future depend on this one.

^

Yep, they kick off early evening; so you have a choice, watch one of those Serie A Games before the CL or watch CSKA vs Sevilla... before the 'big one'.

It's vitally important that Cagliari win tonight - aside from the obvious relegation rival reasons, I think it would be fantastic if Cagliari moved up into 4th spot - what a story, what a management team, what a president.

Udinese 2-1 Cagliari  ieek

Well, Cagliari aren't very good guests and Udine with a new coach: that isn't a surprise :)

Shame Cagliari didnt win, but Udinese are not bad at home, just bad away. Still, the only way we will get out of this mess is by performing ourselves. If our rivals slip up then thats all the better, but we know we can't rely on that.

Yeah they suck at being guests. They always bring piss-poor wine, bad manners and won't take the hint to leave  iscarf3

Catania vs Bari first up. Clearly the most important game is coming up later - but let's hope Bari get something out of this one.

I see it as a draw. Or maybe I want Bari to draw the game  i-razz

We need all the teams around us to FAIL, a draw is probable but then again a draw is probable for us with Fiorentina.  Catania is definitley a direct competitor now along with Livorno and us for that last Serie B ticket

Good shot  ieek

hardly a boring game and defintley not one to bet on, I can still see bari come back to win this. 

Bari are shit away from home for some reason, which is surprising, since they have all the pace and speed in their play that they do week in week out at the San Nicola. Today they look woeful at the back, which again is surprising. They do tend to concede many on their travels.  Catania look like they could get a 2nd, if they do, game over.

Game over I guess, wow that will be on the highlight reel for the week.  Shit 3 Points for Catania, with Livorno facing Siena could be back in the red.   

Looks I'm right again for the millionth time. Two classy strikes, whilst Bari have missed some sitters. Pressure is well and truly on for Lazio for tonight. There can be no excuses for us... we MUST win, even if I don't know how likely it is. It HAS to happen.

4 fucking nil  ieek


Highly impressive. They have completely raped Bari. Martinez and Izco were superb.

Its Catania with 4 goals and a clean sheet, considering they are our rivals now is pathetic and it doesn't matter how bad Bari are on the road I doubt we could have done the same. 

The only way to get over Lazio SHIT is to watch other matches - what are people doing today?

Parma v Samp for me; bur the rest of the games are as follows;


Chievo      Cagliari      
Genoa      Bologna         
Livorno      Siena      
Milan              Atalanta      
Napoli              Roma         
Udinese           Inter      

Juve Palermo later. Hope Palermo fucking murder them.

Thanks Siena for beating Livorno!! ieek

Napoli got a penalty in the last minute against riomma iscarf1

GENOA - BOLOGNA 3-4 ieek ieek ieek ieek ieek ieek i-cry i-cry

Unbelievable result for Bologna. They will stay up, there playing like they really want it.

Thanks Siena, though its pretty pathetic that we're having to rely on them. Thanks nonetheless.

thank you sienna  i-beer .stupid cribari  iscarf3 for giving livorno the penalty,even now that he is gone he almost f*cked things up for us

Oh, man! What results in Seria A in this round! Unbelievable! Bologna and Siena won as guests! I guess Livorno sux!  And merda sux too  romerda

Indeed thanks to Siena but how interesting it would be if they won a whole bunch of games now... then we really would be in some trouble. I'm not sure what results are good for us anymore - certainly the teams 'just outside' the relegation zones all won today, like Parma, Chievo and Bologna. So we are getting really cut off from the rest of the league.

As to now... Fuck Rube! I wonder if it'll be three league home matches in a row where ADP 'earns himself' a penalty.  iscarf3

Good point there. We can't hope anymore for better position. It's just not realistic. Only thing we can hope is stay in Seria A. From that point of view Siena's win is great as long as they don't continue to take such matches (like the visit to Lazio)

And I think Juve will take this match. They can't continue forever in mediocrity. I am hoping for a draw at half time and then I will put some money on the old lady.

Are you busy tomorrow... say... 12:30 CET?

Thought not. I've booked you in for an appointment with Dr Richard Spielberger, head of the European Gamblers Anonymous group.

I hope it helps to cure your addiction. I think you need help.  iconfused

Actually I do love to gamble. BUT as long as I don't loose money it's ok  i-razz

Fuck Rube! I want a refund on my first class ticket to this YAWNFEST of a game. Palermo at least have some genuine threat... shame they haven't shown it often. Is Candreva good enough for Juve? Bugger is he! That team is a joke.

It looks more likely Palermo to score than Juve

Did you bet on Rube?  ilol


Nice one Fabrizio, he'll enjoy that against his former team.

Nope. I was waiting to see the beginning of the second half and I saw Palermo looking too dangerous to bet on Juve   icool

What a goal!  ieek IMO Best goal this year!   

Nah.. THAT was the best goal all year. lmao  ilol



Now maybe people can see why I was angry we only drew to Juve in this fixture. They were definitely beatable. If we had gone for it like Palermo have tonight, we'd have two extra points right now.

Fuck Rube!

I guess I am right Juve can't continue forever in mediocrity: they have to come down  ilol

So tell me again why did Lotito fired Deilo?

Oh no, not this again.


Delio had to go  iconfused His time was up, he lost the dressing room, he was picking his favourites.. blah blah blah. You know this.

C u in the chatroom a little bit later   i-surp

Yeah u r right. But it hurts to see him leading such a high rated team, u know
And can't attend the chat room. I have to go to bed cause tomorrow is tough day. I have to get up early  iconfused

Did you guys see Maicon's goal yesterday, so sick ieek

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4KLZfJJHHw



FUCK RUBE!  icool

ieek Great goal! However Miccoli's goal was even better

Yeah, brilliant. Best right back in the world imo.

 ieek


Not sure about that. Dani Alves for me.

Definitely Maicon. Alves sux at defending + doesn't like to pass the ball

*Feels an argument coming on*

...

*Considers the opposition*

...

*Feels sympathy for the weaker opponent... will spare you the embarrassment of losing again*  i-surp

Haha  i-beer

However Dani for me. Not because I'm afraid of Theo .!. but because Maicon suck monkey balls at crossing. Pretty much the same as our Lich, except our is white  iscarf1

Fiorentina vs Juventus

Milan vs Roma


What a daft time for Fiorentina and Juventus - surely that should be the evening game? Whatever. Everyone knows the derby between those two. So much hatred, so many hunchbacks  icool
Really hope Juve don't come 4th, it would be fantastic.


Later on, an easy away win for Milan imo. Merda are a crock of shit when they tend to attack, which will suit Milan.


^ Well, that was just a little parody of my previous post. But I do see Milan winning - although it probably won't be easy. Merda are obviously in good form - but Milan on their day can beat anyone in this league, anywhere... except Inter.

A little correction there  i-surp

Noted.  i-wink

Nice  ilol
My predictions: Win for Milan and Draw :)

Milan Win & Draw looks good, I don't think Juve will get the 4th spot this year they have some really motivated teams that are not spinning in turmoil attacking for that last CL spot.  Roma have been lucky many times this year so I don't expect Milan to bulldoze to victory today

My guess is two home wins, Juve have been going from bad to worse and Fiorentina do have a better squad (and a better manager). As for Roma - Milan, Roma have been grinding out results lately and being at home they will tear this Milan side a new asshole.

Bloody hell. Goal already  ieek

definitely surprising start

mauri should take note, what to do when 1-1 with keeper

ilol Not that he can play with both feet

I just seen the replay. He was onside by the length of a football boot. Close call.  iconfused

I thought AustriaLaziale was the only retarded Austrian in the world.


At least now he has Alex Manninger for company.  i-wink

wow totally undeserved goal for Juve. But what a strike from Grosso
