[Casciavit]

Had a feeling we wouldn't be able to beat *bleep* Benevento

Awful team.

[Robespierre]

Next week Juventus - Inter and United - City , wow

I'd be incredibily glad for a tie, as it was for Napoli

[Robespierre]

Of course the Milan moment likes me ( I'd be hypocrite to say the contrary ) but I am sorry for GL Milan fanbase tbh All good posters

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Happy for Robes but at the same time it means I was wrong about Spaletti.

My ego is the most important thing in the world tbh so Forza Juve.

Welcome [back] mole

I'll be sending you your welcome package shortly via PM

Milang made me lost 20$ this morning (while being the safest bet on paper) but i don't even care

Inter is the only team undefeated now. I was also wrong about Spalletti, it seems. But Inter is still 100000% not winning the scudetto.

[Luca]

Sergej is too damn good

If he was Italian, I would start the thread

If he had green hair and was French, there would already be a five pager floating around

[Robespierre]

More chances of me making love to Aida Yespica than Inter to win the Scudetto '17-18.  I don't know what I'd like more tbh.
Everyone knows it , excepts the jinxers, that we can't .
But I like to enjoy the moment and that is great Inter.
Now it will be a week of emotional strain , the derby of Italia is always a special match , let alone on this table... but we come with euphoria and aware that our league was quite perfect so far.
Frankly I still believe really our contender is Lazio for 4th place. I am watching Sampdoria (pls, at least a tie ) - Lazio very carefully.
If Lazio don't win it , it's basically the best day ever.
Very entertaining match so far.

[Luca]

Lazio won in the end, a good game indeed

I was also watching closely, as they're the only two teams to beat Juventus in Serie A this season

I quite like this Lazio side, I really hope we sign Sergej. He'd be perfect for any top team in the world, what a player

Right now, its anybody's Scudetto to win. Even next Saturday will solve nothing so I am calm about it and rather just looking forward to the Derby d'Italia, without thoughts of the table. If we didn't win with Napoli, the pressure would be much greater

In Torino, we are usually a safe bet too [don't talk about Lazio]

[Robespierre]

Meh
It'd have been an unreal matchday.
Lazio won it in last minute ... 4th place battle will be so though
Anyway I can't complain about this day at the end

[Luca]

Sorry, you're right. Milan is out of the running already

[InterMalia]

If i may be honest here: There's nothing I would love more than us being the team that stops you, but if I'm being realistic there's a higher chance of us coming 5th than winning the scudetti I haven't met a single Interisti who believes we will win it. We have all come to accept the superiority of the old lady and would gladly give an arm just to get to the CL.

[Luca]

I remember us Juve fans thinking identically when we overtook Milan some years ago

I'm just saying that it's December only, stranger things have happened

I believe in the Brignoli moments of this sport. I wouldn't be surprised if Napoli or Inter win it, nor would I be if Juventus doesn't win it. You can't simply expect to win every season. It will eventually end, as all things do

[Robespierre]

At least you were sure about CL place.
For us it is hard to dream Scudetto when even 5th place is close.
It' s quite unreal look how the first 5 places are so close each other
And coming back in Champions League , frankly, it is an obsession for Inter fans.
Infact there are nter fans who can't enjoy moment because despite this great league so far there is Lazio so close.. Enough nonsense for me though. Personally I don't watch to others in these moments. But obsession creates paranoia.

[Luca]

I understand, but separation after just 15 games was never going to be definitive. However, if the season continues just as this then its going to be a ridiculous end

[Robespierre]

Many thoughts are suspended and there will be after Juventus Inter
Sure if Inter don't lose or even win you'll listen things about Scudetto. While if we lose the narrative will rotate around Inter that can't fight beyond 4th place.
Even if I don't believe it is so crucial. I remind when we trashed Juve 1-3 under Stramehccioni but then....

[Luca]

Next week would be an intense match even if Inter was 15th and Juventus was 14th. It's just the nature of these fixtures

[breva]

We are just hoping for a CL place for next year so that Suning will break the bank and give Spalletti every player he wants. Scudetto is between Napoli, Juve and Roma.

[InteristAli]

Robes hit the nail on its head really about Inter, I can't get excited about being in the champions league next year, let along get excited about challenging for the title. Like he said, we ended juve's unbeatwn run under freaking stramma, and only 2 years ago we were winter champions only to end up 4th and lose out on the champions league.
Another thing i can't get excited about is Skriniar, who is a beast and i love him, but i can't help but remember murillo whom i really thought would be a huge star only to suck the year after his first year, so I'll wait.
Also one more thing, i think you're dead wrong robes on kindogbia, he's crap man. Dont care what he's doing in valencia, at inter he's shite and disinterested and he's not better than gagliardini

[iftikhar]

When do Roma, Lazio, Sampdoria play their game in hand???

[Warrior]

Nice to read you again

My sincere thoughts :
I will begin to think for Scudetto battle if we will have this table in March.
Now the table is so short among 1st - 5th place (Lazio victory against Udinese is expected ) that it is natural to me to look at 4th place.
I listen often to say that the dramma is Italy to not play World Cup. Ok. But for me the real dramma is not play Champions League for long 6 years. I feel in abstinence ffs That is our dimension

About Skriniar - Murillo, I don't get the comparison TBH
Murillo was hyped during his prime period, but his hype was ridicolous

Even in his prime he showed his flaws and he just was carried by Mancini ' s bus system

You could realize him also in that period. And everything was evident when we changed gamestyle

Murillo is just the typical Columbian defender

Fast but inconsistent, his brain is on and off, execessively impulsive

What you can't say about Skriniar.
Then I can't predict future (except for Juve to win 7th Scudetto in a row) , but so far he deserves hype. He looked like a defender very complete , great to mark and to pass the ball, not just a fraud carried by system as Murillo

Yesterday he made a Cannavaro, blocked the goal, begun the action and gone to score Ahhhhhhhhh
Have ever Murillo done this ?

About Kondogbia , don't misunderstand me.
I don't regret him and I don't care what he does in Valencia.
Or better, I hope really he does a Pogba-esque league, so I sure Valencia will pay 25 for him.
I don't care if he can even be rated more than this.
Getting that money from  a player been here fraud and especially not recoverable at Inter (here he is done and finished) is a good deal.
I' m going to love Marcelino for this.

[farfan]

Robes, is Inter really playing with a double pivot consisting of Valero and Joao Mario? how does that work?
