Serie A round 4 & 5

[El Pibe D'Oro]

Stop whingeing about refs / that's all u
Nap supporters seem to do . Ref this ref that . If you're teams good enough u will be successful. U guys have an unbelievable fascination with referees

Nice try.

Baggio brought it up on here pal.

At least we dont fuck referees

Who cares if a team has received more penalties than another team ? If they r there u give them !

That's right.

And dont talk about luck or rub of the green.
Juve are the Man Utd of Serie A when it comes to that stuff.

+1

4 penalties in the opening 6 matches, not forgetting the one overlooked for Fiorentina. #RUBENTUS

Of course, all four were clear fouls and thus penalties. The Lichtsteiner vs Parma one should not have been given though, as it was offside. And regards to the Fiorentina one, why should Vidal be punished for winning the ball.

And I was going to ask why Mazzarri will not have a one match ban despite being sent off, but I guess I can't because Conte has his own touchline ban.

No you can ask, I cant answer and find it laughable that even though he has been sent off he wont serve a suspension - I hadn't read that in the news in Italy yet. But I am happy he will be on the bench the next few games. Conte's ban is a joke on a lot of levels. It isn't really a ban but that's just my opinion.

You and the people that know me understand I will give a balanced view. My opinion is this. Juventus are light years ahead in terms of everything - structure, in house management, squad and ability to re-invest in that squad. That equals their results last season and dominance in the next 5 years or so.

Napoli are trying to get there. De Laurentiis himself has said on many occasions publicly - "Complimenti Agnelli e Juve". There is healthy respect there on a football and business basis. That is where we need to get, but baby steps and in the meantime if we can remain competitive then excellent. The challenge is to remain competitive every year, not every third year finish 6th or 7th.

The stadium for Napoli needs to remain high on the agenda. Once that is over the line, we will be an absolute powerhouse because in terms of support we have one of the highest averages in Europe per match (44 or 45 k per match last year). Our supporter base comes from a one team town of 4 million.

We can joke about pens or referees all we want in good fun on here, but the reality is this - we have a wage budget 50% of what Juve Milan and Inter spend so we are punching way above our weight. We should not be getting anywhere near those three. Even Lazio's wage bill is 12-13 million more than ours.

That is why when FFP is in full swing we will be fine and some will not.

How many weeks will it be before all the Pescara fans are back supporting Milan and Inter?

[El Pibe D'Oro]

Harsh - there is only one Pescara fan on here anyway!!! He has always stuck to his team.

Napoli vs Juve sold out in 2 hours.

Nice to see Prandelli give Buffon the night off for Italy. Bet he plays for Juve this weekend too.

[Juventino]

If they really wanted to give a Juve player the night off, why would it be Buffon ahead of Barzagli, Pirlo or Marchisio?

so it was wrong for Prandelli to rest an injured Buffon when Pirlo and Marchisio needed the rest more, yet ok to release Maggio from the squad so he could go home to be at his wife's side for the birth of their child???

I don't think Maggio would have given him a choice actually. He probably just told "him I am going" and that is it.

And good on him and anyone else that misses a game for something so important, it is not something that happens all the time and you never ever know if it will happen again.

You seriously think Buffon got a nightoff to rest when 100% fit. He's a keeper not a midfielder.
I hope your joking and just stirring.
