Milan next week

As Zaza said, Juve's scudetto to :wink: :wink: lose now

Was a very tactical game indeed.
Juve were happy with a draw and allowed Napoli the ball in the second half.
Instead of showcasing Italian football it seemed like a game where both teams were scared to lose.

Things to consider moving forward is obviously Europe.
Both sides need to go deep into their respoective comps for the co efficient.

Napoli will as long as they are still in the Europa will have days less rest and playing after Juve in the league quite often.
That is as long as Juve don't get knocked out this round also.

So long as Juve win the pressure builds for the Napoli match.

Juve have also most of the bigger games at home and Napoli away.

That aside its an exiting race to the finish and as much as I want Juve to win I'd like to see it go to the wire.
A long way to go and nothing is certain in football.

A lot more twists and turns and I wasn't surprised at the Bologna result they are tough at home

Too many games to make any predictions yet

Plenty of credit to Bologna - they have defeated Napoli and Milan, plus drawn with Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina and now Juventus. That's a good record for a side which looked relegation candidates under Delio Rossi.

But this had to be one of the worst offside calls I've ever seen:

Bonucci, in the six yard box at the back, was given offside!

I was worried about this game.
We failed to have a single shot on target during the match.
That's the first time since i think the 2002-03 season since that has occurred.


Milan scrapped a draw after being battered was a result I hoped for but never thought would materialise.

I think it was vs Milan a few seasons back, 12-13 that we last hit that stat.

Inter are pathetic, I hope Juve smash them in the coppa.

Juve's scudetto to lose, and I think they will hold on and win it convincingly.
Napoli look spent and are struggling to score
Fiorentina and Roma could push for second spot - the next game is between the two
Inter and Milan look destined to finish outside the top 4.
I Hope Sassuolo can finish 5th, and playing in Europe next year.


Frosinone, Carpi and Hellas Verona to get relegated

Food for thought, taking nothing away from what is anticipated to be a fantastic feat of winning 5
championships in a row, can the current crop of juventus players be held in such a regard that they
are possibly the best team the serie a has seen in its history.

I believe not, but hey I was spoilt with witnessing the great era of serie a in the 80's.

Obviously as a Napoli fan the 80's was fantastic, but id be interested to hear from juventus fans
that also remember when the serie a was the premier league in the world if they think this current
crop of players over the last five years was better than their 80's squad for instance who from memory
didn't achieve the same level of success but had some fantastic world class players.

I know that juventus won 5 in a row in the 1930's but am sticking to my era from the 80's onwards
and in that period to current they won 2 in 1980-1982, 2 in 1996-1998 and 2001-202 but I honestly
believe the 1980-1982 team was a better overall team, just didn't win more cause the serie a was so
strong and this current league is far from it, juventini who remember these teams thoughts would be good
Anyway congrats on another anticipated scudetto, Napoli after so much promise will be happy to finish 2nd
but we have a crunch game away to roma Monday morning which I hope we can get a result from

Nope, this team is not better. It's not the best team to win five titles in a row - that forever goes to Il Grande Torino. Perhaps not the best Juventus team to do five a row - the 1930s Quinquennio d'oro set-up what would become the modern Juventus.

But when you consider where Juventus were in 2011, it's a fantastic achievement. Just think if you would have said Juve would win five Scudetti in a row when Conte took over - it was a laughable thought.

On to more important things.

Firstly hoping we can get the points tomorrow morning to ensure the second place and then an active transfer window with Herrera of Porto the main target to strengthen the midfield.

Tonelli almost done at 10 million from Empoli for more cover at the back and now talk of Albiol to Valencia with World Cup winner Skhrodan Mustafi coming the other way.

Talk of Bazoer from Ajax and possibly Candreva with Gabbiadini going to Tottenham or Wolfsburg.

Candreva would be a massive in.

Vrsaljko the other big possibility
