    Watched bits of the Roma - Inter game earlier. Roma have a great attack there, they might be able to push Juve this year but they will probably need to tighten up at the back. Inter look a much better side this year, another side with great attacking players. Serie A should be a good watch this season

    I don't think 'tightening at the back' is part of Zdenek Zeman's football dictionary. :smiley-laughing002:

    Francesco Totti was just incredible against Inter tonight.

    Always been one of my favourite players and even at 35 still got all the tricks and skill.

    His cross for Florenzi's goal was quality and the pass for Osvaldo's you won't see a better pass than that this weekend. Legend :50:

    FIFA have decided to extend Juventus coach Antonio Conte's 10-month ban from his domestic ban to a worldwide suspension -Ie Champs league

    Can't say if I'm surprised or not tbh. On the one hand, FIFA should probably uphold the ban as the domestic body gave it to him. But on the other, it's nonsense that it's even got this far off the back of the word of a convicted match-fixer's desperate finger-pointing.

    As it stands, for the moment anyway, it hasn't affected Juve yet. Carrera's doing a job so far. Might hinder the CL campaign but the domestic one will be fine - until a big test comes along anyway. Then we'll see how well he handles it :50:

    Absolutely.

    I'd like to see the manager trying to justify his strategy in the post-match interview if they had lost the ball straight away and conceded a goal in the first thirty seconds though,

    Buffon made a world class save in the first half too to stop it going to 2-0 and Matri missed an absolute sitter to equalise.

    2-1 Juve, Vucinic penalty. Looked a penalty Asamoah was took down cutting into the box.

    3-1 now, Asamoah slideed it in at the back post set up by a Vucinic cross, was a good bit of play.

    Great to see Quagliarella getting on the score-sheet again. Fantastic talent.
