Serie A 2011/2012

Conte has played a blinder here, those two substitutions have completely changed the game.

Pre-game 'bantz'.

Sneijder.

Won't even be in the Europa league next season.

Inter are £#%&!ing awful. It was like watching the scousers I don't recall seeing the great Wesley Sneijder at all this evening, of course, that doesn't mean he didn't play...

Yep, they were truly great European games

Yeah, they're really bad. Looks like they're headed back to their pre-Calciopoli status as a club completely lacking stability or vision with Moratti not having a clue what he's doing.

Elsewhere, Big Zlat taking the piss out of Roma with the winning goal for Milan yesterday:

ranieri gone!

nearly reaching 99 level when they had 4 managers!

do you think he would have improved that load of shit at old trafford tonight?

Milan and Juve battling it out for the Scudetto, Inter in almost permanent crises. All is right in Serie A again

He would probably have been "rested" for tonight, tbf

He's started 11 matches for Inter in Serie A this season and they've won two of them. So he's hardly improved them when he's actually been fit.

The truth is, he had a brilliant few months under Mourinho, but otherwise he's rarely produced for a sustained spell since leaving Ajax.

Nope. He'd have made it worse.

The truth is out there should you seek it Sparky...

i thought he was good at real tbh but wasn't favoured for other reasons.

he's a very good player but (a) not what we need (b) too old and (c) is injured all the time.

Great to see Juve in a 'proper' stadium.

Yeah, I think Real got rid of him (and Robben) too quickly, largely because Perez wanted to sign his own players when he took over

But he never really achieved consistency, whatever the reason. Last year in Spain: 18 starts in the league; subbed in 14 of them.

Juve-Napoli in half an hour.

Inter beat Genoa 5-4 earlier.

Ridiculous game. Inter are so much more fun when they're a mess

Yep. Back to normal for them now that Italian football is strong again.

Moratti will almost certainly try for Bielsa in the summer. Disaster written all over it

Getting the old men of Inter to play a pressing game was such a success under Benitez, it's only natural he hire a new coach to give it another shot

Juventus should win tonight. Been excellent at home this season.

Interesting how tactically adaptable they seem to be under Conte. They went 4-3-3 last week against Inter. Tonight they're playing three central defenders, presumable matching Napoli up in a 3-5-2.
