don't you think that Rab should get banned as he lied about me? I never lied about any members of this forum nor i will...

I dont care if he lied or not,your working yourself up over something so miniscule its unbelievable.Relax dude,i have nothing against you.

Where's that vStoning function around here, anyway?

We should have a smilie for that shit.

Oh and another thing... like Alen said too many of us became supporters of Juventus and players were behind this reason(Baggio, Ale, Nedved, Zidane, Platini etc).... But difference is that the Club for them is bigger than any of the players I've mentioned. They will continue supporting Juventus even when these players retire.

But how would you explain when you've been a Chelsea fan BECAUSE of one coach. and then call yourself fan of Juventus BECAUSE this coach arrived over here. And posts only about Ranieri.

Not to mention jumps on Vinny and Andy back whenever they were criticizing Ranieri.

I believe we're smarter than this, and we can tell if someone is a coach fan or a team fan. Doesn't need Einstein.

To each his own mate, who are we to judge? We have plenty of people on the forums who are Juve fans for a host of different reasons, you only seem to be picking on Lampard...

True. Each to his own.

But I just can't stand the "we" referring to Juventus.

 

[DelpieroForLife]

[mikhail]

Blog: It’s Inter’s title
This weekend demonstrated the eternal potential of Serie A to entertain and amaze but, as Scott Fleming argues, it also showed that the League remains a one horse race

Juventus versus Milan at Turin’s Stadio Olimpico was the showdown the season had been crying out for. Almost every other game between the Division’s top sides had ended 1-0, after intense, tactical affairs.

In contrast, Juve’s 4-2 win was scintillating, like a battle from the middle ages, contested in typhoon conditions. Instead of hindering the match as a spectacle, the conditions made it.

There would have been more dismissals if the referee hadn’t realised tackles appeared worse than they were on the soaked turf, and there would have been more than six goals if not for the goalkeepers, the woodwork, and some abysmal finishing from Massimo Ambrosini.

Now in the aftermath Juve have been widely portrayed as the anti-Inter, and the title race can begin in earnest it seems. I just don’t buy it however. As much as I enjoyed it, the reason Sunday night was quite so exciting was the inadequacies of both sides.

Milan do not seem to be able to defend crosses. Or indeed anything that involves the ball entering their penalty box. The powers that be, Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani, have responded in typical fashion, like 10-year-olds let loose on a copy of Football Manager, by signing Thiago Silva, a defender who can’t play until next season.

Just like the Alexandre Pato signing, the patron and his deputy think they can deceive the supporters with one signing, instead of dealing with genuine and persistent problems that exist, and need sorting ASAP, not next summer.

In addition Sunday night proved the midfield is, as it has always been in Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure, too narrow, and the argument that the squad is too old, while pretty ancient itself, can’t be ignored.

Juventus, meanwhile, are not much better. They get by on sheer hard work and desire. Claudio Ranieri’s side seem unable to dominate games for any significant length of time, perhaps due to their lack of a fantasista to dictate play. Against Milan their goals came from nowhere, not prolonged periods of pressure.

As the season comes to the boil teams’ true natures are revealed. Once again it is Roma who seem the only foes worthy of challenging Inter. For them it is far too late though, meaning we could see a procession, not a race, to the Scudetto

I completely agree with the bolded part...Milan's first goal was created through great build-up play, something that we are sorely missing. We badly need a playmaker in the middle

It was freaking Kaladze charging forward with the ball.

It was poor defending for the first goal because both Mellberg and Grygera went towards Kaladze which made it easy for him to get the ball to Ronaldinho.

Chiellini then tried to close him, but failed, which left only Molinaro of our back four close to being in position.

Your point may be valid in general, but that Milan goal isn't a good example.

Wasn't our third goal scored in a very similar fashion as Milan's first goal?

The guy who won the ball in midfield passed to a guy on the left side who passed/crossed it to the striker in the middle.
The only difference is that the Milan kept it on the ground all the time while our last pass was a high ball.

We talked with Jack earlier today about the stats on this match. We had 20 shots and 10 corners while Milan had 7 shots 3 corners. They had almost 60% of the possession while we had 40% possession. They made billion passes while we kept it simple. Yet we destroyed them.

I don't understand people's obsession with passing and possession. The best two teams in Italy are consisted of hard workers and no fantasista. Look at Inter's midfield. Zanetti, Cambiasso, Muntari and Stankovic. It's even less talented than our midfield and yet it's dominating serie A on sheer force.

Oh, as for the article, i find it disgusting how everyone underestimates us. No matter how well we do, Roma are concidered to be the team worthy of challenging Inter(previously it was Milan).
It's fine though. I hope they will keep underestimating us, especially our rival teams should keep doing that. But it hurts to see how no-one aknowledges that we're actually a very good team.
