Pizarro still livid at San Siro ref
Tuesday 20 October, 2009
Roma midfielder David Pizarro was fined for punching a TV prop and is still furious at the refereeing in Milan.

The Giallorossi were incensed after the 2-1 defeat at San Siro on Sunday night and, as he left the field, Pizarro punched a hole in the advertising board used by Sky Italia television for post-match interviews.

The Disciplinary Commission has fined the Chilean 3,000 Euros for the gesture, but several days later he is still steaming.

“We should’ve won and even a draw would have been unfair,” snapped Pizarro in the Corriere dello Sport.

“[Referee Roberto] Rosetti had two different ways of refereeing, one in the first half and one in the second.

“Every time we go to Milan, something weird happens…”

Roma felt they deserved a penalty for a Thiago Silva challenge on Jeremy Menez and that the penalty for Nicolas Burdisso’s tackle on Alessandro Nesta was unfair.

Serie A is extremely competitive this year. However, is that due to the mediocrity of the league? Are the bigger teams becoming more vulnerable, weaker, and more predictable? Are the smaller teams investing wisely and intelligently to bridge the gap? Or is it a combination of all the aforementioned factors?

Time to ponder and procrastinate.

I think it is all of the above, and we will probably see the middle/low teams becoming even more competitive once this new TV rights/Breakaway deal comes into place next season.

I'd say at the end of the season the table will look something like that:

1- Inter
2- Juve
3- Genoa
4- Fiorentina

Milan and Roma are just not good enough to be up there with these teams. And to say the truth both Genoa and Fiorentina deserve to be in the CL next year with all the investment that they've done in the past years....

By that logic inter deserved to win more scudetto's over the last 15yrs because Morratti pumped huge amounts into transfers.:seven:

Eto'o needs service. He's been used to playing around players like Xavi, Messi, Ronaldinho, Deco and Iniesta. Have to say, its not the same as playing ahead of the likes of Stankovic, Sneider and Muntari. The latter set of players aren't exactly the type that ooze creativity.

Milito has been better for Inter up till now, that much is true.

Man Shitty will not qualify for the CL, and if they make it to the Europa league next season, they shall be unceremoniously knocked out by a minnow. At least that is what I am hoping for.

Sorry for derailing the thread :p :oops:

Serie A top 4:

Inter
Juventus
Fiorentina
Milan

in that order
