Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Juventus director general Luciano Moggi insists the championship race is not over despite his club’s commanding lead at the top of the table.

The Bianconeri are now eight points clear of their closest rivals, following an amazing 13 wins from 14 games, but the official insists there is still plenty to play for.

"You really can’t say that the Scudetto race is over," stated the transfer guru. "We haven’t killed the championship.

"All I can say is that we are satisfied with what we are doing, but the road ahead is still a long one."

Juventus extended their lead over Milan from five to eight points at the weekend, thanks to the Rossoneri’s loss at Chievo and their victory in Florence.

"The result rewarded our performance," added Moggi after the Viola struck the woodwork on three occasions.

"We won a game against a very good Fiorentina to demonstrate that the whole team is in good condition."

Christian Abbiati was again handed the gloves in goal after Gigi Buffon admitted he wasn’t totally ready to return in Serie A following injury.

But Moggi has reassured fans that the world’s best ‘keeper will soon be back in between the sticks at the Stadio Delle Alpi.

"In the space of one or two games, he will also be in the peak of his condition like the rest of the side," he concluded.<br><br>Source: Football Italia

We've been here before much later in the season. Last season. (I won't rat a certain zambrotta19 out. ;)) A lot can happen from here.

But you have to appreciate this position for what it's worth. 51 consecutive match weeks at the top of the table. The biggest lead this early in the season since the introduction of the 3-point win back in 84-85. Not too shabby.

So to paraphrase The Wolf from Pulp Fiction, before we go sucking each others' #%@&s, we better stay serious and continue to get better. Because the CL is going to grind us down more and more at every level, and the long Serie A campionato won't get any easier than we've got right now.
