“We are disappointed and not bitter, but refereeing errors have cost us six points"
Nothing strange with this quote, eh ? Normal moaning.
But i bet you'll change your opinion when you'll hear that it was said by Adriano Galliani.
Adriano Galliani and Milan complaining about the referee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll shoot myself

Spalletti Impressed By Lavezzi
Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti has expressed his admiration for Napoli star Ezequiel Lavezzi and says that the striker would fit perfectly into his Roma team.
The Argentine star joined Napoli in the summer from San Lorenzo and has had an explosive start to life in Serie A with a series of sparkling performances.
Lavezzi was in scintillating form once more on Saturday evening during the incredible 4-4 draw with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
The 22-year-old opened the scoring in the game and then went on a superb solo run in the second-half, shrugging off three defenders before thumping the underside of the crossbar.
Spalletti was certainly impressed with what he saw and has offered Lavezzi a glowing tribute.
“I've been impressed by him since the beginning of this season,” admitted Spalletti.
“Napoli have really pulled off a good transfer coup. He is a player that has quality, speed and inspiration. He has attributes that resemble those of my Roma team."
Lavezzi has certainly been hitting the headlines recently following the bizarre road-range incident involving him and his girlfriend in Naples ten days ago.
The youngster was reportedly caught up in a blazing row with the occupants of a car he had collided with, and his girlfriend then took of her belt and whipped a nearby person in the face.

I hope he didnt put crazy ideas in Rossellas head.I want to see him in Juve.

Serie A Team Of The Week: Round 8
Team of the week (4-3-3):
Balli (Empoli): Ambrosini and Inzaghi still regret the opportunities they missed thanks to a great Balli who saved the Tuscan side whenever he was called in action.
Cordoba (Inter): Great start to the season for the Colombian defender who plays one excellent game after another for the Nerazzurri.
Pasqual (Fiorentina): Good push forward on the wing, sending out some pin pointed crosses towards the middle, but also diligent work in the defensive department.
Siviglia (Lazio): The Biancocelesti cannot do without him, and his return following the injury is a major boost for the Roman club ahead of their next delicate clashes in Serie A and the Champions League.
Legrottaglie (Juventus): Juve fans will be happy that Legro has returned to his best form (Chievo days), considering the poor start of the season for the Bianconeri's rearguard.
Pizarro (Roma): Wonderful game by the Chilean midfielder who united quality and quantity, scoring even a goal in the process.
De Rossi (Roma): Roma's engine. Never gets tired and is always on the run doing all that he can for the Giallorossi's cause.
Cambiasso (Inter): Great link between the defence and midfield. One of the best defensive midfielders in the world.
Totti (Roma): Scored from the penalty, but more importantly he masterminded all the Roma attacks. Despite being over 30, he is still brilliant.
Pazzini (Fiorentina): Goals and assists for the young forward who was the best player for the Viola on Sunday, thus forming an excellent partnership with Mutu upfront.
Del Piero (Juventus): The new contract seemed to have revived him as he scored a technically great goal and played a very good game overall.
Honourable Mention
Toldo (Inter)
Nesta (Milan)
Raggi (Empoli)
Donadel (Fiorentina)
Mutarelli (Lazio)
Adriano (Inter)
Saudati (Empoli)

Suspected calf sprain for Vieira
MOSCOW - Inter midfielder Patrick Vieira was substituted in the 17th minute of this evening's Champions League game against CSKA Moscow with a suspected calf strain in his right leg. The player's injury will be assessed in the coming days.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I read he is out for +/- 2 months so he will miss the match against Juve.

Disguised Success
Serie A has had its image tarnished, but a fantastic showcase of football has begun to rebuild it.
As I left my seat, number 267, came down seven flights of stairs and exited the Orange Quad of the Emirates Stadium towards Finsbury Park station on Saturday, I was faced with a tough decision. Either I found a way through all the delays and cancellations of London’s Underground, to a bar that was showing the 5pm Serie A game, or, alternatively, I would be attempting to find a pub for an 8pm rugby match.
My options - Roma v Napoli or England v South Africa. Difference? One was football, the other was rugby. One was the Derby of the Sun, one was the Rugby World Cup Finale. Of course, with the added pressure of two friends who deplored me to watch the rugby, I followed them to a classy pub. On my way their, I received a text from Rome from a fanatical friend who follows AS Roma as religiously as the Pope follows Catholicism - ‘I’ll die of heart attack tonight…4-4! And five more minutes to go…can’t believe it’.
‘Why’ was the question that was going through my mind. Why had I travelled to find a nice pub showing the final game of the Rugby World Cup, and missed a quite fantastic showcase of football. Of course, my mind debated back and forth with itself; ‘it’s England, it’s the final, no questions!’. But Saturday’s 4-4 goal fest between two Italian football giants is a clear message to those that tarnish the Italian game by describing it as boring.
The goals were superb, the intensity was superb, and Serie A is looking (you guessed it) superb. Unfortunately, due to political and security reasons, their were no tickets sold to Napoli fans and instead there were 35,000 or more Roma fans who witnessed the eight goals. Luckily, the football that is being played on the pitch by teams like Roma, Inter and, surprisingly, Udinese, is taking away from the realities of the game’s problems off the pitch. This week Inter were fined €30,000 for a banner the Curva Nord displayed during the match against Napoli, which was deemed racist. Napoli were not given tickets for the encounter with Roma, and extra police protection has been bought in for Italian head of referees, Pierluigi Collina, after he received threats with regards to referee selection for certain matches.
So it may not be all smiles off the pitch, but the on-pitch display of Fiorentina, who maintained their unbeaten start to the season in the Tuscan derby with Siena, was comparable to watching Milan demolish Lazio a couple of weeks earlier. Juventus overcame their tough battle with Genoa, as new contract boy Alessandro Del Piero grabbed the winning goal. And it turned out to be a double celebration for him, with his wife giving birth to their first child on Monday. You never know, but rumour has it he might end up calling it Marcello - after Marcello Lippi, the manager who gave Del Boy his first opportunity. With Roma drawing in that awesome game with Napoli (although of course it was heartbreak for my AS Roma friend), Milan stuttered again, losing 0-1 to Empoli at the San Siro. Who ever said that Serie A was predictable? Every week it seems there is at least one surprise result.
The crises in Milan are deepening, and this week they must win two crucial matches. Shakhtar are first, in the Champions League, and then they play the irresistible Roma at the weekend. Milan are helped by the fact that both these fixtures will be at home, but both will severely test the European champions.
This Sunday’s mouth-watering tie at the San Siro will provide a clearer indication of whether Totti and co can maintain their title bid, while Maldini and co have to demonstrate they can turn things around. Milan aren’t completely out of the title race, but with too many drawn games added to the fact that they are not creative enough, have an injury prone strike-force and rely heavily on the most likely winner of the Ballon d’Or, Kaka, Milan need the win more than their opponents. With Inter winning once again (and Adriano scoring the winner!), Juventus determined, and Fiorentina surprising even the one-time Florence favourite Gabriel ‘Batty Gol’ Batistuta, Milan and Roma finished week eight knowing three points is imperative come week nine.
In three weeks time, a quarter of the season will be up. So far it has flown by, most likely because of the ease and passion in which Serie A has been played over the last several weeks. Now, the league is one of the most exciting to watch. And I cannot emphasise just enough how mouth-watering next week’s matches are. Week 9 is like a Christmas weekend. Old rivalries are ignited, potential banana skins are everywhere - and a few fair goals are predicted too.
So, wherever you are next weekend, and whatever you are doing, try your hardest to tune into the game of the season so far: Crisis Club A (the Rossoneri) up against Crisis Club B (the Giallorossi). I may have spent my Saturday night watching a disappointing game of rugby, but I promise you won’t be disappointed by this Sunday’s clash.
Arrivederci
Goal of the Week: Fiorentina’s goals!
Player of the week: Del Boy Del Piero - scored, new contract, first-time father; and Adriano - well done for starting a game
Team of the week: Empoli - masterminded a victory against European champions Milan
Quote of the Week: Cesare Prandelli remains coy on Fiorentina’s start - “Are we in the title race? We just want to keep up this kind of performance.”

I hear that many of you want Milan to beat Roma today.
I don't want that to happen. If Milan beats Roma we'll get two strong and dangerous opponents close to us. If it's a draw or Roma wins we'll still keep the distance with one of them (in this case Milan).
I want a draw today, or maybe Roma to win it. But i don't want a home win. Roma without Totti, Aquilani and Taddei while Milan without Jankulovski, Oddo and Ronaldo, who is out since the summer.
