Udinese played much better football last season when they had Sanchez. This season they are much more functional and solid defensively. Again, they are another team who rely on individual brilliance of (two players) Handanovic and Di Natale.

Flamez, Milan have had plenty of luck this season FFS, referee calls, cheap own goals, undeserved penalties. Where did I say Ibra was lucky? I said he was the reason they win some games because of his awesome ability. Milan would be half the team without him.

Udine's population is 99k and the urban area is 175k inhabitants.

They had attendances in the 35-40k range in the early 1980s, they will for sure be able to fill the 25k week in week out.

A new, modern stadium attracts much bigger crowds than old olympic stadiums, our attendances this season is a good example(our average at the olimpico was about 21k/28k).
I genuinely hope you are right, I think more than any team at the top they are a brand that deserves to be fighting for the Scudetto. As for Juventus' new stadium yeah, I think it's good they're selling close to every seat every week, this is what a strong league is based on. Half empty stadiums (albeit a better atmosphere than most EPL grounds when full) are killing this league and are so unsightly.

Indeed. If you're interested in the future stadiums of Italian football, you can always participate in this topic :)

You forgot (arguably) the biggest contributor to this Udinese team.
Agreed, they must keep hold of him. I think the 3-1 last season vs Inter and his borderline humiliation of Milan at San Siro shows he is very, very intelligent, sadly didn't have the tools at his disposal to beat Arsenal and the gunners also rode their luck a little in that tie.

I disagree, players like Isla, Badu, Armero, Asamoah, Pinzi are the ones who make all the things happen on that squad. Sure Di Natale gets all the credit because of his great goal scoring record, but I noticed watching them this season, everyone around him runs soooo much, he's hardly left with any work to do by the time he gets the ball, but he's really a genius with his runs though a defense and ability to get open space. They also have a very solid defensive unit, and great coach.

I wasn't referring particularly to anyone dude, as almost the whole forum share your opinion. :p

Refs have bad calls in almost every game. It already happened against us and favouring us this year. Same could be said about Milan. Juventus shouldn't seek for excuses really, even if there were some games that looked indeed a little biased by the refs' part (Milan 2-2 Bologna coming to my mind).

I dont find anything in the EPL overly exciting TBH. Infact I think I'm a bit over that league.
I don't like City one single bit, but you gotta appreciate Silva's excessive quality.

Silva, Aguero and Nasri are pure love from a football fan prespective.

They sure did. Udinese was all over them at Etihad but just couldn't get that ball into the back of the net.

I do know that acmilan is a cool guy, and a closet Juve fan too :)P), but do we really want another Milanista here?

I don't like it.

Experience gap between the clubs, although Arsenal did get lucky with the amount of times Udinese hit the post (and the penalty).

Yeah Guidolin is a pretty damn good coach. Perfect for a team like Udinese, don't think he'd work well at a bigger club.
He's admitted that he doesn't want to move to a bigger team and is happy at Udinese. The Di Natale of coaches.

From a Milan fan perspective, that game was embarrassing to watch, Bologna deserved the win and the ref was a fucking joke, I don't like seeing any team achieving results by these types of means, whether it was arranged by a higher power or not, it is unfair and damages the reputation of the league. Thing is, this happens more often than many like to admit in so many games, just as blatant as this, and I think calciopoli definitely made followers of this league a whole heap more paranoid about every decision.

As for City, yeah, Silva is a sublime player, I also like Yaya Toure and Agüero too, Nasri somewhat too. They're entertaining to watch and I'd rather they win the EPL than United (although Arsenal would be my preferred choice) but I don't like their fans, not one bit. Both manchester clubs have utter pricks for fans.
