Inter went through a period where they had about 3 penalties against them in the space of a few games didn't they? Then they played us and Marchisio wasn't allowed one.

And red card to Inter's goalkeeper when he fouled Marchisio on the same play, as well.

Some fantastic Juve snubbing there.

 

[Nicholas]

Buffon is the best keeper in the World.

Barzagli arguably the best defender in Europe at the minute.

Vidal, Pirlo and Marchisio the best midfielders in A.

Licht the best RB in Europe. Easily.

 

[Salvatore]

I think that's for 2010-11, with Eto'o being there.

 

[X Æ A-12]

It's for the calender year of 2011...

 

[Nicholas]

Oh

 

[ALC]

I agree with it.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Aren't the Calcio Oscars always for the calender year? Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I thought.

 

[Salvatore]

It's for the calender year of 2011...

Okay, I just saw Barzagli (+Milan's points total +Cavani's goal total). It's a weird system, all these fucking awards should be done at the end of each season.

 

[X Æ A-12]

IMO the biggest snub has got to be Conte. He should at least have made the top three for his work at Juve.

 

[Flamez]

I don't get how Barzagli and Benatia are runner-ups for defender of the year and fall behind Nesta and Ranocchia in the pecking order for the team of the year.

Anyway, I just don't agree with the coach award (would've given it to Guidolin without even thinking much about it) and some of the choices in the TOTY (subjective). Perhaps the best club could've been Napoli too.

 

[ALC]

He'll get it next year. Matter of fact, if Conte wins the scudetto and coppa, he should win the coach of the year award, not that dipshit Guardiola.

 

[Mark]

f*ck those fake awards, we take the real honors. 29.

 

[ALC]

How nuts would it be if next year we have 4 stars? All because of Conte

 

[Juve Fanatico]

You're right, my mistake.

But the odds of Milan winning three points is still very high, which still makes the Juve match up a must win.

No worries.

We do need the 3 points badly. Gonna be a tough match.

 

[The Curr]

Or they tried to force him to take drugs.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

You think so?

 

[The Curr]

That's what I thought when I read it. I don't necessarily mean banned substances.
