Come on guys, the guy was one of my favorite coaches in the Ligue, he created one of the most entertaining teams I've ever watched in the Ligue. He's French and you all know how much I love French football :D

For what its worth, I fully expect Juve to win the Serie A eventually, I can't see any other team winning it. :agree:

They've been impressive, but they won't keep this up for too long. They just don't have enough depth, and really Cannavaro sold the game yesterday. They were not that solid yesterday, or else they would not have allowed two clear cut chances for Napoli to score. As soon as Totti left the game injured, you could see the huge drop in creativity in the final third. Imagine if he's out for 3-4 weeks(which is inevitable at some point due to his age). I'd be surprised if, come the end of the season they end up ahead of Napoli.

That being said, I wish Garcia all the best, and I actually hope he wins the league,:xfinger: I just cant see it happening though.
You just described Arsenal and Ozil.

Would you also wish him to win the league if he goes to manage Real Madrid?

What decisions ? lol..None of them have been game changing ones and those 'questionable' calls in favor of them have been 50-50 and not exactly blatant decisions.Its not as clear cut as we've received in our games.Every game they've played ,they've looked the superior team by a stretch and its no fluke that they've won 8 out of 8.They've earned every single win out there by playing excellent footy.
'Decisions' is probably the wrong word on my part, more like 'rub of the green', call it what you will. We had it during our unbeaten season in some games.

To win 8 straight games the team has to either be too good for the rest of the league, or you need things to break well for you. Roma are no Barcelona, so a mixture of their good play and breaks (Napoli's missed chances for example) are the only way a team like that gets 8 straight wins.

As I said, we'll see their real strength during a difficult period. Imagine they had lost the 2nd or 3rd game in, they might have lost 2 or 3 games already. Squeak through them and it breeds confidence, now they probably feel like they can win every game. Such is the way with Roma I'm still not fully convinced by them, they have too often been a fragile beast, and their fans turn quickly.

Tbh Roma reminds me a bit of us in 2011/12. Strong 1st team, not much depth, but no European competition. I don't however expect them to repeat our feat, as I don't think that they have the mentality needed to win the scudetto, something very important and often overlooked. Also, they're extremely reliant on Totti, if he detiriorates/gets injured, they're pretty much screwed.
Still, they could very well end up to be our most serious contender for 1st place and we should under no circumstances underestimate them.

All their dreas will crash when we end their unbeatenrun :D


Bu seriously.. is kind of nice to see another team doing decently in the league apart of us :p.

No jk, we are not being good as of late... but maybe is a good thing we are having tough competition to make our players eager to improve.... because if every team was shocking , i think our players would not give their very best.
