I'm sure they'll leave Milano with two points in bag :D
I'd prefer if they win 3, and all 3 against Milan.
With this shit the refs have been serving us we have no chance to catch Inter. That's why we should at least hope Milan and Fiorentina will lose points.

It'll be great if they leave Milano with all 6 points in the bag though :D

That's my lineup

If Stendardo is back

Buffon
Zebina Legrottaglie Stendardo Chiellini
Camoranesi Sissoko Zanetti Nedved
Trezeguet Del Piero​

That's the best lineup we could put out. You could argue iaquinta should start but he always plays better from the bench.

I disagree with this sentence in general. If you're a good player, well, you ARE a good player, whether you start the match or coming from the bench. Iaquinta is a very good player. In fact he is good enough to start some matches.

He is good enough to start any match.

I'm not saying he's a bad player I'm just saying this year he's played better coming from the bench.

It appears that way because he's so intense that when he's put up against a tiring opposition he gets past with speed alone, where as Del Piero, who's somewhat slower, can orchestrate a play much better. It depends on the situation really.

Noce and Trez should be benched (about time) for this one. It would be just fair if Iaquinta is given a chance...

Yes, that's exactly what i wanted to hear :D
If Roma beats us 1:0 and scores after the ref gives them an inexistant penalty, some people here will start swearing at Inter and Moratti when in reality, Roma winning is exactly what Inter and Moratti don't want to happen.
You shouldn't have said that before the match in the hope that someone would have blamed Moratti. Always a next time I suppose.

No, i'm serious
What would you think if the ref gives a very dubious penalty to Roma and they beat us 1:0 ?
I think the opposite will most likely to happen because

1. Inter and Roma are only 8 points apart
2. If Juventus are to win at Stadio Olimpico and Inter are to win, 11 points apart from top of the table. This is a fight to shorten the gap for 2nd place and it is played at the home side. Inter is also looking forward to this game to strengthen their lead
3. You already know the long lasting hatred between Roma and Juventus, and if Roma is awarded a penalty, the fans will tear the referee apart and you will see chaos in the stadium, just like what happened to Farina in the Catania game. Certainly the referee will favour Juventus to save his ass. And if he gives Roma the advantages.........................God Bless him.

This will only be a slim victory for Juventus, and Inter winning again, by refereeing decisions

I can say it 100 more times and Turk will still blame Moratti if Roma gets a dubious penalty and beats us :D

@ ZhiXin ,
That's exactly why i said there will be many more reasons for suspicion if we are the ones who'll get a dubious penalty, not Roma.

And 1 more thing you forgot to mention :
4. If we win by a dubious penalty no-one will blame Moratti and Inter. Newspapers and people will say "Juve did it again. Cheaters will always stay cheaters"

Moratti can kill two birds with one stone.

Let people say what they want to, after all it is only a "if" scenario. People will still say Juventus are cheats etc etc etc

About point 4, I'm not so sure about that, let's see how Inter performs. I will give my comment after the game, provided that everything goes very smooth for Juventus

I pity the referee for this game as he has to be exceptionally fair. Either way he will be torn apart.
