I think its a three horse race with Inter, Milan and Juve. However, the likes of Palermo, Fiorentina and even Roma might have a say in where the scudetto goes this time around. My prediction: Internazionale.

Inter have a good chance of being successful this year IMO but whether they'll win the Scudetto, the Coppa or even the Champions League I do not know. One thing is for sure though, Roberto Mancini has one hell of a squad at his disposal. If they gel together nicely and Roberto gets his tactics right they could very well win their first league title since whenever they last won it, but again, only time will tell. How far the big three progress in the CL will also be a factor in the winning of the Scudetto.
I absolutely loved Mancini as a player. One of the very best I have ever been able to witness live. But my God is he overrated to the extreme as a coach? Hell yes he is. And he's a stupid arrogant bastid as well.
Now, I admit that sometimes I feel almost sorry for Inter and that given all the extra entertainment they provide us with it would be nice to see them win something for once. But having had to endure their sarcasm in the obscure mid-eighties and most of all having witnessed firsthand their utter stupidity when they won the scudetto in 89 (somehow they considered their record serie A run as 10 times the achievement of our phenomenal CL conquest that year) I can safely say that it is in everybody's best interest that Inter rest hohoho.
Seriously, you don't want to know what a happy interista looks like.

Yes for a few years in the eighties there were several seasons with multiple challengers for the league...
But since then it has never been more than a 2 or 3 at most horse race... A myth built on a few seasopns in one decade... look at the last 15 years ....
89/90 2 teams in it : napoli & milan
90/91 Samp had an easy ride, milan and inter fought closely for 2nd
91/92 Easy for milan and an easy 2nd for juve
92/93 2 teams fought it out, milan and inter
93/94 2 teams, milan and juve
94/95 easy juve
95/96 easy milan and easy 2nd for juve
96/97 2 teams, juve and parma
97/98 a stroll for juve, easy 2nd for inter
98/99 milan and lazio left the rest for dust in their close race
99/00 close lazio and juve
00/01 close roma and juve, lazio threatened to spoil the party
01/02 close juve, roma and inter
02/03 inter flattered to deceive throughout but the reality was a stroll for juve
03/04 piece of cake for milan
04/05 close for juve and milan for the most part
16 seasons and never more than 3 with even a chance... mostly only one or two....
Serie A is not a competitive league and rarely in its history has been... Those competing for the crown jus rotate more often...
