Wow Napoli are beating Lazio 4-3! Lazio went 2-0 up then Napoli pulled two back, Lazio then went 3-2 up then had a player sent off and Napoli scored two more. Napoli are now only 3 points behind us and play before we do! Luckily they still have to play merda

Roma-Juve to finish off a good weekend of Serie A football tonight, hopefully it won't disappoint after some of the other games.

Catania beat Palermo 4-0! Just goes to show how lucky Palermo were when we played them! And Udinese lost as well...for the first time this year!

I can't believe I missed that game!(The Napoli-Lazio one)

Lazio did a "Lampard" like the on at the WC.
Can't believe it happend again !

oh palermo coach will be sacked soon

I don't think so, Cosmi was signed not long ago. Three coaches in one season?

Seems about right

It's Zamparini we're talking about .

Zamparini is not exactly a rational person.

Parma sack Marino

Roma 0-0 Juve at the half.

That tie is eligible to be tipped a decisive tie .. Milan have some tough fixtures ahead;

Fiorentina(A) - Has a good chance to achieve Europa League, with 42 points - last EL chair is 50 points.

Sampdoria(H) - Potential relegation dog-fight, with 32 points - lowest is 20 points.

Brescia(A) - Potential relegation dog-fight, with 29 points.

Bologna(H) - Has a good chance to achieve Europa League, with 40 points.

Roma(A) - They are motivated to make the Champions League, especially with a new owner. They currently occupy the last EL chair, with 50 points - lowest CL chair is 56 points.

Cagliari(H) Last game of the season anyways .. If we keep racking up the points, it wouldn't matter anyways


So yeah, but who knows how the table will evolve, inter could just free-fall, with upcoming CL & Coppa games thrown in the fixture list.

But I think Italy found a very hungry Napoli, whom most likely will secured CL qualification. This team is the revelation of this season in my opinion, the South need a team that can deliver something meaningful .. And what is more meaningful than a CL tie at the San Paolo.

2011 - After all the sh1t that you have brought with you; the Che esque revolutions that has shaken the Arab world, the World Cup going to Qatar, the Tsunami that hit Japan .. and finally I hope you allow Milan to win this Scudetto or else I will be shelving you right behind 2010,2009,2008, & 2005 !

P.S. Juventus scored an amazing goal .. Just a side note, Juventus were 5 points away from Roma, now if the result stays as is, Juve will be 2 points within EL qualification.

You forgot Udinese away (our last game).

juve 2-0 winners so tuttosports basically will go crazy tomarrow

Roma did not deserve to lose by that margin IMO.

PLEASE don't tell me you're a Mubarak/Ghaddafi supporter?

Leave politics and opinions for yourselfs said Johnny Cash, and he was a wise man.


Indeed. Trouble is, how to maintain their level? We've seen Roma, Samp, Genoa and Fiorentina doing similar things, yet they never really achieved somethings in the European competitions and could maintain their success for a limited period. IMO Napoli now needs cash, and we'll see how deep De Laurentis pocket is.

And Zamparini called Rossi back. What a guy, what a comedian!

Why would I support a ruler of a different country?

Exactly. Investing to break into the CL is one thing, investing to stay there is even harder, in my opinion.

On money.. What're Roma's possible new owners like? Do they have money?

well diBenedetto has promised 6 world class players and a new stadium...
if he follows through on half of that, i doubt anyone will protest. I personally, outside of a GK and a good coach, wouldn't know where to start fixing roma.

he is a joke

Backline would be my first investment. Then a proper striker.

I think Zamp is holding Palermo back with his idiotic decisions. if I were Pastore (or any other young talent for that matter), I'd consider leaving.. there's no future at a club with that madman as president.

I have no idea, that's why I asked...

And did I ask for your opinion ?

Apart from the fact that I wasn't giving you my 'opinion' (incidentally, I asked you about yours)... you do realise this is a forum, right? Opnions are kinda sorta the name of the game here.

Take it easy dudes.

Just for the record, I have been debating you over issues involving the Arab world on many occasions, and your views are always skewed to your perceptions and your insights on THE matters for which I have been living with on a day to day basis. You have a right to your opinion, as I do my own, so to make things clear from where I stand here's my last 2 cents and you can make whatever you want of it.

I do not share allegiance with a Libyan/Egyptian leader .. Just for your reference then, the reason I dislike Mubarak/Qaddafi is the fact that they are not patriotic to their respective countries. The majority of the Arab world's modern day rulers are no different, yet the US-Allied coalition support them blindly until they expire, as what happened. This is a FACT that we in the Arab world have to endure, not necessarily something you need to agree on. There are tones of articles & statistical figures furnished on Amnesty International & the Human Rights Watch which shed light on the miss conduct of those two regimes for 30 years now. Did they just turn into bad guys over night?

There are millions in this region and they are all created from flesh & blood just like you, they all have ambitions and they all have dignity .. Yet, the mainstream media suppress this and it is easy to manipulate the masses of onlookers who do not have first hand exposure to the Arab world. Of course this was further supported by the weakness of Arab countries due to a 'divide & conquer' policy which was a direct result of our colonization.

And if you think that after the dust settles in, there will be a brighter future for Libya/Tunisia/Egypt? Then you have to understand one thing .. presidents/rulers/monarchs are appointed first by the blessings of those who have a direct/indirect interest in this region's strategic resources, this being said you have a lot of double-standards in the US-Allied coalition's foreign policy.

No? OK, why did the US-Allied coalition back a Saudi army to enter Bahrain and tame protesters, something the mainstream media seemed to miss out on, while pointing fingers and bombarding Egypt/Libya ?

My background, to better understand why I perceive matters as highlighted above:
Finally a brief background on my native Kuwait; a tiny democratic country with a parliament and whose members are elected by the people, with a constitution formally approved by the Emir of Kuwait dated Jan-1963. The same was drafted by the British, who dictated Kuwait's foreign policy from the time of signing an agreement in 1899 which pledged Kuwait's foreign affairs to be dealt strictly with British consent.

The reason for the democracy that was instilled was due to the circumstances of the time, where there were rising tensions across the Arab world, post the 'Balfour Declaration' .. At a time where the Nasserism movement against the imperialists who colonized North Africa and the Middle East. Hence democracy was drafted by the British Protectorate, under HH the Queen, in order to maintain stability in an oil producing nation (which represents 3rd largest exporter of oil under OPEC) and not to cause a revolt against the ruling family who have 'signed agreements' of commitment/safety/understanding with the British.

The success of the same was later implemented in other British protectorates within the Arabian Gulf States through semi-democratic councils, such as in Saudi Arabia's 'Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia' .. With the rest of the Arabian Gulf States following in a similar mold.

With that said, let it be noted that if the US-Allied coalition instructed the Arabian Gulf States rulers to stick their thumbs up their asses, rest assured that is what will happen.

In closing .. History is the mother of all teachers, a little research from unbiased sources can portray a better picture of the time-line of events since the establishment of the Ottoman Empire to-date; depicting the history of this region, its people and the geo-political changes that have occurred. As an onlooker, it is easy to be manipulated to think; Muslims=Barbarians=Arabs=Terrorists=Justified Extermination. Which will indefinitely add credibility to any form of foreign-intervention into the region.


P.S. My intention is not to point fingers, but to portray the actual consensus from the heart of the Arab world. And to each his own opinion thereof.

Great post R7, nothing to add really from my perspective.

That guy R7...some dude huh?! I taught him everything he knows.

Funny thing is, I actually agree with most of what you're saying. But you've obviously made up your mind about how I think about everything already, so I see no point trying to respond. Let's just say I'm not a big fan of holier-than-thou attitudes and the sort of caricatured, nonsensical smears like the "equation" at the end of your post (bolded).
If you are seriously saying that's what "we" think, then the discussion ends right there.

But I do applaud you on managing, in a post about the Middle East spanning 41 lines, not to even mention the fact that your own country would be a part of Iraq right now if it wasn't for the cynical, opportunist, oppressive double moralists that is the USA.

Hmm.... you actually believe that the US was just looking out for the forces of liberty etc etc.? Really?

Well said.

No, of course they were looking to expand their evil empire (all orchestrated by the vile Zionists, of course) and steal all their oil, just as they did in East Timor and the Balkans... makes perfect sense doesn't it? Except that you still have all your work still ahead of you in actually proving any of this, let alone make it sound convincing to those of us who don't subscribe to Michael Moore for how to view the world.

All this seemingly stems from the notion that America, or any other NATO country, can never be a moral agent, ever. I take it you would have seen 'ulterior motives' if they had intervened to stop the massacres in Sudan and Rwanda as well?
Anyways, do you think Kuwait and people like Rossoneri7 would have been better off under the Hussein regime? Do tell.

If you're propounding the lesser of two evils viewpoint, I agree with you. But that's enough. This is the Serie A thread.

Relax Jack, R7 is obviously on topic...


See? 1899... R7 is obviously talking about Milan's founding and how it's a Muslim team... and what Locke says is that everyone related to Milan must die.

Saved you some reading, you're welcome.

This post makes your @ss look fat.

You like it that way?

No. Your cleavage to butt ratio is a little too skewered for my taste. I dunno about Max. I liked you before the implants.

To quote Bruno Mars, "You're amazing..just the way you are!!"

Yeah, now that's off topic. And offside as well!

both naploi and inter play before us. I dont really like this because if they both win their game sthen there will be so much pressure on us...

on the contrary i think it will spur us on to win even more and beat our opponents.

Indeed. And this season Milan proved to be stronger when under pressure.

Crossed fingers for an Inter draw,let's go Chievo!

Froza Jokic & Cesear!!

2-0

Inter played crap, but Chievo were crap as well.

napoli won 2-0 as well. Now we need to react

Someone stop Napoli
