Thought so too. The proverbial bawhair awayLooked in to me
............ that'll be Inter then.Is this '10 in a row' Juventus are going for now? Far past time that sort of run was ended.
I don't think there's a country in the world that has as many truly great football clubs as Italy. Its high time another one of them stepped up to the mark.
Jive huge favourites as normal? who will be best of the rest?The best league in the world starts back tonight.
Fancy Inter for the title this year as they've retained Conte, some players and signed Hakimi. Still lacking in squad depth and losing Tonali to their rivals was criminal.
Tonight's games
Fiorentina v Torino 5PM
Veron v Roma 7:45PM.
Fiorentina opened last season with a thrilling match against Napoli, this wont be as exciting as Torino generally depend on Belotti to even be competent. Verona are solid defensively and well organised, Roma have lost Kolorov and have yet to replace an ageing Dzeko. Zaniolo out for a while with his second ACL injury is a blow, he's only a kid and is their playmaker.
2-1 Fiorentina and 1-0 Roma IMO.

Realistically do you give Inter a chance though?2 horse race, Juve 4/5 area and Inter 2/1 - over 10s the rest.
Realistically do you give Inter a chance though?
Fair enough. Only see a few games too.I don't really watch it to be honest, let themselves down last season mind what I did see.
Yeah mate, inter were on course till about December then squad depth let them done. Over reliance on the two front guys is still an issue though.Realistically do you give Inter a chance though?
Only won it by a point in the end, admittedly they wrapped it up with a few games to go.Fair enough. Only see a few games too.
Bet Juve romp it again
Fair enough. Surely over a season that depth pays dividends again?Yeah mate, inter were on course till about December then squad depth let them done. Over reliance on the two front guys is still an issue though.
I’m quietly confident, however Juve’s depth is beyond ridiculous. Inter have the best manager right enough.
The best of the rest will likely be Napoli (if they keep KK), Atalanta and Milan.
Job done, shut it downOnly won it by a point in the end, admittedly they wrapped it up with a few games to go.
Pretty much anyone but Juve haha, Inter have strengthened with experienced pros as back up. Losing out on Tonali was criminal, but I’m sure If Conte ends Juve’s fun then nobody will care.Fair enough. Surely over a season that depth pays dividends again?
You’re an inter man?
Because of the match fixing scandals?Pretty much anyone but Juve haha, Inter have strengthened with experienced pros as back up. Losing out on Tonali was criminal, but I’m sure If Conte ends Juve’s fun then nobody will care.
Actually not mate, I don’t hate them in all honesty. It’s more I just want them to lose for interest if you get me?.Because of the match fixing scandals?
Wasn't Conte not getting criticised for his recruitment in signing older players with no potential/sell on value like Kolarov and Vidal about to be confirmed?I'm buzzing for it.
Strongly fancy Inter, Hakimi is going to be an absolute star in Conte's system and Kolarov is still a big upgrade on the other side. Get the Vidal deal over the line and they are ready to go.
Yeah he was, because he was messing about with them he missed out on Sandro. But short term they are good signings and will help them win the league.Wasn't Conte not getting criticised for his recruitment in signing older players with no potential/sell on value like Kolarov and Vidal about to be confirmed?

Understand both sides.
He’s off to Atleti I’m sure, Morata to Juve is the deal now . As is Dzeko, once the Milik to Roma deal is sorted.What a CV Vidal has.
I don’t blame Barca for moving him on as certainly not what they need but could be a great signing for Inter.
Is there anymore on Suarez going to Juve?

Either that or hang about with Chiellini, think that might have been too awkwardSuarez under Simeone. Dangerous combo

Ah ok, like wanting to see someone else win in Germany or Spain. Fair enough.Actually not mate, I don’t hate them in all honesty. It’s more I just want them to lose for interest if you get me?.
Excellent, Valero away back to Fiorentina just means they need someone to take Gagliardini off their hands.Done.
With Hakimi, Vidal and Kolorav in (plus Sensi back from injury) Inter are set for the season, going to be a good one.

The strangest signing going, proper champ manager stuff. Signed a player who plays best behind a lone striker in a 4-2-3-1, to play him in a 3-5-2. Anyone with football knowledge could tell you it would never work, he shouldn’t be too hard to shift I’d imagine.That'll be quite an achievement, absolutely woeful footballer.
Would be pleased if they punted Eriksen as well, he's the worst fit possible for Conte who didn't even want him. Was never going to work.

Question is, would they still be buying a good player or merely a good ‘name’.
Totally agree on all points.Name only, he's been dreadful for 2 years.
A couple of little moments over the course of 90 minutes and like playing with a man down out of possession.
Conte apparently made it very clear he didn't want him signed, they done it anyway instead of Vidal. Genuinely think that was the difference in last year's title race.
Interesting turn of events that, honestly you would imagine they had someone checking those things.And Verona go top!
Roma have been penalised for irregularly fielding Amadou Diawara in the 0-0 draw with Verona, so Hellas receive a 3-0 victory.
The midfielder turned 23 in July, so was no longer eligible for the Under-22 list that he had been on last season.
However, Diawara was not registered on the senior player list, even after the Lega Serie A informed Roma of the error.
As a result, the precedents in this situation confirm Roma are penalised by defaulting the game, losing 3-0 to Verona.
It had ended 0-0 at the Stadio Bentegodi last Saturday, the opening round of the 2020-21 season.
Roma had argued it was not an error that influenced the game, because there were still four empty slots in the senior squad list that Diawara could’ve taken up if he’d been in the correct section.
Slightly cool but cringey as fck at the same time.
Sadly missed the games today, about to watch Inter for what should be a cracker.
3-1 Inter.
Both in decent form, let’s hope the Premier coverage is better than it was for the rangers last weekGood shout. Was debating whether to bother with the Premier League game. Inter v Fiotentina sounds a bit more tasty
Both in decent form, let’s hope the Premier coverage is better than it was for the Rangers last week
Aye, they ended last season strong would have been a better choice of wordsDecent form?
Isnt this the first game of the season for inter ?
