Well this is the first time in nearly a decade that Juve and Roma have faced off as the top 2 in the table. This fixture has a lot of history behind it, most it controversial unfortunately.

If anything, you'd be correct if you were talking about any other edition of this fixture prior to this season and after the '02 season.

The winner of this match will set the pace for the 2nd half of the season. It would take a sizable implosion from either or both sides for that to be otherwise.

In all seriousness though, Milan fans are under no illusions about Honda, he's no saviour - we are just happy to see a good player join the team. Proud

"Lazio announce that they have terminated the employment contract of Vladimir Petkovic, Antonio Mancione and Paolo Rongoni,"

"The club announce that they have installed coach Edoardo Reja, who will be assisted by Alberto Bollini and Adriano Bianchini."

It does not end here Laughing

Vladimir Petkovic is set to take legal action against Lazio over his sacking on Saturday, according to his lawyer.

The Bosnian announced in December that he would leave the capital club upon the expiry of his contract to take charge of Switzerland's national team.

However, Lazio argued the 50-year-old's negotiations with the Swiss football federation violated his contract and, after much speculation, he was replaced at the Biancocelesti helm by Edy Reja this weekend.

Petkovic's legal representative, Paco D'Onofrio, believes the club's reasoning was "unjust" and plans to take the case to the courts.

"We received notice of the sacking for just cause," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We’ll challenge the decision in the relevant legal arenas, because we consider it profoundly unjust.

"The statement released by Lazio is unique, as it doesn’t actually indicate the rule he is supposed to have broken during negotiations with the Swiss football federation.

"President of the Italian Football Coach Association, Renzo Ulivieri, also stated this week that Petkovic did not violate any regulation.

"No rule forbids a coach from reaching an agreement with others when his contract is due to expire. Besides, Petkovic signed for a national team and not a club rival of Lazio."

They're gonna kill me here rofl

Petkovic was a good coach though. Always liked him myself. One of the few Lazio coaches I can say that about.

Oh and here's LOL.com with their annual (it's rather early for it) hit piece on Roma.

People have been reading far too deeply into Totti's comments.
