Thank God I support both Madrid clubs and Bayern too.

At least you have the consolation of supporting Juventus and Roma in Italy untill the Milanese clubs return , which is nice for the time being .

It does help numb the pain but it's just not the same ffs.

I feel for you Tom , how can both of your favourite teams do that to you . May i suggest bandwagoning a couple of teams from the Premier League too? In case Juventus and Roma , Bayern and both Madrid teams weren't enough . But what am i saying , nothing ever will fill that Milanese gap.

Football needs more fans like you Tom

It seems to be back to 70s years  . In 60s Inter and Milan  won Champions cup ( as in 2000s) but then their cycles ended and they played a subsequent average decade, ugliest decade for Milano clubs so far.

So I wait Torino and Lazio scudettos now

seems like an excuse , doesn't it? I know he was wronged , but his decision to sell just because of this ... doesn't seem legit , i don't know .

Yes I agree.
Besides he would be the first Italian president really so interested to Europa League
I  suppose he would have played with reserves in that case.

Yeah , ridiculous to see Milan and Inter like that , but let's be honest , neither Torino nor Lazio will ever win a Scudetto ever again lol . Maybe in Pes and FIFA

As for Ghirardi , yeah agreed , as if Parma would have invested themselves fully with the Europa League . They would probably get out in the group stages and that would be it . I call nonsense . Not sure what his real motives were , but this is too convinient for him .

As for that Albanian businessman , i've heard his name before , i think he wanted to buy stakes at Milan ? Something like that , i am pretty sure he was interested to get into Italian football long ago , though he never did. Not sure if that would be best for Parma though .

Parma is a historical club , maybe a better solution could be found , though i admit , i could not tell what .

Yes I was ironic about Torino and Lazio.
Anyway " the new Torino of Lazio"  can be the  Napoli and Roma, they have the potential to win the Scudetto . but I see still the Napoli distant for it . Although I revalued their market, for example Koulibaly looks like good tbf
I wait a league very similar to last for the first three places

Taci said to be interested to Milan in past (but he looked like a quack tbh) , and he wanted  to buy Bologna expecially. He  was also arrested some years ago...
Basically he doesn't seem a reliable person.

DEM names

poor Serie A

Crazy to think Napoli would have been tied up if Higuain didn't miss two potentially match-winning penalties and they didn't concede last second vs. Inter.


Fair play to king Rafa. Was under so much pressure after their CL exit and poor start, but now are the form team in the league.

Parma will receive penalty points because they haven't paid salaries
We have already a sure relegated
Shame Ghirardi

On the other hand Cassano is offering himself to Sampdoria ( well , he does it every year so it is not even a new thing ) but Sinisa let know that until he will be Sampdoria coach Cassano won't play for blucerchiati

-3 to Milano derby

 it is time to banish the ghost

looooooooooooooooooool RIP Parma

To think if things panned out differently they'd be slogging it out in the EL with a pretty good team to boot.

It's really sad what is happening to Parma . Whatever happens to them , i sincerely hope they manage to stay in Serie A . As for Cassano , who cares .

Apparently Castan has to undergo brain surgery.

Very unfortunate for Roma. It's amazing the troubles they've had with the availability of their central defenders this season, it's a good thing they have such admirable depth in the position.

I hope the surgery goes well and he recovers quickly.

Yanga-Mbiwa is out too, but Astori is fit again apparently.

We may still see DDR in defence at some point and at this rate.

I feel awful about Leo....he's our leader back there and this stuff has be eating him up.

I think what this means though is that we'll just have to get a CB in January. Too bad Rudi mismanaged Tin Jedvaj and Alessio Romagnoli. We could really use one or both of them right now.

Parma seriously risks to go bankrupt as Rangers Glasgow did.
They need of 30 mln so as to conclude the season , but Ghiardi doesn't seem intent to give . Besides the club has a defict about 60 mln and so it 's difficult his buying by new president.
If noone invents and noone deposites money for Parma ( as Ghirardi doesn't want to do ) , the
bankruptcy is unavoidable (according Gazzetta dello Sport)

Roma team to face Atalanta: (4-3-3) De Sanctis; Torosidis, Manolas, Astori, Cole; Pjanic, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Ljajic, Destro, Iturbe

despite the injuries Roma should have dominated more against Atalanta, if the ref wasn't so shitty at times maybe it would have been a different game. That squad or that first eleven should have dominated more It was an even game

Perin has apparently been charged with drink driving, hugely disappointing. It's unacceptable at all times but additionally it's immensely unprofessional given that this was 48 hours prior to a game.

Torino have missed their last 5 penalties in a row

Milan: Diego Lopez; Rami, Zapata, Mexes, De Sciglio; Essien, Muntari; Bonaventura, Menez, El Shaarawy; Torres

Milan bench: Agazzi, Abbiati, Saponara, Honda, Pazzini, Albertazzi, Poli, Montolivo, Niang, Van Ginkel, Armero, Zaccardo

Inter: Handanovic; Nagatomo, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Dodò; Guarin, Kuzmanovic, Obi; Kovacic; Icardi, Palacio

Inter bench: Carrizo, Berni, Andreolli, Osvaldo, Campagnaro, Vidic, D'Ambrosio, Krhin, Donkor, Hernanes, M'Vila, Bonazzoli

Inter's bench looks better than the starting XI

Obi and Kuzmanovic starting

Mancini will probably bring on Krhin in the 2nd half

Our team though

Mexes captain

Congrats on the win Robes

Tbf they sold their two penalty takers but that is such a fail lol.

Btw this Pipita fellow having the worst season of his career and is the 3rd highest scorer of the league

Higuain's turn around in form does not excuse his major scrubbing in the Bilbao matches. He flopped when it mattered most, and that is hardly excused by his current performances.

Higuain has always flopped in big moments. That's really not a surprise.

San Siro forgive us for this night
