No, I won't. Hellas Verona needs to be relegated ASAP plus I'd prefer Juventus winning Scudetto to Inter.

Ramsey 1-1 by the way.

Ladri winning another Scudetto is humiliating for Calshio, I'd prefer Merda this season. Thankfully, Carlo's Napoli is another contender.

Sarri is going bonkers in the touchline. Verona definitely the better team of the half.

As if the last 7 seasons haven't been humiliating enough. I don't see any problem with another season. Some day will Juventus' hegemony end, but i want to see Milan or Napoli end it. Not Inter with Antonio Conte at the helm.

Ancelotti in Serie A :lol: I only have faith in Carlo in UCL

Do people on here hate Juventus more than Inter?

Inter will always be our little brothers down the road who keep having crazy dreams and sometimes win trophies. Juve are a proper rival.

I still think this season will end as I predicted during pre season. Inter scudetto, Napoli 2nd, Juve 3rd.

I'm at a point where I honestly don't care how Juventus do against minnows in Serie A. Today is an exception as what H.Verona did last week. Therefore, the quicker they're back in Serie B, the better.

When Juventus play against Inter, I obviously want Juventus to win, as CURRENT Milan aren't a threat to Juventus in Serie A. If we change as a team, become a threat to Juventus, my opinion will obviously change.

((For the record, yes, I'd like to see Milan win versus Juventus))

The only point where i care about Juventus actual losing or sad because they won is in the UCL. I'd be very fine with Juventus winning successive Scudetto's for the next 10 year, as long as they crash out in 10 successive UCL campaigns. Don't blame me for this, blame the other top teams in Serie A.

However, I'm not fine with Milan not competing for the Scudetto. My way of thinking or opinion won't be changing until we're competing for it.

Verona are playing really well here.

Could easily get an equalizer.

Juve look poor at the back

Once again, 41 yr old Gigi Buffon saves Juve.

Verona definitely won't be pushovers this season. Another strong relegation battle coming up I think. Can think of 7-8 contenders already (including Samp).

Samp has looked awful so far, doesn’t seem like they reinforced their squad properly after letting go some of their key players

Josip Ilicic on his day :star:

No player in the world is better than him when he's on his day.

Conti would fit in perfectly in inter Milan.
Conte would make him a beast since he plays with wingbacks.

The one from 2 years ago or Conti right now?

If you're talking about current Conti then absolutely no. Too weak physically and mentally to play under someone demanding like Conte.

If you're talking about the one from 2 years ago, well then, yes, I agree with you.

Injuries completly killed him and I don't think he'll ever recoup his top level form again. He may find his touch again at Genoa or Udinese. I'll be rooting for him then.

Brescia looking dangerous in general.

Corini a man of his word thus far.
