I just checked, and empoli is WTF.. in the past 10 games, they've beaten napoli, torino, fiorentina, sampdoria, drew atalanta, but lost against the likes of SPAL, Bologna and Udinese..

Hopefully they will beat the shit out of inter too, they seem to have a good run against better teams :-D

Fucking knew this useless shits would draw.

Well Atalanta do deserve it more, so fair fucks to them.

Year zero my old friend, I'll see you in August.

Year Three starts in august. Building a team takes time, chances of success in the first or second year were always small.

Atalanta played a good game today, but whoever gets it deserves it.

I think Inter can draw but if we miss this year it really is a shame because we wouldve thrown it away.

The draws we had against Empoli, Frosinone, and Bologna in the first half of the season loom large going into the last week.

Just one more goal against any of these teams and we're in the drivers seat.

maybe jube tried. honestly their last 7 games vs atalanta have been 3 wins 3 draws and 1 loss. atalanta is a very good side. On their day they can beat any team. We definitely choked though. Let's hope a miracle happens on the last day.

tbh saying "juve didnt try" just demeans atalantas achievements. Its poor taste and its being a sore loser.

Did lazio and napoli and inter also not try ?

Atalanta deserve it, we dont, unless they fail to beat sassuolo

True, but we are doing it the wrong way. We keep buying players, and changing coaches, when it should have been the other way around.

I'm saying this summer is year zero, because we will finally get a good coach that may actually have the backing of the club for more than a year. I mean if they gave Gattuso so much time, they might give the new guy at least 2 seasons as well.

I just hope we don't sell what few good players we have. It all depends on how much Elliot want to invest, because we are not Man United and we can't afford to loose on CL season after season like they do.

It will be an interesting summer, to say the least.

Don't get your hopes up :lol::lol: i believe it when i see it.

but totally agree, we should go in for a coach who we believe in and are willing to give time to build something.

Sassuolo, Spal and Empoli can be tricky games. So let’s see what happens.

I hope we can make the CL.

On a different note the fight for relegation is exciting,

Genoa MUST win. Udinese is almost saved. If Genoa beats Fiorentina, then Fiorentina is relegated. Empoli needs a win too.

Milan in CL and Merda misses out
Our buddies Genoa save themselves and send fiorentina to B

perfect scenario if you ask me

I really can't see Empoli beating Inter either, :cry: even with their own relegation on the line.



If both clubs play the way they’ve done in the last month, Empoli will comfortably beat Inter.

Napoli could have scored 5 or 6 against Atalanta.
It is just that they are in good form and had a lot of luck vs Napoli.
They draw vs Inter.

Well done Sinisa in completing the job. Could well be the next Lazio coach if Simone Inzaghi moves.

Simone Inzaghi is not going anywhere.
He could move only to Juventus, but it seems like Sarri is their n.1 choice.
That is why Sarri showed middle finger to our representatives in London last week.

Vincenzo Montella's last victory as a manager was at Old Trafford against Manchester United on March 13, 2018

Bravo Atalanta. Absolutely well deserved. I hope they have a great CL campaign.

I am definitely seeing the bright side of Atalanta in CL.

Italy start in 4th spot in coeff rankings next season (?). Atalanta being drawn from pot 4 and getting recycled will help entrench that position.

Absolutely buzzing for Atalanta. I mean, it's very sad for Milan and all that, but Atalanta have probably played the best football I've ever seen in Serie A. It would have been a travesty if they missed out on the Champions League. Gasperini is Guardiola reincarnated. Papu Gomez is his Messi.

Can't wait for Atalanta to beat Barcelona away next season :love:

It kind of feels good knowing that Empoli tried their best and that they had their own relegation to play for and having failed us they are relegated as well.

I have a feeling that Atalanta will get eliminated with maximum one or two points in the group stage.
