"Milan Derby"

First Milan derby of the season. Should be good.

Who do you think will win?
If I'd asked myself this before last night, I'd have said AC without much though.
But now I'm not so sure.

Mentally injured. Italian version of Craig Bellamy is that nutter.

Panucci's suspended and Cassano is injured for the match, also.

As For Thursday's game even with my Roma bias i cant see anything other than Juve win.

The only thing we will have going for us is the resentment of Capello's former players. Although with the way things are going i wouldnt be surprised if most of the players hate the Roma management! Panucci and Cassano at least anyway.

Nedved's is more girly with his blondeness. :P

And pull his girly long hair.

Heh, I wonder how many free kicks he actually hit today. I watched the match for about 20 mintues, and he hit three seperate free kicks. And that wasn't one of them.

He's great, Totti. Hopefully Cannavaro and Thuram stand on his stupid face on Thursday, though. :-)

OMG, did anyone see Roma Palermo today?

Ended 1-1 but Totti hit a superb free kick that hit both posts and then fell kindly into the keepers hands!

For Inter, it is amazing (possible over statement, depending on angle you take) and secondly I believe this is the year their players draw together and actually do something. Adriano will score 2, Zanetti 1 and Shev 1

EDIT: Perhaps Vieri will bag one instead of an Adriano brace.

Totti cant leave. There would be mass riots throughout Rome and my bedroom. Roma shouldnt have to sell him for financial reasons anyway, as the new TV contract is amazingly huge.

Cassano and co just need a firm hand from the management. Although i'm not sure if making Cassano train alone is the answer...time will tell i guess.

Next four or five weeks there are great games on, Milan derby tomorrow, Juve - Roma next week, Inter - Lazio the week after, then Milan take on Roma the week after that.

And in their last game this year, Milan and Juve meet.

I worry for Roma if Totti goes, which I think will happen. To carry a team for so long can't be fun, and with Real Madrid looking like they've picked up their old fluency, if Morientes does leave for Liverpool then Totti could be heading to Spain this summer.

Good news for every Italian team if that happens. Even Roma's youngsters might lose that brash cockiness and immaturity that probably stemmed from having Totti as captain, and allow a manager to help them progress professionaly.
