I can't wait when napoli will be out of cl for a few years. I think it will be over for them as to this "second best club in Italy". They are such a low level club. If Italian league didn't suck for so many years they would be nowhere near cl.

To me Inter, milan and jube are must for cl. Then the 4th can be a lottery every year. It's just a waste of space to give it to napolo. They will never make Italian league be respected in europe again. They can be 2nd for next 10 years, and it will take milan 1 season to get into the cl and they will easily overtake napoli in so many things.

I think napoli got really, really lucky. Kudos to them for taking advantage of it. They got Hamsik for scraps, something you can do once every 30 years maybe. They also got lucky when real was selling for cheap and when higuain was forced out to napoli. He was too good of a player for them, but that helped them rise that 1 level. But thay kind of luck will not be there forever and once cl money is gone it will be hard for them to reach their serie a status again.

napoli will never reach the heights that Inter, jube or milan can in terms of popularity, fanbase etc. Jeeez, i just cant stand them for past few years and cant wait once this golden period is over for them. It looks more and more they fallen to number 3 in the league at best. Plus ancelotti is no league coach, he is turnament coach.

Let's not be a prisoner of the moment. They got KK, fabian ruiz, zielinski, insigne, mertens etc etc. Their scouts are doing great work and they are still on relatively low wages. Hard to see them ever winning a league though, but the way that club is run I can only respect it. They are still the second best team in Italy one poor game doesn't change that

Lots of things to dislike about Napoli (ADL, their stadium, ...), but I think it's really harsh to put it down to luck. Higuain was there before Napoli started challenging for the league, and Napoli improved after he left. They've got a lot of good players over the years for not that much money, and when it keeps happening it seems less and less a coincidence.

That was not a red card for Sampdoria, so Fiorentina got lucky.

Those three victories coincide with Nainggolan being injured, which is interesting. I still think their midfield will be better with a fit Radja than without.

I said at the start of the season Cagliari would do well, especially after their mercato. They have a pretty solid team with the additions they made like Nandez, Simeone, Nainggolan, Rog, etc. Even in goal they've got Olsen to cover for Cragno whose recovering from injury.

Yeah, I remember a post I made about how I expected Brescia to finish above Cagliari at some point... That was because of the Balo/Donnaruma/Tonali trio and before I saw the mercato they did, they will easily battle it out for EL places. Who knows, maybe even a 4th...

For other teams, “luck” is coincidence. For Milan it is one strength, seriously. Vs us they should have lost 0-5 and luck saved them to 2. Vs Torino they lead with the softest pen possible and an almost goal from...heel cross from a Torino defender. Incredible.

The ref is worse than his colleague yesterday.

Have to say that Toro is very weak tonight and this year in general (compared to last season), apart from their away win at Atalanta. If they continue like this Milan will get an easy win.
