Apparently we re 1st in the league and almost through to the quarters in CL while not even playing OK football....
People really need a reality check at times.....
Just look at what Ancelotti said this weekend. Teams can't focus on all these matches. The modern football schedule is becoming too much.

And we could easily end up 3rd and out at the R16... It took a last minute winner against the bottom team in the league.

We just need to appreciate we need to go up a gear or two if we wanna get some trophies this year.

And, and, and. Why worry about that beforehand? We (or at least me) laugh at Juve when shit hits the fan for them. If shit hits the fan for us, we can worry about that then and they can laugh at us.

And which match are you referring to as last minute winner? I don't remember last minute winners from this season.

Monza just recently?

Actually sorry I thought the goal was later than 77. Didn't watch it, it was 4am!

The Lloyd Kelly situation is a really odd one. Newcastle picked him up on a free in the summer, he was not getting a game for them so Juventus sign him on loan as they are down two central defenders and just need warm bodies. That all makes sense until you add in an obligation to sign him for 20 million euros this coming summer and then it all makes no sense whatsoever. What a horrible deal that is for Juventus.

Funniest thing is Bournemouth bought huijsen from rubentus to replace Kelly and now he's doing a madness and will probably be sold for 80m. Howler from guintoli all around

Thats my whole fing point...It s a long season up and downs are normal for any team especially if your competing in 3(4) competitions and teams with better more balanced squads are struggling to...

To say we are only okay when we are first after 28 games in the league and that we are almost certain of making it into the top 8 of Europe would suggest we have been playing a lot better than just OK..... Unless you wanna say everybody behind us in serie A had a shit year if we are baerly okay....

Yes we ve been frustrating at times and we have not looked as good as expected but again the shedule is insane and we are doing rather good taking that into consideration....
Hence the people need a reality check some are acting as if scudetto is gone and we went out in the CL groups... When in reality it just does not look as pretty or as easy as we all hoped it would be.

Just scroll his posts and it wont be hard to realise that his mission is to downgrade everything great that Limone did for this club and glorify every slip he had. I dont know why are you keep bothering... If we win CL it would be doe to luck according to mr.h. Just let him be. Ignore is the best option.

Guys Napoli is a solid team and had 0 EUROPEAN games this season, they don't need a super bench as we do, but we don't even have a super bench, so if we end up winning this scudetto against Napoli we have all the right to celebrate it like it was against a stronger Juve or Milan than what they are right now.

yes we should really appreciate the journey as well. on the business end of the season it gets way more exciting if we're fighting for something. like for example, i was way more excited for the champions league final run than the conte scudetto. yes it ended disappointingly but even getting to that point should be appreciated. if someone said at the start of the season, you'll be in the final of the coppa, final of the champs and going to the final day in serie a with 1 point lead with no guarantees of victory in either game, i'll sign that shit with blood

In many ways, it's more exciting when it's an actual race with multiple challengers rather than a runaway like our last two Scudetti, the only problem is that you might get 2010 and Pazzini's doble to the rescue, or you might get 2022 where I suspect we could win the next five Scudetti and still have topics of discussion here of "how the fuck did we not win the Scudetto that year?".

It's nerve-wracking for sure. If there was ever a test of the resolve that this team - and especially the core players who remain from 2021 - should have developed from the last two seasons, winning the Scudetto one year and reaching a CL Final the other year, it's right now when you have two teams on your heels for the Scudetto who look like they'll be there all the way through to the end. And through it all, right now, we still have a one point lead over them, so it's entirely in our hands right now.

oh absolutely the excitement is obviously when its a lot closer. for the league personally i like the boring running away just for less stress lol but its way more satisfying winning a closely contested scudetto. even on the game by game basis, close games are more fun. like i celebrated the winner vs monza way more that the spankings of atalanta and lazio

It is not becoming too much. It already is too much. That is why we are seeing such varying levels of performance on the pitch and it also explains all of the injuries.

Only now im seeing that Bologna is close to top 4. And people act like they are our new Sassuolo. Yeah they are not Atalanta or Napoli, but also not Sassuolo.

btw i like them. Yeah they fcked our scudetto 2y ago and we also lose points against them, but they are always doing good even if the squad is not on the same level as other teams. Even now after Motta and Zirzkse were gone. I think they are the only team i respect right now.
