10 years of FIFI'll expect more from Atalanta and Crotone who actually have something to play for. Fuck Torino, and fuck us especially for being too shit to beat them. Fuck's sake. This is the worst footballing weekend I've ever experienced. I'm too young to remember the real Calciopoli atrocities.

Our main problem is that our team is either full of losers/or people who haven't won anything. We don't need talents. We need people who have consistently made it in the CL again and again, and are not going to choke when we're they're close to the goal. The only player that fits that profile is Miranda, and he's on his last legs.

This is at it stands:
Roma- 70
Lazio - 70
Inter - 66
By winning all our matches, we will have 75 points at the end of the season. If Roma and Lazio win theirs, they have 79 points. The only way we can get to the CL if we win our final three matches is Roma losing to Juventus and at least drawing to Cagliari and Sassuolo away which leaves them with a final tally of 74 points (Lazio will win all their matches no doubt). Suppose they reach the CL final, EDS will rest his key players leaving them open to a probable surprise.
It is still possible but remember, we have to win ALL our final matches. Don't fuck this up like you did last night, Spalletti!

Bummer, now seeking a Miracle.
For lazio's case, they need to draw/lose against atalanta and we have to win all 3 to go through UCL.
For Roma's case, they need to drop points against Juve ( probably ) + either Cagliari or Sassuolo and us winning all 3 to go through.
Seems like a mountain to climb, yet its not over so.

I really disagree. Our biggest chance is against Lazio simply because we actually have a head-to-head with them. If we win all the games like you said, there is no way Lazio can get to 79, since it means they would lose to us.
Also, Roma is not getting to the CL final. Sassuolo against Roma is last game of the season and Sassuolo will have nothing to play for plus they have a good relationship with Di Francesco and Roma in general. Juventus doesn't even need to beat Roma and will probably just play for the draw. Keep in mind, Juve will also have the Coppa Italia before the Roma game too.
As I see it, our only hope is Atalanta taking something from Lazio, simply because Atalanta are actually a good team, play without pressure, and have something to play for. Potentially, Crotone will have something to play for as well. However, if Crotone beat Chievo next week, they may potentially survive the drop with 2 games to spare. They do have Zenga who would probably do his best to motivate the team though.
Knowing Inter though, all of this talk is pointless as Udinese is exactly the type of team we would screw up against.

Actually, if they get a point they will be fighting relegation. A point would mean they are 3 points ahead of the drop with Lazio and Napoli to play. Chievo meanwhile have Bologna and Benevento to play.

Lazio will win all their final matches, SMS and Immobile will carry them over the line. Roma are level and more likely to drop points than Lazio. Juve still to finish the job over Napoli so a win against Roma is critical plus their reserves is more than capable of at least not losing. Cagliari and Sassuolo if they are up for it can get a point off Roma.
Our head to head is better with 4 points to Roma's 2. We can't expect Roma to not win their final matches but we can hope results will go in our way so we don't have the pressure of winning at Lazio at all cost.
If you think Lazio will win all their matches, I'm not sure why you would think that Roma wouldn't bar Juve?
I don't see Roma being more likely to drop points except maybe against Juve. Juve beating Roma isn't critical though. They just need to beat Bologna and Verona at home. Even losing to Roma is ok for them, since they would still win it. Also, I don't see how Sassuolo is more likely to grab a point off Roma than Atalanta/Crotone off Lazio? Sassuolo has nothing to play for in the last round. Just like Torino had nothing to play for now, I don't see them putting up any fight.
I can see Cagliari putting up fight, but they're also quite terrible lately.
Also, Immobile is most likely out for the season according to reports.
