I and many others here on FIF hold nothing against a team who is simply stronger. I remember even most of us claimed juBe won fair and square when they beat Inter 1-2.
Brehme has put it nicely. The systematic favouritism towards juBe, from refs, transfers dealings with other Italian clubs is sickening.

The disparity between the big clubs and the rest has never been so big as of today. juBe will do whatever it takes to maintain their position of power. It's going to take alot for a team to dethrone them.

First penalty was ridiculous. De Light had some similar handballs earlier throughout season but none of them been rewarded as penalty.

The first one seemed like a penalty to me, at least by the way handball rules are today. The second penalty to me was similar to the Ashley Young situation vs. Cagliari and should have been looked at similarly.

Problem is the lack of consistency in decisions, especially those studs up fouls. The Barella challenge in the Lecce game could have easily been given as a red in another game.

Nedved on Commiso's comments:

“We are frankly fed up of this sort of thing. It’s time for people to stop relying on alibis when they play against Juve. We win games because we play well.”

Yeah, alibi's.. Just like when people made up alibi's leading up to Calciopoli? :lol: It must be a coincidence how these things keep happening time and time again throughout the years eh?

Nedved is not saying anything different than what Wera said earlier. Or what others usually say when we say about how Juventus stole the vast majority of their trophies in recent years.

I hope Verona can pull it off and beat the scum next week at home. Don't think they can trouble Lazio away on Wednesday though.

tbh. i think it's more probable a draw against Lazio then a draw/win against Juve. Lazio made 5 goals against spal today, but they will not score that much against Verona who has a good defence.

What i don't understand: Ambrabat got a red card today, will he miss that game or does this game not count for the actual suspensions? Normally it's not the next game in the Serie A calendar.

It's logical that he would miss Lazio, but play against rube. But I'm not sure.

Nedved should do a better job of what Pessotto tried but failed to do.

One thing Rube did to legitimately improve their club was to build their own arena. And it's a difference maker, way more significant than a penalty here and there.

Calcipoli gave us adventage and we did jack shit with it tbh. Even our post-Calcipoli domination was meh imo

Since agnelli is so strong in italy, I expecting Inter should play in long game to dethrone them (this season look impossible to beat Juve)
Focus on european glory (great run in UCL or win UEL) and from money from there make strong squad that in term of quality so even if referee "helping" juve, Inter have more capital to rise on occasion to win scudetto

It was the same 15 years ago as it is now - the council refuses to give us permission to build a new stadium, nor do they let us demolish San Siro.

Meanwhile, when juve want to build a stadium, the council gives them permission to do so and the local politicians put on a helmet and overalls and started mixing cement to help them out.

Yes, there is that. And I was a bit harsh. Moratti could not have single-handedly beat corruption in Serie A, win the treble AAAAND build us a stadium with all the pushback you mentioned. The first 2 are enough.

I do think Inter should focus on what they can change. There are legitimate things we can learn from Rube. I guess that's why Zang hired Marotta.

It s a lot easier to strong arm local politicians when your owners are also the main employer in the region.

This. It's all about political power. Agnelli has TONS of it.

Zhang has zero of it. Neither do Milan's current owners. There's your difference.

Ridiculously overruled goal of Sampdoria. In the build up play in the middle of the pitch deflected ball with zero intention. Hand was close to body.
