An indication you'll probably be relegated: conceding 2 goals to Empoli at home

Sturaro's impressive midweek performance has earned him another start today :shepicide:

4-0 now.

So there's been this recent " controversy" about something Buffon said with regards to teams rolling over for Juve. He said that teams definitely come to Olay against Juve and don't play weakened sides to rest for games they might win later or to save players because they know they will lose anyway. Genoa's manager said that he pretty much did exactly that earlier, and now there's this idea that Juve is by default being handed the league. I think it's all crap, but supposedly Chievo are starting a weird 11 and formation today.

Even if teams are doing this, you can't blame them. Spaletti was adamant that nobody does this for Roma, which made me laugh, of course nobody because Roma isn't nearly as good.

In undisputedly cool and good Buffon news, today is his 600th Serie A appearance. He's on track to break Maldini's record if he stays healthy through the end of next season.

I think it's pretty likely we see Moise Kean make an appearance today, which could be good.

Also, hell, Sorrentino looks old.

That article was some of the worst journalism I've ever seen, and this is coming from a Viola fan that certainly will not defend Juventus or its players. The article used quotation marks to report Buffon words, except then framing it in the middle as "these are more or less Buffon's words". I.e. they cited him except they didn't.

It was insanely bad, but social media has picked up on it incredibly quickly; every other post is "gne gne ancora 'na squadra si scansa contro la Rubbbentus"

Higuain needs to be the one in the middle here, though if Mandzukic keeps pissing away these chances I won't complain.

that was a clear grab and pull on Higuain's jersey, but I guess I can't complain about the no-call considering how many times Chiellini has gotten away with that over the years
