Serie A Sunday.











All the matches were played at the same time on the same day due to the freakish weather, which cause some managers to take issue, Edy Reja most notably had the most to complain as his team lost 3-2 to Genoa. Inter resurgence was short lived as they lost 4-0 to Roma. But the most to gain would have been Juventus and Milan, that is if they were able to score! Milan V Napoli was the tastier of the two fixture, as both teams are rather good in attack, Napoli with the three tenors of Edison Cavani, Lavezzi and Marek Hamisik and Milan with the big Ibrahimovich and Robinho. Yet Milan still couldn't break the Napoli defence and when they did.. let's just say they weren't clinical enough upfront. Milan had 16 shots with only 5 on goal and the big Swede was getting noticeably frustrated with the poor service, saying that Napoli only had 1 shot on goal, so I think the lesson here is; with Thiago Silva, you'll have a hell of a defence!







The game ended with 7 yellow cards and a inevitable sending off. Zlatan let a moment of stupidity get the best of him. in the 64th minute he was sent of after slapping Aronica, he tried to disguise it by using Nocherino as a middle man but he didn't fool the lineman and that was the end of his game and the 3 after this, which means he will miss the clash with Juventus.







Juve remain unbeaten but they didn't beat Siena, that was a game that if they won would have meant some breathing space from the chasing pack. The league table is therefore almost unchanged, with Juve on top separated by one point but with a game in hand. Hopefully we'll have better luck against Parma but Conte has try and figure out- why couldn't they beat Siena?
