Grew up on that show. Wish BT would bring it back for good. Because of that show I probably saw more Inter then Spurs.

Boom, what an emphatic goal by . Just finished watching the game now.
Why did all the players have the red stripe on their cheeks?

Fair play to Napoli, they deserved that. Usual Allegri playing "pragmatically" by sitting back and taking no risks. So disappointed to see Juve play for the draw at home. I really can't wait for him to leave, his bad picks and negative play always costs us in the big games. Leaving out Mandzukic, Lichsteiner and Cuadrado for the big games is always stupid, and I don't know why he keeps doing it. Even starting Howedes at right back when he's a very good centre back and is up against some pacey wide men, whilst having the energiser bunny that is Lichsteiner on the bench, is pretty tactically retarded. Urging the team to constantly pass backwards is a recipe for disaster, especially when it invites pressure and plays into Napoli's strengths. The team has carried him far enough for the past few years and it's time to let him tinker elsewhere (preferably Arsenal).
I wouldn't be sad to see Napoli win the title. They've worked bloody hard, play good football, and have been nearly men for the past 5 years. A fair few similarities between them and Spurs. They deserve a title win, moreso than the detestable, Mourinho-led Inter ever did. Besides, it would give the Juve board a wake up call. Genuinely believe our domestic dominance and complacency is the factor behind our lack of European success. With Buffon retiring, and Chiellini and Barzagli past their prime, I feel a rebuild at the back is needed. It has to be someone other than Allegri.

Awareness of domestic violence in Italy. It seems like every week there's a report of a guy killing his wife/girlfriend. It's become endemic in Italy and is a real problem at the moment.

Question in mixed zone after the game to Insigne: "They said they would play it like a Champions League final and they lost...".
Answer: "They are used to it".
ooh, burn.
Huge result for the league. Just 1pt gap now.
Also the first time Juventus haven't had a shot on target at home since 2011/12. Only Juve's 5th home loss in the league in that period.

2 goals in 2 minutes. Unreal. That's probably the title won right there.

Takes some balls after nearly throwing it away after being 1-0 up against 10 men.
Still got some huge games to come this title race is far from over

Juve got very lucky. They should have gone down to ten men too, how Pjanic escaped a second yellow is anyone’s guess.
And they were fucking awful, inter outplayed them for a big chunk of that second half and at times looked like they had the extra man and nearly made it 3-1.
There's clever tactical pragmatism and then there's riding your luck, and this Juve side have been riding their luck for a while now.

They rode their luck against us to be fair. Not that I think our second half performance at Wembley was great, but I didn't find them to be greatly impressive over the two legs at all.

Hmm, Juve getting a lucky refereeing decision you say? No, I can't believe that could happen, there's simply no precedent...

Now, now - let's not forget Jan scything down Douglas Costa at Wembley and miraculously getting away with it.
