    How I would love something like this to be brought back to terrestrial telly. Unfortunately football shows don't get commissioned anymore unless they primarily cover the Premier League.

    Inter doing well this game. Much better than in recent matches. Maicon especially having a good game.

    1-0 Juve. Caceres - scored a few important goals for them over the last few weeks.

    That podcast is by far the best around.

    Juve have assembled a pretty handy team. Pepe, Marchisio, Caceres, Pirlo, Vucinic, Vidal, Matri added to the quality they already had.

    I am old enough to remember watching Conte play for Juve so it would be nice to see them win the title with him in charge.

    Kriz will probably need closely monitored should that happen though.

    To be fair, viewing figures were on the slide. Glad ESPN has picked up Serie A coverage over the last few years - previously there were half-hearted attempts by Bravo and Channel 5 to maintain coverage. Scrapped by both of those channels for the same reasons really.

    That said, channel 5's coverage at the time gave many of us an introduction to Laura Esposto

    Great skill from Del Piero in the box. Vintage.

    They need to sort out their strikers, but other than that they have the makings of a decent squad. They were cruising to the title about a month ago, but draws have cost them dearly. For me, it's AC Milan's to lose now, but stranger things have happened. AC are having rotten luck with injuries this season mind you - Silva (out for 3 weeks) being the most recent. Massive loss for them.

    Silva is a big loss. They can't keep relying on Ibra to win them games on his own.

    Del Piero showing the youngsters how it's done.

    2-0 Juve. Great pass from Vidal.

    Maicon save of the year.

    Fantastic. Good thing he got his angles right. A yard to the left and he would have pulled a "Phil Babb".

    They didn't win it as punishment for not taking Chiesa
