There is no possible way to sugar coat it, so why bother. We didn’t win on Sunday. Again. Basically, we can either throw up our hands and give up or fight fight FIGHT until the bitter end. If you chose the first option, I think Inter is not the team for you. Try Milan or Roma. If, like me, you chose the latter option, welcome to our little slice of the Curva Nord. There will be heartbreak but there will also be glory. Geesh, now I’ve gotten all teary-eyed.

For all the Inter fans out there, although we have these little, ehem… setbacks, remember: we have always been ahead and will remain so. I am keeping a positive attitude and fully believe we will win on Sunday.

The only really disheartening thing is that it seams like even if we manage to win we loose. Apparently the changes in the Parma coaching staff and fact that Catanian officials don’t want Roma’s stabby stabby fans down there is all a vast Moratti-fueled plot.

Yikes.

Shall we pick at the scab?

After 36 league, 8 Champions League, and 6 Coppa Italia games, almost half of our original starting team is injured (Dacourt, Samuel, Cordoba, Ibrahimovic, Figo, Chivu) but we are still on track for our 16th scudetto. We may be more limping forward than the sprint that characterized last year’s race, but it is the limp of the triumphant soldier, gallantly leaving the field of battle after bravely winning a hard-fought war.

Ok, so maybe not. None the less, we are still in it and can take the scudetto tomorrow if we keep our wits about us.

Lazio is in a bit of a spiral after having lost to Catania (1-0), Juve (5-2 Yikes), and Palermo (a more respectable 2-1). They have slipped to 13th place, and are only 6 points above the relegation zone. In league play Lazio have scored a healthy 43 goals but have allowed 50!

This compares quite favorably to our 65 scored with only 24 allowed (grazie JC!). By all statistics, we should be able to put this away. Unfortunately the calcio gods are not always familiar with these statistics. Inter and Lazio were in much the same position on the first leg of this match but we failed to beat Lazio’s 43 year old keeper. It just goes to show, no matter how poorly a team may be playing, when they come against Inter, they pull out all the stops.

There is not much news out of the Inter camp today and too many margaritas make for bad blogging.

The Italian press is skewering our performance on Sunday - and rightfully so. The Corriere dello Sport did not like our game at all.

The highest rating was for Julio Cesar (6.5) and Viera and Rivas bring up the back (both 4.5). They also called Rosetti on that missed penalty. He got 5.5.

So, in the words of Il Capitano:

“We won’t lose heart now. We’re looking ahead and we will make our best preparations for the Tim Cup semi-final against Lazio and the game against Siena. We have the chance to play the decisive match of the season in front of our fans.”

Shall we move on?

Second, I know this is very, VERY late, but I had a busy day and just now checked my email to find that I was okayed for the list.

So let’s get down to it.

Sorry I didn’t post anything yesterday, had some stuff I had to take care of. However, it may be a reoccurring theme for the next week or so. Think of Inter Info as being “suspended” for the rest of the week. It’ll be back, don’t worry.

I’ll continue to post, just not ALL the news. Usually just a video, like today. Don’t blame me, blame real life.

Ciao.

—-> It was supposed to be Jose, maybe even Benitez. Not Steve McClaren. The former England boss and Middlesbrough manager was in town a to film a cereral commerical. (On a side note, cereral is the most boring breakfast a person could have. There’s tons of other possibility’s, and I command you to never each this humdrum shit. EVER.) But, it seems he was doing more than just filming. “It’s true that I discussed the role with some of their people.” Jose is still my first choice, but Steve has pushed into second after these reports. I know he has had some hard times with England, especially the 07-08 campaign, but he is still very tactially savy (I might of just made up a word.). Not better than Jose, but very good.

Oh, and by the way. April Fools. Sorry, goal.com got me, so I had to do this to feel better about myself.

—-> Will Fatty return? “There is no chance that he will stay. It was agreed that Adriano would play for six months and that will be respected.” The last game has basically summed up our strikers issues of late. Ibra did a whole lot of nothing, Suazo rotted away on the bench, and Crespo gave us a good effort. First off, if Ibra is hurt, he must not play. Not only is he hurting himself, he’s hurting the team as well. As for Suazo, I’m not sure what to think. He hasn’t been given enough time. Sure, his speed is terrific, but can he fit into a 2 forward system? At this point, I would welcome Fatty back. Not with open arms, but I would give him one more shot. What’s the worst that can happen? Besides getting into a huge “ego” fight with Ibra and the Matrix, effectively tearing apart our team. The risk isn’t too bad.

—-> Manico is up for sale. This is a great idea, not sure why I didn’t think of it first. Let’s start the bidding at a bag of Cheetos and a Reeses. A high price, I know. But you must understand, the market is very demanding now a days.

—-> My main man is heading to coaching suicide. Yup, he has taken over at Catania. He has coached a few teams before, which includes the MLS’s own New England Revolution. I love you, and I will always love you. But Walter, I must ask. Why do this to yourself? Why?

—-> I’m starting to get sick of talking about this. So you can just read it. Then you can talk about it, again.

I’m going to have to cut it a little bit short today. The Roma game just started, and I really don’t want to miss it. I picked out most of the main news, but if I missed something just post it in the comments. Now go watch the game. Oh, I almost forgot. Forza Italia.

Ciao.

So now, as this season comes to a close. I leave you with the best goals of what was the 06-07 season. And boy, does that look good now compared to this current shit we’ve been having to deal with.

Ciao
