He is goofy, wears his heart on his sleeve, and has large sticky-outy ears. In other words, he is just about the last person on the team that I ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/our-deki-did-what.html First things first. Happy Birthday to Angelo Moratti RIP, Luis Figo and Mourinho's daughter. Alright. Allow me to summarize my reaction to the first 84 minutes of this game: Here we go again. I thought: another game in which we are the better team and not necessarily acting like it. Oh, we ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/dinamo-1-pazza-inter-2.html Inter are going back to Russia (ok, well Ukraine) to see if we can finally find our footing in Europe. We have not exactly excelled, and our high-flying Serie A position will not count for a hill of beans. It will be cold, and Kiev is a good team, but ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/dynamo-v-inter-one-more-shot-at-redemption.html As I write this, Juve have just fallen to a resurgent Napoli and we have a golden opportunity to go five clear at the top (or more, depending on the Samp result). I know I always say this, but I think this will be a tough match - or at ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/livorno-v-inter-lets-snatch-this-chance.html Let’s get this out of the way right now – when a defender takes out the back leg of the forward heading to goal, and doesn’t touch the ball, it’s a stone cold penalty. If Julio Cesar gets called for his "penalty" a week or so ago, than this is ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/inter-5-palermo-3-zanetti-447.html The results are all in, and, no matter the outcome of the game tomorrow, we will still be top of the table come Friday. Although a draw would not be a disaster at this stage of the competition, a loss would sting. Plus, I want to win this one - ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/inter-v-palermo-time-to-play-catch-up.html The dichotomy that is Inter concluded its 9th league game this past Saturday with an indifferent win. The dichotomy of course is that Inter can dominate so easily on Saturday and Sunday, but have such troubles on Tuesday and Wednesdays. Is it mental? Is it the competition? Is it familiarity? ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/inter-2-catania-1.html Ok. So now we have to shake the Champions League blues from our hearts and minds and really, there would be no better way to do that than to unload a serious Genoa/Milan style whooping on Catania. But we musn't get our ahead of ourselves, there are no sure things ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/oh-ya-there-is-tha-whole-serie-a-thing-too.html Matchday 3 for the UEFA Champions League group stage ended for us on Tuesday. As usual for Inter in a Champions League game it had its ups and downs. Unfortunately for me, it starts on Fox Soccer Channel when the idiot who is the color commentator had to ask his ... http://inter.theoffside.com/champions-league/inter-2-dinamo-2.html Sure, Inter just dismantled Genoa on Saturday, but this is Tuesday and a whole new game. More importantly, this one is an absolute must win (no matter what Mou says). After two games, Inter are third (third!) in Group F, behind Barcelona and Dynamo. A win against tomorrow will move ... http://inter.theoffside.com/team-news/but-what-have-you-done-for-me-lately.html
