Why Foreigners are Important to Serie A

By: MAD |

There is a perceived lack of Italians on this team, even though we have several, who apparently don’t count. Supporters of other teams, who like to find a reason to have a go at us, often use the “no Italians” chant to show their superiority where none might otherwise exist.

Our Deki did WHAT?

Ok, so everyone who follows Inter Milan knows that Dejan Stankovic is, well… for lack of a better term, a muppet. 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 would have expected to be [...]

Dynamo v Inter: One More Shot at Redemption

By: Johonna |

226 Comments

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 the boys are up for [...]

Inter 2 – Dinamo 2

By: MAD |

62 Comments

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 partner whether the Italian team [...]

But What Have You Done For Me Lately?

By: Johonna |

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 us up into second – [...]

Off to Fight the Tatars

By: Johonna |

Inter have made their way to the frozen northern steppes to take on last year’s Russian Premier League champions, Rubin Kazan (or Футбольный клуб Рубин Казань in Russian; Рубин Казан футбол клубы for the Tatar separatists out there) in Matchday 2 of the UCL. If Inter have any hope of continuing past the group stages, [...]

Inter 0 – Barcelona 0

By: MAD |

37 Comments

The Champions League group stage, in case people have forgotten why the game was played in the first place, is about survival and advancing into the next round. The one thing you don’t want to do is to shoot yourself in the foot and come away with no points and have to fight an [...]

Preview: Inter – Barcelona

By: MAD |

Match day 1 for us in the UEFA Champions League pits two clubs that historically have done a lot of business together and have a great relationship: Inter – Barcelona.
I have a lot of problems with the current format of the UCL – namely that it’s not a tournament of champions anymore – but there [...]

Tactics talk

By: MAD |

The season will resume from the international break this weekend and we here at Inter land have a chance to talk about something that we didn’t do very well last season and something that due to massive injuries, we didn’t have a real chance to do the season before.

Mid-Week News Dump

This International break could not come at a worse time. Here we are, all pumped up after our first win of the season and now we have to twiddle our thumbs for two weeks while praying feverishly to the Calcio Gods that no one gets hurt. Most of the squad has packed up their balls [...]
