Bologna v Inter: Mortadella Speedbump on the Road to Catalonia

Those two weeks were long. So long, in fact, that I have completely forgot what we were doing before it started. Something about points and kicking ass (or not, as the case may be)… It will come back to me, I’m sure. Anyway, here we are back to the championship, off to Bologna in an [...]

International Breaks Blow

I understand that being called up to a National Team is an honor. It means that among all the players from your particular country, you are one of the very best at what you do. Great. Good for them. I am proud of our Internationals. Right now, Inter has 13 squad members out being [...]

I ♥ Julio Cesar

By: Johonna |

And he loves us back. Well, he loves Inter. Well, he is “very happy” at Inter. Whatever. He is staying and that is all that matters. Yep, Julio Cesar Soares de Espindola has signed a contract extension with F.C. Internazionale Milano until June 30, 2014. What a wonderful gift after the crappy weekend football results [...]

Inter 1 – Roma 1

Well, we didn’t beat an opponent in the bottom half of the table. This would mark the first time this season that this has happened. A quick look at MAD’s Guide to the Scudetto shows that beating teams the show themselves to be in the second column of the league table home and away is [...]

Inter v Roma: Dipende da Noi

By: Johonna |

128 Comments

Just as it should, this game gets top billing this weekend. Say what you will about Roma, for some reason they always bring it when they travel to Milan to play Inter. It doesn’t really seem to matter their form or where they sit in the table, when they come to the San Siro, they [...]

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 [...]

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 had most of the possession… [...]

Dynamo v Inter: One More Shot at Redemption

By: Johonna |

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 [...]

Livorno v Inter: Let’s Snatch This Chance

By: Johonna |

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 least a match to test [...]

Inter 5 – Palermo 3, Zanetti 477

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 definitely one.
With that out of [...]
