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 [...]

Why Foreigners are Important to Serie A

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.

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 [...]

Tactics Talk 3

By: MAD |

With the international break still upon us I thought that I would like to look at and have some discussion on the back 4 of our team – not counting JC, of course. We already started talking about it on Monday, so I thought we could expand the discussion a little more and really go [...]

Um…. I Guess I Should Write Something Already

Just because we are on an International break doesn’t mean that I can totally slack off. True, there is not a whole lot to talk about, but those of you who have been around here for a while know I rarely let that stop me. Oh, and the picture has nothing to do with anything, [...]

Welcome To Your 2009/2010 Inter Squad

By: Johonna |

68 Comments

Now that the market has closed we can finally look ahead at the upcoming season. I know that technically the season has already started, but until September 1, anything could have happened. Overall, I think Inter comported themselves well this summer. We have picked up some depth and found new homes for some that needed [...]

In more ways than one. First, tomorrow the groups will be drawn for the next stage of the Champions League. Second, tomorrow we see whether Wesley actually gets on the plane this time.

This Sneijder Thing is Getting Messy

By: Johonna |

105 Comments

Alright, rumors should always be taken with a grain of salt – or, given some the “journalists” out there, a truckload – but Inter has been pretty strongly linked with Wesley Sneijder all summer. If you believe the newest rumors, things are getting a little icky in Spain.

On Your Marks, Get Set…

Well, the preseason is over and the real thing is poised to begin; Inter take on Bari in our season opener in less than a week now. Inter have not had the best summer campaign, that loss to Chelsea was particularly ugly, but the team is in flux and a few growing pains are to [...]

OK, Now What?

So we didn’t win. Meh. I see it as a half empty / half full kind of deal: the squad played well as a team with good movement and pace (half full) but they got one more goal than we did (half empty). I am not going to get into which was the better team [...]
