Serie A... here my take..

Milan are going to win it because of the attacking talent in their squad..
Roma second because they have a few quality players who always seem to step up towards the end of the season
Juve third... Probably the most balanced squad in the league (besides Inters) but still need to find the right setup to utilize the talent at their disposal
4th spot between Napoli and Lazio... If Lazio start playing Zarate sometime soon then they'll definitely finish in the top4 imo... Him and Hernanes are both top players for a Italian side.. Napoli rely too much on the likes of Lavezzi but if they can keep getting results against the strong sides and remain strong at home then i dont see why not..


Inter... Its a shame to see the best club in Italy in such decline... Hopefully with a swift change of management they get back to their rightful position .. Wouldnt be surprised if some Inter fans start hoping they lose their next game in Europe thus knocking them out of the competition from the 1st round.. Would probably see them sack their manager and get back to walking the league.. As things stand, 6th seems about right !

They'll probably end up somewhere in the top4... the league is so sht that a side that has players like Etoo, Sneijder, Millito, Cambiasso...etc could probably get a CL spot despite their manager's best efforts !

I still think its far to early in the Italian league to predict the outcome with any success but I still believe  Inter will win it and the champions league.... as for my prediction as to the overall standings I believe ..... Juventus will be 2nd because they are gathering a momentum  ,and Ac Milan 3rd because an injury to Zlatan and they will be seriously struggling  ,Lazio 4th never rely on Brazilians to be consistently good...
Why  do I think Inter will win the Champions League ...because I still believe Rafael Benitez to be one of the finest managers in Europe
Like I said earlier far to premature  to unfurl any banners deriding Benitez just yet :;):

Inter have had a poor spell but it's still relatively early days. They're an ageing squad who were never going to be able to reproduce the heroics of last season. They've also had injuries galore this season, especially in midfield.

Has Rafa even brought a player yet? ???

Mind you, they are a better team now than when Roy first took over, they were battling against relegation at the time. I don't see them sinking that low this time around.

I suspect the hardcore fans that pelted him with lighters and coins would love to have him back seen as how revered and well respected he was ....this is what Google was invented for to save posters looking a touch foolish with their impetuous answers



Hodgsons hasty retreat

Oh yes they love him them pesky Inter fans  :love:

Internazionale's chairman, Massimo Moratti, who failed to persuade Hodgson to reconsider his decision, said: "I'm sorry that the fans consider Hodgson the guilty party. I think they exaggerated." He added. "I know Hodgson well, he doesn't deserve such a mortification."

Darn Iinter fans jumping to conclusions again.

Reckon Roy has a fast car with its engine left running outside every stadium he's worked........

Il Messagero newspaper described him after the game against Roma as being possessed of “velvet feet and a superior brain”, and Juventus have quickly discovered that none of the old grace has been lost. To observe Aquilani on the ball at times is like watching a coaching video on footballing technique. Few players even at the top level are able to keeps their heads up, and their eyes searching for a pass, so consistently when under pressure from opponents.

Thanks will have to see if i can watch one of their matches on espn.

I wonder how final his loan is ?

Remember me saying. 'Quote' Give it till christmas and you will all be begging him back. Not laughing at me now are you.

I am just interested that's all.

During Inter's recent downturn, they've been without Cesar, Cambiasso, Milito, Maicon, Samuel, Stankovic, Sneijder for all or several games

Not that I'm trying to come up with excuses or anything. Just saying like.
