Probability, bav. It's still mathematically possile for us to win the premier league, even though it's a virtual certainty that we won't. Inter are a different kettle of fish, obviously, since they are/were the team to beat; the Chelsea of the division. It's true that teams have been known to pull back 9 points or more (e.g. Arsenal - 97/98) to win the title, and if any team in Europe has the ability to do that now, it's Inter. They've the players, the winning experience, but do they have the manager? I wouldn't pull the trigger just yet but that's just me. I think managers should be given a reasonable amount of time to pull it back. The reality is that in Italy, and in football and life in general, people are less patient.
