1-1 out of nothing. Great header that.

This is piss poor stuff from Inter, it has to be said. Milan will be annoyed the game isn't already put to bed.

Great save from Abbiati. First real Inter chance.

San Siro currently experiencing the aftermath of Sunderland setting the transfer window alight.

Balotelli vs Handanovic Part III

Inter need something to get a foothold in this game. If Milan keep at it this could be a thrashing. Been all over them since the goal. Quite a few free kicks and already a few yellow cards. The makings of a red card sooner or later.

Moreover AC have Inter's number so far. Inter will do well to go in 1-0 down at HT and regroup.

Rinse and repeat. Yard either side and he scores. Milan's left hand side is dominating this game. Almost a patch on Leighton Baines.

Balotelli almost scores, brilliant save.

El Shaarawy, 1-0.

Balotelli misses a sitter.

The fuck's that thing on Palacio's head?

Marseille 13/2, what the hell? Tenner on Marseille DNB @ 4/1.

You sure you're not mixing him up with Danny Fox? He's 17 and has looked well up to task this year whenever I've seen him. He's got a big future ahead.

Atletico 1-0 from the spot, with hundreds of billions of yellow cards.

A raucous succession of own goals.

Gary Monk. Get in.

And they don't. Greedy part of me says I could've made a lot more though if I'd gone for Newcastle on the straight win and Swansea -1, but never mind.

Dyer throwing a hissy fit, but probably justified. Let him get his hatrick.

There's no way he can't send him off. That was a brilliant move.

Oh man.

According to interviews he's the most relaxed manager most players have had. Rodgers used to fine players for all sorts of things, late for team dinner, late for training, not wearing team clothes etc. Laudrup doesn't have a fine system full stop. After Liverpool last week, apparently it was the first time any of the players heard him raise his voice. Who he is, IMO, has a lot to do with it. Not only is he one of the very best players of the past 20-30 years (for me, anyway), he also comes across as a likeable, down-to-earth person. That combination surely gets the respect of the players and thus his instructions are well received. Compare that to Rodgers who is proving himself to be more and more deluded in his own thinking as each week and month goes by and you can see the difference. Oh, and he certainly ain't Michael Laudrup.

Then Cagliari score. Unlucky Torino.
