yeah, 2 assist and 1 goal, what a shit buy like http://inter.it/aas/img/119980-500.jpg The statistics lie. His overall play wasn't that good. You might also want to phrase it as "2 assists and one penalty" I don't know why I even bother having these back and forth discussions with you. I have no strong leanings towards any one team. My view is purely neutral. You blatantly see everything through blue-tinted glasses. You are border-line delusional.

When did Scott Parker learn to pass the ball forward?

Hmm, must say I could see Liverpool coming back regardless of whether they were playing 10 or 11. Can't really comment as I've only seen the highlights, but I'm sure they had a much better chance playing against 10 men.

Bolton robbed as well. No way was that a sending off.

Really? That's interesting. I personally don't think that Almunia is good enough to be their first choice goalie, and I also think that Diaby, Song and Ramsey are very poor as central midfielders to pair with Fabregas. I do however think that they are a CM and a GK away from a title challenge. I take your point about the keeper, but Diaby and Song are more than capable of a shift in the middle. Denílson looks to be shaping up finally, too. If RVP, Arshavin, and Eduardo can stay fit I can see them tearing apart the majority of teams in the league. The fullbacks are strong and get forward. I think they'll be this season's entertainers. Certainly a stronger squad than Man United. It all depends on Chelsea's form under Ancelotti as far as I'm concerned. They're the only team that will push them. That said I imagine their focus will be firmly on the Champions League and that might cause their league form to drop off. 1st and 2nd will be some combination of Arsenal and Chelsea. 3rd Man City. 4th Man United.

Arsenal absolutely robbed there. Still think they'll win the league, though.

In fairness, 3 or 4 of those would get into the Inter side. yeah Pirlo > Vieira Ronaldinho > Motta Seedorf > Muntari Zanetti and Gattuso are about on par. Pirlo and Seedorf are clearly one the way down and Vieira and Muntari didn't even start today (both were fit), so I don't understand how that logic dictates that they would get into Inter's side Both started last week. Muntari also started in the Supercoppa while Vieira came off the bench. They are both still getting into the Inter side.

FT. 0 - 4 Gattuso giving away the penalty and the sending off the obvious turning points. Up until then Milan had about matched Inter. Once the second went in it was as good as over. Inter dominated but should have really stepped it up a gear in the second half. Sneijder looks a very good buy. Vieira and Muntari are still shit. Milito needs to offer a bit more to the team. Motta looked a lot better than he did last week against Bari. Ronaldinho was wank. Pato, Flamini and Seedorf (once brought on) put in decent shifts. Borriello was his usual garbage self.

Pato has been bright in flashes, too.

Laugh all you want, there's no debate to be had with any of those statements. Vieira and Muntari are gash. You admit yourself that stopping Ronaldinho was the key to stopping Milan playing.

Sneijder off. Vieira on.

Muntari seems stunned that falling to the ground didn't help him retain possession. Seriously, I've no idea how this thick twat is in a Champions League side.

Excellent strike. Stankovic from 25+ yards. 0 - 4.

Inter haven't had to do much this half but it seems like they're not bothered. More concerned about keeping Milan at bay than attacking themselves. They're also still playing far too narrow. They've barely created anything. They have the numbers advantage over Milan they need to stretch the play out wide to exploit the extra space. They just got it out wide and created a goal scoring opportunity for Eto'o. More of the same and they'll get another couple of goals.

Eto'o scores. Ruled out for offside.

Muntari coming on for Motta. Milan might just get back into this

Sneijder puts it just over from 35-ish yards. Keeper had it covered but Sneijder is still looking lively.

Calciopoli certainly did give Inter the boost they needed... no doubt about it. But they now have a young, talented team and a great coach in Mourinho. It's going to be difficult for anyone to catch them over the next couple of season even if they don't spend another penny.

Ambrosini coming on for Milan. Borriello coming off. Seedorf on for Flamini.

Finished by half time. May as well call it a day now.

Explain what happened plzz. Gattuso got his first yellow when he pushed Eto'o and gave away the penalty - arguably should have been a red there anyway. He seemed to injure himself in the process and left the field. Seedorf was going to come on but he wasn't ready so he had to get changed. Gattuso was forced to go back on to the pitch for a couple of minutes until Seedorf was ready to come on. In the mean time Gattuso brings down another Inter player.. definite booking. Sent off. Seedorf can sit back down.

Gattuso sent off before the substitution can take place.
