We can laugh at Inter all we want, but at the end of the day we'd change places with Inter in a heartbeat. It's all rather pointless IMO, nevermind if its really sour grapes.

His motivations for international retirement are a tad touchy so it's better not to go there, and who are we to question the validity of his concerns anyway. It is a disappointment not only extending to the Argentines though, he was a rare breed I will miss seeing more of on the international stage.

Somehow, the there's more about the award than meets the eye. I have the feeling that the club is pulling strings to convince David to stay, but that could just be my paranoia talking.

The fact that its nothing more than a pointless facade is one thing, but something like a name change would do nothing more than attract more undue criticism and draw attention away from what really matters. It would only make sense in the event of a huge commercialization of the entire second...

Its been a while since we last played Vicenza, suffice to say in the previous meeting (in fact, all our previous meetings) the odds were alot more lopsided. Let the Risorgimento begin.

Amen to that, and RIP Facchetti.

I fail to comprehend why young coaches such as the likes of Donadoni, Klinsmann and Van Basten constantly see the need to rebuild teams to define their own eras, chopping and changing with the pre-existing structure and almost always doing away with experience in favour of a younger generation...

RIP, and my deepest condolences to his family. That his passion for wildlife was to eventually mean his undoing is perhaps not so much irony, but in a perverse sort of way, fitting. Think of it in the context of a firefighter or law enforcement officer dying in the line of fire; mortal dangers...

Pretty obvious predictions all round, not too sure about the Lucarelli-Spinelli drama and the Chivu bit sounds iffish but I'd be surprised if most of the rest don't happen. Especially the Inter bits. :wink:

Fabio Cannavaro 73 - 1 = 72 Gianluca Pessotto 117 Gianluca Zambrotta 50 - 1 = 49 Pavel Nedved 124 + 2 = 125 Alessandro Del Piero 393

I do see where you're coming from, and I understand and share many of your frustrations. Yet, in the context that this is taking place, I would prefer to see loyalty and commitment to the club as less of an obligation, but more of a selflessness I would admire and respect but not demand, even of...

I feel likewise, Adrian. Pessotto should be offered a place in the club, along the lines of an honorary club member or in an advisory capacity. The rigours of being the club's general manager may be a tad too taxing for him but I do want him there nonetheless.

That move is what I'd call a triple whammy.

He did give seven years of heart and soul for Juventus, and what the club did was a betrayal to its players. i don't see what's wrong or unjustfied with the article, TBH.

Boumsong is a hit-and-miss affair. The odds aren't good but I'm hoping he'll turn out good for us.

I share the sentiment that Burdisson could be a revelation at Juventus, he was indeed very impressive from what I've seen during his pre-Inter days and of course we all know that a player's performances at Inter are never a fair indication of how he would do elsewhere, and as Morratti ought to...

I would be surprised if he retires anywhere near Nicklaus' age to be honest, longevity in golf is diminishing with every generation. Besides, I'd figure a personality as famously competitive and forceful as Tiger would only want to retire at the top, no offence to Nicklaus but he left it far too...

Welcome to the forums. :smile:

Its up to the players themselves. I'd rather we not keep anyone who isn't fully committed to our cause and if Lyon makes a tempting enough offer I don't see any reason to turn them down. They aren't domestic league rivals so that's one less concern, and if we were to fail to gain promotion this...

But you don't understand him wanting to end his career at the most prestigious and successful club in the world? Besides, he could end his final years at Napoli yet.
