Muath Al Wari expresses the emotions of a devoted Inter fan…
Inter, Inter, Inter. My words amazingly fail to describe how I feel or even what I feel. I don’t know if it’s disappointment or optimism, as an Inter fan I am destined to only be optimistic, never satisfied. My team is one of Europe’s most prestigious, but that’s where it stops, I honestly can never say it’s one of the best, because being one of the best, implies that the team actually wins something that matters, even once in 16 years. Yes, that’s how long it has been since Inter wore the Italian flag on its shirt.
This year, like every year, was supposed to be the one. We were contenders, we began the season with the hopes that we begin each
season with, yet Inter, as usual, kills off those hopes by October. I try and think of an excuse, but I can’t find one. Fine, I would be generous enough and understand that we couldn’t breach Capello’s defences. But Palermo? Roma? Give me a break. This was supposed to be our year. At least against those mid-table teams. But yet again, every year is unofficially our year.
It’s depressing. My words fail to describe the Inter-syndrome; maybe we need to change our name or our colours, because going through at least 13 different teams and 11 coaches we amazingly manage to humiliate ourselves with style every year! Against Roma we played our worst match of the season, and I don’t really care about Adriano’s goal, what did it achieve? That’s another thing, Adriano was supposed to lead us from one victory to another, yet he is a shadow of the so- called Emperor we saw last year. This is the year that matters, and as tradition has taught us, Inter or its players never deliver when they’re most needed to. They thrash Livorno 5-0 and lose to Roma?
I don’t blame the Milanista or the Juventini for not even worrying about Inter and the so-called challenge we present. Because every year, even without them beating us, we throw it away, and what’s most annoying is the fashion we do it with, we lose to Palermo and a broken Roma. It’s disgusting.
After each game and a pack or so of smoked cigarettes and after each humiliating defeat I sit there and try to figure out what is the problem with Inter. What is this mysterious force that makes us this hopeless, and the answer is Inter, it’s not a curse, it’s not a bad collection of players - God knows the players that have graced the Inter lockers make up a dream team - and it’s not the organisation, Moratti cannot be blamed for this dismal team, the man has done all he can, only the deity can fix Inter.
It is us being us, this is Inter and this is probably the way it is always going to be. Porto and Liverpool go on and win the Champions League and we struggle against Palermo. It will never change and it will never end. This is Inter, and for who ever is a true Inter fan, Inter is only consistent with one thing, underachieving, I know how hard it is for Inter fans to admit this, but heartbreak is our destiny.
All I can say is that, you will never walk alone. No matter how much this team disappoints us, no matter how many heartbreaking defeats we go through, no matter how many times the Milanista and the Juventini will have the last laugh at Inter’s expense, we the fans will always be there to comfort each other because Inter will give us comfort. God knows that it’s my passion for this team and nothing else that has kept me faithful for so long and without anything in return. It is the passion we have for the Black and Blue that always makes us hold our breath until the next season, it seems like it’s our destiny
and for one, I have come to accept it. Our perpetual slogan; there’s always next year, Inter, always next year!

Mutu: Premiership is tougher
Juventus’ Adrian Mutu has claimed that the Premiership is a harder League to play in than Serie A. The former Chelsea striker endured a tough time during his 12-month stay in England, before failing a drug test and being axed by the Blues. "I was talking with Patrick Vieira the other day and we both agreed that it is more difficult to play in the Premiership," he said. "English football has more continuity, you always play at a high rhythm, without a break. And you have to keep on moving because every team plays to win. When Serie A teams face Juve, Milan and Internazionale, they close themselves in defence and you have to try and break the wall. In England you play football even though you know that you may lose."
