Inter will have their tough moments too. Just like what we're passing through. Matter of time.
Not really. They have the coach and the squad to be consistent till the end. We lack both. Inter are gonna stroll through to the title.

I want nothing more than Inter to lose the league this season(Mourinho being the reason) but if they're not dropping points now with all the injuries they have, i dont know when they're going to drop points.

    I'm confident they'll fall. Just wait till they meet the Romans in 10days time. Hopefully, It'll be the 2nd match they loose this season.

    I'd like it to be so, but I just don't see it happening. Perhaps they'll lose a couple of matches more, but they'll end up as champions with a comfortable lead IMO.

    I think from now till December everything will be clear. Either It's a tough competition and unpredictable or they'll be flying really high.

    They keep beating the "small" teams. Mancini's Inter was doing that and now Mourinho continued where Mancini left.
    That's what we did under Capello and that's the way to win a scudetto.

    They'll lose pts when they play Milan, Juve, Roma and occasionally they'll drop points against teams like Napoli, Sampdoria, Udinese.
    But we're talking about 10-12 such matches. Even if they drop some pts on these matches, they'll win the other 26-28 matches and comfortably win the scudetto.

    Milan on the other hand will beat a big team but they'll nullify this by losing way too many points against the minnows.
    With us you never know. We beat favs and lose pts where no-one expects us to.

    That's why Inter keep winning in Italy but that's also why they're unsuccessful in Europe when they play against the other giants.

    I agree with your post.... Except with that part "Inter keep winning in Italy".. I know I may sound biased a bit, but to me Inter's only Scudetto will count from 3years up till now will be this scudetto if they win.

    The boy was a bit special

    Cristiano Doni (Atalanta)
    He may be 34, but it’ll take more than the sands of time to stop Cristiano Doni from inspiring Atalanta. A provincial playmaker of the highest quality, he and teammate Sergio Floccari were the architects behind the 4-2 win over Sampdoria. Doni provided a goal, two assists and was responsible for Doria being reduced to nine men when Daniele Dessena thought that the only way to silence him was to hack him down.

    A good player he may be but he does seems to play well in Atalanta colors only. Believe we were once link with him like some 5 or 7 yrs ago

    Ivan Cordoba has told off Inter teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic for being “ungenerous to Roberto Mancini.”

    Ibra has been extremely vocal in his support of new Coach Jose Mourinho, comparing him unfavourably to predecessor Mancio.

    The Swede even went so far as to suggest he “learned more from the last three months thank in the previous five years,” but it is not a phrase that sat well with Cordoba.

    “I respect everyone’s opinion, but Zlatan must be aware that he had great years at Inter with a Coach who won a great deal and played him regularly,” the defender told Sky Italia.

    “There is no such thing in the world as a tactician who everyone agrees on, because the trouble with us players is nothing is ever good enough.

    “We are working very well with the current Coach, Mourinho can give us a step up in quality thanks to his experience, but we must also thank Mancini for everything we won with him.”

    Mancio was surprisingly fired in the summer despite notching up a third consecutive Scudetto.

    “Was Ibra ungenerous? I think so, but I don’t know if there was something deeper between them to warrant these comments. Perhaps it was a way of letting off steam now he feels more free,” continued Cordoba.

    “He had that injury problem during Mancini’s reign and couldn’t seem to find a way out of it, he couldn’t perform the way he wanted to, and perhaps he did not take that into account when looking back.”

    There was a clear split within the Nerazzurri squad between those who supported Mancini and the ones who wanted him out, as Adriano wouldn’t return to San Siro unless the tactician was replaced.

    Mourinho is in charge now and top of the table, albeit alongside Lazio and Udinese with less than sparkling performances.

    “It is normal for a team that has won so much to be criticised. There were some complaints after the derby defeat to Milan, but we are top in Serie A and the Champions League. All this seems ‘normal’ to people who are accustomed to being there now.

    “We cannot think that we are forced to win the Champions League, as that would be a mistake.”
