Osvaldo is a cancer to the locker room, there's no other way to put it. It wouldn't be long before he punch someone (again) and piss off the fans.

by the way, great pickup there for Shaqiri, i always think that he's kinda wasted at Bayern.

hey guys the Shaqiri deal...is it permanent or loan with buy option?

nice to see other posters in this thread once in a while. i thought it was going to be an eternally two-way conversation between me and darthbii.

aye inter fans are currently so in the mood and pumped up for the next game against genoa. anything less than a win is unacceptable.

the first half was a joy to watch, but in the second half, we looked indeed unconvincing like you pointed out. what's with us always having one good half and one bad half ? this has been going on for quiet some time now and it seems like even mancini hasn't been able to fix that yet. do something about it ffs, please.

guarin was amazing in the first half. there was one run he made, skipping past his marker with sheer athleticism. should have just blasted it there. a shame he decided to be unselfish when he should have chosen to be selfish. but yeah, a superb performance.

vidic, yes a commanding display by him. that's what we expect from a world-class centre back like vidic. he struggled with that ridiculous three-man defence (of course, everybody would with that thrice-damned stupid tactic), but in a formation with a back four he's just class. poldi was great in the first half, but almost invisible in the second. a shame we couldn't see shaqiri making his debut.

what, where are you going mate? come on, school is only back in session. bugger your academic books. it's too damn early to be squinting at them.

aye i understand. i wish you all the best. you'll nail it i know.

we drew 0-0 last night.

i forgot who were playing against though, was it real madrid or bayern munich? can't recall.

oh wait, i remember now. it was empoli.

completely outplayed by empoli. nice one inter. 

sometimes football can be funny. such a difficult game to comprehend. not so long ago, we put an impressive display against juventus (undeniably the best team in the league) at their home ground. i would say we were on par with them in that game tbh. nah, we could have won the game really.

but last night, playing against f***ing empoli of all teams, we were totally outclassed in every department. at some point of the game, i couldn't help but wonder if we were actually playing against 11 players? it seemed like they were playing with 843683462067 players (okay, that's an exaggeration but you know what i mean). they were simply all over us. they were all over the place that we couldn't even keep the ball for 3 secs ffs. their energy, their pressing, their game plan. oh they were so damn good that every one of their players looked like ronaldo and messi and yaya toure and pirlo and hummels and thiago silva combined.

we were lucky to get away with a point. if not for handa's heroics (as always), we would have been spanked so hard in the arse. credit to both our centre backs as well. rano and vidic were solid.

did mancini f*** it up? well, take a look at the line-up that started last night's game.

            handa
campa rano vidic d'ambro
        guarin medel
palacio  hernanes  poldi
              icardi

i don't know. maybe pairing guarin and medel together as defensive midfielders was a terrible idea. maybe not starting kovacic was one as well. and palacio... well, he's clearly past it. bad touches, bad decisions. there were two good goal scoring chances involving him. first, he stupidly decided to head the ball when it was clearly easy to just control the ball and shoot it with his foot. second, he decided to pass when he could have just taken a shot. shaqiri did make his debut and did okay. there was nothing he could do when all his team mates were playing like they didn't care (expect handa, vidic, and rano). 

in conclusion, definitely a game to forget.

weird, yeah. sometimes i think we can beat chelsea then lose to cesena in the following match.

i didn't watch the game so i have no idea of how we performed though. but the first goal, that combination between poldi and shaq was sublime.

and icardi just couldn't stop scoring too. good, bene bene.

oh yes, regarding f***ing empoli, heard they recently made life very difficult for roma as well. so, now i feel like i can forgive our woeful display against them.

i have no idea who this brozovic dude is. i just watched some youtube videos though. i know that every player seems as good as messi on youtube, but i like it that he's ambidextrous. pretty good at shooting with either foot this lad.

i believe we were strongly linked with another balkan sounding player before. his name is susic or something like that. not sure if he's joining us as well.

handanovic, vidic, kuzmanovic, kovacic, brozovic. oh yes, balkan invasion.

i watched this crap on a shitty stream.

shitty stream, REAL SHITTY performance, SUPER SHITTY result.

oh my. i just don't want to talk about this pathetic team for now. makes me f***ing sick and disgusted.

nah, i'm already used to this abomination. but sometimes i wish i was born a real madrid/barcelona/chelsea/bayern fan though.

your team has not been doing pretty well lately too i see?

anyway we are out of coppa italia. lost 0-1 to napoli. that mistake by ranocchia in the last minute. 

third defeat in a row. forza mancio

Why Icardi didnt celebrate? Is it because of what happened between him and away supporters in previous match?
