Same goes for Milan vs Madrid.

Milan vs Madrid = 1/3*(Inter vs Barcelona).

At best.

There's no way anybody can be neutral re: that match.

For a starters, I have one name for you: Mourinho.

He's like opera, either you love him or you hate him.

I'd go for the former. He's the special one after all.

I love the man, but I'm still relatively neutral. I prefer to see a great game and Inter lose, than a crap game and Inter win.

Same here. The only loyalties I have lie with the Gunners (well, I keep an eye on Leyton Orient, too; but that's more like the affection you feel for a doddering relative), so all I care about between Barca and Inter is seeing great football.

Inter this season is scary, they did a really deal giving that moron of Ibrahimovic for Eto'O+40mlns
He was strong but not worth that money plus a top class forward.
Milito kicks ass as ever.
Thiago Motta and Snejder are what midfield was missing last year.
Julio Cesar and Lucio are rocks, Maicon, well, do I need to talk about Maicon?

I'm not an Inter fan but if they don't win the CL this year...........

Man, that guy is the most entertaining trainer of last 20 Serie A years (after Trapattoni)

His quotes are already legendary.

I have my doubts about Lucio, but the rest seems on the money. Maybe a bit more doubts about Sneijder, as with Madrid he also started brightly and then kind of fluttered as the season went on.

Milito is the man and if this is any indication of his understanding with Eto'O and Motta, then Inter could be one of the most attractive teams to watch this year.

The gossip goes that it all depends if the nightlife in Milan is as kick-ass as the one in Madrid.

Adriano might be the man to give him some pointers.

Ha!

I would love to see them together with José Antonia Reyes and Ronaldinho.

Now that would be serious partying.
