I'ts good to see such bravado from some undoubtedly dedicated Inter fans here. However, to argue that Inter are without their problems is ludicrous. Inter are very much a case of all mouth and no trousers - promising much and delivering little. They have an over-reliance on tempramental Argentinian players, an incredibly shabby record of treatment with their managers in the past. And, lets face it, an awful record in the Milan derby in recent years.

I hope they prove me wrong this season, but I cant see them being able to actually string enough results together to mount a serious challenge for anything other than a champions league spot.

I'm not being disingenuous with these posts, just looking for a reason behind Iner's staggering lack of success in recent years.

You overlook the fact that the transfer market - especially regarding Italian players - has been stitched up in recent years by Moggi, Galliani and co.

Go on. A convinient excuse had now been provided for the interisti for thier team's failure. What about the CL? Or do juve and milan fixed that also so inter should fail miserably the way they did for donkey years? I think inter fans should just accept the fact that their team is "natural-born-loser", level or no level playing field.

To be honest, as un-ambitous as it might sound I'd happily take "natural born loser" over "cheat" anytime, thanks

If inter are presumably 'clean' this time around, I believe it's only because they lacked even the gut to cheat and win. Winning is not in their character. Unless of course if it is the tim cup.

I always thought cheating was a cowardly thing to do.

Too Right!

sms - you're deluded if you think it takes "guts" to bribe a ref or throw a game

I don't understand why Inter have received so much criticism. I think it is pretty clear that Inter have themselves to blame for not winning in recent years, but the corruption has played a part too. And although a scudetto win this season would not feel quite right without beating Juve and co, they or whoever wins it will have deserved it. It is not their fault that Milan and Juve have cheated.
