I too am supporting Juve this year, so... FORZA JUVE! Real comes second for me... but I don't think they have what it takes to win the CL. so... Juve Real Inter Those are the teams I want to win the CL this season, respectively. |

QUOTE Mourinho hails Euro Inter Tuesday 16 September, 2008 Jose Mourinho praised Adriano and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but above all Inter's work-rate in Greece. “The three points were the best part, but I think we played a Champions League style game, especially away from home. It isn't easy and the team had the right character to play for the win,” he said after the 2-0 victory at Panathinaikos. “The statistics say getting points away from home is key and we always come out to win. There were some difficult moments in the second half, but I think the win was deserved.” Ibrahimovic set up both goals for Amantino Mancini and substitute Adriano. “I congratulated Ibra because he worked so hard for the team and a player like him doesn't need to score in order to be decisive. His pass for Adriano was genius. “I told Adriano to play between the full-back and central defender and that's precisely what he did! It was great movement.” Mourinho had complained that Roberto Mancini accustomed the side to playing defensively and he was working to transform their overall approach. “It isn't simple to change the mentality of a team, but today we got the message across. “The last two seasons Inter had lost the opening game of the Champions League, but I told them we were a better side than Panathinaikos and if we didn't come here at least playing to win, then we had absolutely no place in this competition. “By introducing Adriano instead of a defender, that also got the message to them. I like attacking teams who always try to win, even away from home, and play with enthusiasm.” Above all, Mourinho admired the work-rate of his Nerazzurri stars in Athens. “You cannot ask strikers to defend by running constantly backwards. I ask them that, if they lose the ball, within the next five or six seconds they need to press the opponents to try and get it back. That is do-able and it makes it trickier for counter-attacks. “I told the side that if Panathinaikos have the chance to go on the counter, that creates problems for Materazzi and Cordoba. They understood that and I am truly happy with the work rate of my squad.” Roma got off to a dismal start, losing 2-1 at home to Cluj, but Inter are already top of their group after Werder Bremen stalled 0-0 with Anorthosis. “I didn't expect it, but Roma are better than Cluj, can win in Romania and I'll keep cheering them on so all four Italian teams can go far.” Channel4 I'm beginning to think this could finally be Inter's year. the only thing they lacked last season was that winning mentality which now thanks to a number of factor, like Calciopoli and Mourinho, it looks to be no more an issue for them... we'll see. |

Chelsea, Inter, Juve. Wouldn't mind United doing well so much, as long as they don't win the league!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Something's wrong. I'm mostly agreeing with Porty.
(I'd add the merda to his list of 'anyone but', but that's the only changed I'd make). |

I don't put Inter, Roma or Juventus 'cause it's always good for Serie A to have a Euro Champ. Even if it's only to silence the cocky 4 from England. BTW. Why do you keep writting "merda" when you edit many of my ofensive posts. I mean, if you can saying merda all the time, why can't we say SH*T and not get censored? Obviously I am going to report you. Like I give a damn if you're a mod. |

QUOTE (Tennie @ Sep 17 2008, 03:55 PM) Do what you gotta do then, Porty. For those who don't know "merda" means "sh!t" in Portuguese/Italian and some other languages. Therefore if "sh!t" is censored, "merda" must be too. It's offensive for me and for my eyes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

It's up to Mike to decide on this one. But if merda is censored out, then so too should be cvnto, cnut, and all the variations thereof. Because that is offensive for me and my eyes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Plain and simple. If "sh!t" (the word) offends you, m1ke, etc than "merda" offends me too. We're not talking about variations or anything like that. We're talking about a direct translation from English to Portuguese/Italian. This post has been edited by Portikins: Sep 17 2008, 04:15 PM |

As I said, it's Mike's call. Just as it's his call whether or not cvnto is offensive, which I believe it is.

Oh, it's good to be Mike! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Guys have a cold one, you too. I don't particularly like the word 'merda', I prefer to call them 'inter' when given a chance. And to be honest, neither is the world 'cnut', Porty. We may not notice it, but there are hundreds and thousands of people who come to this site/forum (it's a public place, after all) and there's bound to be some children who may glance through these posts. Ideally, we shouldn't use either of the terms. My humble $0.02. And oh here's the cold one.
(IMG:http://i27.tinypic.com/315etu1.png) We have more pressing matter to discuss and debate than using one word or another. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
