They both lost 0-1 away from home. what's the difference? did Arsenal outclass Roma that badly that they're already out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I think Juve deserved a draw. Roma.. had Arsenal had actual footballers, instead of Bendtner and Eboue, they'd have scored 3/4.

The UEFA president will not be going back to see Inter at San Siro any time soon after events on Tuesday night...


Former Juventus playmaker and current UEFA president Michel Platini endured a number of insults from Inter VIPs during the Champions League clash against Manchester United on Tuesday night, according to La Stampa.

The Italian paper has reported that Nerazzurri fans, who were seated in the executive boxes at San Siro, began to hurl a flurry of insulting comments towards the Frenchman because they were unhappy with referee Luis Medina Cantalejo. The Inter fans believed that Platini had chosen the match official to help Manchester United win against Inter.

La Stampa reports that one VIP shouted, "Platini, you piece of Juventus s***!"

Platini ignored the comments and he left unfazed by the insults. It is believed the Inter fans were angry because the UEFA chief revealed he would have liked to have given the trophy to his former side Juventus back in December.

However, those VIPs who didn't welcome Platini will have to thank him as reports suggest that it was he who decided not to sanction Inter coach Jose Mourinho for his comments towards Cantalejo after the fiery clash with the Red Devils.

It is believed the president gave specific orders not to take the investigation any further on Wednesday as UEFA appeared poised to study the match in greater depth.

and thats calcio for ya hahah

I know, still that game ended 1-0 not 2-0, 3-0, etc. Just because Arsenal owned Roma at the Emirates doesn't necessarily mean they'll do it at the Olimpico too, does it?

That's low. Even for them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) It's one thing for working class fans sitting in a large group to lose temper...but these are suits in executive boxes.

But I think Arsenal are just a much better team than Arsenal.

Come again?

Oh please.
It seems like you've turned into a complete sucker for all thing Mourinhese.

And that's an insulting comment for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know. But I think Arsenal are just a much better team than Roma. Of course, Roma could win the 2nd leg 3-0 or something, but on the evidence of the first leg, they just couldn't cope with the way Arsenal play.

It may be seen as low, but they're right. Platini is a Class A prick, in my opinion.

“I can tell you now that Inter will just try and get to a penalty shoot-out at Old Trafford. The Italian mentality is always there, despite the presence of Argentines and others. The concept is always the same, they will try to stifle our game for 120 minutes to preserve the 0-0 draw.”
