A competition of who sucks the most, let's hope Inter don't disappoint

[Fillipo Simone]

The table might be looking good for us, but the performances paint an entirely different picture. We've struggled to really make a mark even against the worst teams in the league.

The derby's story in the last few years has basically been the statement I made above. A competition of who's worse on the night. And when one team looks good, it's usually a case of saying "are we really playing this good or is the other side making us look good?"

That being said, Inter have been spiralling, so I hope they don't disappoint this weekend and they'll be their usual selves.

I disagree completely with you. I'll never understand this logic of self flagellation you apply every now and then. Surely, Milan ain't playing like Barcelona. Surely, this isn't the birth moment of a great future team of invincible Milanistas. But after what, 2 years of torment this is perhaps the closest we came to a breeze of freshness and hope. And then you mark the derby as a "competition of who sucks most"? Come on man, this isn't necessary, really . in so many ways.

Today in football many derbies tend to be this way; one-sided. Look at Bayern-Dortmund, ends up usually very bad for the latter. Look at City and United - watched a few of those derbies recently, not much excitement. So everything has and up and a down side. I look at the Madonnina derby as a pretty ancient derby, stripped off the special quality it had back in the 90's and 00's, but with lots of emotions, lots of ups and downs, hard work, tears, sweat and joy.

I don't get why you have to be so negative. Is it a shield for you? You drop expectations by saying the derby is a competition of who sucks most so you can watch it with more - what? Joy? Certainly not. So what does you approach bring I ask myself?
