I don't see no winning mentality in their eyes, I see fear! They fear they might lose the championship, but you don't see that in a winner's eyes!

I don't agree, I think a new coach and some new young hungry players would be enough. As for the key I agree it's the motivation.

So the merda could've won today had a penalty been converted. Unfortunately for them, it wasn't. Here's an article from Channel 4 Football Italia about it:
QUOTE
Massimo Materazzi admits he should have left the penalty to Julio Cruz, but was swayed by memories of last season’s Scudetto celebrations.
The defender insisted on taking the spot-kick in the 2-2 draw with Siena that was saved by Alex Manninger,
“Unfortunately it went badly,†said Matrix after the result sliced Inter’s lead to just one point from Roma.
Roberto Mancini confirmed Cruz was the designated spot-kick taker, but Materazzi took control, remembering he had bagged a brace against Siena to seal the title last year.
“I think last season the order of penalty-takers was the same, but at the time and today I felt like taking it. Unfortunately I made a mistake.
“Perhaps with hindsight I should have left it to Cruz. I apologised to him afterwards.â€
Cruz was furious at the decision and had to be held back by teammates so that Materazzi could take the kick.
Not only was Mancini angry with him, but in the stands President Massimo Moratti was clearly caught on camera saying: ‘Materazzi lost us the game.’
“I heard about that, but in all honesty I think at that moment every single Inter fan hurled some kind of abuse at me,†said the Italian international.
“This is part of the sport and the sense of disappointment it can give you, so I can’t complain.â€
The Scudetto celebrations have been in place for several weeks now, but it’ll all go down to the wire when Inter travel to Parma and Roma visit Catania.
“There is disappointment for a game we could have won, but we must look forward now and wait for next Sunday. It’ll be a Cup Final against Parma.â€
Apparently a sizeable group of merda fans demonstrated after the game, hurling insults to the players and coach.

I don't know. Cuper hasn't been at Parma for a long time. Not even half of the season. What team sacks his coach 1 match before season end??? Does that make any sense? A bit fishy to me,..
My guess - Inter will drew, but Roma will blow. I've seen Roma enough to say that they break under pressure even more then Inter. Funny but IMO noone really deserves to be champion. Just like the 4th spot. Milan does not deserve it. But the again, does Fiorentina deserve it? This season is weired. And I'm glad it's come to an end.

Adriano was 'close to suicide'Inter outcast Adriano considered suicide at his lowest ebb with the Nerazzurri, according to the striking star’s mother.
L’Imperatore’s time at San Siro has been characterised by extreme highs and lows and his prolific spell after returning from loan at Parma in 2004 faded in the memory during a miserable 2007.
Adri’s mental state became fragile after the death of his father from a heart condition and his mother Rosilda has revealed the full extent of his troubles.
“He was depressed and had difficult times after his father’s death and other things,†she told Bandeirantes. “He even thought about killing himself.
“The Press surrounded our house and their criticism really got him down.
“He was quite young when he went to play in Italy and he felt alone there without anyone close to him.â€
Adriano has enjoyed a renaissance after being sent on loan to Brazilian side Sao Paulo and has found the net 15 times in 26 games.
Tomorrow his side take on Fluminese in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores and the 26-year-old will look to continue his impressive form in the hope of attracting some high-profile suitors when his loan expires this summer.

Cruz in three-game Coppa ban
Julio Cruz and Marco Materazzi have been handed hefty Coppa Italia bans for violent conduct during the semi-final with Lazio.
Inter won the tie 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico last week despite ending the game with 10 men following Materazzi’s dismissal for a lunge on Goran Pandev.
The defender has been suspended for two Coppa Italia matches for that incident, but his teammate Cruz came off worse.
Il Jardinero was caught on camera punching Aleksandar Kolarov on the side of the head in an off the ball incident.
The referee did not witness it, but the RAI television crew did and he has been given a three-match ban.
All of these will be seen out in the Coppa Italia and not Serie A, so Cruz and Materazzi miss the May 24 Final against Roma.

Now he's the capocanoniere and joins the legend P.Rossi who was the only player to be crowned top goal scorer in Serie B and A.

It's 2-2 at the half.
Zebra goals by (unsurprisingly) Del Piero and Trezeguet.
Samp goals by Cassano and (psst, Kurt!) Maggio.
Samp got a penalty in injury time. The penalty was saved. (nb, Belardi is playing in goal for the zebras for this one).

So tomorrow is the big day in Serie A. Lots of matchups to keep folks interested:
Parma-merda and Catania-Roma are both scudetto deciders and relegation battles. Traveling fans have been banned for both games though I imagine some will find their way into the stadium.
Milan-Udinese and Toro-Fiorentina are the CL deciders. Enough said there, we know what's at stake in these two games.
Empoli-Livorno...well, Livorno's already relegated and Empoli MUST win and hope other results go their way to avoid the drop.
Cagliari-Reggina and Siena-Palermo could be interesting games though all 4 teams are safe and have nothing really to play for.
Lazio-Napoli could be interesting in that Napoli are - I think - still pushing for an Intertoto spot.
Fox Soccer Channel is showing Parma-merda, Catania-Roma, and Milan-Udinese.

So as of 1pm local time, about 500 merda fans have gathered in front of the Tardini in Parma (remember, visiting support is banned for the game). They've lit off flares and have tried without success to force their way into the stadium. There's been one run-in with Parma fans that was quickly brought under control by the police.
So far, no reports of any difficulties in Catania with the Roma fans.
