Thrashing them home and away will do the trick

Beetles, uhm. Anyway, I'm glad it's back too, Port. This season should be more interesting with new players in the game: Mourinho, Ronaldinho, Shevainio, Patoniho, Zamborghinio, Mellberginho, Baptistahino, and all.

This will be the best Serie A for a long time. Some top players have come into the league, or re-joined it, and I'm sure the gap at the top will be much closer. There are about 5 teams with real quality, so it should be interesting to see who will finish in the top 4. My prediction.. (Which may change dependant on other transfers).
1: Inter
2: Juve
3: Milan
4: Fiorentina
5: Roma
6: Napoli

Yeah, good signing. Was decent at Udinese and had a superb year at Portsmouth last season. Wouldn't have minded him in our half of Milan.

Still to earlier to say. But playing in a 4-3-1-2 for 3 seasons under Mancio and now in a 4-3-3, make it completely different.
Mourinho's first XI:
---------------Ibrahimovic-------------
Mancini---------------------------Figo--
----------Muntari--------Zanetti--------
-----------------Stankovic--------------
Maxwell-Cambiasso-Burdisso-Maicon
------------------J.Cesar----------------

Interesting lineup, that. Presumably should Quaresma arrive (rumors are still bubbling about that given his lack of appearance for Porto in the liga game), he'd slot into the 'Figo' spot in that formation?

Cambiasso at CB? I was trying to work out who was next to Burdisso on my rather poor stream of the game, surprised it was him!
When we come up against them, it's going to be a real battle in the middle of the park. The likes of Ambro, Flamini, Rino and Pirlo against Muntari, Cambiasso, Zanetti and Stankovic.. can't wait!

Nah, it didn't deflect.

I missed the first 20 or so of the first half, but he's been good as always. De Rossi owns.
This is just one leg now isn't it? So it it 90 +30 + penalties, or no extra time?

I think it's all one leg. At least according to Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Super_CupIn the San Siro... so it's obvious that Inter has the home field advantage... what kind of trophy is this lol? Roma did win the last one though...

If we miss Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini and Bonera we'd be doomed too.
They miss Cordoba, Samuel and Materazzi. Just their 3 best CB's. Plus Burdisso now.
