Are you sure? I noticed Grygera, Legrottaglie, Marchionni and De Ceglie, but I can't recall any sign of Mellberg.

Mellberg was there in the middle, Locke. He was the one who had contact with Jovetic in the area that could have been (should have been?) a penalty. Only one with a beard. Marchionni was in midfield.

Strange, I don't remember seeing hm at all out there, and I watched the entire game.
By the way, is it just me or is this Cristiano Zanetti fellow a very, VERY good player?

Zanetti is rather good, yes. I was impressed by the 2 kids the gobbi had out there -- De Ceglie as LB and Marchisio in midfield. Both of them are former youth team players.

I never liked Zanetti at Inter but he's been very good with Juve. And he's 31, I thought he was in his middle thirties. He had a great game tonight!

He reminds me a bit of Ray Parlour, for some reason.

I am 100% with you, he has been superb since he joined them. Yet another player who's improved since leaving Inter, who'd a thunk it?

If that club is known for one thing it's scrapping talents so bad Juve and Milan have to clean up the mess afterwards.

It reminds me of the Kellogg's Corn Flakes box.

Don't make fun of the Great Chicken! (Fishdoll really likes the big banner).

with some brown sugar thats all i ate aas a child

get home at 3:00. watch family matters, simpsons and fresh price while eating corn flakes

Isn't that a rooster!?

Haha. yes, technically it's a rooster, dst.

Technically it's actually a Gallus gallus

It's been a busy first 45 minutes in the Sunday games.

Bologna 1 - 3 Milan
Lazio 1 - 4 Cagliari
Napoli 0 - 2 Roma (surprising, this. not easy to go up on Napoli at the San Paolo)
Siena 1 - 0 Atalanta
Palermo 1 - 1 Udinese
Lecce 2 - 0 Torino
The only game without a goal so far is Genoa-Catania.

Whoa, what happened to the Roman club? Letting in 4 goals in just over 40 minutes!

They missed two penalties as well.

Holy quack-a Molly!

*raises eyebrow*

Quack-a-molly

I see Pato has you lost for words!

In a way, yes, I guess.

Listen to the lady....Don't disrespect the Galletto!

Inter-Samp has been dull, nothing has really happened at all.

Dull? It's turned into a slugfest. Adriano did slug a Samp player in the box, no call. Lots of nasty fouls. Mourinho sent to the stands a couple of minutes ago. A lot of yellows.

In between the fouls, there's been a bit of football and it's still scoreless.

1-0, Adriano. Superb play from Maicon.

Tennie, I meant in a football sense. There had been about 1 shot up until the goal!

Goal by Adriano---bahhh..

^but maicon did set him up nicely



yeah highlight of the match: mourinho getting a yellow.

but seriously, every five seconds someone was on the ground and/or someone was getting booked.

I hope Inter lose, then we'll have a very open race for Scudetto...

I can't see them losing this one today...

The way things are, they probably won't lose...worse maybe a draw...a draw is still good enough...

Samuel subbed out at the half for the cugini. Cordoba in his place.

Poor Samp, a few players gone off with injury now.

Pazzini had a good chance, great tackle from Cordoba. Julio Cesar has picked up a bit of an injury, Toldo on.

EDIT: Toldo not coming on now, Cesar seems okay.

Sounds like a drama packed game

Come on Samp!!

Just noticed that the cugini are playing with a primavera kid named Santon as LB. This is really turning into a slugfest.

Mancini off for Figo.

i've always loved that guy, wish we signed him .

Maxwell on for Chivu. 7 minutes left.

6 minutes added on.

Christ. That sure as hell won't get it done.

Woah!!!



Looks like they're going to win though

Julio Cesar made a great save in the dying seconds.

FT Inter 1-0 Sampdoria.

Too bad. Oh well...

Who are Inter playing next?

Wasn't that Cordoba-Pazzini meeting a penalty?

^reff didnt think so

julio caesar

Pazzini and Palombo...two samp players that did really well, impressive imo.

and that Stankovicus needed to stop tripping.

The cugini are travelling to Mount Etna midweek - they are away to Catania. Wonder how many of their players are going to be injured - same for Samp. That was a brutal game.

He's the best of the best. The top keeper in Serie A. I wish we would have signed him in 2005, certainly would have solved all our GK problems for the next decade and a half. Every inter match I watch, I can't but help notice his talent.

Not only that, he's married to one of Ronaldo's ex-girlfriends.

On the bolded part, definitely, but nobody knew back then that JC was going to be half as good as he is now. Toldo was still #1 back then and Cesar was fastened to the bench at Chievo due to EU regulations.

There can be only one!!!!!!!!!

What is this, Highlander?

Exactly! There's no match for Buffon.
