...With his ready smile as wide as ever, the striker is relishing the chance to play on the biggest stages in the game, given that his international career with Trinidad and Tobago means that he seems unlikely ever to grace the World Cup finals....
ah ready :challenge: :flamethrower:
Ah feel Inter goe rub tears in ManU eyes...
ManU due for ah stumble..ah feel iz time..
Yuh really beginning to see how good dis Mourinho fella iz....
Even if Inter lose...I think Mourinho has done alot with tis Inter team...
I think Man United will get found out over these two legs.
The truth is, they are not as good a team as last season when they were firing on all cylinders and still won the CL title on the back of a cowardly second leg performance against a weak Barcelona team and a missed John Terry penalty kick.
There success in the league this year is just a bigger reflection upon how badly Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have been as contenders this year. It would take an extremely biased Man United fan to say they are playing their best football this season.
Look for Inter Milan to poison them in both legs.
... and I putting the APB out for Cristiano Ronaldo now before the game even start. This is a big game!

The difference was C.Ronaldo- he was more influential last season than in this one. I think their 1st leg performance against Barca last year was actually more cowardly than the second... but yuh could argue that they won out via superior tactics....
Inter has the quality to win this one- but like I said in another thread, I think it will come down to being able to control the pace of the game. The EPL's differentiator from the rest of Europe is the tempo at which they play the game- it's on average higher than in Spain & Italy. I'm not an EPL advocate or hater, but from my observation the tempo of the game is where EPL teams can etablish (and in recent years have established) the advantage...
If Inter can gain control over the tempo of the game, or adjust upward...they have more than the necessary tools to win this tie. Another twist is if Man U goes to the San Siro to lock up shop like they did against Barca last year in Camp Nou, I think Inter will be up against it because I just don't see that creative force in Inter's line up with the magic to unlock a stubborn Man U defense.
if only they cud have both gone out this round :(
oh well, as much as i hate to i backin inter for this one for the mere fact that i hoping for a italian clean sweep to shut the EPL up once and for all still talking about italy being a catenaccio league.
i can't stand how much the EPl "pundits" & commentators big up that stupid league while not even acknowleging the fact that the football is just as good if not better on the continent. especially that pseudo-englishman andy gray.
2-0 to merda tonight & then we go cut dey tail in d nex round after their overly boring defensive display that is GUARANTEED to follow at OT if they win tonight.
ronaldo ready for action.
he even have a carnival float.

I did not know Man United had a diving team. Carrick and Ronaldo all 10s.....as I'm typing another dive, this time from the 20 m board.CR7 is de QUEEN of divin in de EPL
your point about a higher tempo game being advantage is highly debatable.. history has shown that the gung-ho headless chicken english brand makes easy fodder for the continental teams (think back to the AC milan v Man Utd game at the San Siro a couple seasons back). i would say that the EPL successes has more to do with the quality of their teams rather than the style of play..
also, ronaldo's form is a factor in man utd's game this season, but something should be said of the impact that the departure of Quieroz must have had. Similar thing happened when he left the first time around..
Anyhow back to business...
glad to see the youth Santon getting the start here. Keeping an eye on him.

wow. Adriano.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
come on Inter.
ManUre crumbling like dogsh!t on the sidewalk on a cold winter's day.
That same lines man played Ronaldo? in in the 1st half when he was marginally offside - even causing Tommie Smith to say that you will see the attacker getting that call most times - but put his flag up as soon as Zlatan got in.MafiaU.....ent :devil:
That's not even a foul on VDS, he went into Adriano, as Adriano went straight up and eyes were fixed on the ball.
Refs are shocking, they trying to take the wind out of Inter sail as they are all over Man United now.
ah hear man runup in fletcher house in manchester and rough up he wife and mother in law.

with my qualifications,
i have to be the smartest blind retard..
Tommy bias no ass...is a good thing he was not the ref yes...
I hate both Inter and Man U, but I think the ref and commentators favoured Man U.
I thought both sides played evenly tho. Man U in the first and Inter in the second.

Man U was the better team. If this was a showcase of EPL vs Serie A, EPL gets the points. But in terms of the competition at hand, 0-0 is actually a decent score for both teams.
Inter took about 30 mins to settle, and even when they did and finally controlled periods of the game, they never forced a good save out of Van Der Sar. Their attacking play was disjointed and their forwards, never made space for a shot on goal........ ....Ibrahimovic showed flashes of skill/danger but was never really decisive... J.Cesar was saving Inter until the 90th minute (mostly from set plays though).... Man U moved the ball around the field crisply and comfortably most times too quickly for Inter to chase, especially in the earlies....and for long periods of the game yuh had to wonder who was the home team. Muntari was awful today. Possession stats ended evenly but this was not an even game.
I said in other threads that teams outside of england need to adjust upward in terms of the pace of the game to stay on the same field with the EPL top 4. This game was a perfect example Inter took a half hour or more to do so, but never looked convincing. If I were Sir Alex, I would be ruing a missed opportunity to take the advantage on the road.
Anyways next game it starts from scratch. Safe (well not that safe) money says Man U comes out of this round alive. But one would be a fool to count out a side like Inter with that much quality and a coach like JM.
say wuh,we will rip they ass in good ole england.
JM is counting his lucky stars.
I more inclined to say that he is praising his 'keeper. Julio Cesar was absolutely brilliant today and clear choice for man-of-the-match. cronaldo was very effective today, just not effective enough. I find Inter was giving manu way too much room to play in the first half and Ibra was coming and going in and out of the game. As was the case of so many of you, Muntari had me cussin' like a sailor whole game, just like the officials and the commentators were. Sometimes I could laugh at Tommy Smyth's humour, but otherwise, he's just a bag of hot air that fool espn into believing that he know more about the game than he really actually does. He seem to believe that in the game of football ALL contact constitutes a foul. Oone can clearly see the manu players constantly and repetitively kickin' out, extending and dragging their legs to get con the chupid, cheatin-ass officials and Tommy Smyth and Derek Rae cyah see dat. PACK AH ASS!!
That being said, though, I feela I have to concede the edge to manu next week. Vidic coming back, yeah, but if Inter keep playing this uninspired football, Julio Cesar will eventually end up retrieving a ball or two from the back of the net. Inter cannot keep exposing the man like this, week in, week out in all competitions and not expect to pay the price.

yeah again JC was in top form...The save off CR's header in the earlies will go down as one of the best I've seen in a while.

Yeah, Kicker, that one was a rel good save. My friggin' heart was in meh troat when dat metro-bitch get up and head dah ball, I SWEAR it was a goal but was utterly shocked when JC made the save. He didn't have to stretch, but his reflexes and agility are what were on call for that one. The respective saves he made against Giggs and then Rooney were absolutely superb goalkeeping. The man is on fire right now!!

lol!! The man still hasn't gotten over having given up his position to a Brazilian.....but his re-routed anger was justified today. The ref was declaring war on Inter!

But in terms of the competition at hand, 0-0 is actually a decent score for both teams.Yes man kicker, you does drop it real neutral and real....plenty men does come and post with full bias and emotion, and miss the clear analysis.

I'm surprised Toldo is still at Inter. Once a solid Italy #2 behind Buffon and an experienced international in his own right, I remember he used to be mentioned among the top keepers in the world. So, he gets injured and loses his place to JC and does what seems like the right thing..stays and fights for his place, even if he was a bit of a whiner about it. But at some point you'd imagine Toldo would move on to a competitive team outside the top 3 or 4 in Italy and revive his career. Don't know the details, but he seems to have stuck it out at Inter, playing in the Coppa Italia when I think he could be playing a lot more. Same for Dida to make a move too. Not everyone's fave, but I find dat youth have talent and when AC won the CL in 2003 he was considered one of the best in the world..a young Petr Cech even named him as his favorite keeper saying he had perfect technique. prior to being dropped by Ancellotti though, he had started to look awful. He was very good in a woseful WC 2006 by Brazil, but at AC Milan, his time seems up. Again..I doh know the full story, but I personally rather play for a mid level club in a competitive league than ride pine at a big club..given I already tasted the highest of the high and just want to revive my career before time to retire.

Cudicini at Chelsea, Dudek at Madrid, Kuszczak at Man U, Manninger at Juve....all goalkeepers who could walk into a smaller side and start. Look at Cesar Sanchez who was once no. 1 in front of Casillas, and has even been capped for Spain. Man was up until recently riding pine at Spurs- Redknapp bawl de man wasn't ready, meanwhile H.Gomes was droppin' balls like hot potatoes week in week out....Sanchez ups and ride out...starting for Valenica now....though I think it's because Renan- (their Brazilian first choice, is hurt)
Goalkeeping is a funny position. Big sides like to have 2 or 3 first tier keepers in the line up, and goalkeeping seems to be a kinda stability position, where the man in the sticks would have to be injured or dripped dry of confidence for another man to take his spot....probably why yuh doh see seemingly big keepers just riding out in search of playing time at smaller clubs.
On another note, is Brazil emerging as a goalkeeping factory?

I was tryin to hold back, but i couldnt resist....Cudicini plays for Spurs now :beermug: ;D
Toldo is about 37-38 now. He was first choice keeper until about 35. De man is old. He probably doesnt want a job where he's playing every week.

Not everyone's fave, but I find dat youth have talent and when AC won the CL in 2003 he was considered one of the best in the world..a young Petr Cech even named him as his favorite keeper saying he had perfect technique. prior to being dropped by Ancellotti though, he had started to look awful. He was very good in a woseful WC 2006 by Brazil, but at AC Milan, his time seems up. Again..I doh know the full story, but I personally rather play for a mid level club in a competitive league than ride pine at a big club..given I already tasted the highest of the high and just want to revive my career before time to retire.
Cudicini at Chelsea, Dudek at Madrid, Kuszczak at Man U, Manninger at Juve....all goalkeepers who could walk into a smaller side and start. Look at Cesar Sanchez who was once no. 1 in front of Casillas, and has even been capped for Spain. Man was up until recently riding pine at Spurs- Redknapp bawl de man wasn't ready, meanwhile H.Gomes was droppin' balls like hot potatoes week in week out....Sanchez ups and ride out...starting for Valenica now....though I think it's because Renan- (their Brazilian first choice, is hurt)
Goalkeeping is a funny position. Big sides like to have 2 or 3 first tier keepers in the line up, and goalkeeping seems to be a kinda stability position, where the man in the sticks would have to be injured or dripped dry of confidence for another man to take his spot....probably why yuh doh see seemingly big keepers just riding out in search of playing time at smaller clubs.
On another note, is Brazil emerging as a goalkeeping factory?
I was tryin to hold back, but i couldnt resist....Cudicini plays for Spurs now :beermug: ;D
Toldo is about 37-38 now. He was first choice keeper until about 35. De man is old. He probably doesnt want a job where he's playing every week.
Yup good catch...forgot....or should I say totally didn't think about it when I was posting.
Point still remains though right? :beermug:
I'm surprised Toldo is still at Inter. Once a solid Italy #2 behind Buffon and an experienced international in his own right, I remember he used to be mentioned among the top keepers in the world. So, he gets injured and loses his place to JC and does what seems like the right thing..stays and fights for his place, even if he was a bit of a whiner about it.

"Yes, Manchester United are the best team in England but you have to ask how good has the Premier League been since I left?
"Manchester United have won it with ease since I have gone because no manager has put a team together that can rival them. But my teams always rival Manchester United and Sir Alex knows that.
"They are a great team but if I was at a top club in England I think the title race might have been a lot closer this year."
Mourinho also had some disparaging words for the teams trailing in United's wake. "Chelsea have had no stability, Arsenal are nowhere and Liverpool threatened but I don't think anybody really thought they were ever going to win it," he said. "I would not allow a team of mine to be so far behind. It is embarrassing in March.
"Manchester United have a great squad but are their players really that much better than Chelsea's or Liverpool's? I don't think so. So something else must be the problem and somebody has to take responsibility for that.
"I beat Manchester United with Chelsea and Porto. Now I am ready to beat them with Inter."
JDB, you might not like the man as a person but you cannot question his achievements. Truth of the matter is that you would be hard pressed to find another manager in the game who could walk into Old Trafford and promise a continuation of the success enjoyed under Ferguson.
the man does talk the talk, but he does walk the walk..
Obvious attempt by Mourinho to take attention away from the actual football game but I would be interested to hear what other United fans would think about Mourinho managing United at any time in the future.
I have a strong opposition to him because I don't like his football and find the "special one" routine very old.
I could replace Ferguson at Old Trafford, says Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has sought to spice up Internazionale's Champions League return leg against Manchester United on Wednesday by saying he could take over as manager at Old Trafford when Sir Alex Ferguson retires.
Mourinho's team head to Old Trafford this week looking to progress to the quarter-finals following a goalless first leg at San Siro a fortnight ago.
The Portuguese secured a memorable victory at Old Trafford at the same stage of the competition five years ago with Porto, but Inter will be underdogs this week.
The former Chelsea manager claimed he could be Ferguson's successor, but he also believes the race for the Premier League title would be tighter if he was still managing in England.
"If you want me to rule out ever being Manchester United manager I can't," he told the News of the World. "Special clubs need special managers so in theory it could work, but nobody knows what the future is in football.
"The England national team wanted me as coach and that is the biggest job in England, so I am sure when Sir Alex retires they will look at the best managers in the world and I certainly fall into the category."
United currently lead the Premier League by seven points from Mourinho's former club Chelsea and Liverpool and also have a game in hand to further strengthen their position, but Mourinho believes things would be different if he had not been sacked by Chelsea in September 2007. "Yes, Manchester United are the best team in England but you have to ask how good has the Premier League been since I left?
"Manchester United have won it with ease since I have gone because no manager has put a team together that can rival them. But my teams always rival Manchester United and Sir Alex knows that.
"They are a great team but if I was at a top club in England I think the title race might have been a lot closer this year."

this here echoes my sentiments..

Yuh hadda just laugh at/with Mourinho- he's a funny fella...and I think alot of what he says is intended to have a humorous aspect to it...I get the feeling that cockiness is more a part of his sense of humor than a part of his actual personality.
:applause: :applause:
In terms of success, he's done well but I'm not sure if the Man U faithful will appreciate the look of their team's football under Mourinho- JM's teams are not that exciting to watch. Inter is the best team in Italy but their football lacks personality...I'd watch a Milan game before an Inter game any day.....the same with Chelsea under Mourinho...They were really dull....Of course at the end of the day winning is better than losing, no matter the style but it's a shame to see a guy inherit a star studded roster and not bring out the potential character and personality in the brand of football they play...
Obvious attempt by Mourinho to take attention away from the actual football game but I would be interested to hear what other United fans would think about Mourinho managing United at any time in the future.According to special 1 tv Rooney is incredible/fantastic.... ;D

patrick vieira gone and undo all of Julio Cesar's good, hard work. Beautiful finish by vidic, but vieira supposed to know that vidic is a target in them situations and he hadda keep dat man in front of him no matter what. That turnaround move that led to the slip was a big mistake. Ibrahimovic starting to warm up but at some point Inter need to make use of all the chances they getting.

zlatan getting good service, wouldn't be surprised to see him score
Any score
All credit to Rooney on that second goal. He ketch de defense flat-footed with an unorthodox, off-balance cross. This one is over, too. :'(

zlatan mainly. doh know wat goin on wid he.
dat pic in your signature killin meh dred. i doh want to believe daiz he real name.
gameoverso you saw de dive at the 39sec :devil:
swan dive boy actually didn't con the ref this time.
Zlatan has proven at this point to be the Alex Rodriguez/Barry Bonds of football: can't come through in the big games.
poor poor game by Ibra and Figo - completely outhustled off the ball. Any of the chances Ibra buried would have changed the entire game.
No link up play between mids and forwards in the second half.
I starting to doubt myself whether Adriano and Balotelli play any part of this game in the second half.

Even if Balotelli may not have had a brilliant game, acb, I like the fire (and arrogance that they can't stop talking about when it comes to him) that he brings to the big games. Adriano's problems seem to be a combination of his lack of fitness, guts and hustle. If Jose is to do better next year and beyond in the CL,(if he even PLAN on staying that long) he need to offload all the aging players and Zlatan and Muntari. The two of them looked like Roma did against manu last year and you need players with a little lot more hustle than that to wint titles beyond the scudetto. Balotelli still young and have plenty room for improvement. he has a very good upswing.

They mightn't be able ot do that this year though becuase they have to mind that Villa and Arsenal don't blow past them.
