So Inter Milan has their foot in front of their Champion's League first leg match with Chelsea in the Round of 16 matches. Disappointing performance by Chelsea all round; however, they still managed to get that precious away goal.

The score at the end of the first leg:

Inter Milan 2 - 1 Chelsea

Inter Milan played at the San Siro, those bastards.

Looking forward to the ass kicking at the bridge - March 16th bitches. Mark that shit

watched the everton-sporting Lisbon game last night, everton got a using by a sporting team who trail benfica by 20 points, everton have beat the best 2 teams in England, in the last 2 weeks or so, this makes the rest of us Europeans think is the premiership as good as the hype, i personally don't think it is, i can't even be bothered to watch m.o.d. any more as it's very poor and this is supposed to be the edited highlights, i think glasgow rangers got a break not getting into the premiership.....

............and if they had, they would`ve been relegated after one season. So you`d be watching them playing in the Coca Cola Championship

I remember AC Milan drawing 2-2 with Pompey at Fratton Park last season, Pompey being a team that was in a relegation dogfight at the time, had basically been mid-table fodder for the rest of the Premiership before that and who'd only got into Europe on the back of a win over Cardiff City. Doesn't make me write off Serie A.

Match rigging has always traditionally been part of the Italian game, so AC Milan like any other Italian team would have hardly been in any real turmoil.

Face it goodfoot. The old firm would love to play in the premiership.
And it's still the PREMIER football league in Europe, second to non.
Best players, best average attendances, best stadiums and the most entertaining football.
For the last 5 years the Champions League final has been represented by an English club team.
Seems to me that despite looking through BLUE tinted glasses, you're actually GREEN with envy!
