Internazionale

[Craig_H]

I knew they were miles clear in Serie A this season, but i only just noticed how awesome their record is.

Played 23 Won 20 Drawn 3 Lost 0

That's incredible. Surely they must be the most dominant side in europe, with regards to their own league.

Serious threat when it comes to the CL?

They have no competition in Serie A. Valencia will show how good Inter really is.

They won ther last 13 league games (or something like that) haven't they?

AC Milan not any good in your book then?

I think so, yes.

Not at the moment. Let's see how they do against Celtic

I agree it's not as strong as it once was, but 'no competition' is harsh.

Every top flght has a degree of competitiveness, and for someone to be this consistent is immense. The French top flight offers Lyon little or no competition either, but they cant boast a similar record.

IMO anyway.

TBH, it seems like Milan more or less gave up on the league from the outset, what with their points deduction. Their priority will be to qualify for the CL again, and they'll be happy with that. They're 5th at the moment and will end up in the top four without a problem, so all their 'eggs' are in the CL basket.

Next season, with Juve back up and Milan starting out level pegging will be more interesting.

But even with Juve and Milan's problems, to produce that kind of consistency is awesome, IMO. Especially when they've had the league wrapped up for a while now.

Have a look at Inter's CL Group matches

They won 3 drew 1 and lost 2. Hardly dominated. They scored 5 goals and conceeded 5. Sporting beat them

They'll batter Celtic. They care about the CL, less so Serie A this season.

Fair point. That's largely why i asked the question about the CL though, because sometimes you do get sides who deliver week in, week out in their own league, but struggle to take such form into europe, eg arsenal of a couple of years back.

They might win the tie, but I doubt they'll batter Celtic. I expect a draw in Glasgow this week

Well, relatively speaking, of course. Put it this way, Milan will be comfortable throughout the tie, and never in any danger. The gulf in class will tell, but Italian sides rarely go for the conventional 'battering' as it were

Utd actually lost to Celtic on agg. Won 3-2 at OT and lost 1-0 away. They are my dark horse to upset. They havent conceeded a goal at home in CL this season. They beat Benfica 3-0, Kobenhavn 1-0 and Man Utd 1-0.

Whereas Milan's form has been less spectacular. Losing to Lille at home and AEK away

[Craig_H]

Well we'll see.

IMO, Celtic have no chance whatsoever of going through.

Be mighty funny if i'm wrong.

How much you putting on the hoops then?
