Does anyone know how early the tickets usually go on sale, and where they best places to sit are? I'm there in April and Inter are playing Lazio, Atalanta, Juve and Roma at home. I will try to get to the last two at least but am worried they will sell out.

I'll use this quote at home as evidence that I'm not the only person delaying their honeymoon plans until the fixtures are released! Speaking of, does anyone know for sure when this will happen? I've come across two dates - either the 20th or 25th of this month.

Sign for us, collect a signing bonus, then join Bordeaux.

Has anyone been following Keita Balde at Monaco? His stats are impressive - 8 goals and 11 assists in 33 appearances - but I'm wondering if he is a guaranteed starter there? I know the club was keen on him last summer, would love to see him back.

Lazio face Fiorentina away directly after Roma - one of the most in form teams in Serie A at the moment. It wouldn't be crazy to think that the Aquile might only take one point from the next two game. If we can get two wins, it could potentially open up a four point gap.

GdS suggesting Atalanta are in a bit of an injury crisis for this weekend. Spinazzola, Ilicic and (maybe) Caldara are all injured, while Petagna is injured. These are important players for Atalanta, so hopefully it gives our players a boost to see them missing.

Well, Vecino was injured to the only Borja was the only option we had to replace Rafinha who was obviously exhausted. Regardless of how he played, he's almost a lock to take Brozovic's spot next week. I think Borja's best performances this season have come as an deep lying play maker, so...

Asamoah is also offers tactical flexibility in that he can play as a LB and LWB. We saw Spalletti use a back three regularly at Roma, and this is another player who could help accomodate that here. Combine that with his experience in both Serie A and CL, not to mention representing a big club...

Huge week for Inter. Either Lazio or Roma will drop points, and Napoli will bring it all against Milan. We cracked the Samp hoodoo, need to do the same against Atalanta.

Good timing for us. Assuming we win against Hellas and they lose to Juve, we have a great chance to end their season.

Or, given they've just shown a good performance, the players know what their capable of and he's challenging them to show it every week?

Impossible to know how this week will affect either team. Hopefully, it hammered home to these guys how lucky they are and what a huge opportunity to have ahead of them. Put some of the behind the scenes bull$hit aside, and go back to working your arse off to achieve your goals. Who knows how...

F*ing hell, this voluntary agreement is a killer. I wonder what the punishment is if we don't abide by it?

Couldn't agree more. After posting this I went back through transfermarkt.com and looked at the players we once had on our youth roster. With the exception of Bonucci, there aren't any world beaters in there. There are, however, plenty of squad players who could've done as well (or better)...

That is an accurate, and horrifying, point. Balotelli is probably the closest we get to an exception. Santon had his good year, but was then incredibly underwhelming. Beyond that, the last players I remember who got a reasonable run of games were Oba Martins or Giovanni Pasquale.
