I don't get it, why no Davids and no Gamarra. I understand about Kara, cause he's leaving, they surely deserve at least to be on the bench, hopefully it's flu or something (not in Gamarra's case I know)
:depress: Everytime I see the squad for each game, makes me sad that Gamarra is never there, specially cause I know what he's capable of.
About the match, I want to see Carini starting ahead of Fontana this time. hehe or maybe Bindi

10 years of FIFTommi ,Tommi, Tommi,my friend... 
Just because i expressed my view doesnt mean i hate Vieri on the contrary , i really love him and if he starts I would luv it if he scored...I am just saying that speed will be the main factor in beating them...nothing more ,nothing less.
I dont like defending myself because of a mere humble view...I am not nor will i ever attack a player that represents Inter but i do love Inter more than any single player...
If you read my posts u would notice i would talk about every player the same way,praise if their good and pin point a weakness if they arent...During the last couple of weeks u can see me saying that Adriano is getting selfish and should pass the ball when he receives it in the midfield instead of trying to dribble the three players around him..He should think that since there are 3 players around him two Inter players must be free and Pass..
Does that indicate i hate Adriano?!(or any other comment u might find on any player) or does it indicate i love this team and want to see it improve and become more effective in every department...
EVEN with MIHA (who for me sucked in the begining of the season) I would like to see him now because he can capitalize on free kicks and help us in corners...I just hope he does well defensively,that is his weakpoint and i STRESS IMHO..
FORZA INTER...Lets whip their arrogant assess. :star:

Tomorrow I have to avoid Tea, Coffee and anything that has caffeine. I wish i was smoking to light up few ones during and after the game. I'll remember to keep my heartbeat low. No fat food, fried stuff or spicy things, comfort food is the way to go. Also, no excitement or sadness from any other reasons. Which includes not watching movies, news, avoid calling family and friends.
Also no showers before the game, because I alway have to take one afterwards from the rain of sweat I always develop. Just sharing few tips on how to survive the derby!

Can someone please separate Cruz and Toldo? This is the second time these two get the flu at the same time. Last time they spread it to the whole team.
I don't know what these two are involved in, but it seems everytime one gets sick the other follows suit!

10 years of FIFlol Francesco would like to see Bindi take over
Anyway, I hope Martins plays. But i dont know, i hav this feeling we might see Adriano+Vieri. A pair i dont like.
But you guys should all know. Do not try to deny this.
Martins plays better with Vieri then he does with Adriano.
Cause when he plays with Adriano, his left in the middle while Adriano disappeares.
However as soon as Vieri is with him. Martins starts to run out wide, and you really start to notice him cause he starts to make much better runs and most importantly Vieri is waiting in the box, not like Adriano. When Adriano plays we have to use Martins as the tap in striker.
Vieri did it so well against Palermo when Martins played with him.
If we could just get Adriano in the middle and leave Martins as the free-flowing foward

Serie A Preview: Inter-Milan
2/26/2005 4:33:00 PM
The Derby della Madonnina hardly needs an introduction. These are always some of the biggest games of the Serie A seaason. Also the Derby n. 259 is a highly expected one, as both teams have strong motivations to win and will be feeling some heavy pressure out there.
BACKGROUND
As is widely known, Inter are still unbeaten in all competitions this season, quite a feat considering we are almost in March, but have drawn a staggering number of games. This has meant they have never really been in the Scudetto race since the season started, and one has the sense that when and if they do lose a game this season, their self-confidence will plummet and it might be hard to stand up again, since that unique unbeaten status is what has so far made their pretty mediocre season a bit special. A defeat in any competition, would no longer allow them to be referred as the only unbeaten team in Europe (after Arsenal and Juve’s defeats in midweek, they are now also the only team not to have lost in the Champions League, which they can still win unlike Serie A), and would make this simply just another season where they were unable to win the league, as that has been totally out of reach for a while now, and let’s face it, there are surely a few teams that are capable of beating Inter in Europe when we look at some performances in midweek’s games.
Milan are also having a pretty patchy season by their standards, despite the recent run of victories in Serie A and at Old Trafford. They have several points less than this time last year, and haven’t been playing to their potential with any continuity. In spite of this, Milan are a team capable of winning also without playing well, and have that luck associated with eventual champions that Inter, for example, always seem to lack. Against small teams, characteristically, they always struggle, but when they are mostly written off and are playing a big game against a big side, they usually manage to produce the goods. The Manchester game was a typical example of this. After a series of games narrowly won without playing well, they produced a splendid performance against the English, and did a good favour for the image of Italian football. While the Mancunians had some good chances to unblock the match in the first half, the late win for Milan was not undeserved.
Inter also made a good account of themselves at Oporto, but managed to come away with the umpteenth draw after a match they, typically enough, deserved do win. Inter’s problem is exactly the contrary of Milan’s, and is a lot more frustrating; they are consistently playing good, seemingly confident football, but are only sporadically getting the results they deserve. It’s usually the small things that end up breaking the party for Inter, particularly on dead-ball situations where they remain vulnerable. Against Udinese and Porto they disappointingly let the opposition come back at them where they could easily have gone home with the win had they only been more concentrated. This is a trait they seemed to have lost since after the Christmas holiday, but Inter remain seemingly unable to escape their endless list of flaws, no matter how much time goes by. An important change with respect to previous seasons, however, is that they are indeed playing with more personality and character now, and don’t follow extremely good performances up with extremely poor ones like they did in past seasons. Say what you will about Inter, but if going unbeaten for 40 games in a season isn’t a sign of consistency and strength, I don’t know what is.
TEAM NEWS
Inter
Second-choice goalkeeper Fontana has been unavailable for a while now with back problems, while Coco has a problem at his knee.
Milan
Inzaghi, Shevchenko, and Stam are injuries that could affect the team, while left-back Pancaro is suspended. There are also a number of players one yellow card away from suspension, but none of them will be pulling any punches in this match.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Sinisa Mihajlovic (Inter)
It’s uncertain whether he will be on the pitch, but I would advise Mancini to play him as he usually comes up big in these kinds of matches, like he recently did against Roma, scoring a brace with a pair of his legendary free-kicks. Also his experience and composure in big games would be very useful. Started the season with a very poor performance against Chievo and seemed destined to prove his critics right, but has strongly improved and earned an important place in Inter’s team, where he could yet play an important role in the future.
Hernan Crespo (Milan)
Proved he is easily Milan’s best alternative, or companion, for Shechenko. Also started the season poorly but once he started scoring, has rarely looked back. He’s scoring important goals aplenty, and would probably enjoy a goal against former side Inter, who let him go to Chelsea after an injury-tormented season, although he did score nine times in the Campions League in that one season spent at the Nerazzurri. A stylish, although sometimes invisible striker that rarely scores truly spectacular goals but frequently finds himself in the right place at the right time.
POSSIBLE STARTING XI’s
Inter (4-4-2) :
Toldo; J. Zanetti, Cordoba, Mihajlovic, Favalli; Veron, C.Zanetti, Cambiasso, Stankovic; Vieri, Adriano.
Milan (4-3-1-2):
Dida; Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Kaladze; Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kaká; Tomasson, Crespo.
PREDICTION
This is arguably a more important match for Milan, who won’t want to lose their first place only a week after finally catching Juve. Inter’s scudetto chances no longer depend on this match, and they will be playing for their pride and also to maintain their unbeatability. It won’t be easy, but if they do manage to get through this match too without a loss, they can start making serious plans to end the season without a single defeat in the league. However, it would be somewhat typical of Inter to end that unbeaten status against their number one rivals, and that terrible scenario for Inter is unfortunately something I can see happening on Sunday night, as Milan will be hugely motivated to stay on top with Juve, and very confident after the Old Trafford win.

10 years of FIFI included C. Zanetti instead of Emre because Emre is more of an attacking midfielder, and I don't think playing with only one defensive midfielder in Cambiasso is enough in taking on Milan.
As for the inclusion of Vieri instead of Martins, as everyone have said Adriano tends to stray to the flanks. Thus, I want Vieri to be there to stay in the centre to receive Adriano's crosses, if any.
Martins can be introduced in the second half, when the Milan defenders are all exhausted.

Need Emre for CZ and Oba and Bobo. especially Oba!!!!!
Ancelotti wish Adriano-Vieri. :fero: :fero: :fero:
If finally Adriano-Vieri should start? O.K I agree with Mancini. but I'm fear.... too late push Oba. example left 10~15m!!!!! :fero: :fero: :fero: :frustrat:
Oba is ultimate best weapon for us!!!!!!! not 10~15m player. especially against bbilan.
Certainly Oba will decide this match!! of course wish Adriano scoring. but frankly nothing believe Bobo. just hope create space for Adriano.
Adriano-Vieri? rather Adriano-Recoba.
