Sorry but your skewness report is just bollocks

You're basing it off the last 8 teams and put importance to it from the last 16 which is a direct reuslt of the primary 32 team stage...

You can try to pull that shit with numbers with others but not with me

Liverpool draw far harder than ours. Gotcha. As long as we get to face PSV in the semis provided that they beat Manchester City in the QF we're all good... no luck with us on that one


Once again, no one denies that it was a favorable condition to get to the final, but it was by no means lucky or anything. It's not like we had Serie B teams there...

Did I say FAR harder? No, I didnt. Just HARDER.

Also, your 2nd sentence doesnt even make any sense. What are you talking about the last 8 teams? It's the 16 teams in the R16, how many of them were one of the top 10 (by bookies odds) for winning the tournament. The stats are pretty fucking clear. If you think the last 5 seasons arent representative, find me the data and I'll do the 5 before as well. I dont know what will come out of that yet, and will share the honest results when I get it.

Thank the lord you were never a scientist, your inability to accept data is hilarious.

Never claimed this. Not sure on how it's relevance either.



This is a different subject to "we were lucky to make CL final because we only played against shit teams". Which is untrue.


Some people just fall for the marketing gimmicks in this sport and think whatever the anglo media has them to believe.

I don`t give a shit about marketing gimmicks and anglo media.
But not every path to the final is the same. And I gave 2 example to show the difference. The path in 2010 was more difficult that last year.
I don`t say we don`t deserve the final or we were finalist only by "luck". No, we deserved to play that final and I am proud of that final (and by the way, fuck Lukaku for that miss).

As @Nerazzurri00 well said: there is no team in the CL that coincidentally got to the knock out phase. They were there because they deserved it.
But the argument of @.h. is also valid.

 

[brehme1989]

Yep, I'm the one meddling with data despite not having an idea of how the CL draw works and talk about paths as if they were set in stone.

Tell me how you're connecting the last 16 with whom you're gonna play in the semi? You realize there's a draw after the last 8 teams remain, right?
So if the crappy, non-top10 bookie sides are flooding the last 8, it probably means that the bookies are off and those teams aren't as bad, no?

Now back to 2010. We played CSKA and the alternative (based on your flawed logic) was Sevilla. Yet we could have drawn Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United, Lyon, Arsenal or Bordeaux.
Which was considered the weakest team in that QF draw I wonder?

Funnily enough, I was referring to @.h. and I'm pretty confident he'd be disagreeing with your post if you hadn't put the last bit there.

No one remembers or should remember the paths to the final. Only ones who really remember the paths are the fans of the team. So we remember Inter's path, City fans remember their path in any given year and so on.

Inter playing in the final last season and almost winning against the so called best team of the world is simply a feat we should appreciate big time and not try to skew it to some fucking "easy route BS downplaying. It was a great achievement by itself, given what has happened in this club for the past 3 years.

But you understand how the timing of the draw is irrelevant right? It's the outcome of it. If you draw every round, and we still pull a bunch of the weaker sides, we still end up with it being lucky.

It's no different to flipping five heads in a row, or over five days flipping a coin first thing in the morning and getting head each time....

The point is the result of the draw, and last season we were largely sheltered from many of the harder opposition..

To be fair we all remember very well inters path in 2010 because it was a really tough path!

Well, apparently a few people here because it gets brought up even when it wasn't really the topic of conversation but hey. From my perspective it's a pointless discussion now, everyone has their views and it's almost a year old and arguing about that when we are where we are is just stupid. But some people can't let it go!

 

[brehme1989]

You're the only one that brings it up....

Which is why some of us have made it a mission to stop you from uttering it again. You said it one, five, ten, fifty times already. Enough!

It started from your comment:

with (IMHO - lets not get into an argument again about it now) a lucky run to the CL final



If you just didn't add that, it would be all fine. But you had to include it to try to emphasize the point how this season is so much different. And yes, while it is going differently now, I think that CL run made this whole season possible to begin with. Players have talked about it on few occasions how that CL run and the final and how well they managed to play there gave them so much confidence heading for this season. That CL run is part of this journey. It's part of us playing actually really well, hitting our form Inzaghi finding our game. The latter part of last season was good for us, we played well and we beat European opponents (and won games) in very tough pressure situations. It has been unheard from Inter because this team hasn't played such games ever (apart from Liverpool year before).

Now I'm into this topic aswell, but it is what it is.

I said it already earlier. Overall I am on your side in this "fight". But I also understand @.h. argument.

 

[.h.]

Don't think I ever said the CL final run wasn't an important part of our players being where they are now! A lot of shit happens in life due to luck, we only know who the kardasians are because OJ killed his wife..

Anyway tbh irrespective od comments on last year, this year is irrefutably class from Inzaghi. I really hope it follows through in the CL to at least an SF run. And Im not worried about hard draws, I think we can take them

 

[brehme1989]

If it were an argument, I'd leave it and respect it. There is some validity to that.

But it's a fixation and a point with a hidden agenda that I don't want to subscribe to, nor would want to see it lurk in as an infestation that others repeat.

I don't see any Liverpool fans claiming that their last CL finalist run was a fluke just because they somehow avoided all the big names till the final.

And it's crazy how the biggest derby in Europe is somehow insignificant, a team that was Italian champion that beat the team that had sealed the next one in extraordinary fashion, or the champions of Portugal + the team that won it that given season. As if the Portuguese league is England tier 2 level...

But somehow beating CSKA Moscow in the quarters of 2010 gets left behind. Not that I don't rate them, but someone else wouldn't but doesn't seem to fall into the "trap" of admitting he's wrong.

You can only beat who you play against.

We'll win Serie A this season because we beat many strong teams but also very bad teams like Salerno, Verona, Udine, Lecce etc.

Benfica were kind of a "dark horse" before we eliminated them, after that no one mentioned them as strong only because they're not a fancy name nowadays and most importantly, because we beat them quite easily. But they topped a group with Psg & Juventus and steamrolled Club Brugge in the first knockout stage. Porto are a team that any winner could face any year because they're always there. Milan eliminated a strong Napoli team that killed Serie A. And it's not like we particularly struggled against any of these teams except for Porto.

Not to forget the group where our two games vs Barcelona (the Spanish champions that year) were as equally intense and important as a knockout tie.

 

[varmin]

I don't think that we were lucky to reach the final, because we beat our opponents fair and square.
But, we were lucky with the draw indeed. We could have faced stronger clubs like City, Real, Bayern instead.

I've decided to go to the Udinese - Inter game instead of AC Milan - Inter game, because the derby will be on Fashion week and the tickets cost more than what I paid for Inter - Barcelona ffs

It will be cheaper for me to buy two tickets for Udinese than one ticket for the derby.

Hopefully Inzaghi doesn't let me down and plays Lautaro&Thuram from the start, don't want to watch Arnautović for 65 minutes.

It's possible, even probable we've won the Scudetto by the time Udinese-Inter kicks off.

Never thought I'd be rooting for Milan and Juve to score enough points for us to win the scudetto at Milan
