A mere two points separate the two teams as they both desperately seek three points in order to remain in.
Liverpool face a battle with Inter Milan to clinch the signing of Barcelona defender Martin Montoya. The Merseyside club is looking to strengthen their squad during the summer and manager Brendan Rodgers is reported to be a big admirer of the 22-year-old. With Jamie Carragher announcing his retirement from the game, Rodgers is keen to bolster his defence and add some quality players to the squad as they look to close the gap on the top four.

If you had the misfortune of sitting through some ear-perforating performances on Saturday night,
courtesy of the Eurovision Song Contest, you may want to give this late contender a miss. What do
you give a man who has won everything in the club game? A crack at singing stardom on Indonesia
Idol, that's what.
Indonesians love their Italian football, so it's no surprise that Inter Milan are in the capital
of Jakarta for a promotional visit. Even Javier Zanetti was a little overwhelmed nice one, guys! /

Inter Milan stalwart Javier Zanetti is infamously defensive of his beloved side-parting. But
precisely how defensive he is of it is very neatly demonstrated by this collection of his Panini
stickers through the years. That hairdo has stood the test of time. A similar Panini compilation
has been done for Juventus star Alessandro Del Piero.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has advised his former employees Inter Milan against hiring
sacked Chelsea coach Andre Villa-Boas. Mourinho who still maintains a strong relationship with
Inter President Massimo Moratti is reported to have warned the Inter chief against signing his
former assistant.
It comes as no surprise that AVB is being linked with the Inter Milan post in the summer after
Claudio Ranieri was sacked this week. In fact, AVB is the bookies favourite or should I say "was"
until apparently Massimo Moratti spoke with Jose Mourinho for advice on AVB. It seems as though
Jose has advised Moratti that he isn't the right man for Inter.
When the Champions League draw of sixteen took place nearly three months ago, Inter were deemed to
have the easiest match-up of the three remaining Italian teams. Napoli drew Chelsea, Milan had
Arsenal, and Inter were facing Marseille. Both Napoli and Milan finished second in their group and
the showdown between the two remaining powerhouse Premier League teams left everyone salivating.
In today's age, you could be mistaken for thinking that's Inter's latest signing. It's actually
the now infamous 9 year old who help up a sign at the San Siro this weekend which read "Could
you win, please? Otherwise they make fun of me at school! Thank you. Filippo."
The Disney adaptation will turn out a heroic come from behind victory with appropriate
orchestral accompaniment, but they lost 3-0 their 5th loss in 6 (hence the sign).
So there were some very interesting results around Europe this weekend with the major stories
making the headlines being Inter's 4-0 loss to Roma in the Serie A and Chelsea's surprising 3-3
draw at home with United.
Coming off the back of 3 poor results, Inter desperately needed a win to ensure they broke
into the top 4 spot.
Eight days ago, Inter were flying high off an extraordinary run of seven straight league wins,
including victories against city rivals Milan and fourth place Lazio. The club had a midweek
fixture in the Coppa Italia against Napoli, only to lose in controversial fashion once again to the
Partenopei.
Seven days ago, Inter were flying high off an extraordinary run of seven straight league wins,
including victories against city rivals Milan and fourth place Lazio. The club had a midweek
fixture in the Coppa Italia against Napoli, only to lose in controversial fashion once again to the

As the smoke cleared Monday morning in the city of Milan, there was no question who won the latest
edition of the Derby della Madonnina the night before. The sun shone a bit brighter and
everything tasted a bit sweeter for those wearing the Nerazzurri colours. In a hard fought battle
over 90 minutes, the warriors wearing the black and blue of Milan were victorious.
Inter Milan took a toothless Fiorentina side apart on Saturday night to claim three valuable points
that see them move up to 11th in Serie A. Missing the likes of Javier Zanetti, Dejan Stankovic,
Diego Forlan and Wesley Sneijder through injury and suspension, Claudio Ranieri had to shuffle his
pack. Maicon, Yuto Nagatomo and Lucio came into the backline while Philippe Coutinho replaced
Ricky.
Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti is relishing the prospect of linking up with Argentine
compatriot Carlos Tevez in January as speculation rises over the future of the unsettled Manchester
City forward.
Tevez enjoyed a remarkable run at Eastlands, leading City to FA Cup glory in a season where many
considered him to be the club's best player.
Manchester City are pretending that the Carlos Tevez fiasco in Munich has come and gone well
behind them but even if they have nothing to do with the player, the Citizens can consolidate their
own future with a massive trade involving the Argentine in January.
As many will remember two months ago in August, when Tevez was seriously looking for a move away
from the Eastlands, Inter Milan were one of the only teams willing to consider his massive weekly
wages in excess of £250,000.
Inter versus Napoli was supposed to be a beautiful night of football. It was supposed to showcase
two top sides in Serie A who had represented Italy proudly in Champions League midweek. It was
supposed to be a battle between two teams potentially challenging for the Scudetto. It was
supposed to be a beautiful night of football.
This is doing the rounds today and who are we to turn our nose up a viral, especially when it's this good. Here's Ryan 'Dorian Gray' Giggs as seen through 20 consecutive years of Merlin Premier League stickers...
At 39, Giggsy's not getting younger though it would appear that he's not actually getting any older either!
How do you define who is, and isn't, a great? A legend? Or is that the same thing (it isn't,
apparently)? Gary Neville isn't a great, we know this. Is he a Manchester United great? Â No or at
least I don't think he is.
Instead, he was just a good player, the no-frills type, but unlike the airlines the term is
connoted with, Neville was reliable and consistent; a so-called 'team player' who is correctly
renowned today as the English right-back of his generation.
Ryan Giggs has been around for a long time. A long, long time. Stick around for as long as the Welsh wizard and you're able to track your ageing process through the medium of football stickers. That's just what's been done here as all 20 Merlin Premier League stickers of Ryan Giggs have been brought [.
With reports emerging about an agreement between Milan and Manchester City outcast Carlos Tevez,
there are many who believe the Argentina striker will be a big addition to the star studded
Rossoneri squad. However, the Citizens have yet to negotiate with Milan and there is no guarantee
the transfer will go through during the January window.
Deadlines for previewing the final rounds of the 2011 Torneo Apertura have severely hampered my
style this week, so without further ado here's a quick catch-up in the main leagues covered by
Argentines Abroad. In England's Premier League, Sergio Agüero ... Continue reading →
The weekend just gone saw as many crucial contributions from Argentines as ever in the world's
biggest leagues, and a welcome return to form for the usual suspects in the Mexican league after
last week's no-show. With the usual contributions ... Continue reading →
Things are getting so bad for out-of-form Italian giants Internazionale that they have taken to
sending their star players on individual PR missions to try to give their disgruntled fans a
boost.
The great Javier Zanetti was called into some off-the-field action after nine-year-old fan
Filippo (we don't get a second name) was pictured at the San Siro (during Inter's game with Bologna
on Friday) holding up a banner which said "Could you win, please?
Carles Puyol: hewn from the sturdiest Catalan oak, hair like a cascade of spun dynamite fuse,
furiously dedicated, insanely committed, Barcelona to the very core and 34 years young

Ryan Giggs has today been named the winner of the Golden Boot award, which is recognition given
to players over the age of 29 who are selected by journalists from all over the world and voted for
by fans.
The other nominations for the 2011 award were Gianluigi Buffon, Iker Casillas, Didier Drogba,
Samuel Eto'o, Carles Puyol, Raul, Xavi and Javier Zanetti.

27.05.2012 - En tiempos de receso futbolÃstico puede pasar cualquier cosa (o cualquier cosa
puede llegar a los medios): de gira por Asia los muchachos del Inter van descontracturados (?) y
uno de ellos, nuestro Javier Zanetti, aceptó pasar por el reality "Indonesian Idol" para
cantar (prácticamente a capella) Piú bella cosa (de Eros Ramazzotti).
Filippo, a 9-year-old Inter fan, was tired of his favorite club losing, so when he attended
Saturday's match against Bologna, he brought a sign with a polite personal appeal written on it.
"Can you win? Otherwise I'll get teased at school. Thanks. Filippo," his sign read in Inter's black
and blue colors with an arrow pointing down to himself so they would know exactly who was
asking.
Football has well and truly restarted in earnest after the new year festivities now, and with Â
action in Spain, Portugal, Italy, England and Mexico to report on Argentines Abroad is back as is
HEGS for that matter! Happy new year, everyone. ... Continue reading →
