We shouldn’t listen to what drug addicts and retards have to say, but this is a special case cause it’s Adriaaaaaaaaaaann Mutu. After he couldn’t join Roma last summer, now he yells at the side they don’t have any firepower except Francesco Totti.
“The strongest attacking departments? Milan, Inter and Fiorentina have the best and strongest,” Mutu told Il Corriere Dello Sport.
“Roma? I don’t think so, no. They have nothing up front apart from Totti.”
“We hope to have Totti always because he has something more than the others. The team needs to learn to play without him,” said Spalletti.
Italy started good their qualifying campaign with a 2-1 win against Cyprus. Antonio Di Natale scored the 2 goals for Italy, and Cyprus could only equalize once through Aloneftis.

Inter Milano won the game against Lazio Roma on Stadio Olimpico 2-0, in the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-final. In the first leg the score was 0-0. Inter now waits to see who they will meet in the final , AS Roma or Catania. Materazzi got a red card in the 83rd minute and will miss the final. This guy is a menace I tell you ! When he loses his temper, he won’t be shy to attack you suddenly. I bet he’s got more red cards than he scored goals in his career . Lazio is at the end of a horrible season, with 4th place in the Champions League group, 13th place in Seria A, and now with no chance of playing in an European cup next year after this defeat in the Italian cup. I sure am glad I ain’t a Lazio fan right now

The second defeat against Liverpool , 0-1 after 0-2 in the first leg,equivalent with the elimination from the UCL,helped Roberto Mancini take a decision : “The next 2 and a half months will be the last at Inter.In summer I will leave the team.I comunicated this to the players and president Massimo Moratti,and now it’s obvious that everyone should know“, declared the Italian coach at the end of the game against Liverpool.He added that the decision isn’t quite because of the loss from last night,but that it’s a decision he took longer ago.
