Arse just paid £72 million for Pepe (TBH, I've never heard of him).

Nice to see everyone else ruining football.

Villa sign another player, their 12th of the summer taking their spending past £120M.

Certainly the best named player. Marvelous Nakamba is the new guy

I wonder if Inter fans get pissed off like we used to when United were referred to as "Manchester".[/quote]
Probably not. Their name is Internazionale. Milan isn’t in their actual name. Inter Milan is so called probably because journalists couldn’t spell Internazionale![/quote]

Their name is Football Club Internazionale Milano. I just wondered as we seemed to take it to heart years ago. Both teams are from Milan. Both play in the same stadium.[/quote]

I doubt it mate. A little different in that as far as I know, Inter have always been known as Inter rather than the other knobs who are Milan despite them both playing in the San Siro & being from Milan?? It used to piss us off (me every time I was away), that the red shit were called Manchester abroad because in the main, no-one knew we existed. Remember the old song City, City, nobody knows your name? (to the tune of Rupert the bear - showing my age....) Don't hear this much from the red shit nowadays

[Mase]

We call them Inter and Milan. It would be good to know what Italians refer to the two clubs as.

Anyway, they've fallen away massively over the last few years. What happened to both of them?? They were top European clubs when I was growing up. Why are they so shite now?

[salford city]

Mostly about the lack of money in Serie A as opposed to the Premier? Back in the day, Seria A had all the world's finest going back to Maradona at Napoli & Platini at Juve etc & the commercial deals enabled the Italian clubs to spend big on transfers. In recent times, with the Premiership money deals & us & Chelsea being bank-rolled, the times have changed & now the Premiership is the place to be & the Italians cannot compete with that. Look at this summer & note that the Spanish have reacted to England having had all four finalists in last years' Euro competitions, Spain have just had an increased TV deal of about 20% but they are still way off the commercial deals that we have over here.

Never mind that though, just reading on the Beeb that red scouse are on for SEVEN trophies this season........
