Inter's remaining games are Lazio away, Chievo at home and Sienna away. Lazio are 16th and possibly don't have any inclination to help Roma. Chievo are 11th with nothing to play for. Sienna are next to bottom.

Inter should win the league, should be favourites for the CL and are also in the Italian Cup final. I reckon they'll probably go for the league and CL double and conceed the IC.

Chievo is the banana skin there, they have an excellent defence, especially away from home.

I managed to watch Milan against Palermo yesterday, Milan have been such a poorly run club, it's a shame to be honest, as their history deserves better. Whoever makes the decisions with regards to transfers should really be ashamed of themselves.

I like the look of that Pastore for Palermo, I doubt he'll go to the world cup but he's definitely one to watch, his arrival in Europe hasn't gathered too much press (outside of Italy), but he's definitely a top player and he won't be spending too much time at Palermo.

ITK info here...

No surprise who has won PFA Player of the Year.

The Young Player of the Year is slightly more surprising, but well deserved in my opinion.

I can't even remember who was in contention. 'Wazza' obviously has the player of the year, but the YPOTY will probably go to Milner or Fabregas, although I'm pretty sure someone said Rooney was in for that as well, which wouldn't make much sense if he won one but not the other.

He was in contention for both but only won one. I found it odd too.

Both had good seasons

Re: Season Ending Football Chat : Sun Apr 25, 2010 10:58 pm  

Surely 24 is knocking on a bit for YPOTY? What is the official cut off point?

Re: Season Ending Football Chat : Sun Apr 25, 2010 11:00 pm  

Ashley Cole, Lampard and Malouda will be very annoyed tonight I would think. Evra, Fletcher and Valencia in particular are strange inclusions considering the form that the three Chelsea players mentioned have shown.

Re: Season Ending Football Chat : Sun Apr 25, 2010 11:15 pm  

I'd hope that none of the Chelsea players give a toss over their failure in end of season popularity contests. They need to concentrate on making sure they have league champion and FA cup winning medals.

The boundaries are 24 and under before the start of the season, I think.

I think Fabregas has been better than Milner, easily, but he isn't English.
