It’s been a while folks, I finally had the chance to visit the San Siro and here’s  a review of the Inter game w/Messina . San Siro by the way is the home ground of Inter Milan one of the top footie clubs in Italy.

 Getting to the stadium itself was a breezer, the trams are clearly numbered and if you had passed the local O/L’s  you can’t go wrong. If not all you had to do was find a Sri Lankan and ask and the lads are very helpful and are every where! YAY!!!

The staidum itself is something else, Inter were playin Messina which is the quivalent of Manu playing Watford. So  I expected a half empty or like big Steve w/the white teeth says half full. 

As the match started the Inter supporters started flooding in and boy it was some match to watch. The atmosphere was uneblievable, the chants were deafeening and I had to keep looking back to make sure the buggers seated on the ralingings didnt come crashin down. Every time Ibrahimovitch got the ball the crowd went crazy. 

 I have some pics, which I would upload later on..

 So here’s the lowdown on how the boys at Inter did:

 1. Figo - definetely past his sell by date, looked jaded and struggled to control the passes.

2. Ole boy Patric V from Pizza throwin fame - the ex gunners captain looked sharp and went for every ball. You cant help think Wenger sold him a tad too early.

3. Ibrahimovitch  - Always looked threatening and played some good through balls in. Scored a clean goal and was an ever present.

4. Last not least “MATERAZZI” - Who can forget ole Mat from head butt fame from the world cup. He maybe loathed in France but if his goal is anything to go by he is still a star at Inter. Man - he scored an awesome scissor kick or as we call it a bicycle kick!

 2-0 to Innter w/20 more minutes to go, it was always going to a be abad idea to stay till the last minute so had to jet.

Next to the Haj - now i seriously want to make it to Old Trafford before Fergie retires. if Inter with 45,000 was rocking I cant even imagin how the theater of dreams would be with 76,000 people!

Once I got out managed to pick some Inter memeorabilia for my bro and headed to the tram stop.  I was carrying two huge Inter flags w/the pole and all. Suddenly the dude next to me taps me on the shoulder and says something that sounded like”

 He “ Wahtfuck inter?”

 Me - thinking damn this is a Messina fan and I might get beans now, keepin quiet.

He” wahtfuck inetr? slightly annoyed at my silence.

Me - Damn, bad show…keeping still and quiet

He was agitated by now and I was thinking whether I should throw a punch back if attacked? for all you know the entire Tram was full of Messina boys…

He starts flippin…(I am bracin myself now)

He starts makin something that looked like a circle, flippin and asked again”whatfuk inter? By now the dude was clearly annoyed and I did mention again i dont speak Italain.

Seeing the racket at the back one bloke comes runnin towards and me and I thought ok this is it. He comes upto me and says in clear English “he just wants to know the score!!!!!!”

damn - he was flippin to ask whether it was 1 and making zero’s to ask whether nil! How was I supposed to know!!!

 Anyway relieved I tell the mafiaso it was 2-0 to Inter and all hell broke loose. The buggers were screamin there heads off and kissin each other ( I managed to escape this friendly ritual).

So you can say I had an eventful trip and back.

ciao!
