I support Man United and would just like to congratulate you on the acquisition of Vidic. I write this with tears in my eyes because he is my favorite player,but I am happy that he will be playing with my favorite player that has never played for United Zanetti hopefully you all treat him nicely thank you for having faith in him on and off the pitch.

The FIGC have confirmed, with an official article on their website, the two match ban inflicted to Ishak Belfodil due to the red card received on the 26.10.2013 during the match, Internazionale/Hellas Verona, following an appeal by the club.

The Algerian already missed the match versus Atalanta and now Mazzarri will have to make do without him even in the match against Udinese. On the same note, the appeal for the Verona player, Moras, has also been rejected.

As part of the renovation I am looking for a new moderator to take care of page designs and what not. I am also, with the help of someone, will start a live matchday chat specifically dedicated to /r/FCInter. Hope you guys will enjoy the changes.

Can't wait for this game. We can finally see how much better Mazzari's Inter has become over last season considering Juve is the team to beat. Just wanted to know what the others think about the upcoming game. Forza Inter!

I'm really eager to see our youth in midfield. Ricky, Coutinho and Guarin should be offering some much needed dynamism. Sneijder is still around and hopefully can play in his usual position instead of on the left wing(what the hell was Ranieri thinking?)

In attack, I'm slightly worried. Milito has shown us last season that he is still reliable. Palacio should offer some depth. From what I've seen from him in pre-season, he had a good understanding with Milito and could play as a second striker. Pazzini is worryingly losing his form and doesn't seem to be in Strama's plans. Longo looks good but he's young and going out on loan. So outside of Milito and Palacio, we might be screwed.

Defense really worries me. We've got Samuel and Silvestre, true, but the former is known to be injury prone. I think we're going to see mostly Silvestre and Ranocchia in defense and if Ranocchia doesn't start concentrating 100%, then we're in trouble. And I was really underwhelmed by Juan during the Olympics, he was really lost most of the time. God, I don't want to see Juan+Ranocchia in defense. I hope Ranocchia can improve this year. He's shown that he's solid defensively when he's got his concentration up. I just don't want to see as many lapses as last year.

Still, I expect us to do better this year.If we compare this year's midfield to last, there's a HUGE improvement.

I will be hosting a chatroom during Inter Milan's games! If you're interested please join; we would like to know how you feel during the game and share our ups and downs together!
