History/Storia
1908 :On 9 March 1908, a group of rebels form "Football Club Internazionale Milano". The name of the club derives from the wish of its founding members to accept foreign players as well as Italians, hence the name Internazionale. The club colours are gold, black and blue, a tradition which has been kept right up to the present day.

1910 :Inter win the Italian league for the first time. Inter win their second title in 1920.

1930 :The team wins its third Scudetto under the name of Ambrosiana Inter.

1938 :Inter win their fourth Scudetto, while the clubs first Coppa Italia success comes in 1939. Another league title arrives in 1940, while the name Ambrosiana is abandoned in October 1945, after which the club returns to its previous name Inter.

1947 :Giuseppe Meazza plays the last of his 408 official matches in an Inter shirt. The Inter striker, who attains legend status with his 287 goals for the club, dies in 1979, and a year later the San Siro stadium is named in his honour.

1953 :The Nerazzurri win their sixth Scudetto in 1953 and repeat the success a year later.

1963 :The "Great Inter" era begins. The club president is Angelo Moratti, the coach is Helenio Herrera and the line-up is unforgettable: Sarti, Burgnich, Facchetti, Bedin, Guarneri, Picchi, Jair, Mazzola, Milani (Domenghini), Suarez, and Corso. The Great Inter side win three Serie A titles (1964,1965,1966), two European Cups (1964 against Real Madrid and 1965 against Benfica) and two Intercontinental Cups (in 1964,1965 both against Independiente).

1971 :The Nerazzurri win their eleventh Scudetto under the guidance of coach Gianni Invernizzi.

1980 :Twelfth Serie A title won with Altobelli, Bergomi, Bordon, Marini and Oriali.

1989 :Inter win their thirteenth Scudetto in 1989, garnering a record 58 points from 34 matches (two points awarded for a win). Lothar Matthaeus becomes the first Inter player to be awarded the prestigious European Player of the Year award.

1991 :Inter defeat Roma 2-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Cup final. Inter defeat Salzburg in the final three years later to win their second UEFA Cup.

1998 :Ronaldo is the first Inter player to win the FIFA World Player award and the second to win the coveted Ballon d'Or. Inter beat Lazio 3-0 in Paris to lift their third UEFA Cup.

2006 :Inter beat Roma over two legs (1-1 at the Olimpico, 3-1 at the Giuseppe Meazza) to retain the Coppa Italia trophy. Two months later Inter are officially awarded their 14th Serie A title by the Italian Football Federation after a sports tribunal strips Juventus of the Scudetto in the wake of the match-fixing scandal. In the 2006/07 season curtain raiser in August, Inter come back from three goals down to beat Roma 4-3 in extra time to retain the Italian Super Cup.

2007 :Inter secure their 15th Serie A title with five games to spare, with 26 wins, 6 draws and just 1 defeat from 33 games. Robero Mancini becomes the third coach in Inter history to win back-to-back league titles after Alfredo Foni (1952/53 and 1953/54) and Helenio Herrera (1964/65 and 1965/66).

nice thread

[nerazzurri4life]

not too sure if Norton has released an AntiBerlusconi yet...

i guess the most imminent problem was handled first, thus the antijuve

[thelovepizza]

Wow. You put alot more effort in than I did.

Well done!

[Jorquera]

Nice thread nerrazurri.


What will be the likely starting line-up next season considering that Suazo is eligible to play?

[GocartMozart]

god, i forgot they have suazo. that's just scary. he dives like no other, but when he stays on his feet, he's just dangerous.

no idea what the starting lineup will be like...
i watched the first pre-season match and will be watching the others to get a feel for who mancini likes...

imo, the only people guaranteed to start are cesar (gk), maicon, matrix, vieira, zanetti, zlatan...

everybody else has to work their asses off...it'll be interesting to see how gets the call between suazo and adriano...

personally, an in-form adriano is way better than in-form suazo, but it remains to be seen 'if' adri will get back to top form..
to his credit, he has been training very hard and played well and scored in the first pre-season

remains to be seen..
