Serie A 2018/2019

The stupid part was him ever being a captain. But considering Inter had little going for them it made sense to give him everything even though he doesn't deserve it.

Icardi can take Wanda's dildo up his lazy ass, fed up with his antics. Dude scores but is zero in every other department. f*** him, f*** Wanda, f*** Nainngolan and f*** Spalletti who wanted him for Zaniolo! Inter is a mess, nothing new really.

Tell us how you really feel!!

I don't blame you

Mauro Icardi's future at Inter Milan has been cast in doubt after he refused to travel with the Serie A club on their trip to Rapid Vienna after being stripped of the club captaincy.

Icardi, who has in the past been linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United, had been involved in discussions over extending his contract with the Nerazzurri beyond 2021.
However, the Argentinian's future in Milan is now uncertain after Wednesday's events.
Just after lunchtime, Inter announced via Twitter that goalkeeper Samir Handanovic was replacing the 25-year-old as club captain. Shortly afterwards, the squad list for Thursday night's Europa League clash in Austria was announced, and Icardi's name did not feature.
Upon arrival in Austria, coach Luciano Spalletti explained that he had included Icardi in his squad, but the forward said he did not want to play.
"The decision to take the captain's armband off Icardi was difficult and painful because we know all about his value," Spalletti said at a news conference. "It is a very hard decision to take, but it is one that everybody within the club shared, and one which was taken exclusively for the good of Inter.

"Mauro was called up for Vienna, but he didn't want to come. After lunch, he informed the club that he didn't feel like coming with us. Obviously he was disappointed, but there are things going on which are disturbing him and the team."
The decision to scrap Icardi of the captaincy comes only days after his wife and agent Wanda Nara had caused irritation by complaining that her husband was not being given enough support by his teammates. He has not scored in the league since mid-December -- a run of eight games without finding the back of the net.
Spalletti also reacted angrily to Nara's latest remarks and he spoke with the club's new general manager Beppe Marotta -- who has already taken a heavy-handed approach by suspending Radja Nainggolan for turning up late for training last month -- on Tuesday to discuss the issue, which was starting to cause disturbances within the team.
"There are clearly things going on around Icardi which need to be sorted out," Spalletti said. "His reaction today is just further proof of that. These things embarrass the team that he was captain of.
"There will be time to clear things up in the coming days, but as far as I am concerned, this is all I have to say on Mauro."
Icardi is reported to have a €110-million release clause in his current contract, valid only for bids from clubs outside of Italy.
Negotiations over a new deal, which would amend or eradicate that clause, had been progressing since the summer, and the signs from both camps had been positive that a deal would be struck in due course.
Icardi joined Inter from Sampdoria for €13 million in 2013. Roberto Mancini made him club captain in 2015, but there were calls for him to be scrapped of the captaincy from the hardcore Curva Nord section of the club's fans after he wrote in his autobiography how he had been "acclaimed as a hero" in the dressing room for confronting angry Inter fans in 2015
His relationship with Inter's fans has been frosty ever since, despite his return of 122 goals in 210 games, and a poll on La Gazzetta dello Sport's website on Wednesday asking whether Inter had been right to scrap him of the captaincy saw almost 90 percent of over 15,000 votes backing the club's stance.
In his absence, his compatriot Lautaro Martinez -- who scored the winner in a 1-0 victory over Parma at the weekend, is expected to lead the line in Vienna.

Icardi stripped of Inter captaincy, not in squad

Has there ever been a player manipulated by his wife like Icardi?

@StevenF1919

Big game this weekend for you lot.

Anelka and his bros comes to mind. They were his agents and were keen on making him move every 6 months to get a nice paycheck every time.

@StevenF1919

Big game this weekend for you lot.

Piatek and Paqueta will lead us to victory.

 

[YNWA14]

I'd really like to see AC Milan come back to the top so hopefully they're on their way.

 

[StevenF1919]

Piatek. Incredible.

 

[StevenF1919]

I don't even know what to say anymore.

 

[Live in the Now]

If Milan ever wins a trophy with Gattuso those will be hilarious scenes.

 

[StevenF1919]

Piatek is unstoppable right now. The second coming of Shevchenko.

 

[Albatros]

Meanwhile in Serie C, Cuneo-Piacenza 20:0. The guests were playing with seven players (including the team's massage therapist) and had a teenager acting as a player-coach. Italian football in its current shape is such an utter joke.

Do you ever make a post that isn't about trashing Italy?

 

[Albatros]

I can't think of anything, no. I'm not categorically against Italian football though, it just doesn't deserve to be praised because of the shape it is in. It would be completely unthinkable in the English League One or the German 3. Liga that things like this would happen, in Italy not only is it existing reality but more importantly nothing is done to seriously improve anything.

 

[Power Man]

Bennacer is having a great season with Empoli

I guess I don't judge a country's football on the basis of one team in their third division.

 

[Albatros]

One team? First the whole season was postponed and so far 13 teams have been deducted points for mostly financial irregularities, a couple of them folded altogether mid-season, and some others couldn't play all their games because the federation couldn't make up their mind about their licenses. Also there has been a junior team participating from the beginning because several more clubs went bankrupt already before the season started. It's definitely enough of a mess to judge the country's football. There are at most two tiers of professional or semi-professional football in Italy that could be characterized as alive (even if also in life support).

[John Pedro]

Piatek!!

 

[gary69]

What a man. And now Kessie scores too.

 

[StevenF1919]

Is Piatek the most in form player in the world right now? He's unstoppable.

 

[Evilo]

Mbappe is red hot too.

 

[Cassano]

It's clearly Pogba RN imo.
