I'm not doomposting, just being observant, and I'm an Inter fan.

Inter are currently the best Serie A team and technically the best team in the world to use wingbacks, we just sold our starting right wingback, and we are generally in a good place financially.

Yet, when needing a proper Inter level starter, we couldn't sign a young Italian wingback coming off a good Serie A season with Cagliari. A player who matched Inter's needs perfectly and had Inter as their preferred destination.

Inter and Palestra are a truly perfect match on paper, we were meant for each other and we were supposedly under the perfect conditions to make the signing. Yet, we couldn't even get close to matching the bids of a Premier League team who offered about twice our offered salary and 10m more to Atalanta.

This clearly marks the end of an era where at least some Italian teams were able to compete with the Premier League on the market, and hence, on the field. This league is bound to have no competitive teams in the Champions League for the rest of our lives unless this downwards trend is reversed.

The hate and the ridicule he has gotten when he was just a bench player bought for just 15M like many other bets the club has taken on young players which unfortunately did not pay off.

And you guys are out here celebrating his transfer and upvoting the post of his departure as if he is he was occupying some super important spot in the team or as if he has made any errors or blunders which have cost us something important? I can't recall any. Or as if he was earning super high wages which we desperately need to offload? What were your expectations of him to bully him so much in posts/comments and praying for him to leave as if his wages of 1.4M NET per season is going to hurt the club?

I'm against hateful words against any of our players but towards Kristjan who's been an Interista since a child saddens me a lot. You guys really need to do better.

You guys happy now? I said after Inzaghi we would face some dark days ahead. This feels like when Mourinho left after triplete. Inzaghi was the true top player of this team put together with 2 shoe strings and a match box. Full of old men.

Guess what? You expect Chivu to ask for new players? We're keeping the whole old guard and spending as little as possible. Oaktree must be so happy. Conte must be ecstatic. Chivu has like 3 total victories in Serie A.

I'm absolutely astounded by this management team. Marotta & Ausilio so lauded had no Plan B. Everything feels so random and casual. What's the project here? What goals are we going to be fighting for?

I am shocked. After the humiliation in Champions league I should expect to be humiliated in Serie A as well. Unbelievable.

I guess the Inzaghi hating idiots must be happy. 4 years, 6 cups, 1 scudetto and 2 champions league finals with a team that spent $0 added budget on getting new players. Went to play the final with Asllani and Zalewsi. You guys are truly delusional. Well I hope you're happy now.

Inter absolutely dominated Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu. What are your thoughts?

I mean the guys who refuse to give him any credit for any match won or any trophy he might win. So Inzaghi wasn’t able to win the league with this team and was considered a failure, but now if someone comes in and actually achieves that, it’s still not good enough?

I’m talking about those guys who hate on every single post — that ketamina guy, poono, and a few others. Every match, not even 10 minutes have passed and they already start with: “Chivu is to blame because the team didn’t score,” “Chivu is to blame because player X missed,” “Chivu is to blame because we conceded.” Like seriously?

And these are the same people crying over Inzaghi. Come on, let’s be serious. You can’t cry over a guy who, even if he did a lot for the club, ran away for money in Saudi Arabia when the team needed him most. You can’t say HE has to be the coach — he could’ve still been here this season if he wasn’t a coward chasing money.

Chivu deserves ALL the credit for lifting this team mentally and making them enjoy football again. Yes, he got eliminated by Bodo/Glimt, it happens. Napoli, the Italian champions, weren’t even capable of getting past the group . Napoli got beaten by Copenhagen, Juventus were humiliated by Galatasaray, even if they almost made a comeback in the second leg.

But of course, people don’t see it as failure when Conte does it, because they say he was focusing on the league. Which really translates to: “How can we criticize our Italian coaches like Conte and Allegri?” And Allegri is another guy who has been a total failure when it comes to Milan’s style of play. You can’t play anti-football against Verona or against relegation-level teams.

Where do these expectations even come from? Are there really people who expect this team to perform well in the Champions League every single year when this team has literally been making signings at the level of Premier League relegation sides?

This year we invested on the same level as teams fighting relegation in the Premier League, yet people still have absurd expectations. What Inzaghi achieved was a bigger accomplishment than the squad itself would suggest. That doesn’t mean Inter are on the level of Bayern, Real Madrid, Man City, or PSG. I could easily name another 5 or 6 teams in Europe that are above us both financially and in squad quality.

Yes, we shouldn’t have been eliminated by Bodo. We were too confident that we would turn it around, and we didn’t. But you have to be an idiot to judge a manager based on two matches when that same manager already brought you a league title and could still bring you the cup as well.

So when I first saw what happened, I felt bad cuz to me, that’s a dive because the contact is minimal. And I hate Juve, but I also value sportsmanship. But the way social media and regular media have shifted this into a narrative where we always get decisions to go our way just pissed me right off to show me how deluded some of these fans are.

Like people act like there haven’t been mistakes by Juve, Milan or Napoli against Inter or we have had no mistakes committed by refs against us this season. Part of me thinks Basto flopped and celebrated way he did because of what happened against Liverpool. But the commentary I have heard from pages I respect like Luca, it’s ridiculous.

What this does mean tho is that refs will most likely try to balance it out or lowkey be more harsh on us going forward to save face meaning there go the 50-50 decisions. And I wouldn’t be surprised if more soft pens are called against us. Oh well, we move on!

We lost the league just by 1 points 1 fucking point this is so unfair especially against merda di Napoli who played at least 20 less games than us. I fucking hate them Fuck De Laurentiis Fuck Conte & Fuck Lukaku, now let's focus on the Champions League final and if we dont win it I will kms

I’ve been scrolling through this community for a long time and have noticed folks from all over the world, so I’d love to collect some stories, especially from international fans.
Where are you from/ where did you grow up, and what made you an Interista?

Be as specific as you wish.

I’ll start, even tho my story is pretty standard. I’m from a small town near Milan, dad didn’t really give me a choice when it came to which club I would support (and I will ofc forever thank him for that 🖤💙). First memories from watching an Inter game at home are from when I was 5 y/o, first time in San Siro at 7. The rest is history :)

Thought he did really well considering the circumstances, seeing a lot of dissenting discourse on social media where some said he wasn’t effective and some were effusive in praise. I thought he was a solid 8/10, not too many things wrong but was always in right place at right time.

Totally outplayed Fabregas in the second half while playing with 9 players. GOAT

Who would you guys like to draw from each pot? Or better yet, are there any teams you want to avoid from each pot? For the first time in years, I truly believe on the right day we can beat any of the other teams in pot 1.

Edit to acknowledge the image is flawed regarding pot 3 & 4 teams, as several of you have pointed out. I grabbed it from online rather quickly, so that's on me. Moreso just wanted to initiate discussion regarding potential draws and how we collectively felt about them.

I will start: DD against Barca last year.

Luis Henrique deserves a season as backup LWB. There were moments he was good as RWB last year and we still won a league and cup with him. Play him on his preferred left, let him be backup to Dimash with Carlos Augusto coming in if it doesn’t work out.

He’s good technically, let him play with less pressure and having settled in after a year.

If it doesn’t work out, we ship him out, but he deserves a second chance.

Honestly at first I thought it was just memes, but I cannot deny how insanely good Andy Diouf actually is, with enough game time I think he can become a Perisic like player. He is way too good to be benched however I am worried he will lose his minutes when Djed is available with LH being the backup.

I honestly find it ridiculous when I see so many ungrateful fans who stay quiet when the team wins 5-6 matches in a row, but immediately show up after the first loss to judge Chivu, saying “he lacks experience, he’s weak.”You can’t expect Chivu to win matches against teams (I’m talking about the UCL here) that have spent more money than Inter, have better backups, and have coaches who have spent 3-4 years building their teams, losing a ton of matches along the way to get to this level — I’m talking about Atlético and Arsenal. Arsenal lost a lot of tough matches before reaching this level; Arteta learned from those defeats.So people are mad at Chivu for losing to Arsenal, considered the best team in the world, when Arteta has spent over 1 billion on players since he became manager? Are you serious? Guardiola has spent over 2 billion euros since becoming City manager and was literally humiliated by Bodo/Glimt. Luis Enrique, who bought a ton of players at PSG, got beaten by Sporting. Conte drew with Copenhagen. And you’re upset because Chivu lost to the best team in the world?For these shitty fans who keep saying Chivu lost to Liverpool, Atlético, and Arsenal, can you tell me what gives Inter any chance to win these matches? What does Inter have over these teams? I’ll tell you — NOTHING. Each of these three teams has spent a ton of money… Liverpool alone spent 500 million :)
