We stayed in Milan prior to the Juventus game last season and had a look around the San Siro.Inter please, would love to go back to Milan and San Siro would be a new ground for me!
Me and the lad have got our eye on the Milan Derby the Sunday before that round of fixtures, so will definitely make a little trip of it.We stayed in Milan prior to the Juventus game last season and had a look around the San Siro.
Obviously it's a lovely city, but the ground is a dump, with blue graffiti behind one end and red graffiti behind the other.
I saw Juventus win Serie A at the San Siro in 2005 (the Sunday before Robbie Fowler''s missed penalty v Boro) and I don't think anything has changed
You probably have seen this article, or are aware of the plans for the San Siro, but if not I think you will like reading this. A new stadium is to be built next to the San Siro before the San Siro is demolished https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cglg1rge8j8o.Me and the lad have got out eye on the Milan Derby the Sunday before that round of fixtures, so will definitely make a little trip of it.
I walked around the San Siro about 15 years ago, never actually went inside. You're right about it being a dump though, plus very brutal architecture!
That's an interesting read about the gradual decline of Italian football all together. Could be very similar to what the future of the premier league looks like.You probably have seen this article, or are aware of the plans for the San Siro, but if not I think you will like reading this.

We are probably going to end up playing either Bodo, Madrid or Inter 3 times in the CL.Draw starts 11.15am - Madrid v City confirmed by 11.20am. Both sides absolutely sick of each other but here we are again.

I think Champ League will want Madrid to avoid City, especially with Madrid at home in first match.We are probably going to end up playing either Bodo, Madrid or Inter 3 times in the CL.
Inter would be twice - we haven’t met them yet this season.We are probably going to end up playing either Bodo, Madrid or Inter 3 times in the CL.
Correct up to a point - we can only potentially meet Arsenal in the QF if we’re in the same half of the draw. After this Friday’s draw the ‘bracket’ is in place for the rest of the competition. It’s all part of the new format - incentivise teams to win games after they’ve already ensured qualification so that they get a better seeding for the knockouts but of course nothing is guaranteed as Liverpool found out last season.So is there no draw for the later stages of the competition? Used to be a draw for each stage. Now it seems it's already mapped out?
So if we draw Real Madrid, for example, and win, and Arsenal draw Dortmund... we play Arsenal or Dortmund in the quarter finals?

Oh , I'm thinking if that boring 0 0 draw with them in the last CL.Inter would be twice - we haven’t met them yet this season.
There's no chance UEFA will allow Benfica to beat them after what they did in the first leg.I'd like Benfica, just because it's mean Madrid are out.
Other than that I'd fancy us over two legs against Bodo, or any of these for that matter. It'd be nice to put that defeat right though.
