And this (he posted this on another forum though)
There is no denying that this season has ultimately been a failure. The
horrific injury to Ronaldo, the run of matches without winning at San
Siro, getting knocked out of Europe in March, and most importantly the
failure to capture that coveted fourth spot and thus missing out on the
CL next season all paint a gloomy picture define the 2007/08 campaign.
However there have been some memorable moments this year that I think
we should savor, despite everything.
UEFA Supercup a.k.a. the Pirlo ShowUnfortunately, this match was clouded by the tragic death of Sevilla
defender Antonio Puerta. However, the match went on as planned, and
both our tifosi and our players paid a fitting tribute to the man
As for the match itself, it provides a perfect example of the genius
that is Andrea Pirlo. He was carving up the defense with his brilliant
passes all game long, but the long ball to Jankulovski for the second
goal was just sublime
It was a fantastic display of football and class by our side.

Pippo's European RecordWhen it comes to the Champions League, no man does it better than Pippo
Inzaghi. On December 4, 2007 he made it official. A typical right
place, right time tap in against Celtic took him above Gerd Müller and
into football immortality, despite the accusations of 'no talent.'
Talentless he may be, but he knows how to score.

Pallone d'OroOur golden boy got rewarder for his magic in the road to Athens with
the ultimate prize for an individual player, the Golden Ball. Following
in the footsteps of Gianni Rivera, Marco van Basten, and George Weah,
Ricky is well on his way to becoming a rossonero legend.

FIFA Club World Cup, or Operation Revenge continuedFrom the screams of 'Andiamo a Tokyo' heard right out side of the
stadium in Athens, I could not stop thinking about Japan. After
Liverpool was taken care of, a unique opportunity for revenge presented
itself for the second time in a year, this time against our 2003
Intercontinental Cup opponents Boca Juniors. After getting past Urawa
in the Semifinals, which was no easy task, Kaka and company put on a
show in the final, and Il Capitano finally got a chance to lift the
trophy that he missed out on four years prior. Oh, and Pippo scored his
5th goal in three finals.

The Debut of PatoAfter the incredible amount of hype surrounding the 18 year old
Brazilian who looks like he should still be in school, we were all
excepting something special that night against Napoli. He promised a
goal, and he delivered. A fantastic first touch to get away from the
defender, and a calm finish under the goalie. With 9 goals in 17
appearances, he looks like the real deal.

The Debut of PaloschiAlthough not quite as hyped up as Pato, his goal was just as
incredible. With two goals in the Coppa Italia already, Alberto came on
as a substitute against Siena. At 18 years of age, in the 18th minute
of the second half, and after 18 seconds, he drilled a half-volley past
a helpless Manninger!

Pippo's Scoring RunAfter not scoring in Serie A for over a year, Pippo responded to the
critics by scoring a last-minute goal against Palermo, and then going
on an incredible scoring run to close out the season. 10 goals in the
last 7 matches, including a hat trick against Livorno and a crucial
goal in the derby. Superpippo has shown us that he still has is,
provided that he can stay healthy, that is. Which unfortunately is not
often, but this is a positive thread!

Derby della MadonninaWith the last derby victory coming in 2006, and the possibility that
Inter would win Lo Scudetto and celebrate in front of our faces, this
was a must-win. A fantastic performance on the field, with goals from
Pippo and Kaka, as well as the first derby choreography since the first
derby of 06, made for an all-around aweseome match. "Anche nell'anno
del centenario, sempre il solito scenario!"
