AC Milan v Inter Milan : Who is the bigger club ?

[Preki]

I prefer Inter myself but Milan are the bigger club I'd say.

When you have a craggy island priest forgetting the last rites and instead naming the Milan starting XI in the 1995 CL final, the answer is pretty obvious.

They are the same. Amazing eh?

Who's had the best players historically? Anyone set any amazing records? For instance, had Dean played for a club or two not far away (from us) they'd have pushed for his birthday to be a bank holiday.
Which makes me think, who's got most former players operating in the media? Who's been up to no good in terms of ownership or dodgy finance or dodgier refs etc...
Any specific instances of very bad fan behaviour?

I’d go with AC Milan although I prefer Inter. Always loved Inters home shirt. Got fond memories of some epic battles against Inter during the early-mid 90s (Villa fan)

This is a trick question.
The answer is Foggia

I think the Società Foggiana would be able to field a pretty scary 11

I loved their shirts as well but I really resent them for changing their logo to this simplified comic version.

Yeah all that is mad. Athletic Bilbao kit is based on Southampton's colours because it was something to do with sailors from Southampton introducing them to football or something. Can't remember exactly the reason but it's something like that. In Spain the coach I think still often gets called "Mister" which dates back to the times when a lot of the coaches were English.

In Germany they do weird things with the names of English clubs too. We're called FC Everton. Arsenal is called Arsenal London.

We also always call Manchester United ManU and City ManC. But then again English people often call Hertha BSC Hertha Berlin and I have watched Leverkusen games with English commentary talking about Bayern Leverkusen

On topic: prefer Inter myself from those two, but neither are a favourite of mine for Italy.

The AC Milan fanclub in Bulgaria is great however! Met them at a few 5-a-side fan club tournaments, always great matches against them too

What is your favorite in Italy?

 

[malacker94]

Everyone bastardize names or call places differently in their languages, for example Italians call Munich "Monaco di Baviera" (literally Monaco of Bavaria).
We in ex-Yugoslavia call Vienna "Beč" for example, French call Netherlands Pays-Bas, Germany got countless different names (Allemagne, Saxony, Njemačka, Deutschland etc...)

Anyway think Milan is bigger, simply cause European titles. What holds them back now is lack of sugar daddies (like Berlusconi was for them in the 90s). Also Italian economical situation, while North Italy is one of the richest places in whole world, South (everything below Rome) is very poor, its enormous economical and cultural divide North-South in Italy.

Its almost racist how Northerners look at Southerners there (especially Naples), divide is such that marriage between Northerner and Southerner could divide/destroy whole families.

i hope you beat up jon jones in july, stipe

Nothing to do with Bayern - Bavaria. Everything to do with Bayer the pharma giant whos3 employees founded the club in 04.

Hence correct title is Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Btw Borussia means Prussia in Latin - the old region comprising northern Germany and East into northland and some of Baltic states.

Neunkirchen and Fulda also use Borussia in their titles.

Exactly, all countries do weird things with other countries' team names

Borussia I guess is a bit like our use of Albion

There's also Tennis Borussia in Berlin. And other very nice names in that vein are Arminia Bielefeld and Alemannia Aachen. I always liked Tasmania Berlin as well There's also plenty of Viktorias (e.g. Viktoria Köln or Viktoria Hamburg) and Fortunas (e.g. Fortuna Köln or Fortuna Düsseldorf).

What is your favorite in Italy?

I liked Juve when they had basically a dream team around the Calciopoli and liked Roma, as I still do, but admittedly don't watch Serie A a lot anymore, really, and even then it was a passing interest all things considered.

A lot of excitement in there lately though, rise again of Napoli et al. Good to see more exciting football!

The answer is Foggia

The most corrupt/scam-filled place in Italy lol
