Is 2010/2011 the season Inter finally win nothing?

The dreaded 'zero tituli' comment that Mourinho coined may come back to bite us..

Ok so this evening AC Milan comfortably beat Napoli 3-0 at the San Siro and while on the one hand this means that Inter are now second in the table having surpassed the Neapolitans it is a bittersweet joy. Personally, a draw would have been the perfect result for an Inter fan whereas a Napoli win would also have been welcomed as I really cannot see them lasting all the way until the last matchday for the Scudetto race, as tonight proved.

I think that after today the 5 point gap between the two Milan giants has finally become insurpassable because it means that even if we were to beat Milan in the soon coming derby it would still leave us 2 points behind the Rossoneri; leaving our Scudetto challenge in the hands of other teams who I simply can't see dropping points to such an Ibrahimovic dependent side. 

This is the situation on the three fronts we are still fighting in..

 - Coppa Italia: The least important of the three trophies but a title nevertheless. Although I would not mind winning this again it is undeniable that a season with just a Coppa Italia win would be a disappointment. We are into the semi finals of this tournament having knocked out Napoli on penalties and face Roma over two legs while Milan will play Palermo in the other semi. This means that in no way do we have our hands on this cup yet and so even this is still not ours for the taking. 

 - Scudetto: As I have highlighted, we are 'only' 5 points behind our cousins but for me tonight proved that this season Milan have the efficiency and mental power to stay ahead of us. Although things may have been different had Leonardo been appointed earlier there are no regrets and I just hope that we can keep winning our games in order to be there should Milan drop any serious points, which I doubt. 

 - Champions League: The bleakest picture of all. After our undeserved loss at home to Bayern Munich we have a mountain to climb at the Allianz Arena in March. With players such as Milito and Cambiasso doubtful for the game and Pazzini cuptied we are not at full strength and I fear that the Germans are finally going to get their revenge for May 2010 on us.

Of course I would love to be proved wrong, but this is the current situation and, being a pessimistic fan, I do not think that there is much hope left for us in this eventful season...
