Quote: The Penguin "A result that helps neither side really. There's only 3 points between us.
Interesting stat i've just noticed - in 14 La Liga fixtures, Sporting Gijon have yet to draw. And they've conceded the most goals, at 32. Osasuna, despite their travails, have the best defensive record (in terms of goals conceded) in the entire bottom half.
For all of the fawning of Pep Guardiola's leaner, meaner Barcelona, its worth noting that Jose Mourinho's Inter have played a game more and conceded one goal less so far.'"
With regards to Gijon their positive approach is probably a good thing, they acknowledge that they may take the proverbial pasting every now and again yet if they have a win/draw/loss ratio from their 38 games of say 14/5/19 at the end of the season then they should stay up and finish around 13th. Bet West Brom wish they were in Spain, the approach of putting the ball down on the floor and passing should be applauded and is brave but with the teams in the Premiership around them playing kick and hoof/long throws (if you are Stoke) its difficult to get results against all the time.
Big test for Inter comes in Europe, Whilst Juve and Milan have been more competitive this season if Inter lose the title to them then that isnt a good sign. AC Milan recovered from a poor start to do solidily in recent weeks but in all honesty barring the win vs Inter i have still been a little dissapointed with Milan this season thus far. The Aguero to Inter rumours wont go away, Balotelli is supposedly a makeweight in the deal as Mourinho doesnt like his attitude.
