The Mario Balotelli Show

Inter Milan is at it again. The Italian Champions took on pretenders Palermo today and pulled off one of the most exciting Serie A games anyone’s ever seen.

The game was surely the Balotelli show, as the young Italian forward grabbed the game and never let go of it until he was injured. Without Balotelli in the game, Inter suffered creatively but still managed to hold on for a 5-3 game.

It must be said though, that Palermo are a team on the up. They’re exciting, and with former Juventus forward Miccoli leading the line, they can be right up there at the end of the season. Inter on the other hand, needs to stop conceding goals and start repeating these performances in the Champions League. If Mourinho and Balotelli can find a way to work together, I think Inter will have a chance of adding the Champions League to their Serie A titles.

Young Gunners see off Liverpool

Arsenal's brilliant young gunners are at it again. This time seeing off a Liverpool team which included the always reliable Dirk Kuyt and Manchester United foe David Ngog. No one expected anything different from the Arsenal youngsters, with Fran Merida proving to be an acceptable replacement for Fabregas. But there's worry about Liverpool as their topsy turny year continues. One good thing out of this game is that Alberto Aquilani was able to step onto the field and show a glimpse of what he has. And Arsenal's young genius Samir Nasri made a welcomed return at the Emirates.
