If the Real Madrid v Barcelona issue is to be debated in terms of the politics of yesteryear, at least we can argue this one with reference to today's politics.
Milan owe their position to the machinations of that lying crook, Silvio Berlusconi. Inter don't.
It's as simple as that.

In Milan and Italy AC Milan are just called Milan.

The city, of course, is Milano. The football team is Milan. They were a cricket club when they started.

Correct me if I am wrong Lord B but weren't Milan originally called Milan FC and were changed to AC Milan under the orders of Benito Mussolini?

They've had four official names:-
1899-1919 Milan Cricket and Football Club
1919-1938 Milan Football Club
1938-1946 Associazione Calcio Milano
1946-now Associazione Calcio Milan
It was indeed the Fascist government that insisted on the 1938 change.

I thought Lazio were fascists as well? Or is it Roma?
Lazio are, Roma aren't! They are left wing. I think you would be a Roma fan if you lived in Rome!

I was saying bloody fascists because the changed Milan's name from an Anglo version to an Italian version.
Really?
Not sure about that.To be honest i wouldn't know unless i lived there.

In 1927, the Fascist government tried to get the four major football teams in Rome (Roman, Alba-Audace, Fortitudoto and Lazio) to amalgamate into a single team (AS Roma). Lazio refused to fall into line.Oi

I'm not sure what the neo-fascist supporters that they have today make of that. But they are probably just turned on by the official name, SS Lazio.
I don't really know anything about the history of Lazio or Roma.I presume they are arch rivals as there seems to be alot of trouble between both sets of fans.I've never even been to Italy either.Would love too sample there culture.Naples has always appealed to me.Maybe one day.
