True. It's like global warming; we knew it was coming but chose to finally get all concerned about it only when it actually happened.
Winning the CL last year only stalled the rebuilding process for a year (you know the age-old mantra in sports about not breaking up a championship team). Now that we're actually at risk of missing the CL next year, B&G will spend huge on big-name, out-of-form quick fixes (i.e. Dinho, Sheva) instead of getting to the heart of the problem. If that's to be believed, that bugs me more than our sluggishness during this stretch of the season. [/quote] took the words right outa my mouth. |

QUOTE (MizNelson @ Apr 14 2008, 08:28 AM) QUOTE (Tennie) It may come as a surprise to some, but I agree with Porty's comment. Milan has become too arrogant for its own good. This season will hopefully kick some humility into the team. True. It's like global warming; we knew it was coming but chose to finally get all concerned about it only when it actually happened.

And I see a lot of sense in that. On hindsight, it's easy to point fingers, as easy as it is to criticize. Let's just say Ronaldo had played in at least 80% of the games this season, and Kaka and Seedorf were at their best against the crunch games against Arsenal. And how about Kalac not showing his true colors too soon .. Plus lets consider Gilardino scoring 20+ goals. Now would you still be concluding that there is a problem !?

kalac saved on us on numerous occasion, including that same game game vs. arsenal.
it would be wrong to point the blame at him. This post has been edited by Habitant: Apr 15 2008, 11:08 PM |

On hindsight, it's easy to point fingers, as easy as it is to criticize. No breaking up was needed. But even the greatest car needs to be checked and refueled every now and then... anyway... this is all in the past now. Let's look into the future... |

Let's look into the future... I believe that to be the case, they had to assess the team before hand, and I agree that we lacked depth, which (to some extent) is why the team is struggling to close in on 4th. But oh well, I'm looking forward to the new season (with or without the CL), it will be a new season for Milan (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif) |

No. 5th place means we won't be in the CL next season no matter what the Viola accomplish in the UEFA Cup. The Everton and Liverpool case was a very different one. The FA told UEFA that they wanted their 4th team in (Everton) and not the CL winners (Liverpool) but UEFA (and the sponsors) wanted Liverpool no matter what ($$$) so... |
