Oh, come on! Referees, luck, fluke goals?! We are a far better team than last year and we are just one point behind Inter! It's a great achievment actually. If you want shows every game, chose another team. If you've become a Milan fan because of Van Basten and Gullit - sorry, you'll never see a production like that again. Carlo's a defensive coach. He doesn't want to get our players more tired than they already are. Injuries, tired players, strange rotations and at some point, we have to use the Primavera. I also wish we could beat our opponents with two attackers and still be solid in defence and midfield, but obviously it doesn't happen at training. Nesta, Malidin, Ambro and Pirlo are some of our most important players and it seems Carlo didn't give a damn about our opponent's low class and made sure everything will be okay. And when you think about it, Chievo never had a real chance of scoring. At least one mission is completed. Pirlo is our best counterattack player and I don't recall any counterattacks yesterday. We tend to keep the ball until the opponent gets nervous and decides to go forward more often. Not very brave, but I sure do appreciate the fact that Carlo has strenghten the defence and even with alternative defensive formation, we still do well. As for Toro - they're quite dangerous at home although the Top 4 always beats them. It should be another 1:0. We'll play the X-mas tree again, but this time, it will be Pato. Kaka should rest, but Ancelotti is not aware of that fact. If Pirlo is ready, Seedorf will be benched while Zambro and Paolo should be ready to get Abbiati another clean sheet. I'm more than optimistic. It will be easier than Chievo, trust me. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Your hopes will be dashed then, whoarethepatriots. I just looked. Abate damaged a ligament in his ankle 3 or so weeks ago and isn't expected back until either the end of December or after the Christmas break. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

QUOTE (acid911 @ Nov 17 2008, 09:56 AM)  See you on 27 November 2008 versus Portsmouth! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Don't quote me on this though. Sad but true, hopefully he'll score against them and show the English what he can do. I hope Pirlo plays in that one, he'll give Sheva the kind of balls he thrives on QUOTE (kizo @ Nov 17 2008, 02:37 PM)  (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Sheva looks like the wide eyed kid he was when he first came to Milan

QUOTE (kizo @ Nov 17 2008, 05:37 AM)  Kaladze and Sheva. I saw this on Gazzetta.it...anyone want to take a crack at what it means? QUOTE (Gazzetta) I progetti cercano d'incoraggiare la cultura imprenditoriale. Un paio di esempi: una macchina per la produzione del mango da destinare al Mali, 300 ciclobus per i tassisti del Madagascar. I progetti di sviluppo abbracciano tutto il mondo: Brasile, Colombia, Namibia, Burkina Faso, Etiopia, Eritrea. Repubblica Democratica del Congo, Malati, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, Bosnia. Gli italiani Solo il Milan ha risposto all'appello delle Nazioni Unite: Dida sarà uno dei 50 giocatori che parteciperà all'evento. In tribuna, annunciata la presenza della signora Malika Galliani, di nazionalità marocchina. Erano stati invitati Del Piero, Nedved e cinque giocatori dell'Inter, ma sabato c'è Inter-Juventus e i calciatori hanno declinato l'invito. La Juve aveva dato il suo benestare: hanno deciso i giocatori. Morale: nessun italiano in campo e i nostri club, come spesso capita, non hanno fatto una bella figura. Ma alle Nazioni Unite erano preparati: "La solidarietà in Italia sta diventando un problema". Pensano anche questo, del nostro Paese.

Presumably it's talking about Dida participating in the Friends of Zidane v. Friends of Ronaldo charity game coming up. The article also notes that other players from Italian clubs - Del Piero and Nedved were the only ones mentioned by name - said no, the two named ones citing the upcoming Big Game v. the cugini.

QUOTE (han2503 @ Nov 17 2008, 10:27 PM)  Sheva looks like the wide eyed kid he was when he first came to Milan Funny, he looks more like a red-eyed kid to me. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I'm all for quality digital cameras with automatic red-eye corrections built in! That said, he looks like the old Sheva to me too. QUOTE (MizNelson @ Nov 18 2008, 02:12 AM)  Thanks. Looks like it was played today, as there was commentary about it on R&B. I think it was Ronaldo's first match since shredding his knee nearly nine months ago. Marta took part in this match as well; I'd have loved to have seen that. Why did I miss that? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Why, oh why! This always happens when Ari is not around to pick up on news like this! Any idea how it went? I hope Mr. Overrated was on the losing side. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Yeah, don't ask. I know.

The match was on flippin' FSC at 10 this morning. Had I known in advance...well, you get the idea. Fiddlesticks. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Sorry to dash your hopes, but "Mr. Overrated's" team topped Zidane FC 6-5. As far as I know, Dida and Seedorf were the only Milan players who showed up. (Inert and Juve pooh-poohed the event altogether because of their upcoming match.) Marta also took part in the match, which was awesome.
