Quoting yourself...


...because some things are just so predictable.

That usually doesn't happen in pre-season friendlies.


Why? it was a friendly not CL quarter finals.


Yeah but it was a friendly.


That's what friendlies are for. what's the point of playing your best XI, get a draw or a light defeat and have Galliani come out and talk **** about how competitive we are? let's not fool ourselves.



I was pissed at the result too, but tell me it's not easier to take a defeat like this in a pre-season friendly than in a CL quarter final. I think playing against one of the world's top 3 strongest teams with our crappy, crippled team was a mistake in the first place and Gllainai is at fault before anyone else. he better do his own business which was supposed to be adding a few good players to the team (I'm not gonna say "champions" even though that's what he said). and his angry interview isn't going to help the team in any way, it'll only put extra pressure on them and Allegri. another mistake from Baldy.

Allegri got fired?

I said he got fired?

But we are NOT 5-1 worse, if you know what I mean.

That's what I couldn't figure out.

What were you saying?

“Mourinho made 9 changes? Have you seen Real’s bench? Kaka, Higuain, Xabi Alonso, Ramos, Albiol, Arbeloa. World champions."

Are you serious?

Allegri gets blamed for defeat. I post a quote from me that says "It will all be your fault" and you don't get the link? I'm assuming you're trolling.

And whose fault is it that we instead have a bunch of mediocre players on the bench? Maybe he should start blaming Berlusconi for a change, but we all know that ain't never gonna happen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

A friendly, in Italy I can understand.

This is a 60,000 packed stadium in NEW YORK. Definitely having US media coverage, lots of money but some place the football market has not been able to break.

And Real Madrid vs. AC Milan is never 'just a light' training match. That's why you face Olympia and all those other clubs, so Allegri can try out all the various tactics they want.

This is mostly to sell high-level European competition to the US audience and losing 5-1 does not do that.

I think we are worse off than Madrid, absolutely.

But we are NOT 5-1 worse, if you know what I mean.

Why should he blame Berlusconi? Galliani is the one who takes care over the wages, and the transfers. If he didn't give so many players such huge and long contracts that don't reflect their quality, he has only himself to blame that now he has little to spend.

Really disgust by Galliani's quote. I really do not get that guy. Allegri did right subbing players in.

But we are NOT 5-1 worse, if you know what I mean.

We could have lost by a wayyy bigger margin on that night.

I don't think Galliani would have been pissed about a 2-1 or a 3-1 defeat. 5-1 was a mite too much.
