QUOTE Ancelotti enters record booksSaturday 1 December, 2007Carlo Ancelotti believes Milan should have had a penalty as their draw with Juventus sets a new club record. “We struggled in the first half, but after the break Juve’s pressure dropped and we took control,†said the Rossoneri boss after tonight’s 0-0 at San Siro. This result set a new club record, as Milan had never before gone nine consecutive home games without a victory. “The statistics say we don’t score often enough at home. Today we had some good chances and have nothing to reproach ourselves for,†insisted Ancelotti. “We could have been a little luckier and there was a penalty incident on Alberto Gilardino.†Gila seemed to be tugged back by his shorts when stretching to get on the end of a dangerous Kaka cross, but the referee waved play on. “Juventus are a very compact side and they kept a lot of pressure on Andrea Pirlo. Ronaldo? We have time to get him back into shape.†Their form is causing concern ahead of the Club World Cup, which starts next week. “We are doing better than last season before the Christmas break, even if there are some players – especially in midfield – who must play continually. I think we have time to prepare for Japan.†Meanwhile, Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri has his own theory on Milan’s shortcomings at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. “I can see why they are having problems here, as the pitch is like soap. For a highly technical team like Milan, it is the worst kind of environment.†::channel4:: Congratulations Carlo!!! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There was no freaking penalty for God's sake, quit making excuses! Not even Juventus a couple of seasons back would have been given that... That last thing by Ranieri is simply stupid! And that dumb **** just gave one more excuse for Galliani to use... but I'm sure he already had that up his sleeve...

QUOTE (pacang @ Dec 2 2007, 02:46 PM) well, since Milan will be playing at Yokohama, i don't think it would be hard for the players to score.. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Why is that? QUOTE (pacang @ Dec 2 2007, 02:46 PM) from what i saw last night, i can say i won't live long enough to see a better goalkeeper than Gigi Buffon.. He didn't do anything extraordinary, every shot was aimed right at him... but you are right, you won't live long enough for that to happen! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Neither will I...

QUOTE (I_Rossoneri @ Dec 3 2007, 12:50 AM) Where are all the carlo fans? (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Yet another first for carlo the great, as if being the first Milan manager to concede 4 goals in a CL game and the first Milan manager to lose a three goal advantage in a CL final we now have this. Grazie carlo (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) While I'm not Carlo's biggest fan, that's not fair to him. It's not black and white. And for me, there isn't much difference between the two extreme sides: Over adoring him or to bash him every time. Both wrong extremeness. As much as your are digging records to support your claim, others can point his two CL wins and many other positive things and records he achieved with Milan, and the debate can last forever. The truth, like always, is somewhere in the middle. I'm very greatful for everything Carlo has done for Milan (both as player and as coach), but I feel it's time to move on for him and for Milan, and we need someone new (with new ideas, someone who can motivate the players more, etc...)

He has done well, but he also had one of the best squads available to him as well. I do appreciate what he has done for us but his time has been over for some time now.

The time for this squad has also been over... it's not only Carlo's fault that we're 13 points away from the top and we're only in December!

QUOTE (Porty @ Dec 4 2007, 04:53 PM) Pathetic. Always pathetic. Forums?! If you don't respect the people that have other opinions then you should do the same thing you did some months ago. And to think this guy was a mod... well, that wasn't his fault. It's sad....but I agree with Porty 100 % on this. This a plattform to discuss various topics concerning Milan. To do this everyone needs to respect each other (except for racist comments, etc.)....it's the essence of such a forum.

QUOTE (Nova @ Dec 4 2007, 05:00 PM) Well im not respecting anything anti-Milan. Nobody likes to lose , but when people start bashing & insulting the persons who actually made this Milan the team it is now ... Im sorry , I cannot respect that. What is wrong with you? You were once a person on this forum I really respected a lot. But this kinda ego trip you're doing now is, as Porty said, pathetic. And btw no one on this forum is anti-milan. Some people (including me) just think that mistakes have been made and the team, and possibly the management as well, should think of making some changes. That might even include some new persons in the management (or a new coach). Others on this forum don't think so....that's OK. I don't agree with R7 on many topics for example but I respect his opinion and he respects mine (at least I think that (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). People here have different opinions....otherwise we could close this forum cause I'd be boring. It's not like some on this forum deny the holocaust...it's "just" football.

Why are you all so itchy about me not respecting your views about sacking galliani or carlo ? For me to even think about Berlusconi selling his club or galliani leaving is blasphemy. Im not into this "its a free world and i can say whatever I want" attitude on a forum dedicated to Milan. Why not letting inter fans join this forum and let them laugh at us when we're losing , lets see if "the gang" is gonna say "oh ok , its your oppinion , i respect that" . Well im sorry to dissapoint you La_palma , but since I'm "alone" here , I too have the right say whatever I want. and I'm saying it again ; I'm not respecting anyones oppinion if its going to be bashing Milan or its management while we just f*cking won the CL. And since it only one person , chill out .

That isn't what's happening and I think we're all smart enough to realize it. I have no problem with some of the hypercritical comments posted by members here. Nor do I have problems with the very positive comments posted by members here. We're here for discussion and debate after all. If this forum were nothing more than 'rah rah Milan, everything is perfect' then it'd be a pretty dull place. It'd be just as boring if it were all 'ick ick, Milan sucks'. Kurt and I (for example) disagree pretty drastically on the skill level and talent of some members of the English national team. I don't have a problem with that and I don't think Kurt does either. Misha and I disagree on Chelsea's qualities. I don't mind that either. What I do have a problem with is attitudes that refuse to respect the opinions of others. And sadly I'm seeing more and more of it in recent weeks. It's saddening and honestly it doesn't need to happen. I think the forum rules say something about respecting the opinions of others. If people can't or refuse to do that, then I don't think they should post here.

We all support Milan and want only the best for our club. That's about it.

Im only talking about Milan and why I should respect if someone is bashing , insulting & even making fun of a Milan legend. I simply wont respect that , I'm sorry. And I think its better to stop talking about this , cause this is only going to get worse and eventually this topic is gonna get closed.

Everyone....
BASTA
Enough. Please stop.
If you feel the need to be nasty to one another, please do so in the privacy of pms or emails or whatever. Just don't do it in message threads.
If you can't at least attempt to be nice in public, my fish doll is going to take away your toys and send you to your rooms. With no beer.

I don't know why everyone is pmsing all over the place, but there is a thin line that seems to be crossed every time a minority opposes the majority over here! I agree with everyone, but on certain aspects ... Like the respect other's opinion and all of course I do, but it's getting old the Galliani bashing and the Silvio lost his ambition or the Carlo is not a good Serie A coach and yadda yadda yadda ... Blowing off some steam is one thing, but actually criticizing the actual people who have turned Milan into the pillar of European football is unheard off! And this is where I think nova has a point ... It's as if you just turned your back on Milan. I mean, u can call Kaka' cr@p or Seedorf slow or Kakha a sh1tty defender and on and on and on till you reach Ba who is clearly just here to collect his pension (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ... But criticizing Galliani for what he is "told" to say or Carlo for his tactical insight (which might I say is superior to me, you and nearly every other coach out there), or last season's Berlusconi should sell the club ... I mean, doesn't this get old ?? Cuz u do know that whatever you say isn't exactly constructive and wont add anything of merit to readers of this forum (at least IMO) .. as it is mostly what inter fans would say and laugh at ... I get why you are all disappointed and start pointing towards the figure heads of this club as the main reason for the club's position in the league today. But are they really that stupid ?! are they really in denial of the ability of this team ?! Sure maybe we don't have the bench of Chelsea or Inter ... And maybe we don't have the over exaggerating board of Madrid ... But there is something we do have (and one of the main reasons I fell in love with this team ...) culture, heritage, and prestige. Players everywhere dream about playing for AC Milan. Not because of it's league status today, but because of the aura of a winning team that surrounds Milanello and because of the number of trophies that fill Milan's trophy room and because of Gli Invincibli and because of all the good things that Milan has done over the years. All thanks to Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani. Sure you can call of the team this season in Serie A ... But I wouldn't be too hasty about what this team can accomplish (old or not), this team is ranked #1 in Europe for a reason! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) p.s. Don't take this personally (anyone), but this thin line that I'm talking about is becoming a norm for anyone and everyone to cross over. As a Milan fan, I back Milan for good or for worse, this is my team. I know no other team, and inter and Chelsea and United and Arsenal and Barca and Madrid all fall beneath Milan! Milan is superior in my view, even with a two DM midfield and even with players like Broochi and an injury-prone Ronaldo, this is my Milan. p.s.2 EVERY team we play against have nothing but respect for Milan. Isn't there a reason for that ?! Why don't they just say Milan is cr@p look at their domestic record and all (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (i.e. like Mancini or Cordoba (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) QUOTE (Tennie @ Dec 4 2007, 11:48 PM) (Should I be prepping the piranha tank then?)

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Dec 4 2007, 07:10 PM) Never. But I thought you might be lonely and figured you could use some company. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) PS - I don't have any problem with disagreement or constructive criticism of stuff related to Milan (for example: 'I don't think Gila should start this game because he's just gotten over an injury' or 'I think the summer market buys were horrible because we're suffering in X position'). I think we may all get a little over the top sometimes in bashing and also in overoptimistic adoration. There's a middle line between the two. What I really really have a problem with is when disagreements turn into personal attacks. That sort of thing has no place here. At all.

I'm going to respectfully disagree there, Kurt, at least in part.
I am thankful and grateful for everything Shevchenko did while he was at Milan. The way he left the club, however, was just not classy and not what Milan deserved. It was Not Cool. So to me, yeah, he's a great Milan player of the past, but right now? I do think he's a traitor for the way he left.
