Could be our Scudetto day if things go our way!! Couldn't wait to open this one. Hopefully we win and Inter stumble, not very likely considering they have Cesena, but it is an away game, which they usually struggle in

QUOTE (acid911 @ Apr 23 2011, 07:37 PM)  Keep on rocking, Hanny boy! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) The last few threads you opened have been sweet bliss (even if a little less visited during the match days). And yeah, agreed, this one could be the stamp on our title - this or the next one. Ooo, the excitement! Are you implying that I am the reason for the low reply level? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) As for this game, we'll have players missing, including Van Bommel, which imo is a HUGE loss, we've come to depend on him so much it's ridiculous. And personally, I love to see us play when he's there, there's just something about the swagger in which the players take the pitch, they're very confident and assured. Maybe Pippo will be back, which would be great considering we currently don't have any finishers, Cassano has shown us he's not an areal man (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) while Robinho was his usual self today but came through finally, I literally closed my eyes when I saw him clean through, certain that he would actually miss it. Hopeing for Nesta to be back, we really miss him as well, it's the same thing as with VB in the case of Nesta, when he's playing he gives the others confidence, especially Thiago, who doesn't have to spend the entire 90 worrying about what blunder the other CB will do next, allbait Yepes has been very good lately, he's still no Nesta, and today he made a couple of teeny weeny mistakes that stopped my heart a couple of times

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) I like to put the blame for most of the bad things happening around the world (including the downfall of the English grammear and correct use of language on the interweb) on you. Ever heard of the Maltese Falcon?: (IMG: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f9pvdIisA48/S2YO-TZXrMI/AAAAAAAAAvE/BIBZlj45jYE/s400/Bogart.Maltese.Falcon.jpg) QUOTE (han2503 @ Apr 24 2011, 12:42 AM)  As for this game, we'll have players missing, including Van Bommel, which imo is a HUGE loss, we've come to depend on him so much it's ridiculous.

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/king.gif) He is the experienced head in the midfield that somewhat makes up for the recent absences of Ambrosini and Gattuso. Definitely deserves a one-year extension. Having said that, I hope all our players make it back in time for the celebrations. That would be sweet. Speaking of which, will this Ronaldinho get the title added to his list accolades (provided we win) seeing as he played in the first few matches of the season? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Not quit sure how this thing works.

I don't know the record but in 93-94 Milan had 21 with a shockingly low 36 goals scored and 15 conceded.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Apr 24 2011, 05:52 PM)  Whoa, that was one balanced season. The winning team accumulated only 50 points in 34 games. Right now, in 34 games, we've accumulated 74 points. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think it's a testement to how strong teams were back then. Not really a compliment to the current situation in Serie A

QUOTE (amancik @ Apr 25 2011, 01:22 PM)  Pato has resumed training according to goal.com. He could be back for the next game. I'm confident we'll have him and Ibra back for Roma game. I wouldn't hold any weight to anything goal.com says. We'll see what happens, Ibra will definately be back for Roma which is a huge bonus, maybe Nesta could be back for the next game though

So supposedly chances for our Pippo to be back for this one. Oh..and Allegri has never won more that 4 games on the trot. The article is up on acmilan.com as well. This is our 5th 4-game winning streak. So don't be disappointed if we draw/lose. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And be very very happy if we win.

Plus I really don't see why we need Ambro and Flamini on against Bologna

There sure was time and space for that to do. Playing with a Robinho-Cassano attack twice in a row is frustrating. QUOTE Still don't understand how their performance levels dropped so much in the second half.

Milan just stood there like frozen. No motion at all. We were very lucky to get this 3 points, as we were against Brescia. We're in a zone, but it isn't all that good. I don't get why Allegri has to wait until the last possible drop of energy is gone to make his first change. I used to say it's small-club coach mentality, but hey, he's an intelligent man, he should have gotten rid of it by now. Doesn't he understand the concept of taking players out??

Couple of points.
I think Pirlo should be given the green light ahead of Seedorf come next game, Seedorf is once again looking tired, his problem is that he cannot handle a consistant stream of games at this point in his career. Pirlo just brough a sense of rejuniation to the midfield, while Boateng had been injured for a while and Allegri kept wating to make the change.
Beretta impressed. The kid has it in him imo, the finishing needs polishing but I didn't expect him to really score in such a high pressure situation anyways.
Abate as well started making a lot of passing mistakes by the end.
I think they let it get to their heads to much.
Ambro imo was one of our worst players, I mean is it that hard to intercept a pass, and pass? Keep the ball moving not try to do ridiculous sh!t with it. He lost the ball a lot of times when he should have played it simple, can't wait to have the Bommel back next week. We really missed him in midfield. Also another point. Ibra back next Sunday, we can finally have a real dtriker back on, neither Cassano nor Robinho can lead an attacking line. Cassano was completely iscolated up there and that is really not how his game thrives. Maybe Pato will be back as well.
Hopefully Boateng doesn't have anything serious.

Allegri imo has been damn near perfect these last few month, but today he's just p!ssed me off royally. We were barely hanging on, the players walking by that time, and still nothing from Allegri. He should have brought on Pirlo the moment Boateng and Seedorf start whaning so much! Same goes for Beretta, who really helped out with his physicality, something that Cassano and Robinho cannot provide because they're just not that type of players
