Fans of AC Milan are hoping the club's possible new purchase Christian Maggio gets the number 5 shirt in order to remind Inter fans of May 5th 2002, the day they infamously lost the Scudetto on the final matchday.

At the moment you can't really say the Milan fans have much to brag about to their cross-town rivals Inter. Their European record may still be light years better than Inter's, but in the league the Nerazzurri have distanced the Rossoneri by more than 20 points for two consecutive seasons.

But now they seem to have a chance to play a nasty 'joke' on their rivals. Milan seem set to buy winger Christian Maggio from Sampdoria, and now the fans want to make sure he wears the number 5 shirt. They are allegedly even willing to sign petitions to make it happen.

Why, do you ask? Well, Maggio means May in Italian, and 5 May 2002 is a very famous date for followers of Italian football. Inter suffered one of their most dramatic defeats ever as they lost 4-2 to Lazio on the last matchday of the season and effectively handed the title to their bitter rivals Juventus. Had they won, Inter would have ended a thirteen year wait for their 14th Scudetto, which eventually came in 2006 after the Calciopoli scandal.

Sammarco and Maggio play in different positions so one transfer would not affect the other. I would really like to see Maggio here

This is BS. a) we won't sign Maggio (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) we have respect to Costacurta, and maybe we won't retire the 5 but we'll sure bring a decent defender to carry it and c) we're not like Inter when it comes to those things (Zamorano - 1+8)
