Paolo Maldini - Quality & Integrity
Do you think Maldini can be compared to the best ever players to play the sport on the basis of His consistency? (24 years as a starter in one of the biggest teams in Europe)
Yes, He's up there [ 31 ] ** [96.88%]
I understand why some people would say that but I don't agree [ 0 ] ** [0.00%]
No way [ 1 ] ** [3.12%]
The Ultras that booed Maldini at the last game claim that He prolonged His retirement at the expense of the team. Do you think that's true?
No. We'd be in a much worse situation if it was not for His help [ 24 ] ** [75.00%]
Ancelotti was forced to play Him because of His status when others could have done better [ 8 ] ** [25.00%]
What should happen to the ultras who booed Maldini?
They should be killed with hammers [ 6 ] ** [21.43%]
They should be killed with bazookas [ 8 ] ** [28.57%]
They should be killed with sliding tackles [ 14 ] ** [50.00%]

I was wondering about your thoughts on these two issues.

Maldini bless you!

This is without doubt the stupidest most one-sided poll you've come up with. You just want to feel smug about all the tributes that will pour into Paolo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Both questions are no-brainers....

Fishdoll wishes there could be an option for 'what should happen to the ultras who booed Maldini'.

I honestly feel that some fans will have something to say about these two questions. I especially care about the answers to the second one.

Interesting that "he" and "his" were capitalized in the second part of the poll.

For me Paolo may just be the most perfect footballer of all time. Gracious, dignified, a model pro - and arguably the best defender the game has ever seen.

However, he u-turned on retirement not once but twice before he finally hung up his boots, and his final 2 or 3 seasons were below what we previously saw from him - quite a few mistakes crept in, and the legs had gone, as well as injuries punctuating him.

I have a lot of respect for him, but I do feel he was morally wrong to remain in the side while guys like Silva and other youngsters had to wait their turn. tbh, his 2 u-turns angered me a little - he didn't need to stay on.

That said, I hate all Ultras - I think they're hooligans who use football as a vehicle to peddle hate and violence. And I equally hate booing anyone in your own team, whoever you are and whoever you support.

silva wasn't elligible to play last season and i honestly doubt carlo would have started a youngster over kaladzhe, favalli

Which ones? Because I do agree with you that his last 2 seasons were not neccassary and that he should have left on a high after the CL win, but the other were you said that the youngsters should have been given the chance while he still stayed on for those 2 seasons to me is irrelevant, Carlo would have never given any youngster the chance, like il_diavolo said he would have started Favalli or Kaladze in his place. And I would rather have a limping Paolo over either of them

where did you get this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) if he wants to be half as great as Il Capitano is, the first step he should take is play for Milan..

click here, Its Swedish and I don't know if it still there, and Ramos has played for Real his whole carraer and then theres the contract so if he leaves, it would be hard and Real is very good so changing to Milan when we just got Leo, would be tough. But it ture , why not go to Milan?
