Beat them cheeky zebras! 
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl May 5 2009, 02:14 PM
oddly enough i am not to confident about this one, nedved's brace last week was stunning and amauri is in his good form. Senderos should see the star as he can win some aerial balls from iaquinta/amauri. Also i will be the first to comment Senderos' Improvement throughout the second part of the season. i see a 2-2 draw
Posted by: Tennie May 5 2009, 02:17 PM
Poissonpoupee bonjour mtl! Long time no see!
FYI, Nedved and Mellberg are suspended for this one. Chiellini hasn't played the past few weeks with injury but should be back.
Posted by: Zed.D May 5 2009, 02:20 PM
It's true that we've been going through a good form and Juve have had only problems recently, but I don't expect an easy game at all... I predict a win but a hard fought one.

FYI, Nedved and Mellberg are suspended for this one. Chiellini hasn't played the past few weeks with injury but should be back.
ok so my, then revised prediction is, completely unbiased, objectively, Milan 9-0 Juve
Lol yeah i moved into a new place with some people and to my dismay internet/goalTv/Fox sportsnet wasn't on my roomies immediate need list, so it's been hard for me to watch game
Posted by: dst May 5 2009, 02:36 PM
That's what's going to be but I don't want to rule out us hammering them!
Posted by: Ry4n May 5 2009, 02:57 PM
Ciao Juve !
WE ARE COMMING TO GET YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
VENDETTA !!!!

FYI, Nedved and Mellberg are suspended for this one. Chiellini hasn't played the past few weeks with injury but should be back.
Thats good about Nedved and Mellberg , Nedved will be a big miss for them but on the other hand they Raneri will probably play Giovinco instead
, i like Chiellini good player love his match ups with Ibrahimovic 
My prediction for this one is 3 -1 Win
Goals from Inzaghi , Pato and Kaka'
Posted by: Zed.D May 5 2009, 03:25 PM
I'd love to, but we haven't shown such character since CL semi final against Man U.
Posted by: Tennie May 5 2009, 04:07 PM
Today's training has taken place.
The first half hour was technical warmups: running with the ball and exercies in pairs and groups of four. Then there were ball possession drills. Finally there was a practice game.
Luca Antonini has rejoined the group. Pippo trained in the gym and Kaka did running on the central pitch.
EDIT: The Gobbi had training too, though it was an hour later than scheduled because of a longer-than-expected meeting between players, coach, Secco and Blanc (meeting was supposed to be brief but went for well over an hour).
They did warmups, drills and a practice game.
Of their injured, Chiellini and Molinaro trained with the team; Tiago did everything up to the practice game; Legrottaglie didn't train (foot), Grygera didn't train (ankle), Sissoko started running a bit, and Marchisio, Brazzo and Knezevic all did some jogging and then trained in the gym. (gosh. they've got more hurt players than us).
Posted by: han2503 May 5 2009, 06:03 PM
Them missing Sissoko is probably our biggest advantage, he really kept Pirlo and Dinho shakled last time, to bad we're missing Rino too, but I'm glad to see Ambro finally stepping up again.
Posted by: Tennie May 5 2009, 06:09 PM
There's a story on milannews that Ranieri may bench both camoranesi and del piero for the game as punishment for the Big Halftime Fight last Sunday.
Think that one's more wishful thinking than anything. With Nedved suspended, Trezeguet totally out of favor and the defense in shaky form, I don't see both of those guys being benched. They've got to play with more symbols than just poor Gigi.
Posted by: elcordobez May 5 2009, 06:40 PM
But this time we have our trump card
KAKA!!!
Posted by: han2503 May 5 2009, 09:55 PM
KAKA!!!
We really did miss Kaka last time.
I'm hoping for a Pato, Pippo, Kaka attack
Pato and Kaka's pace and intelligence, Pippo's killer instinct...
Hopefully we'll pepper their goal with as many shots as we can so Pippo can have more opportunities to pounce. And Becks needs to really put on his crossing boots, he left them behind last Sunday
Posted by: Tennie May 6 2009, 01:30 AM
Here are Gazzetta's early projected lineups:
Dida
Zambrotta Maldini Favalli Jankulovski
Beckham Pirlo Ambrosini
Kakà Seedorf
Inzaghi
Buffon
Zebina Legrottaglie Chiellini Molinaro
Marchionni Zanetti Poulsen Giovinco
Amauri Iaquinta

Posted by: han2503 May 6 2009, 10:23 AM
No Seedorf is just better then him
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 6 2009, 12:03 PM
Dida pulled up in training today? His back again from what I heard.
Isn't this season just wonderful. 
We might see Kalac in goal.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 6 2009, 12:04 PM
Of course. If Seedorf ever pulled his shorts down for a webcam you'd know exactly what I mean.
Though I think you're making too big a deal out of Gazzetta's lineup. Jumping the gun ain't ya??
Posted by: Tennie May 6 2009, 12:12 PM
Where'd you see that, Jack? Nothing about it yet on acmilan.com.
Morning training was specific training (various groups doing different sorts of drills). Nesta did some sustained running, a first.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 6 2009, 12:38 PM
I could be wrong. It was from Tuttosport supposedly. Somebody told me this on communicator.
EDIT: It's up on goal.com as well which quotes Tuttosport: http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2009/05/06/1249197/report-milan-keeper-dida-in-doubt-for-juventus-visit
Posted by: Tennie May 6 2009, 12:43 PM
Meh. It's Tuttosport, which is Juve's equivalent to Marca. Let's wait and see what happens in afternoon training.
Posted by: han2503 May 6 2009, 01:21 PM
@Jack
Gazzetta usually get it right, and I'm almast certain that Carlo will start Seedorf ahead of Pato. Now what Seedorf does in front of his webcam is between him and the webcam, now that would be frightning

You're just intimidated by Milan's 'Sexual Chocolate'...

Kakà Seedorf
Inzaghi
Buffon
Zebina Legrottaglie Chiellini Molinaro
Marchionni Zanetti Poulsen Giovinco
Amauri Iaquinta
Flagrant lack of Pato's cazzo in this linup....
i think he fractured is pride :S
LOL someone has been hanging around Carlo a bit to long lol
Morning training was specific training (various groups doing different sorts of drills). Nesta did some sustained running, a first.
Should Nesta really be running :S ? I Mean he is already out for the season (i think). To bad he would break his face if he sneezed
best defender made of straw in europe!!---
if i came of a little to apathetic, i would like to appologise, i don't like my job, and i'm withing it's confinements at the moment lol

lol this is ridiculous
Send the Milan Lab to the wolves
Posted by: Tennie May 6 2009, 03:28 PM
The only place in Italy where the Dida injury has been posted is Tuttosport, which is a Juve paper. Let's wait and see before wailing and gnashing our teeth.
As for the Gobbi, they're doing a double training session day too. Molinaro didn't train (back injury), Marchisio's training separately, Grygera and Legrottaglie are also training separately. Fishdoll's guess at this point is that Molinaro's for sure out, Marchisio's probably out, and that Grygera and Legrottaglie are questionable.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 6 2009, 03:41 PM
You never respect any rumours I post. 
Posted by: Tennie May 6 2009, 03:44 PM
Fishdoll wells, you should stick to Keira and stop moving in on Miz!
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 6 2009, 03:53 PM
But Miz is like Madrid!!! How can anyone say no to Madrid??!!!
Posted by: Tennie May 6 2009, 04:36 PM
Afternoon training has taken place - tactical work, ball possession drills, and practice game. They noted that Dida trained in the sand pit but nothing else regarding a possible injury.
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl May 6 2009, 04:47 PM
why a sand pit?
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 6 2009, 05:03 PM
Coz he needs help...

Between this and comparing me to Madrid, Jack owns this week. Locke, acid and Fishdoll are going to have to double their efforts.
Posted by: Ry4n May 7 2009, 02:56 AM
I hate running on sand , its soo dam hard lool
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 03:09 AM
So anyway, yeah. Apparently Dida's back IS having issues. Hopefully he'll be able to play.
Posted by: MizNelson May 7 2009, 03:22 AM
Sigh...it just seems that there's no point in him getting back into form, because something always derails it.
Well, he's got three days to get healed. I still can't find anything about it on Google News other than Tuttosport, Goal.com and Ch. 4, both of which got their story from the former.
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 03:36 AM
It's on Mediaset too and them, I believe. (Tuttosport is good for Toro and Gobbi news, but not so much else).
I rossoneri hanno svolto una doppia seduta di allenamento: lavoro atletico al mattino e tattico nel pomeriggio. L'allenamento si è concluso con i giocatori impegnati in una partitella sette contro sette a campo ridotto. Inzaghi e Kakà hanno svolto lavori personalizzati all'interno della palestra. Differenziato per Dida, alle prese con problemi alla schiena: in caso di forfait è pronto Kalac. Nesta e Kaladze hanno proseguito la rieducazione all'interno della palestra.
Posted by: MizNelson May 7 2009, 06:10 AM
(Didafan wants Fishdoll to tell her if she's overreacting.)
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 11:24 AM
Fishdoll'd wait til Friday before deciding. Dida may well pull out of it.
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 12:00 PM
According to milannews, there's some good news on the injury front, Dr. Martens has given the green light for 20-25 minutes of play and so RINO may be called up for the game! (and start off the bench, but still.)
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 7 2009, 12:27 PM
I'd rather Rino didn't have to go first up against Juve. I also get this sick feeling, it might be at the cost of Beckham.
Posted by: Zed.D May 7 2009, 12:56 PM
Is Pato injured?
No Seedorf is just better then him
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
... Bah. it is a fake as far as I'm concerned!
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl May 7 2009, 03:01 PM
how good was Flamini at RB guys? i missed that game
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 03:07 PM
I thought he was quite good at RB.
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 04:55 PM
Steve Nash (who is a basketball player, I think?) was at training today.
He watched the team do warmups, ball possession drills, and crosses.
Gattuso and Antonini trained with the team.
Kaka trained separately (slight thigh strain)
Dida trained separately (back)
Posted by: dst May 7 2009, 05:01 PM
Steve Nash is playing for the Suns... it's normal that he's on vacation... and he is a Tottenham fan.
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 05:22 PM
For the Gobbi, Marchisio and Grygera returned to full training. Legrottaglie trained in the gym. Sissoko and Brazzo did their first training with the ball.
The gobbi practice game fielded DelPiero-Trezeguet with a midfield including Marchionni, Zanetti, and Tiago.
Posted by: vahid May 7 2009, 07:55 PM
IMO he was better than Oddo
Posted by: MizNelson May 7 2009, 11:22 PM
I went to acmilan.com and saw the headline, "Visit From a Champion, Steve Nash." Champion of what, exactly?
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl May 7 2009, 11:30 PM
he completed a pass did he now
?i can't even hate Oddo, he's born 5 minutes from my village lol, but yeah...
Posted by: Tennie May 7 2009, 11:37 PM
Milannews seems to think that Dida's condition is improving.
Posted by: Tennie May 8 2009, 11:46 AM
The referee for the game will be Signor Orsato.
Here are Mediaset's projected lineups:
LE PROBABILI FORMAZIONI
Milan (4-3-1-2): Dida; Zambrotta, Maldini, Favalli, Jankulovski; Beckham, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf; Kakà, Inzaghi. A disposizione: Kalac, Bonera, Jankulovski, Senderos, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Pato. All.: Ancelotti
Indisponibili: Gattuso, Borriello, Nesta, Kaladze
Juventus (4-4-2): Buffon; Grygera, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, De Ceglie; Marchionni, Zanetti, Poulsen, Giovinco; Amauri, Iaquinta. A disposizione: Manninger, Zebina, Ariaudo, Tiago, Camoranesi, Del Piero, Trezeguet. All.: Ranieri
Indisponibili: Sissoko, Salihamidzic, Ekdal, Knezevic, Marchisio, Molinaro, Mellberg (squalificato, 1), Nedved (squalificato, 1)
Posted by: Zed.D May 8 2009, 12:21 PM
I can see Carlo playing with the Christmas tree from 2300 miles.
Posted by: dst May 8 2009, 02:15 PM
Hey we're close, I somewhere there too. Can you also see Seedorf's huge bum? Of course you can!
Posted by: Zed.D May 8 2009, 02:58 PM
yeah
I am worried a bit. this is the time Carlo showed courage and played with an attacking formation (2 strikers). imagine 1 more striker replaced with a lazy bum (no offense but last game he was sluggish as hell). that'd be asking for a draw.
Posted by: han2503 May 8 2009, 03:08 PM
Hey!!
Don't diss Seedorf, he's far better then Pato will ever be, that why he's in the line-up!
Posted by: Tennie May 8 2009, 04:21 PM
Today's training has taken place. Warmups, drills, and practice games.
Both Dida and Kaka trained with the team for Milan (this part was in bold on the training report on acmilan.com) and are considered to be fully recuperated.
The Gobbi have got back (in various levels of fitness) Marchisio, Chiellini, Tiago, Legrottaglie, and Grygera (though today's Marchisio's first full training with the team this week). Molinaro's definitely out -- kidney stones.
Posted by: Tennie May 8 2009, 05:39 PM
It isn't kidney stones for Molinaro after all. Here's an update from the gobbi website:
The player was admitted at the Fornaca Clinic in Turin for precaution purposes and to undergo monitoring of the healing of the haematoma. His stay at the clinic will last a few days but he will be missing the rest of the season.
In about a month’s time further tests will be possible in order to establish whether he can return to normal activity or rest for a period of between 2 or 4 months more in case surgery is needed to solve the problem.
Hope he recovers. Don't like to see any players injured or in ill health like this.
Posted by: MizNelson May 8 2009, 05:51 PM
That sucks. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Posted by: Tennie May 8 2009, 06:21 PM
(from the ticker on acmilan.com's english page)
5/8/2009
MILAN - On Sunday at San Siro Juventus arrive, for David Beckham it will be a special match: "A fundamental match. Since I've been in Italy I have been waiting for and desiring this match. Playing against Juve - Beckham concluded - is always exciting. The atmosphere will be incredible. It will be important to win to maintain the second place."
Posted by: Tennie May 8 2009, 06:52 PM
For what it's worth, our foulmouthed friends on the Gobbi boards are mostly not feeling optimistic about the game. Many of their predictions are along the lines of Milan 3 - Gobbi 1.
Posted by: han2503 May 8 2009, 07:17 PM
^^^
They better not jinx us, those Juventuz gobbi 
Posted by: Ry4n May 8 2009, 08:11 PM
Yeah a Juve friend is saying a draw 1-1 lol
Posted by: Ry4n May 8 2009, 08:12 PM
ill only make my prediction when i see the line up tho , but i will make one or two now on who scores
Inzaghi e Kaka'
Posted by: MizNelson May 8 2009, 08:47 PM
Didafan admonishes Fishdoll for double-posting. 
Posted by: Tennie May 9 2009, 02:45 PM
Ancelotti has given his prematch press conference. Highlights regarding the lineups:
* Kaka will play
* Beckham is a doubt because of a minor knock to his ancle
* Pato's doing well and could play in Seedorf's position or in Inzaghi's.
* Gattuso will be called up.
Posted by: Zed.D May 9 2009, 04:16 PM
I don't trust Carlo. he won't bench Seedorf in a "big game". no way.
Posted by: MizNelson May 9 2009, 05:06 PM
Inzaghi vs Chiellini: anticipiamo i temi del posticipo di domenica sera.
Derby d’Italia o meno: conta poco. Milan e Juve vanno in campo per vincere e compiere l’ultimo salto in vista Champions. Noi di Goal.com abbiamo analizzato la sfida in ogni parte del campo: alcuni di questi duelli potrebbero risultare decisivi per portare a casa i tre punti.
Milan e Juve arrivano al big match in silenzio. Quasi religioso. E per motivi opposti. La stagione di entrambe ha qualche pecca. Al Milan prevale il rammarico per gli infortuni e per le sfide contro le ‘piccole’, che hanno portato via punti pesanti, impedendo il duello con la capolista. Alla Juve, invece, è in corso una vera e propria burrasca: voci, polemiche e risultati che stentano ad arrivare. Milan e Juve, insomma, hanno dei motivi per non gioire. Ma il destino ha voluto giocare un brutto scherzo: metterle di fronte a quattro giornate dalla fine. Per tirare le somme prima di ripartire per una nuova affascinante avventura. Il prestigio di Milan-Juve, poi, ha pochi eguali: il tutto esaurito del Meazza lo dimostra. Vincere servirà anche a questo: fare pace coi tifosi, in un modo o nell’altro.
Il big match avrà tanti motivi di interesse. E noi ci siamo sbizzarriti a leggere tra le righe di una partita anomala, ma pur sempre appassionante. Ecco a voi le sfide che la decideranno.
Pirlo-Zanetti. Pochi hanno i loro piedi e le loro geometrie. In un centrocampo a tre come quello rossonero, il compito del Maestro sarà quello di aprire gli spazi e assistere le punte. Zanetti, invece, che arriva dal suo ennesimo infortunio, spera, dopo il goal di Reggio, di tornare decisivo. A modo suo, con uno di quei lanci che spalancano il campo agli attaccanti. Ma, a differenza di Pirlo, dovrà stare attento in copertura, perché il Milan avvolge e tutti devono dare una mano. La sfida in mezzo al campo ha due paladini d’eccezione.
Inzaghi-Chiellini. Non dormirà la notte, il Chiello. Affrontare Inzaghi di questi tempi è come scalare il Mortirolo a piedi. Superpippo scoppia di salute e la Juve è uno dei bersagli prediletti.La primavera lo ha trasformato e lui segna a valanga. Lo scenario, insomma, è inquietante. Ma Chiellini, in ripresa, è il miglior centrale del nostro campionato, l’unico in grado di poter trovare degli antidoti alla vena del suo avversario. Anche se, si sa, Inzaghi è imprevedibile e rapace. Al predatore non si possono chiedere miracoli.
Maldini-Amauri. Altra sfida elettrizzante. Partiamo da Amauri. E’ forse uno dei pochi che può dare la scossa alla sua squadra. Non gioca da tanto e, nonostante il modesto rodaggio, può mostrare la sua freschezza atletica. L’accoppiata con Iaquinta, tocco e velocità, potrebbe dare fastidio al Milan. Che, con Favalli, schiera però il capitano. Maldini è uno dei pochi che riesce a sopperire all’età in modo stratosferico. Con la classe, innanzitutto, ma anche con i muscoli, se necessario. E contro il brasiliano, state certi, serviranno.
Kakà-Poulsen. Vi ricorda qualcosa? A noi francamente sì. Un Milan-Schalke di qualche anno fa in Champions. Il talento di San Paolo, nel fior dei suoi anni, sorvolava il campo come una saetta, fino a quando il marmoreo Poulsen non lo abbatteva. Quella partita scatenò l’ira funesta del Milan. Domani potrebbe essere un’altra storia. Il danese, con più giudizio, proverà ad attaccarsi all’avversario e a beccare la palla più che potrà. Perché, nonostante quel Kakà fosse leggermente diverso, quello di oggi non scherza.
Paolo Mandarà
Posted by: han2503 May 9 2009, 05:30 PM
If Becks is having problems then it's an easy issue to deal with, Seedorf plays in the midfield 3.
Other then that, I cannot believe that he's actually considering not playing either Pato or Pippo because of him
Posted by: Tennie May 9 2009, 06:59 PM
Interesting read, Miz. Thanks for posting.
Here are the call ups:
Dida, Kalac, Perucchini
Antonini, Favalli, Jankulovski, Maldini, Mattioni, Senderos, Zambrotta
Ambrosini, Beckham, Flamini, Gattuso, Pirlo
Inzaghi, Kakà, Pato, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho.
Here are the Gobbi call ups:
Buffon, Camoranesi, Tiago, Amauri, Chiellini, Chimenti, De Ceglie, Del Piero, Giovinco, Grygera, Iaquinta, Legrottaglie, Manninger, Marchionni, Poulsen, Trezeguet, Zanetti, Zebina, Ariaudo, Yago.

seedorf is far better then my d*** ... he even isn't faster then pato ... if pato just use his speed without tricks ... he will be better then seedorf so what about if he uses his tricks ..> ??? heh ! that's bullshit ... seedorf is wack assed soccer player this season

Han was being sarcastic. Relax.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE May 9 2009, 08:15 PM
He watched the team do warmups, ball possession drills, and crosses.
Gattuso and Antonini trained with the team.
Kaka trained separately (slight thigh strain)
Dida trained separately (back)
Steve Nash is a Del Piero fan too btw..

Posted by: dst May 9 2009, 09:35 PM
Oh Del with the C's, that's a nice picture.
So Gattuso is back just in time to take care of Poulsen if the latter feels like kicking Kaka around again...
Posted by: vnata001 May 9 2009, 10:14 PM
i would think that winning the most valuable player of the nba qualifies him as a champion.
^^^cool pics. nice to see basketball pros appreciate the beautiful game.
nash is actually a good soccer player. he showed some skills in the dunk contest a few years ago.
damn its nice to see rino being called up again. we really could send a stern message to the rest of europe if we win out the rest of the season.

It's just that acmilan.com throws the word "champion" around ad nauseam to the point that it starts to become cliche and lose its meaning.

Fishdoll awww! Hopefully his modelling for Miz's preview will bring us luck!
We might need it; Mediaset is saying that Dida's a late scratch for the game (back issues) and we'll have Kalac in goal.
Posted by: russellbhoy May 10 2009, 03:36 PM
What times kickoff?
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 03:39 PM

Is there no God? omg Kalac in nets :S
Posted by: MizNelson May 10 2009, 05:01 PM
And I was looking forward to possibly the last ever Dida-Buffon matchup for so long. I should've known that this and his current run of form were too good to be true.
Well, fvck this. I'm going back to bed.
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 06:13 PM
Kalac in goal? 
just when everything looked ready for a Juve demolition, this happens. sh*t!
I predict a draw. I can see Del Piro scoring for fun tonight.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE May 10 2009, 06:23 PM
We might need it; Mediaset is saying that Dida's a late scratch for the game (back issues) and we'll have Kalac in goal.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE May 10 2009, 06:24 PM
....
but this is certainly not the time for something like that!
Posted by: TriniKing_CE May 10 2009, 06:27 PM
Just over an hour for game time.
Can't wait!!!!

Pippo and Kaka my only hope for this game
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 07:06 PM
So typical for Carlo to drop Pato as soon as he gets the chance
Posted by: whoarethepatriots May 10 2009, 07:07 PM
I cant wait to see De Ceglie run rings around Zambrotta again.
I am not feeling too confident today, Juve are a wounded beast and i can see us getting complacent for the umpteenth time

Flamini again covers Maldini's mistake.
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 07:50 PM
Fishdoll thinks referee Orsato is a gobbi fan.
That and, well, nobody's taking prisoners in the challenges tonight.
It's nice to see the San Siro full.
Posted by: Ry4n May 10 2009, 07:51 PM
The stadio's singing his name now !!
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 07:52 PM
Why are we ltting them even get a sniff at Kalac??!!
We really need an outlet in attack. Dinho or Pato should have been a must for this game, but yet again, Carlo picks Seedorf
Posted by: russellbhoy May 10 2009, 07:52 PM
Stupid mistake Favalli
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 07:52 PM
Hate to say it but Juve look more dangerous whereas we look toothless.
Favalli gifts Juve a corner...
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 07:53 PM
half a chance for pippo
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 07:53 PM
We're making them look like pre calciopoli Juve
Posted by: Ry4n May 10 2009, 07:57 PM
We are doing pretty good if you ask me guys !! on 25mins
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 07:58 PM
What do you expect when our tactic is to send long balls for Pippo. I can't believe Carlo didn't play Pato who could run through their defense and make goalscoring opportunities. something none of our attacker are capable of, not even Kaka.
Seedorf can't pass
what a liability
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 07:59 PM
we need pato on the field to add some vareity kaka is being attacked by 2-3 players while seedorf does not need to be marked
Posted by: elcordobez May 10 2009, 07:59 PM
lol
u know switching straight from a Barcelona game to this game now i realize how far behind our passing is
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 07:59 PM
Kaka awful shot
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 08:00 PM
Lots of bitterness that Pato's not playing, guys. Sheesh. Enough is enough.
Nobody's said 'good pick' yet on fielding Flamini over Janku. Wonder why.
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:00 PM
SEEEDOOOORF O MY GOD!!!!!
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 08:03 PM
Nobody's said 'good pick' yet on fielding Flamini over Janku. Wonder why.
bcoz seedorf has been involved in breaking most of our attacks
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:03 PM
Nobody's said 'good pick' yet on fielding Flamini over Janku. Wonder why.
Because Flamini is clearly in better form then Janku and knows how to both attack AND defend.
While Seedorf is terrible atm, and yet Carlo still picks him over Pato, someone we could have really used today because of his speed and skill
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:05 PM
OMG, am I the only one who wants to smack his head against the wall @ Seedorf misplacing his passes?
Posted by: Ry4n May 10 2009, 08:06 PM
Nobody's said 'good pick' yet on fielding Flamini over Janku. Wonder why.
we should just play Pato , just Pato
maybe theyll be happy
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 08:08 PM
i am with you
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:08 PM
maybe theyll be happy Absolutely. the best players must play. something Carlo ignores all the time since he has his favorites.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 08:09 PM
another chance missed by juve
Posted by: elcordobez May 10 2009, 08:10 PM
and someone should remind Zambrotta that he's not wearing the black n white
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:10 PM
We made Paulsen look like a cross between Messi and CR there
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 08:10 PM
You have your favorites too, zeddie. And they can never do any wrong.
Posted by: Ry4n May 10 2009, 08:11 PM
I'm gunna laugh is Seedorf scores tonight lol
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:12 PM
I think all of us have our favourites, but unlike Carlo, we don't get to make the decisions one who plays and who doesn't, that's where things become different
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:13 PM
I wouldn't be so shocked, he usually scores when he's playing his worst games, plus this is Juve, he likes to score against them
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:13 PM
San Siro looks simply amazing when it's full. I wish it was always like this...
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 08:14 PM
True enough, han. I'm just a little tired of the anti-Carlo hysterics. Honestly, guys, we get that some of you really dislike him.
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:14 PM
Of course I'm an idiot to think Pato is better than Seedorf, who has been terrible so far.
Posted by: Ry4n May 10 2009, 08:15 PM
And those of us who LOVE HIM and keep a shrine of him in there house !!!!!
nah im joking about the shrine but i do like him !!!!
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:16 PM
It's not about dislike Tennie, I think he's really improved these past couple of weeks in terms of subs and line-ups, but this Seedorf thing is just getting way too irritiating.
He's playing terribly week in week out, yet he still gets picked over Pato/Dinho for a position that is not even his, because he's not an attacking mid!!
I myself, and I'm pretty sure alot of the others here are tired of this.
Posted by: russellbhoy May 10 2009, 08:17 PM
Should be a red, Poulsen just took out Inzaghi
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:17 PM
We look slow and toothless. apart from Kaka's shot, I doubt we managed to trouble Buffon in the first half. I thought we were badly on form and Juve in the middle of a crisis!

JESUS YOU SEE HOW SEEDORF PASSES?
Great post btw.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 08:20 PM
HT i wouldnt say juve totallly dominated but in a way they dominated and had some really good chances... let see what kind of subs we make will it be HT sub or will carlo bring pato for beckham ( yellow) on 75 mark
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 08:20 PM
I don't think Ronaldinho would be very effective, sorry. Remember what happened last time we played the Gobbi.
And I actually have faith in the coach's selections. If he picked Seedorf, it was for a good reason - like the one you yourself cited, han: Seedorf tends to score against Juve.
But I'm not going to argue further, not on this one because I think it's silly. If some people want to go on an anti-Carlo-he's-ruining-Pato and anti-Seedorf witch hunt, have at it.
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:21 PM
HT
It was a meh sort of first half
We need to step it up big time, these aren't Chievo and Catania, no matter in what for they are.
Seedorf just needs to come off, end of. I don't care who comes on to replace him at this point but he needs to be taken off ASAP
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:22 PM
He assisted a goal.
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 08:22 PM
I'd like to see Rino come on in the second.
I'd also like to see Pato come in.
Seedorf hasn't been very effective (I do agree on that, just not on the level of venom that some folks are showing). Neither has Kaka.
+1 cookie each to Flamini and to Favster, who I think have been good.
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 08:24 PM
Yes, but he did nothing helping in defense and for large chunks of the game, he had his @ss handed to him by a 22 year old who wasn't even expected to play in the game (Marchisio).
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 08:25 PM
yea flamini has been best and i think after him favilli has been really solid and pushed forward as well
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:30 PM

Sorry have to reply to this even though I know how you feel about it and just have to say that it's not an anti Carlo thing, at least not on my part, I'm more anti Seedorf atm, I already stated why I think that Carlo fields him and I don't see it as 100% favouritism but rather Carlo not wanting confrontations...
And sure he tends to score against Juve but the keyword here is tends, it's not like it's garaunteed that he will score. He hasn't actually scored against them since 05/06 (IIRC
). And I'm sorry but his "tendency" to score against them is not a good enough reason to play him, especially if he's in the form he's in. And I don't remember him having a tendency to score against Catania, Torino, Chievo etc, yet he still started against them.And I think even the primavera goalie would be more effective then Seedorf at this point. He's just way too static, slow and complacent, especially these past few weeks, were it's gotten to a point where it's awful to watch him labouring around the pitch and making mistakes.
And personally I think Dinho would be more effective because of his passing and ability in tight spaces, something neither Pato or Kaka are good at.
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:32 PM
I somehow agree about Dinho and as you can see I rarely complain when he's on bench. you may call it favoritism, but if Pato's performances over the season indicate anything it's that he should play.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 08:34 PM
i think r80 and pato are coming on
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:34 PM
No subs made it seems

Totally agree, the amount of times he gave the ball away in the first half I thought he was playing for Juve! I don't rate R80 much better but I would sooner have him over Seedorf.
We need to give Pippo some help upfront if we're to win this, and another forward will create space for Ricky to weave some magic. Hopefully carlo's clever enough to realise this
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:35 PM
I don't understand this 'he did not help in defence' theory.
Especially when I see Seedorf walking around on the other end of the pitch when we don't have the ball
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan May 10 2009, 08:36 PM
no they are not my bad

I think my reverse jinx effect worked pretty well tonight don't you think?
But seriously I knew he would score at some point. Just like I said a couple of posts back, he usually scores when he's playing his worst games
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 08:49 PM
Really shocking!! I didn't expect Pippo to do that tbh. more than that, I didn't expect him to pass, I thought he'd shot himself.
Posted by: arivanjj May 10 2009, 08:49 PM
loves scoring against Juve i guess

Giovinco might ACTUALLY come on before Pato

He was dived over by Iaquinta

Why didnt they start arguing it didnt show ?!?!?!

R80 looks to be coming on too
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 08:57 PM
Wow what happened there between Paolo and Chiellini>
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 08:59 PM
Looked like it was Il Capitano being less than pleased at a foul to Kaka during the corner. He had a fistful of Chiellini's jersey and was none too happy about something.
Posted by: Locke Lamora May 10 2009, 08:59 PM
Maldini owned him. Simple as that.
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 09:01 PM

Ronaldinho for Pippo.
We need Rino in there to put Poulsen in his place.

WTF is going on !!!! red ?!?!?!?!?!!

Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 09:14 PM
Yep, Orsato is a gobbi fan. Penalty on Pato not called and a straight red for Favalli. Ugh.
Posted by: han2503 May 10 2009, 09:15 PM
OH
Clear penalty on Pato, and to add insult to injury, Favalli gets red
Posted by: russellbhoy May 10 2009, 09:16 PM

Posted by: I_Rossoneri May 10 2009, 09:29 PM
We should have had two penalties(Pato and R80), but thanks to our scum cugini we get nothing, and Favalli's red was a complete joke. It seems dirty tactics are still at work in the Serie A
Edit: Just read that R80 wasn't fouled but Pato was.
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 09:29 PM
Depressing. we're miles behind likes of Barca, Man U, Chelsea in terms of football.
I have to accept it. it's over for us. we're no longer a power to be reckoned with in Europe [not that we are in Italy] as long as those who are managing the club don't change their ways and philosophy.
I can see us doing shockingly bad in the CL next season. mark my words. maybe then Galliani and co will wake up

We've been behind them for sometime now and until management accept that then nothing will change.

Posted by: Locke Lamora May 10 2009, 09:43 PM
Is it just me or isn't a 1-1 draw with Juventus worth making such a big deal out of?
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 09:44 PM
Thank you, Locke.

remember the days when we picked up our game vs BIG opponents,geez that seems so long ago
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 09:50 PM
That alibi has become a cliche. forget Bremen, remember Arsenal!
Posted by: Tennie May 10 2009, 10:01 PM
Out of curiosity, is there anything other than Pato that you DO like about the club, zeddie? The negativity and venom has been especially thick today.
Posted by: I_Rossoneri May 10 2009, 10:02 PM
Usually a draw with Juve is a good result, but this Juve are in decline and we really should have got three points from them.
Posted by: I_Rossoneri May 10 2009, 10:09 PM
Perhaps its not the club but the direction that management are taking us! Because of poor planning in the past we are in the state we are now. I can relate to the frustration that Zed.d feels.

Flamini 5 - Va bene essere generosi e correre, ma fare il terzino vuol dire avere senso di posizione: salva due gol su due suoi errori. Il terzo, costa al Milan due punti.
Favalli 5.5 - Espulsione (gratuita) a parte, regge come può nelle retrovie.
Maldini 5.5 - Brutto il gesto su Chiellini per un Campione della sua caratura.
Zambrotta 6 - Il migliore della retroguardia: spinge bene contro Grygera e contiene le offensive.
Beckham 5.5 - Prova intangibile di David, forse intimorito dal giallo rimediato da Orsato.
- Ronaldinho sv - Il suo ingresso dà qualcosa in più, ma non sufficiente per dare la svolta: forse avesse giocato dall'inizio...
Pirlo 5 - Invisibile, non inventa nulla nella manovra.
Ambrosini 6 - A metà campo dà quel che può fino all'ultimo prova a mettere palloni in mezzo, ma non è il suo mestiere.
Seedorf 5 - Il gol zittisce le critiche forse, ma non può cambiare un giudizio ovviamente non positivo su una prestazione sottotono.
- Senderos sv
Kakà 4.5 - Ricalato nella catalessi che ne ha contraddistinto spesso le prove in questa stagione: cancellati gli ultimi progressi.
Inzaghi 5.5 - Praticamente mai servito: e se fosse entrato quel colpo, pochi secondi prima della sostituzione...
- Pato sv - Entra troppo tardi per dare qualcosa: forse un po' con la testa tra le nuvole
I assume these are from Datasport. Not much to complain about, but if that had been Dida's performance today he'd be getting a 5. Also, Flamini's rating seems quite rough.
Too bad that two classic matchups (Gigi-Dida, Maldini-Del Piero) that probably would've made the match more exciting were spoiled today. Thank you, fate.
Posted by: Zed.D May 10 2009, 10:33 PM
I love Milan! not much the coach, I admit, and not at all the way the management have managed the club in the past couple of years. I want my club to be the best, naturally, and I see we're far from that. anything else?
oh, out of players that featured tonight, I'd keep only Pirlo, Ambrosini, Kaka, Pato and Flamini (Gattuso, Abbiati and a few others as well - like a healthy Nesta) ONLY MY OPINION but I think the rest have contributed what they could and the club would be better off without them (EXCEPT MALDINI WHO IS GOING TO RETIRE).
Posted by: Locke Lamora May 10 2009, 10:33 PM
Yeah, you're second in the championship with CL qualification guaranteed and the most promising talent in the world on the books. Horrible.
Look, I understand the dissapointment, but is the nihilistic veil of tears really a reasonable reaction? I think not.
Posted by: MizNelson May 10 2009, 11:19 PM
WHAT WAS THAT!!!???
+1 piece of Fishdoll's peppermint bark to han for that one.
Not because of the obvious; merely because it was just hysterical.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots May 10 2009, 11:54 PM
Normally i would be content with a 1-1 draw with Juve but several factors are leaving me unhappy.
Firstly Juve are utter crap at the moment, we should have finished them off
Secondly we have Udine, Roma and Fio to play, which are all very tricky ties (minus the Roma one, because in all probability they will self destruct)
Also i didnt see the game but did the brilliant defender by the name of Favalli get himself sent off? We make it a habit of getting players sent off against Juve, Gattuso before they were relegated, Bonera last year and Favalli this year
We can (and probably will) loose first place unless we dispatch the aforementioned teams
Posted by: Tennie May 11 2009, 12:04 AM
The Favalli redcard was very harsh, whoarethepatriots. Yes, there was a foul but De Ceglie did exactly the same thing to Beckham early in the game and only got a scolding.
That said, the team wasn't anywhere near its recent form. The gobbi weren't all that great either, truth be told. A draw is probably a fair result.

I have to admit it , i had a little hope of catching merda , but after tonight ... ah well i'll be happy with winning the scudetto and cl next year
Posted by: august_milan May 11 2009, 02:31 AM
I hope your not holding your breath on that one Nova. With Galliani only wanting to buy old "experenced" players, aswell as our lack of funds and inability to compete with the english sides financially like our board keeps saying, we have no chance to ship out old and ineffective players and sign adaquit replacements, not to mention if carlo does keep on as our coach if his attitude doesnt change were doomed to another season with no silverwear.
Posted by: Tennie May 11 2009, 03:27 AM
Good lord, there's a lot of doom and gloom today. You'd think the gobbi beat us 6-0. (and yes, I'm old enough to remember when they did).
Remember where we were last season, guys - an awful lot worse than this year.
by the way, the bit about Galliani and old players is based on a poorly translated article by a biased writer. Why are people so quick to only believe the negative things regarding the man and when he says somethign positive, they call him a liar?

this has got to be one of the worst posts i've seen on here in a long time.
teams rise and fall all the time...doesn't mean it's the end for them. we're 2nd place right now in serie a. 4 years ago man u was NOT winning anything either.
seriously...take the doom and gloom somewhere else.

*Waiting for a Pana comment~ something along the lines of a vengeful striking hand of God etc. ~
Not too disappointed by the result. It's ok. There are worse things than a 1-1 draw with a Gobbi. They've always been better than their current results, and I think for all their problems with Ranieri, there's no way the Juve players would have had the same mentality against Milan.
Wish the referee could have been better though. Still displeased with the Favalli red. Oh well....We're still in the race for 2nd. So things aren't all bad.

Teams rise only if they do something to make it happen. on the contrary, they fall only if they ignore the needs to be competitive at the highest level...
1 Scudetto in 10 years. we sure do rise and fall all the time
It's sad to see this loser mentality's gotten most Milan fans. what are we, the new Inter?
BIG FAT IDIOT!!!!! I cannot believe this guy... go to ****ing Chelsea, I'd rather have Terim than you right now!!!
What's happened
I don't; but I remember once I said that I'd seen Maldini lose his cool sometimes. and I nearly got killed for saying that!
Poor Chiellini nearly wet himself
Posted by: Tennie May 11 2009, 12:27 PM
zeddie, you're conveniently forgetting the 3 CL finals in those same ten years. Can you name another team that's got that kind of record?
I agree with Warchant. The negativity and defeatism is getting to be too much. Rebuilding a team cannot be done in one season and if you can't see an improvement over last year then I suggest you check the records. A team cannot play champagne football EVERY SINGLE GAME for every single season. It just doesn't happen and expecting it to happen is unrealistic.
If you want to only see bad (except Pato, who seems incapable of any wrong) then so be it.
Posted by: dst May 11 2009, 12:32 PM
**** happened! A man with no balls happened! A douchebag that does not know what he's doing happened!
He does not lose His temper... I mean... He's God, He cannot lose anything...
I've seen Him get angry with opposition players before but it always was for something grave. I'm sure it was something that really annoyed him last night too.

No. Nothing new. Just the old one-forward-at-home-even-if-Juventus-are-sh**-at-the-back-and-won't-take-Kaka-out-no-matter-if-he's-playing-like-a-Serie-C-player tactics!
I truly hope he gets away from Milan! It must end, it's not working for either side. [edit: Carletto that is]
Posted by: Tennie May 11 2009, 12:44 PM
I give up. zeddie, if Milan is as horrible as you seem to think it is, why are you even bothering to pretend to follow it? You don't like management, you don't like the coach, you only seem to think a small handful of players are worthwhile. Seems all you want to do is complain and criticize. I'm sorry if you really can only see the negative and have unrealistic expectations of the team. I'm done trying to reason with this sort of attitude. If you feel the need to continue to spew venom on this forum, do so; nobody's stopping you unless you break board rules.
Posted by: Zed.D May 11 2009, 02:09 PM
That wasn't nice. I better end it here before the accusations get any more offensive, especially since I'm not the only Milan fan on earth who's feeling this way about some people involved in the club. if you look any further than the pretending, fanboying, venom spreading zeddie [a few of insults you've been throwing at me for some time now], you will see the others as well. only if...
Posted by: Jack Sparrow May 11 2009, 02:18 PM
Never a dull day. Parry-thrust... on and on and on...
Who's a fan? Who's not?
It's a subjective argument. And a very pointless, energy-sapping exercise to make each person see the others point of view.
Let's just drop it.
Ignore comments from the 'opposite' camp , if they make no sense to you at all, and can't further any healthy debate.
Case closed.
Posted by: Tennie May 11 2009, 02:18 PM
Your constant venom isn't very nice either. In fact it makes it downright unpleasant to come here and read this board. I have no problem with criticisms levelled at the club/players/management when warranted, but I also like to see a little balanced perspective and in the vast majority of your comments, I see none.
