Odd that Bonera was not called up for this one. He did rather well against Samp. I suspect that Il Capitano will only play part of the game if he plays at all. Midweek is the away Shakhtar fixture.

It's like our defenders are all being shot doew one by one.

At this rate we'll barely have enough to complete the back 4 (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

What surprises me is how often Favalli keeps getting called. It's like he's got qualities we don't know of...

I mean he's a decent bloke, doesn't complain. But we've not got much out of him. Of course at one stage last season, he was Favalinho and looked like scoring more than Gila and Inzaghi, but still, he hasn't even made an anti-merda remark, for us to look at him in a different way.

Favalli is a very good defender and stood up whenever he was called to.

[Jack Sparrow]

But him over Bonera? Don't get me wrong...for a free transfer...Favalli has done extremely well. Trust the merda to give us someone good and reliable!

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) They would never give us Adriano. They'd be too **** scared!!

[Darunia]

My probable lineup:

Dida
Cafu-Nesta-Kaladze-Serginho
Brocchi-Pirlo-Ambrosini
Kaka-Seedorf
Gilardino

But he is not called up...


Anyways, I'm pretty sure Bonera was not fit to be called up.

I'm expecting our usual line up minus Oddo-Janku.

Carletto: Let’s end Meazza jinx


Carlo Ancelotti has called upon his Milan side to end their San Siro hoodoo when they entertain Torino tomorrow night.

Strangely, the Rossoneri’s three wins in this campaign have all been achieved on away soil.

The European champions have drawn three and lost two at home, but after hammering Sampdoria 5-0 in midweek will be confident of changing that record.

“I think it’s time to lift the San Siro curse,” Ancelotti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“It’s our home and it’s time we did something good there, even if it won’t be an easy game.

“This is an important time for us and we will need the support of our fans. We haven’t been getting the results we deserve, but there has been no lack of preparation.”

While the Press have readily declared that the Diavolo are a side in crisis, Ancelotti believes that is a simplification.

“A struggling team doesn’t alternate between negative performances like Empoli and positive ones such as Roma and Genoa,” he claimed.

“The problem has been finding a breakthrough and we haven’t been good enough from set-pieces.”

Despite finding themselves stuck in mid-table, the season’s objectives haven’t changed.

“We want fourth place and the Club World Championship.

"If we add those to the European Super Cup it will have been a successful season,” Ancelotti concluded.

It now appears unlikely that Ronaldo will feature in tomorrow’s encounter, but he is heading towards recovery from a long-term thigh problem.

I was just being realistic as to where the club's priorities stand. I believe the club should target 1st place in the league. As I believe the club should win a back to back CL title. But what good is it gonna do if I look negatively on this and start reacting negatively to every and anything the club come out with that is against what I want (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Maybe after we reach 4th place and the management assesses the situation in how far we are from that 1st place, we might just go for it. Or in Europe, if the management see Europe and assess that there is a chance they might go all for that target (maybe simultaneously..) who knows, as we said (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) It's still early.

[Rossoneri7]

My probable lineup:

Dida
Cafu-Nesta-Kaladze-Serginho
Brocchi-Pirlo-Ambrosini
Kaka-Seedorf
Gilardino

Maybe Seedorf would rest this one ... But overall I think it would be the lineup for the match (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes he said it but I still find it strange that you would accept a comment like that from Carlo with a smile on your face.

Saying that 4th place a the CWC have always been our target is just an insult. We should be fighting for 1st place and he shouldn't be saying something like that when there is still a chances this season to win the league if we put purselves completely in it. We're only 11 points away from Inter and it's still early. The top teams will drop points. Therefore we still have a chance.

Making a comment like that as if we have already thrown in the towel is an insult and even making it worse by saying that 4th spot was always our goal. We're Milan not Fiorentina!!!

I'm sorry if I don't see it the way you do but Milan's goals should be higher then that.

And anyway let's not get back into this discussion because it is a never ending one and stay on topic.

I wonder if we're going to rest a couple key guys tomorrow, considering we have to fly to Ukraine for the CL match in the next few days.

[Jack Sparrow]

The Ukraine....The Ukaraine BMW...or dst will sulk. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

No, I believe that we both agree on what Milan's target(s) should be .. The only difference is, how you accept it. For me, I would be disappointed if the team doesn't make it to the targets that 'I' would expect from the Champions of Europe .. But then again, what difference does it make if I start ranting on about the quality of the team's subs and yadda yadda yadda (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) None at all, except looking like an @ss when Milan turn this into one hell of a season (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

So to answer you, no I don't take it with a smile, I just support the Rossoneri, even the less important Rossonero that we have on the roster .. Plus, I would take all the efforts of my team into consideration.

I did it for two seasons straight (sulking and moaning) !! From 96 to 98 ... And a learned a lot since then, that it doesn't make a difference how bad I take it, the team will always find it's feet again (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

EDIT:

P.s. I do admit that I do it from time to time, when the performance of the team is not up to standards ... But thankfully, Milan usually exceed all standards (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

My apologies.

The Ukraine.

I hope that will placate him. If it doesn't, I'll whack him with Tennie's fish woobie. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
