The distance isn't that BIG. 7 points ? can be recovered in less than a month

But what we should all keep in mind is, we are not after the scudetto.

Ahhh...but inter don't know that. They'll keep thinking we're chasing them, and stumble. If they gift us the scudetto who're we to complain.

To be honest ... I want the scudetto more than any other trophy right now. But I said that phrase just to clear up any misconceptions about me stating how far we are from the top.

If we land the scudetto, that would be amazing !! But considering how thin our team is. and the CWC and CL .. I think Milan value those two competitions a bit more than the Serie A title.

Haha.

There's going to be an official inquiry Thursday about racist chants and unacceptable banners at the Merda-Napoli game. Apparently, the Merda's curva were chanting anti-Southern things (which they practiced during the PSV game earlier in the week) and had banners up such as 'Napoli, the cesspool of Italy' and 'Vesuvius, we're thinking of you'. Moratti's response: 'The fans are trying to encourage the team'.

(The above objectionable banners and chants are in violation of the new rules of the Amato decree that requires banners to be submitted for approval in advance of games, etc, so that no objecitonable/racist/etc stuff goes up. If the inquiry finds the Merda fans guilty, it could mean a game or two behind closed doors for the Merda.)

Well, apparently the Napoli tifosi are in trouble too. Five Napoli ultra leaders have been arrested for a variety of misdeeds up to and including death threats against Napoli president Di Laurentiis -- the issue seems to be free game tickets for the ultras, which is forbidden by the new Amato decree.

"Give us free tickets or I'll kill you." That's a disgrace. Life ban and a real long time in prison I hope.

Yeah, hooligans man... They really need to be taught a lesson.

The Curva Nord is banned for the Merda's home game against Genoa for the abovementioned infractions.

^^

For how many games will they be banned for ??

Just the one, v. Genoa on Oct 31.

Football Italia


Bullsh1t !!!

If it wasn't for FIAT .. He would be in negotiations with Palermo. He is 34, what image is he trying to develop ?!

3.8M/season for a 34 yr old .. Who does he think he is ? Maldini ?!

Eh. It may be BS, but I'm glad he resigned with Juve. It just wouldn't be right seeing him play anywhere else.

Well, I guess ur right

It was expeted. He did a 'trezeguet'.

Friendly from today..
Italy 2-0 South Africa
82' [1 - 0] C. Lucarelli
90' [2 - 0] C. Lucarelli

Bonera played the full 90' of the friendly.

Gila came on as a sub.

How did Gila do ?

Both Gila and Bonera got ratings of 6.5 from datasport.

Bonera got kudos for containing Benni McCarthy.

Gila got kudos for a couple of very good efforts on goal that required good saves.

PS - Gila played the last 30 minutes of the game and wore the armband for that time. He was part of a double substitution that saw De Rossi go off.

This boy needs to start finding some consistency ... This isn't good at all. He is a Milan striker .. Let see how he does on Sunday

Time for the giladivinho show.

Roma-Napoli is turning into quite a battle. It's 3-3 in the 66th min, there have been a flurry of cards (all yellow to this point), and the temperature has dropped from 19 to 10. Can't wait to see this one when it's rebroadcast tonight.

I was watching the game live. Only got to see Totti's penalty and then left for lunch. Forza Napoli! You can do it.

Btw, that Lavezzi guy has almost the same exact posture as Messi. Both reminiscent of a Neanderthal.

It's 4-4 now! Too bad most fans missed it. And Napoli, playing away from home without a single fan in the stands... I really like their fighting spirit. They will be back where they belong in no time if they keep this up.

Spectacular game!!

But Inter are going to win again I'm afraid...

FT result: 4-4. Well done indeed from Napoli.

What a great result for Napoli. And people say Serie A is boring.

Napoli is back

So is Adriano... and another win for Inter.

+5 over Roma now.

It's a bit too early for that roll eyes

Milan wont let the merda break away this time

A win for us is crucial tomorrow, but I'm 100% confident we'll get the job done!

Of course we will

Typical f@cking merda.

Just saw the rerun !!!! Reggina were really good !! It should have ended as a draw. Of course thanks to the ref, inter won

I like it, seems like you believe what you're saying...

Juve - Genoa is on ....



C'mon Juve !!!!


p.s. if they win today .. they are in 2nd place !

Juve 1-0 Genoa - '40
Del Piero '36

Del Piero cut his hair!

Oh yeah, he scored a goal too.

Nedved , you diving son of a b!tch !!!!!!!

Man i hate that guy . He fell over his own feet and was going nutts when he didnt got the foul. Malaka !!!

Haha. Nedved red card at the very end of the game. The Zebras still won, though.

Juve 3 points off of inter ... Now, who says they are running away with it

You do know Milan is still gonna win the scudetto , right ?

Of course .. Juve will take the lead and hold it for us till the team starts getting into a winning streak

On a serious note though .. I don't believe Milan are targeting the Scudetto

Awww. Del Piero spawned.

È nato stamattina il figlio di Alessandro Del Piero e Sonia Amoruso. Nella clinica Sant'Anna di Torino, la moglie del capitano della Juventus ha dato alla luce un maschietto, che la coppia ha deciso di chiamare Tobias (circa 3 kg di peso).

[This morning, the son of Alessandro Del Piero and Sonia Amoruso was born. At the clinic Sant'Anna of Torino, the wife of the Juventus captain gave birth to a son that the couple has named Tobias (circa 3kg).]

So he's a father now

A little late, but better l8 than never

-10 in October. Ridiculous. Simply ridiculous.

Yes, that's cause we can't! No team can win the league they are in if they don't have a powerful bench! Our bench is mediocre... at best!

It's sad... especially since they are not even ashamed to tell us we let Toni, Henry, Ribery and Buffon slip through our hands during the summer! This is is totally disheartening...

Tell us ?? We aren't board members .. They don't tell unless something is official.

TBH dst ... There was a reason behind not going all out in the transfer market. Today, u might place that reason on Galliani's incompetence or Carlo's weak personality to put pressure on the board or maybe even the fact that Milan wanted to close it's books with a profit. Tomorrow, this might be the reason for us to win the CL, because of the team's compactness and strong understand.

Disheartening, YES ... Believe me, i wanted several players .. one in particular that Barca don't even need anymore And I am sure u have ur list too. But what good is all this talk ?? For whatever reason, we are in this position (@porty what's so funny ?? U think inter will run away with it again ? please ) and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Today at work, i heard something very lifting .. i have two co-workers one supports Arsenal and the other United. They were talking about the EPL and all .. and the arsenal guy started mocking the team after Milan's game yesterday and about our season so far (of course it was as if Kurt was the one talking ) ... to make a long story short .. the united guy interrupted him and told him, "just pray that you don't meet them (Milan) in the CL, cuz in the league there team might seem weak but in the CL they are something else" ... And hearing this from a United fan whom told me last season that we were lucky at Old Trafford, now i hear this

But even in the league, Milan WILL bounce back ... this is the same team that crawled to 4th place and demolished all it's opponents to get crowned (twice). This is a very strong group of players, who have proven themselves to the whole world, just give the team some time .. Their game usually picks up at this stage of the season (in a week or two).

who says we cant , we only need to win 4 times to pass inter and they have to lose 4 times too its as simple as that !!!

@R7... I can't believe I'm reading this from a guy who's seen Sacchi's Milan! I don't want another such CL don't you understand already? I don't want us to not even compete in the league in order to win the CL, I just don't rate such a success highly. It would make me happy but not satisfied!

This is a club who could and more importantly SHOULD be fighting on all fronts. Maybe it's enough for you but not enough for me! I prefer the 04/05 squad and season to the last one! Back then we failed on everything but at least we went out fighting... that's when I was satisfied! No win but spirit, no triumph but blood and sweat on the f@cking shirt... to me it's not just success that matters, the way you win and lose is as important as anything else!

And that's what separates Milan from the rest... not just cold numbers!
