It's like I can hear him talk... I'm so sad...

By this point, our concern should be Samp not Fiorentina, because we are fighting for UEFA cup now not CL

u still have hope for 4th place

At least we're completely shite. Beyond shite.

Not even UEFA Cup this season.

I can see what's going to happen soon: Inter battering us in the derby, celebrating the scudetto and us celebrating the 7th place.

i do. There is still 7 games left and this week in milan, not even cafu will be smiling.

The dream was to see Milan beat Inter and hand Roma the scudetto. What's probably going to happen now is Inter beating Milan and kicking us out of the UEFA Cup places while celebrating their 16th Serie A title...

Ouch, bad result. I thought we were harshly treated with some key decisions, but still, Atalanta would have felt hard done by if they didnt walk away with all 3 points today.

We're in trouble now - we have to start talking risks with our line-ups. Anything less than 4th is not good enough.

I wrote that in September. Man. I wish I'd been wrong, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised with a finish that far down.

was silvio even at this game?

HAHA

All you can do is laugh. It was so f*ckin shite.

The only bright thing was pato and palo giving each other chances. Palo unlucky with great save and pato didn't connect well.

hmmm was he after samp game?? our hme form i think will be in bottom of the league

if we don't get 4th we will have a revolution garunteed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one...

Back then it was Baresi now it is Maldini...

But don't worry people, Don Silvio will be Prime Minister again in a fortnight. He'll lower the taxes and then we'll be able to buy players...

yeah prime minister? He is gonna get no support from the city of milan thats forsure.

Ha. Wouldn't surprise me. The election tents and posters were all over the place last week.

I cant believe that !

Things we've learned from this match:

1. Ancelotti is nervous. He started to smoke! That's a good sign. Either he'll be fired (note that Cesare was on the stands today). IMO we should ban Carlo and bring Cesare till season end and then call back Carlo..

2. Favalli is no worth. He's crossed from the list. If we need a LB we have Janku, Paolo, Kaladze, and the primaveras. Nesta is out of form and I'm glad he got the red card. Pirlo should also be excluded. He's becoming arrogant and I don't see any motivation. Any..

3. Seedorf is poor but still worth playing. He can play offensive actions.

4. The captain debate is solved IMO. Who should be Milan's next leader - the man who just quietly sunk with the teams lethargy (Gattuso), or the man who got a red card for doing don't know what, or Ambrosini who actually was our best man and gave us a penalty?? Did you see Ambrosini? He was the only one with intelligence and motivation. Respect.

5. Gilardino can pack his bags, he isn't worth trying any more.


I will make an appeal now: could we try stay behind our team till season end?
We can finish 4th, 5th, 6th or maybe 11th. No matter. When the season ends, we can shout and criticize. But now, could we make the effort and stay behind them. Even if they don't deserve to be 4th or to have support. It's our team, it's Milan and it's Maldini's last season.

Anyhow, there's no need to make any criticism. Why bother? Guys, just copy-paste your comments, it's allways the same problem with our team.

I still pray we finish 4th, still belive we can and will do it, even if the odds and common reason says the exact opposite. Let's leave that for June..

Pirlo pays the penalty... Channel4 headline. After suffering from watching this game I have to read channel4's stupid title that they post whenever someone misses a penalty. Can't they ****ing think of something else? This day is so ****ed up!!!

I reat an article that said, if Silvio become PrimeMinister, Milan will actually suffer since he'll not buy that many players in order not to loose voters who support other teams .... dont know how true it is!

may be it is time for his son to take over

exactly i agree with every point 100%, especially number 5. There is no reason to assume this is over. We have kaka back next week and i know things will change. Starting from now on the permanent starting positions that pirlo ambro seedorf gattuso/defence and etc have are in danger. Dont play well? there is the bench. Dont give up yet. 21 points is still alot.

I'm with you Fillipo.

That's simplistically dumb. Don Silvio can be President forever since his only rivals are Italy's left wing party who are more stupid than Kaladze!

I'm in.

I guess Gila is from left wing party.

Great post!!

Believe you are defeated, believe it long enough, and it is likely to become a fact..
Let's hope a miracle!!

How can they be in danger when there is no one on the bench that can take their place??

The only guys on the bench that I would willingly want to see starting are Bonera and Yoann (and we all know how Carlo feels about Yoan so that won't happen ) Simic might be another option but he hasn't played a competitve match since last season so not that reliable either. Carlo clearly has his favourites, it's like high school So we can forget that these guys will ever get the chance

no i believe yoann will get a chance.

I'm behind Milan no matter what happens !!!

I think we still can finish 4th but we need to fight for that

agreed. From now on these games must really be looked as champion league finals. We must play our best.

If we had another coach then yes, I would also be hopeful but Yoann can do nothing right in Carlo's eyes.

He makes the cross for the winning goal against Palermo, what does Carlo do in return? Play 3 defensive mids in the next game instead of giving him another chance to build up his confidence. He is a young player and he needs to feel that the club is behind him, having the coach do that to you would be a big blow for someone who is his age and is still trying to get into the team and gain confidence.

i can't wait to hear match conference.

we'll hear all the same sh!t....as always!

I'm with you man. I support the team. But they are making me so sad. I just can't be laughing right now...

I have not given up yet. If I had I would not care and post anymore. I'd wait till next season. But it won't happen if Milan keep on playing like this. Our game should have already improved...

WAKE UP RAGAZZI!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the reason??
Gourcuff's not good enough?
or any off-pitch problem that im unaware of?

I think I speak for all of us here when I say that everyone is behing this team no matter where we are, whether it's serie A or Serie Z, Intertoto or CL everyone here is behind the team.

But again, speaking for everyone here, we are all frustrated, with how the team is being run and coached. That's why this is a forum, we all come here to speak our oppinions and sometimes even vent our frustrations, which we all have a reason to right now.

But as I said, that doesn't mean that we are not still all 100% behind our team

He just does not like him. If we had a great bench then yeah Gourcuff would not fit but... he's trillion times better than Brocchi and Emerson combined!

We've been playing these finals for 4 game-weeks now.

And guess what! We lost 3 out of 4 finals

On the Gourcuff issue, I personally think it's because while he's got talent, he just isn't Milan quality. I know it's a minority opinion on the board, but while Gourcuff's first touch is good, his second...isn't. I also don't like the fact that he, in essence, cheats. Lots of obvious dives, putting the ball outside the little corner marker thingy for a corner to get an extra couple of inches, etc. I won't be upset next season if he's (as is likely) gone.

WTF ...pirlo can score a penalty on the final oof the WC
but
he cant score against coppola!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
::very very very angry face::

I'm as clueless as to why he treats him the way he does as you mate. I just can't understand.

Players like Ambro and Seedorf play a terrible match and they still get the start game in game out, Yoann makes a bad pass in a game after not player more then 10 minutes in months and he gets hauled off the pitch immediately, he plays a good game and he still doesn't get the start when he deserves it.

I don't know what he has to do to get a start and be worthy t play for Carlo, and then a player like Brocchi or Favalli are cr@p and still get in, without any problems.

U mean Carlo's stupid?

Our performances have been so convincing, we are making Pato play better and better with more determination every game... This is the team to learn from.

Frist lesson is from:

Seedorf: You stop a high ball gently with the cushion of your @ss and then you proceed with caution and slow movement until you are surrounded by 6 players. This is where you slowly look around and pass it back to Oddo. You ALWAYS pass it back to Oddo, the slowly looking around thing is just an uber trick Seedorf came up with to add a little drama to his play. Oddo will take it from here.

Oddo: OK, now you go deep and wait for his cross... Don't worry, it only takes him 18739717419874 times to get it right...

Now when it comes to motivation, Pato needs to look no further than Pirlo. OK, granted a cabbage has more motivation than Pirlo, but you will find it if you look hard enough.

For courage, you got a roll model in Dida, cheering you on and getting injured all at the same from the bench. His fighting spirit and masculine energy is just too much for the pitch.

For fitness, you've got your ideal man in Ronaldo. Name an injury and he has suffered through it. I even heard he got a strain in or around his @sshole for farting once... You be the judge... Now you ask me, why is he the ideal fitness model? Well, he is not... He can tell you 999 ways NOT to get injured though...

Then for technique you got your main man Brocchi... From fabulous elastico's to his trademark little midget stepovers, Brocchi is your to go guy.

More helpful lessons for our new boy Pato in the coming weeks. Stay tuned and enjoy your slow deaths everyone.

Here are the player ratings from milannews.it (the section of tuttomercatoweb devoted to Milan). They've put a heading on the ratings of 'Collective Disaster'.

Kalac 6
Oddo 4
- Brocchi 5.5
Maldini 5
Nesta 5
Favalli 4.5
- Kaladze sv
Gattuso 6.5
Pirlo 4
Seedorf 5
Ambrosini 6
Pato 5.5
Gilardino 4.5
- Paloschi 6.5

I agree with the ratings. Paloschi was the best player for Milan.

Milan quality? Who's played ahead of him? It's Brocchi and Emerson for ****s sake? Is that the Milan quality? Please... he's better than them. Everyone is. If I'm mistaken and those two are Milan quality then this should actually be considered a successful season!


No. Carlo has personal issues with Gourcuff.

was nesta direct red card?? he will miss juve game then i think

he was direct red

Wow... I think you just stole my words! so true!...

If he is not worthy of the Milan bench then neither are guys like Favalli and Brocchi, but not only are they much worse players then him but they still get the start before him. And who doesn't cheat in football these days? In fact it's a rarity to find a player who doesn't do it.

Imo it's all because Carlo doesn't like him, and nothing else. He's a classy enough player to be on our bench. We have far worse players on the bench then him

I'm going to agree to disagree with dst on the Gourcuff issue. But I know mine is the minority opinion here.

And yep, I do think Nesta got a straight red. It was for dissent too.
