and carlo said he would rest the important players...
i wouldn't mind to sub him with seedorf

(belatedly) Forza PIPPO!

why a brace? he just scored one goal...didn't he??

Janku about to come on

kaka out jankulovski in

janku for kaka what is this

Yes, the other was an own goal pippo never touched it

i want it to be 4-0

it's 3-0 buddy

Janku on
Kaka off

Probably switched to 4-4-2

Janku and Flamini on the wings Pato and Dinho upfront

Great save Dida

1 of them was an own goal though...

i know that, but that doesn't mean that pippo scored two goals

dang Pato almost...should've scored

man pato...

class from pato right there...

some sites said pippo just checked uefa official they are saying own goal so yea one goal for pippo

Pato so close, keeper saves with his trailing foot

penalty for Heerenveen...damn u Favalli...u ruined our clean sheet

There goes the cleansheet, nice one Favster

Penalty is scored

favilli has done his magic penelty for them

what the **** did he do??

Dida so close to a clean sheet


oh well

nice shot by emerson

shhhheshh if carlo sees this he will play more often

hand ball by milan in the box but the refree didn't see it

Clean sheet doesn't really matter in these kinds of games...

Yeah, but it's still a nice thing to have after a game finishes, especially after the last couple of seasons where we have been letting goals in in almost every game

FT Heerenveen 1-3 Milan

beucase it's heerenveen

3-1 ft

Damn, judging on live commentaries it looks like Pato had a couple of chances in those 20 minutes. wish he could score. it's been a while



That's right. but I still think the players don't really take these games seriously. that's why I'd rather we try for a clean sheet when it really matters ie the league games.

A good win!


It did not look like he cared too much... The kid should put more effort into his game no matter how much time he's given or against which team it is!

Point taken.

Well we got what we wanted, which is a win without putting in too much of an effort. Next stop Atalanta, hopefully we'll get all 3 points there, if we do we'll probably be second or third come Monday morning. I have a feeling that the early high flyers like Lazio, Udine and Napoli will start to drop off as the weeks wear on, and with Roma and Juve lagging behind so much this is our chance to get second place, a spot we haven't occupied in the league since 05/06

Regarding the Pato statements above...Pato needs to work on his finishing and one-on-ones in particular.

Good Result Overall for us. We could have certainly had a better game performance-wise.
(I am judging based on what I saw b4 my stream began to break up, so it was a bit more difficult to distinguish what was actually happening afterwards)

Dida seems to be looking better in each Cup game. Damn Favalli for fudging our clean sheet, which would've meant one goal in three matches.

It doesn't matter who we're playing; pitching a shutout is always a good thing and a nice morale booster.

in the other game of our group brage is 3-0 up against pompey

how come we rarely win with more than 3 goals against weak teams?
I mean look what Barca did to Basel ...

We're lucky we scored 3 goals with the team Carlo put out yesterday

Rino, Puma and Flamini in the center speaks for itself. This is Carlo's way, no one likes it but until he's out on his @ss we'll have to live with it

han dear...I love you like a brother, but one of these days i'mma break your neck.



I really don't see the point in sweating out an away match against Herenveen. And a 2 goal margin for victory is good enough as far as I'm concerned.

Besides no one seems to criticize Inter's 1-0 over Anorthorsis or some wierd club like that. And it was a club from Cyprus.

Emerson needs to play, Zee needs the rest...Sheva needs to play...I really have no complaints about the team formation. Favalli as centre back...well it's been a long time since he's played that position, and that too with Bonera. I'll forgive him.

Not sure about Darmian though. Since Antonini is getting enough playing time, I wonder what it is about Darmian that keeps him benched.

I wonder you wonder

I stopped wondering...that b!tch is doing drugs for sure. Just like Borriello. That's why. It must be an off-field reason.

I was thinking of you when I wrote that dear Jack

Puma needs to play? Puma needs to be given a good kick in the @ss and then be on his way, that's what he needs. I'm not saying play Seedorf but there could be other alternatives then to play with those 3 defensive mids in the middle. But Carlo will play them at any opporutnity he gets since we know it's his constant wet dream

As for Inter, I don't really care what they're doing to be honest. I'll take notice though when they emberass themselves in Europe once again and we'll be able to laugh

On the Darmian issue, the problem is is that he is below the age of 25 therefore Carlo considers him a baby, he'll start calling him a prospect for the future when he's been loaned out a billion times and he's 26 years old like Antonini and Boriello.

You want a war...fine! Choose your weapons you stinking barrel of single malt (pun intended) whisky!



Puma needs to play. We paid for him and are paying him. And he's very good, better than Ambro. And he played very well and was noticed too. In almost all the match reports I read.

Not play Seedorf, but there are other alternatives to 3 DMs?? Erm no bro. There aren't. Not until Becks comes in. Except for Zee and Pirlo all our remaining mids are DMs.


Darmian issue? Trust me, he's doing drugs or partying too much. Not pulling his weight in training too I bet. Sell Darmian, give Favalli a raise.

I'd love to see that day but I'm not sure if that will happen. I think with Mourinho that lack of self-confidence among the players and performing way below their potential in big games is all but gone. Moratti looks stupid but I think he made a smart move when he kicked Mancio out and brought Mou in. this season they look more likely to break their European jinx than ever. if they're destined to fail again, I guess, it won't be lack last season i.e. not in an embarrassing fashion.

I think any loss would be slightly embarassing regardless of the circumstances. It always is especially when you've thumped out your objectives. We were embarassed against Arsenal whatever the circumstances. Mourinho's Chelsea were embarassed by Liverpool. Similarly Inter have all but stated that 'This is the season'. So anything less than a final 4 appearance would be kinda humiliating.

The only good thing is with Mourinho in charge, they players won't make complete @sses of themselves and disgrace the club like they did that night in Valencia.

I've heard that numerous times.

So I picked up a print copy of Gazzetta today after a meeting downtown.

Here are their player ratings for the game:

Dida 6.5
Antonini 6.5
Bonera 6.5
Favalli 6
Zambrotta 6
Emerson 6.5
Flamini 6.5
Kaka 6.5
Shevchenko 6
Inzaghi 6.5
Ronalidnho 6
Pato 6
Gattuso 7 (MOM)

Pardon my French, but all the highlight clips available on YouTube suck ***. I'm interested in seeing Dida's second-half save.

Please, create topic for Her-Milan pics. Anyone?
