I didn't watch the match but i can't believe my eyes..Milan top of Serie A after a long time..Highlights please...Ronnie helped us against Inter now its against Napoli...Thank God we won...I was looking at some of the comments on forum.acmilan-online when it was 3 mins left and twas like ma heart almost stopped....Neways Forza Milan...I love this team!!!

Wow we're first... EVERYTHING went our way and FINALLY an OG saved us.

Hamsik, Santacroce... Napoli's best two players injured. Maggio sent off. Penalty. Then finally OG. Wow.

Ronaldinho I think was our worst player. He was holding us back and he even made Cannavaro look great. Should have been taken off.

Gattuso was MOM and Lavezzi was unstoppable!

The most important thing is that we bagged the 3 points!

Btw their GK was WAY off his line... the penalty was soft though, our 3rd soft penalty in a row?

It's Jesus.

I fixed it earlier, 10e.

I'd rather have us at the top on our own merits rather than from an own goal. We were hot and cold today.

Re the penalty: looked to me like a clear handball in the area. Unless I'm totally on crack, that's a penalty.

does anyone has a spare calculator i broke mine when r80 scored forgetting what i will be using for my test tomarrow i am screwed

Couldn't have said it better..

Sure, I'll PM it to you.

Napoli was too agressive and all of them was their fault , we have many in attacks so they are forced to penalize.

naploli went definsive after second half and i think that cost them the point

Fishdoll awards a cookie to Favalli. He did quite well given who he was up against -- I was sure we'd concede given who was in defense and the power of the attack facing us.

From what I've heard, Iezzo was a rock in goal today. We're still making opposing league GKs look Buffonesque.

It's matches like this one that win you the title

Still, more then 60% of matches to play. A lot of things to do, and so little time,..

""PENALTY TO MILAN!!! The Napoli players are furious with the decision, as Kaka's ball in strikes the hand of Pazienza from just one yard away. A very harsh decision by the referee, however his decision has been made, and the penalty will stand."

'The referee pointed to the spot with eight minutes to go for a handling offence on Kaka's cross, but it seemed an extremely harsh decision. Pazienza was very close to the ball and it appeared to be ball-to-hand. Mil"

" The REFEREE GIVES MILAN A PENALTY - The ball smashes off Pazienza's hand on the edge of the box from a Kaka cross and the referee gives a penalty - very harsh as his hand was down - what was he supposed to do?"

I've seen those decisions go either way..are u saying I'm on crack =/

I don't doubt it.

Pazienza's arms were both well away from his body and not in 'natural' positions. The commentary...well, I disagree.

And why the **** are we bickering anyway? Milan got the 3 points, they won the game, and they're in first place.

Pato... *sigh* what a miss

For some weird reasons he can't be himself when Ronaldinho's on the pitch... also I doubt if his teammates passed the ball to him more than 2 or 3 times. but he wasn't good and this time even I will admit it. that ******* header should have went in!



Even 3 points can't make me feel better after almost 70 minutes of sh1tty Milan. we're not convincing at all but we're winning. kinda strange.

That was a clear penalty. He blocked the ball with his in the area = penalty.

Somebody please post a picture of the updated table so we can all enjoy the **** out of it!!!!

FORZA GATTUSO!!!

It's good that we are in 1st place now. I mean, Ancelotti's Milan always starts slow and they only kick into second gear after Christmas!

Who's bickering? We're all concurring about Darunia's illegal drug preference.

we mite not have played that gud in second half but we played attacking football and got a reward for that and i am happy now that kaka missed the penelty otherwise u know some woud have said ohh milan were lucky with another penelty win

Your every wish is my command, master! Oh, the sweet taste of success! Now if it all just continues till round 38, it'll cap off a great transfer season and a great year for everyone! Oh, the table:

If Milan was on top more often... maybe I wouldn't have to go to such extremes

Anyways, life is good now. Kaladze is back, Senderos and Nesta make their return midweek, somehow we're top of the table with Favalli playing CB. Pretty dang good.

Anyway, looking at the table, we also have the most number of victories (7), and the least amount of goal conceded (also 7) tied with both inter and Juve. They may have great goalkeepers, while we have a great defense. Abbiati, I think will lose some of his gloss as the season progresses; his aerial abilities are exposed every match. Hopefully it is enough to land us the Scudetto.

Leece up next..

and Inter vs. Udinese next week...

Yeah, Abbiati has been making Gomes like blunders lately... lucky he hasn't been punished.

A lot could be said about this encounter ... But the 3 points remains the priority when you consider this team's push for the Scudetto.

I think Milan played rather well, being disciplined and precise throughout the game. The possession football and the movement from one side to another is also a highlight. Also, Seedorf was the highlight of the match, he brought the team together and produced a real good display.

Bonera - Favalli were good !! The weakest points of the team, but they kept Napoli's threat at the minimum. But also thanks to the hard work of Ambrosini and Gattuso who really ran the show in the engine room.

About the penalty .. I think it wasn't a penalty, simple because the player's arm was close to his body and didn't have it stretched out .. And Ronaldinho's freekick, sure the ball got deflected into goal, but that ball was a beauty when watching it on replay for three different angles.



All in all, it was a heated encounter .. And consider the 90 mins of game time, Milan had the game within their grasps .. By the end of half time, Milan should have had 2 or 3 goals !

he is not in UEFA squad

It's funny you should mention Gomes, because he's been getting roasted on a spit lately from the English press.

Fishdoll owner: We're happy to FINALLY be atop the table, yet it wasn't in the fashion that we'd hoped, with generally poor play and an own goal.

TOP OF THE LEAGUE GRANDE MILAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was watching the match at a net cafe , little did i know some Napoli supporters were on another computer behind me lol they were so pee'd off when they left lol they were like " You were lucky " my reply was " Yeah, sure , sure "

That's what I thought too but..

"The coach also talked about the injured players and the Alexandre Pato's start to the season: "I think that both Nesta and Senderos could come back next week against Braga. Pato still has some limits, which he is trying to eliminate in this period. He especially needs to learn to be more ruthless and confident inside the area."" - Carlo

so I don't know

very nicly done the summary or review of the game

my ratings:

Abbiati - 6.5 Looked shaky at times... but did pull off a couple of good saves.
Zambro - 7.5 good pace going forward
Bonera - 7.5 showing real professionalism lately..
Favalli - 7 good performance when called up like this
Janku - 7.5 went on some explosive runs, earned the red card
Gattuso - 8.5 so much energy coming off him
Ambro - 7 decent game, lost focus at times
Seedorf - 7 despite the absence of Pirlo, he won the ball in midfield couple of times
Kaka - 7.5 created good spacing through out the game, unlucky on the post.. he can score so many penalties consistently
Ronaldinho - 8 Scored the goal and unlucky to be denied by an amazing save in the first half
Boreillo - 6.5 Not impressed with his "Gila" showing.

nesta probably will train with the team he cant play the game bcoz he is not in the squad this just shows carlo has been strange lately speciily after the subs he made today

Thank you. He's a kid, and you know what, this miss will only do him good. Bring him some much needed experience as well as build his nerves. He's lucky to still be playing in Serie A (ask Paloschi), and the great player he is, I'm sure he's soaking it all in to explode when his time comes. That missed chance, however, was just meh. I literally celebrated while he was about to head it, knowing he can't miss from there.


Neither does it me, believe me! But I'll play shitty and win 3 points than play good and lose all, any given Sunday!


It was harsh because it was unlucky for the Napoli player. It wasn't intentional from him. But the referee made the right call, and so did you. 99/100 it'd be a penalty, a player playing on world level should learn to keep his hands away from the ball.


He was. And you should see it. Sell Abbiati. Buy Iezzo (weird name and all).

As long as we get the points we cannot complain too much about our display. We sure have to be sharper and more decisive but tonight we got the 3 points and we'll be able to work on that in peace.

Plus Ari is back!

Y'know, it just hit me that we're in FIRST PLACE without either Nesta or Pirlo (aside from a couple of the early games) having played. If someone told me this six months ago, I wouldn't have believed them.

i still owe u a Maldini signature

Yeah, but it brings out the naysayers: "Oh, Milan wouldn't be in first place without an own goal, Napoli had 10 men," and other such rigamarole. I want us to erase doubts from people's minds.

And I wanna be the king of my own world...

3 years. 3 years without being in the 1st place.

Forza Milan!

You also owe us an apology for disappearing for so long!


Oh, that's not a problem. If I were you I'd say funk the naysayers. They were always there when we last won the league. When we won the CL in 2003 and 2007, and they sure as hell will be there when we finish this season as champions. Tell them we've won 11 out of 12 matches running, how much have you won? Sure they'll say they were against lesser opponents, but in my humble opinion, Milan's biggest challenge has been overcoming these smaller pests - the Juves, Romas, Fiorentinasand inters we can handle.

You see, I'm a man of simple tastes! As long as Milan win the league and the UEFA cup, and Gila finishes as top scorer in Serie A, I'm set, baby! As an extra topping throw in both inter and Juve missing out on CL next season, if you feel generous, but that's it.


Which I'm sure you are. Aren't you?


I was looking forward to your comment. Forza Milan!

We are top of Serie A, we played with desire and determination, our players were sweating blood on the pitch against such an exciting and young team and I honestly can't complain. If anything, I'll have to praise our players for such a show. This was a match that could have gone either way and we knew it before it even started. Now that we won, I'm only grateful. I don't need to wish that we won like this or that. Don't need to wish anything. We're already leading the table. At least until next match-week.

FORZA MILAN!!
