Milan chief fires title warning at Inter and Juve [soccernet.com]

December 18, 2008


AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has warned Inter Milan and Juventus that his side are still very much in the hunt for the Scudetto.

The Rossoneri were beaten 4-2 at Juve on Sunday and go into this weekend's home game against strugglers Udinese nine points behind Serie A leaders Inter.

Nevertheless, the Milan chief is adamant the title remains his target for the season despite the high number of injuries weighing on the mind of coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is without the likes of Kaka and Gennaro Gattuso.

''Our Scudetto ambitions remain the same,'' said Galliani. ''We believe we have an ultra-competitive side. We just need a bit of health as we have seven players out injured and that is a lot.

''Last season we won two trophies and we hope to win something this campaign. We are still in contention for the Scudetto and the UEFA Cup.''

Milan will have a special guest at the San Siro this weekend with David Beckham, who will join the Rossoneri on a loan deal from Los Angeles Galaxy in January, set to attend the game.

Jose Mourinho's Inter will focus on ending Siena's unbeaten run at home on Saturday...

Haha, vintage Galliani. He's probably say the same if we were 19 points behind. Seriously, dude I haven't given up ship just yet, but we should have been 3 points ahead by now, or at the very least tied with inter - not 9 points behind.

I should have known this was a Galliani article from the title..

If we win the league now, it's all Beckhams doing! The presence of his awesomeness will give the team the boost they need.

Yeah our players will run faster... I know I'd run away at the presence of a male wearing g-strings!

Even if he offered to spank you, dst?

No, then dst will have second thoughts. FACT.

But hey, gotta hand it out to Beckham - how he's lived with Posh Spice. She isn't terribly special, nor terribly beautiful. Fits the definition of WAGs. And for a handsome guy like him settling down with her for so long is great. Sort of like Sheva and his wife. No offense but they both deserved better. Maldini is really luck when it comes to partners. His wife is amazing.

Yeah, it's their life and they're enjoying it, so I'm not complaining!

I'm being mocked by a guy who has CR on his sig... can't go any lower!

Can anyone else name the movie that this thread's title comes from?

Galaxy Quest starring Alan Rickman?

Well done, acid! Fishdoll doesn't take a cookie away today.

^^^ oh i remember those lines when they advertised it.

too bad time allen never did anything of note after home improvement (which was a nice show) besides the yearly cheesy christmas movie where he plays santa, and involves a min. of one scene where he falls off a rool
