And I cant see us wining more points, it's impossible, Pato will be back in the game vs Fiorentina.
Against Sampdoria Pirlo,Th.Silva,Pato,Nesta are missing for sure and Bonera is in doubt. I'm mentioning just players from first XI.

We basically have to run the table, which as has been noted, is extremely unlikely. And even then it might not be enough. We really needed to win that game yesterday.

I heard on the News that Maldini can be back for 5 last games.
Galliani and Leonardo invited him officialy and Maldini told that he is very pleased with this offer but nothing is set yet.
I would really like Maldini back instead of seeing Favalli and Kaladze for the rest of the games.

Ask yourself the following: do you want Kaladze in a defence that will soon be up against Miccoli, Cassano, Pazzini, Gilardino and Jovetic? Or Maldini?
I would object for the sole reason that it would kinda suck for him to have a commemorative plate with five games missing... yes, I actually care about these things.

Paolo Maldini Will Not Return & Play For Milan - Cesare MaldiniQUOTE
Paolo Maldini will not come out of international retirement and play for Milan, says his father Cesare, following reports the former defender declined an offer to return.
Earlier, Il Corriere della Sera claimed Maldini had been approached by Milan chief Adriano Galliani and coach Leonardo. Both men asked whether he felt like returning to plug the gaps in Milan's defence for the season's finale. But the club legend declined.
Cesare has now confirmed his son will not come out of the shadows to play for the Rossoneri.
"I was stunned when I read these things in the paper," Maldini told Tuttomercatoweb.com.
"Paolo is like me in terms of character and sticks to decisions. If he makes a decision then that's the way it will be.
"He is attached to Milan, this is obvious, but he made an important decision last year and he retired happily, therefore I cannot see how he would have second thoughts."

Maldini has 25 years of top class football behin him, I doubt 10 months will have an effect on that.

Apr 13 2010, 11:43 PM
The official theory (not stated in the press release on Cagliari's website) is because Cagliari has taken 2 points from the last 9 games.
There's an awful lot of speculation in Italy that it's because Allegri is in the running or has gotten one of the soon-to-be vacant head coaching jobs at a bigger club.

I don't look at that website on principle, Protagonist. But there are a lot of wiretaps out there that have been released in the last ten days or so. Most of the ones being discussed in the Italian media involve Moratti, Facchetti, and various referees/referee designators.

Effing unbelievable.
So tomorrow is merda-gobbi. The gobbi went into ritiro at a hotel in a small town just outside Milan tonight. And a group of the Viking ultras (40 or so) were there. They egged the team bus, yelled obscenities, and started throwing flares (one into the hotel courtyard). The police arrived and backed them off (why they weren't all arrested is beyond me) but the hotel is now under armed guard.
link to Gazzetta article.
Way to go in supporting the team before a very important match.
All ultras should just be dropped into a big pit. Or maybe that Icelandic volcano. They're nothing more than organized mobs.

I think it's Stefano Guberti (who is also a Samp player).
And they were backed away from the hotel but they don't seem to have been arrested at least according to the latest reports.

I don't think it was boring at all! There were several near fights and some very choppy play but it was actually rather enjoyable to watch, at least for me. I was surprised to see Cannavaro finally playing like a decent defender (one of the very few times he's done so this year). I'm also perversely amused by Sneijder's complete tantrums when calls don't go his way.

Ascoli watch update: Actually saw the Ancona-Ascoli game today. It was a spirited - sometimes mean-spirited - game. Five sendings off, ended up with 8 Ancona players and 9 Ascoli players on the pitch at the end of the game.
FT Ancona 1-2 Ascoli. Ascoli are in 11th in the league, absolutely safe for next year. Well done to them.
Also FT Verona 2-0 Livorno, nice display from the donkeys.
