Thanks for the non mention...AGAIN!!!

Haha, I think that's Benito Carbone

+1

I love the way we are playing.

Look, I will be happier than anyone else on here if Allegri turns out to be the next big thing. but it's just way too early to say he's proven himself. 'so far so good' or something along that line would be more appropriate.

Yep Dinho s running like crazy.

Also we're seeing Pato oing from right to left a lot, while Dinho is drifting from left to center and letting Seedorf be ahead of him, unlike last season where we were very static.

The key imo is the fact that Pirlo is so free, or he's just making it look that way because he just looks like he's in his world cup form

The same smart people that wanted to sell Ronnie and that can't see how ready the team is!

Great attitude and spirit shown so far. Confident as if allegri has the players knowing exactly what he wants them to do. Great first half, keep it up lads!

And yeah R80 tracking back, will be checking youtube for that clip tomorrow

Forza Milan!!!

You beat me to it. This is exactly the problem(for Lecce). If Lecce change this up, they will be more competitive with us.

Pirlo has been marvelous, a huge turnaround from his friendlies performances. Very impressed.

Ronaldinho. Wow. Pato. Wow. Magnificent.

Wow, Pato could've had 4-5 goals today.

Ok so you don't think that he made a great job when you see how ready we are?

You were never away for months, were you? if so, then you were dearly missed too!

Best I have seen us play in years. I don't know how true it is that Lecce's lineup is mostly youngsters, and if that is true I will slightly reserve judgement about how good we actually are, but there does seem to be a smoothness and understanding between the players that's been missing for a long time. Allegri may just have completely overhauled this team's mentality.

More of the same in the second half.

Full time, surely. I'm not too much into one night stands. And part of that is because I finished a couple of things (language and design courses among others), last week, so my schedule has eased up a bit. Great to be back among friends.


Word. I was pleasantly surprised to see all three back. And well we can thank Ibra for bringing back Porty, I guess. Fingers crossed everyone stays a while now, Milanfan is much richer and vibrant with the regular posters around.


He'll be back, I'm 100%. Just wait a bit. Milanfan's favorite son/daughter can't stay out for too long!

I agree. But I will say his start is stupidly better than Leo's was.

RAI showing the presentation live. Ibra holding up jersey etc etc etc. Waving to the crowd, all that good stuff.

i'm stuck with commercials on FSC

I am so behind the times these days that I only found out before kick off that we'd signed him

Yeah, we're off to a great start, but some people are really getting carried away here. It's only the first HALF of the first game of the season, and Lecce are anything but a powerhouse.

Allegri hasn't proven anything yet. It's his first game (preseason means nothing, like in the NFL), and please let's not start the "...and people wanted to sell Dinho" rhetoric already. There's 37 more games to go, plenty of time for guys to start sucking and us duly demanding their heads on a stick.

yes i was and you're liaring

wow.....i'm speechless. Allegri is simply World Class. To get our squad to move so dynamically and freely yet in an organized manner is just.... wow.


We look like an orchestra with Pirlo as its conductor

He's Benny alright. And his English is almost as good as my Italian, LOL. I wonder whether his nickname is Captain Obvious. At least he think hard before speaking, though. Nothing against the man, I'm sure he's a gentleman, but boy his speaking sills need a brush up. A huge brush up!

Appreciate the heads up, of course. Thanks!

I bet that x-off is still watching this game saying Ronnie is shite, doesn't track back, slows up play, etc, etc

This certainly isn't Barca or Inter or Man U. But the point is that we look fluit, fit and just plain determand, something I haven't seen in quite a while.

Also was that the doctor Pato kept going to hug after his goals?

The nature of the football fan Miz. We've suffered so much that any slight nugget of positivity is latched onto like a leech. If people wanna go OTT about things, I won't begrudge them it. As long as they can handle it if and when things are ever so slightly less peachy.

One thing I will say - Lecce were the type of side we'd normally struggle against, so to be horsing them is the way things SHOULD be.

how happy does Zlatan look..hopefully that will translate into the world class player i think he is

Hey, take it easy. Enjoy the moment. Don't be a debbie downer until Lecce come back on us.

Agreed

Boy sucks to be you. If I had my way, FSC would have been buried under a pile of dog pukies. One of the worst channels I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Of all time. Bad commentary, and even worse ads. Lots of and lots of them. Bah!

Much happier than Huntelaar looked when he joined us.

I suspect he will frustrate and amaze in equal measure. I hope his ego isn't as ridiculous as it has been in the past. Maybe his rather unfulfilling time at Barca will have brought him back down to earth.

Awesome!


All four ( )




Well, Leo was an absolute rookie, and the mood at Milan wasn't the best. Kaka had just left and we hadn't done anything noteworthy in the market. not trying to defend Leo here but I think these reasons played a part in our slow start (we won at Siena if memory serves but the game wasn't the best).

Wait, so I'm missing something by not listening to the english commentary? Darn!

Okay guys, I know Allegri has to be praised, but please not that Lecce has a nonexistent defensive midfield, their marking of Pirlo and Ambrosini is awfull, and they fielded a pretty young defense.

He looked quite cheerful, genuinely so. Wearing the club polo and holding up the jersey. The red carpet was a bit much but, well, we're the club with player names in gold lettering so....

Meh i'll find the full presentation later somewhere.

Yeh the commentary they got this Italian dude who speaks broken english,he's made some good calls though.

Also, unless Lecce suddenly score a couple of goals, this might be a godo game to let the kids have a few minutes. Any of them on the bench? Haven't seen pictures of bench.

D'Agostino equalizes for Fiorentina. Nice shot from the edge of the area.

Thank for the credit my friend!


Btw. yes it's Benito Carbone, ex-interista - hilaroius, he's like Peter Sellers doing the indian-english accent.

Pippo first, then the kids.

Pleasure, mate. Always a pleasure!


This man speaketh the truth. And not only the club's face had left (Kaka), the icon too retired (Maldini). We lost the first two matches then. As for Allegri well, great start, but I will reserve the final verdict till after the last match. For what it matters, anything less than a very strong challenge to the death for the Scudetto should be a disappointment, considering the squad we have. That, and good showings in the CL. Semis, anyone?

And while we are at it, I've got a feeling Pato will get his first hatrick today. Never a better time, I say!

I was gonna mention that. anyone remember that awful night at Lecce two seasons ago?! when Carlo subbed in the mighty Emerson (!) and we conceded the equalizer 30 seconds later? I've always kind of hated Lecce cause they always put us in trouble.




I'll have this in mind for the next time lol.

Samp 1-0 Lazio. Goal Cassano (pen).

Milan now dropped a bit of their pace. We should make a sub now.

hope they will score more goals today :D:D

If we maintain this tempo Lecce could score.

Quite probably.


Not much, LOL, beside a few good laughs. Oh, and Benito Carbone worshiping R80 like crazy, and stating that Thiago Silva is his favorite player, and Milan players having incredible mentality (he said this 20 times already), and stuff like that. The other commentator is pretty okay, I must say.


Yeah, tell me about it. Well at least Max Bretos resigned FSC this year (and joined ESPN). Boy, that guy was a recipe for sore ears. Arrogant to boot, and half the time he got the names of players wrong.

Oh my god. how did I forget Maldini?! shame on me!

Yeah, still remember that pesky game.

Someone in a milan jersey ready to come in...on, curses. THAT would've been spectacular if it weren't offside.

Pippo for Borriello.

Pippo hope he wil score

Its SuperPipo time!

Goal dissalowed, but this should have been a penalty (handball).

Pippo ON!
