Milan vs Lille in UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE..Discussion,possible results and other..


:3band:Ale,ale ROSSONERI aleee. :3band:

[PhildeLille]

Hi Guys !

I do not know how many we will be in san Siro (the name we all care about)
Could you tell me what are the pubs/ places not to miss ?
Regarding the game: I think we have a chance since we must fight to get something whereas Milan has got it all cooked.
I hope a 0-1 or 1-2

[Dr Milano]

This game is a tough one - this isnt cagliari , messina , athens or anything

Milan must put out a good team and try to win ... :de3:


p.s i hope to see many changes in January :musk:

[PhildeLille]

We have won away tonight 1-3 in Nancy (the ones who defeated Feyenoord last week 3-0)
Unfortunatly we have lost our goal keeper, Sylva, who broke his hand.
The replacement is not very good.

We have to beat Lille 3:0... R.Olieveira, Gilardino, Kaka

[Milan_Mad]

I just found out from acmilan.com that GRAHAM POLL will be the ref am confused how he gets a high profile game like this, every time ive seen him ref in the prem this season he has been really time after time he is leave alone the world cup he had.

[rossoneri]

milan will beat lille

[Tony29.]

milan will beat lille
I don't want to dissapoint you but whenever Milan was in similar situation, Milan wasn't winning. Not because Milan couldn't have beaten all those teams in the past, but because Milan is also an Italian team. And when Italians don't need the win, they don't win - simple as that !

In 2004 Milan didn't need any points against Celtic in the last round, and Milan didn't win ( it ended 0:0) . In 2003 Milan didn't need the points against Celta Vigo because Milan allready won the group, and Milan lost 1:2 at home.
In 2002 Milan played the last group match ( in 2nd phase groups) at home against Dortmund, after allready securing the first place in the group, and Milan lost 0:1. In the same year, in first phase of the groups Milan played the last match again at home, and again after allready being first no matter what happens, against La Coruna, and again you lost 1:2.

As you can see, everytime in last 5 years when Milan didn't need the points in the last round, Milan was always loosing, and once they drew.

Ok, the situation is different now. Ancelotti can be in trouble if he loses another match. But i feel he'll give a rest to some players who must be rested if we know how many matches they need to play for 90 minutes, until the injured guys come back.

On the other hand, Lille desperately needs the points, and if we have in mind that Lille will be 100% motivated and give 101% of them, and they'll play against Milan's "reserves" , then i wouldn't be suprised if Milan won't win this one !

There's already a thread open buddy...

I mixed the threads, so here it goes again :)

[zlatanov]

given how many injuries we have, it would be just plain stupid to play a full strength or near full-strength squad and not give rest to players like Brocchi, kaka, Simic, maldini, Janku who have been playing regularly over the past couple of months.
Pirlo could be given a run since he is suspended in Serie A anyway.
If the situation was dif and we had all our players available, I would be pushing for Milan to win even this unimportant for us game but now going for a win with our best available players would be just asking for more injury-related problems.
I would like to see us play some young players and if they manage to pull it off great, if not then at least they will get some first hand CL experience.

[Jeff]

GL

That's why I told my AEK-supporter friend that beating Milan won't help if Milan still qualify lol.

[Graeme C]

i would start with Borriello and Gila for this match, build up this partnership... Oli-gila one isnt working! Maybe start alot of youngsters..

[Egoistka]

I dont think that Kaka will play against Lille...

[hitmannq8]

Kaka was rested to play in this game. I really think that Kaka wants to win the top goalscorer in CL this year, and I think he will play the full game just like how he played all the other games. Also Galliani said 3 times already that Kaka will play on Wednesday.

I dont think it'll be an attractive performance, but we might score a goal if we're lucky. I think 1-1 will suit us. Then our next CL-game will be against Barcelona at Nou Camp. We will draw and then beat them at the San Siro and qualify. Then comes the Euro DERBY. We're gonna win with the help of the referee. Semi's against Real Madrid, confident 4-0 with a 2-0 here and there. Then final we will lose to Lyon after having a 2 goal lead. :tired:

[Jeff]

Then final we will lose to Lyon after having a 2 goal lead. :tired:

2:0 won't be enough. 3:0 will ring everyone's bell and won't work either. 4:0 will do :)

[Xudong]

i would start with Borriello and Gila for this match, build up this partnership... Oli-gila one isnt working! Maybe start alot of youngsters..

I happen to have the same feeling. :D Will Borriello turn out to be some big shot? :grinser:

also, for your information, Oliveira isn't exactly old, he is only two years older than Borriello and Gila. :bri: But I guess I just like Italians. :coffee:

[ac-milan]

Are u sure Barcelona go to the next phase? I don`t think.I think verder can draw with Barca..When they play at home,Barca score in 93 minute.And if u watch match with Chelsea.They(chelsea) won`t let Werder to win,because they hope to meet Barcelona in final,or before.Because they wait for revenge to Barcelona.And i like Verder footbal,they play soo ofensive.Soo i think Verder can draw with Barca...and i hope that....Milan vs Lille..I alredy say..Milan need this win.I think Milan won`t let Lille to win!

[NAMMY]

Squad, from acmilan.com:

GOALKEEPERS: Kalac, Fiori, Facchin.
DEFENDERS: Antonelli, Bonera, Kaladze, Maldini, Jankulovski, Simic. MIDFIELDERS: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gourcuff, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf.
STRIKERS: Borriello, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Ricardo Oliveira.

[Debs]

:wallbang:

I'm just gritting my teeth...a headline like this from Carlo...the man doesn't inspire me one bit, even with his reasoning... :wth:

Ancelotti wants useless win Tuesday 5 December, 2006

I can't even make myself post the article...here's the link...

http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/dec5k.html

[zlatanov]

not sure I see your point, Debs ... that stupid headline is what the journalists came up with ... has nothing to do with what Carlo was quoted of saying - at least I didn't see anything remotely close to it in the article above.

[Debs]

:wallbang: Even seeing that someone else would read into something Carlo said as beeing a "worthless win"....well, it came from something he said or it would not be worded Ancelotti wants a worthless win...

Inspire me....say instead "we want to win so that it boosts our confidence," don't mealy-mouth around so someone can interpret it as wanting a worthless win... :p1510:

[Mystik]

He said nothing that could even be interpreted to mean that. Journalists having fun I assume..?

[zlatanov]

:wallbang: Even seeing that someone else would read into something Carlo said as beeing a "worthless win"....well, it came from something he said or it would not be worded Ancelotti wants a worthless win...

too many assumptions, Debs ... after all, it's article-sellers we are dealing with here.
He never said anything that could possibly be interpreted as a "worthless win" ... unless someone really wanted to sell ... mhm, sorry "see" it that way. :sagrin:

[SANT]

My line up would be as follows... I added their ages...

------------------------Kalac(33)----------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
---Bonera(25)---Simic(31)---Maldini(38)---Jankulovski(29)
-------------------------------------------------------
-------Brocchi(30)------Pirlo(27)-----------------------
--------------------------------------Gourcuff(20)-----
------------------Kakà(24)-----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
------------Borriello(24)--------Gilardino(24)------------

[Warro Bantan]

I just found out from acmilan.com that GRAHAM POLL will be the ref am confused how he gets a high profile game like this, every time ive seen him ref in the prem this season he has been really time after time he is leave alone the world cup he had.

Milan_Mad...this game may be many things, but a high profile game it is not.

It doesnt matter to Milan if we win this or no...it may, and probably does matter to Lille...but how do you say this is high profile? Because it is in the UCL? As England´s most highly regarded ref (by the FA dude, the FA, not Joe Public), UEFA had to give him a game, and, since everyone but the English FA know he is bullocks, they gave him this "useless" game.

Debs...I think u r reading a little too much into this, and allowing your anti-Ancelotti bias to affect your usually astute reasoning...I agree with Zlat...you have bought what the journalists were selling...

Let me ask you this Debs...say you were not an AC Milan fan...would you stop to read an article about Milan and Lille, were the headline to read: "Milan field full strength team, though already through to last 16" ....?

Doubt it...but, the headline is catchy, even for the neutral...since thoretically there is no such thing as a useless win..or useless goals for that matter...but that is another argument entirely.

[ac-milan]

Milan_Mad Graham Poll is a great arbitre.
And..I think Borriello wouldn`t start the game..I think Oli. will start whe game.And i don`t know what to i think..Milan let Lille to win,or Milan will play to win Lille.I hope Milan will win this game..because it`s very important game for Milan,and Ancelotti.

[Milan_Mad]

I know warro i just wanted to have a go at Graham Poll :r14:

[Sempre Milan!]

My line up would be as follows... I added their ages...

------------------------Kalac(33)----------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
---Bonera(25)---Simic(31)---Maldini(38)---Jankulovski(29)
-------------------------------------------------------
-------Brocchi(30)------Pirlo(27)-----------------------
--------------------------------------Gourcuff(20)-----
------------------Kakà(24)-----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
------------Borriello(24)--------Gilardino(24)------------

Today I was drawing on paper what My starting line-up would be and yours is exactly the same....
I have been waiting this season to see how the Borriello/Gila attack goes, and we eventually got to see it in the Cagliari game... and both forwards scored, only other time both our forwards score din the same games wa sagainst Lazio- except for the Coppa Italia clash!
Kaka, he actually wasn't rested for this game he had an injury in his foot, but has recovered!
Borcchi was also injured but he seem sto be fine!

I would like to see this starting line-up, maybe we can get somewhere, and back to winning ways!

Forza Milan!

Ciao Ciao!

[ACMILAN1983]

I just hope to see us rest as many players as possible, especially Pirlo (he's off against Torino anyway, but an extra week of rest won't hurt him) Brocchi and Gourcuff maybe.

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!

[zlatanov]

I think Pirlo's suspension has given him a sure start vs Lille as it would be better to rest either Seedorf (most probably will take Pirlo's position vs Torrino) or Brocchi or Gorky, who's played 3 full games in 1 week now.
would love to see both Gorky and Kaka rested but they both are virtually ceratin to play.

Good news is Ambro is back in the team ... and I hope he stays injury free for some time now given that Gattuso is out till January.

It's been suggested in the Italian press that Carlo would be keeping an eye on Keita - a Mancini-type of player, who can operate on the right flang or as a support striker of the type of Giuly and Farfan.

[Tony29.]

Did you watch Keita , Zlat ???
If you didn't then please do tonight. Because if this guy gives at least 50% of what he has shown on those matches i had a chance to watch him, i'm sure you'll be impressed !

[zlatanov]

yeas, Tony, I've watched him and I sare the same opinion as you.
I have always wanted a mancini-type of player at Milan as this would make our tactics more flexible, and keita is my second choice after ... well, Mancini himself :). He would also be much cheaper and easier to get than the Brasilian.
Only issue is that getting him would take up the non-EU player spot as he's from Cote d'Ivoire and I don't think he has a French passport or something.

[Warro Bantan]

Wasnt $heva a "Mancini" type player...or well, maybe he was our soloution for this...since he could both "playmake" to a certain extent, as well as score...a classic #10 is what u r referring to....rite? :dontkn:

[zlatanov]

no, I don't think Sheva could be seen as that since Sheva was an all-around striker at Milan and was free to roam all over the field and wasn't constraint to the flanks ... Although, come to think of it, right now Mancini is increasingly being used at Roma more as a striker rather than his usual role on the wings.

What I mean by a Mancini-type of player is someone who could operate all over the right flang - a right wing-back and/or a right wing - players like Giuly in Barca, Farfan in PSV, Mancini in Cappelo's Roma, C. ronaldo in Portuguese NT, etc.

These are players who give you both pace and width in attack and can help the team go quickly from defence into attack and back ... a player like Serginho was for us on the left before Carlo started using him exclusively as an attacking LB.

The main idea of having such players is not to change our formation altogether but be able to employ more flexible tactics and adjust our formation looking for the most effective one - from 4-3-1-2 to 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1 to 3-4-2-1 to 3-4-1-2 and dif variations - depending on our opponent and their style of play.

right now we don't have such a player in the team and with Sergio likely to leave soon, same could be said for the left side in midfield too.

[Warro Bantan]

I thought u meant Inter´s Mancini from his Lazio/Samp days...now I understand what you mean...we should simply recall Foggia then...IMO.

[Jim_UK]

It seems more than likely we will sell Foggia for a cheap price as 'bait' to get Oddo. Didn't Boban describe Foggia as one of the two most exciting young Italian prospects? I'm pretty sure he did, which would make our decision to sell him completely ludicrous and inkeeping with the chaotic nature of the management's present mindset.

LOL; so while Ancelotti said he wins to win, I don't think this's the kind of team that will give a result... haha... my AEK friend will definitely be cursing.

[Egoistka]

As I said Kaka is not playing...
starting now...so FORZA MILAN!

[Jim_UK]

early goals for steaua and fc copenhagen

[Egoistka]

Excuse me, why Gilardino is not playing? Why is it Boriello? Strange line up anyway...

[Mystik]

Cuz we don't HAVE to win..?

[zlatanov]

Kaka has just missed a game due to an injury, I don't see why Carlo would risk him just now in a meaningless game for us as far as qualification goes.

Forza Milaaan !!!!!!!!!!!!! Forza Benficaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ilol:

[zlatanov]

Cuz we don't HAVE to win..?
I think this guy is on the right path :D

[Jim_UK]

because ancelotti didn't want you getting angry at Gilardino Oksana :grinser:

[Egoistka]

Bastards just scored!!!! What the hell!!!

[zlatanov]

because ancelotti didn't want you getting angry at Gilardino Oksana :grinser:
same goes for this one too :ilol:

EDIT:f*** /#(/%=/#)?=%(/=*#%(%#*=?%#(*=?()%#*! :nunu:

[zlatanov]

Bastards just scored!!!! What the hell!!!
it's to be expected ... relax and watch ManU-benfica, that's just about the one single game that has some charge in it today ;)

[Mystik]

Like Tony said..we never seem to win these games. Maybe this will enforce that theory?

[Egoistka]

Kaka has just missed a game due to an injury, I don't see why Carlo would risk him just now in a meaningless game for us as far as qualification goes.

Forza Milaaan !!!!!!!!!!!!! Forza Benficaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ilol:

No..its just Galliani who said that Kaka is gonna play...:) I knew anyway that Kaka would not play..at least not the whole game..

because ancelotti didn't want you getting angry at Gilardino Oksana :grinser:

I think that he should play in such games...where else will he get a chance to improve?

[Mystik]

Has the stream started for anyone here?

[Jim_UK]

Aside from ourselves, i hope for wins for Benfica and Porto :D

[Xudong]

what the hell? couldn't watch the game. and we are 0-1?

[Jim_UK]

they scored again ... 2-0


sorry, eurosport has the score at 2-0 ... but it appears that isn't the case

[Egoistka]

it's to be expected ... relax and watch ManU-benfica, that's just about the one single game that has some charge in it today ;)

What we will not even try to win it? Uhhhh...I ll watch CSKA then..

[Xudong]

[Pireloke]

WTF WTF WTF We are the shame of Europe if we let rape ourselves like that

[Xudong]

Stunning news from Milan - Peter Odemwingie gives French side Lille the lead against the Group H leaders. That boosts their chances of qualifying for the knock-out phase. Milan have qualified.

Be angry at Kalac, not Jim (at least for now)!

[King tiger]

Aparently its Kalacs fault.

my friend put a bet on Milan.Hell probably want to beat me up :D :D :D

[zlatanov]

anybody can see the game? this GiralldilloTV only has some stupid music and asks me to clink on some links which I don't know where to find... :fero:
Giraldillo isn't shpowing the game yet ... I updated the "how to see game" thread with a new sopcast link

which btw can be found here too: ;)
http://www.myp2p.eu/Matches/Match2.htm

[Egoistka]

Janku and Simic are not playing well at all...actually they are playing very badly....

[zlatanov]

Lille players to watch tonight:
Makoun (CM), Bodmer (AM), and Keita (ARM)

[Egoistka]

Can you believe guys...Dinamo Kiev are leading 1:0 against Real..:) that is quite funny

[King tiger]

simic with another mistake

[zlatanov]

nothing funny or unusual when Real M is already qualified and this game changes nothing for them ... chances are they are playing lots of reserve players and most of the first team ones' who are playing, aren't giving their best.
In these last rounds of CL when lots of teams have already qualified, one could expect a lot of curious results ;)

[NAMMY]

Can you believe guys...Dinamo Kiev are leading 1:0 against Real..:) that is quite funny

Yeah, like Lille leading us 1-0.

[Mystik]

Is that second stream working clearly for anyone here?

[Egoistka]

Yeah, like Lille leading us 1-0.

Well actually they are leading 2:0 now (I mean Dinamo Kiev)

[Pireloke]

Every defeat is a wound in my heart even for worthless matches like this, guess I'm too fanatic. And this season is bad for my heart, very bad.

[King tiger]

Well actually they are leading 2:0 now (I mean Dinamo Kiev)

I almost got a heart attack, i thought lille scored again :wow:

[Xudong]

Is that second stream working clearly for anyone here?

perfect. :devs:

[zlatanov]

Is that second stream working clearly for anyone here?
it's working great for me ... also RaiUno on streamer is great too.


btw, Nelso just scored vs ManU with a GREAAAAAT shot :diablo:
Forza Benficaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Helena]

Man U - Benfica 0-1

[Xudong]

Every defeat is a wound in my heart even for worthless matches like this, guess I'm too fanatic. And this season is bad for my heart, very bad.

[zlatanov]

Carlo is getting angry with the players ... can iamgine what will be at HT in the dressing room .... expect a agreat 2nd half by Milan ;)

[Egoistka]

Carlo is getting angry with the players ... can iamgine what will be at HT in the dressing room .... expect a agreat 2nd half by Milan ;)

I dont think we ll see good 2d half

[Warro Bantan]

Stream is very stop start for me...

[Egoistka]

Gourcuff had a chance to equalize...but he is such a slow thinker. Why did not he shoot?

[peters]

Carlo is getting angry with the players ...
About time... they really need some boost!

[Pireloke]

boring match, didn't even see the goal because the stream was loading... if play continues like this my head is going to fall on the keyboard and I'm not even tired lol.

[zlatanov]

Stream is very stop start for me...
are talking about Giraldillo or the second link - channel 14629?
maybe you could try RaiUno on StreamerOne?!

[Mystik]

Me too Warro..must be a Caribbean thing.

[Mystik]

Rai Uno is definitely mucchh better.

[Helena]

Anderlecht - AEK 1-0

[Jeff]

Gourcuff had a chance to equalize...but he is such a slow thinker. Why did not he shoot?

coz he didn't control the ball well in first touch.

[Graeme C]

this game is starting to be lame, alot of diving, and time wasting...

[hitmannq8]

i think if my uni team plays against milan we can beat them

[Egoistka]

MU equalized..great goal!

[Pireloke]

very close call that Pippo offside, he was going to score 100% sure

[NAMMY]

Why does the Star Sport channel have the channel list up ... gah

[Pireloke]

Borriello scored a double size 46 in the Lille keeper's face, oh well

[zlatanov]

i think if my uni team plays against milan we can beat them
well, you guys must be great then ... good luck in the 2nd phase in the CL :sagrin:

[Jeff]

Gourky having a not-so-good game.

[Pireloke]

Anderlecht is going to hate us, we needed to beat Lille to get them through to UEFA cup...

[NAMMY]

Lol, Totti and Rino advertising Vodafone.

[Graeme C]

i dont know how many cr*p results we need, i thought i tuned into the youth game as first... we are a proffessional side, they should be telling themselves that

[zlatanov]

the only ones Anderlecht should hate is themselves.

just saw the goal - a ling shot by Bodemr, I think, and kalac put the ball with his save into Odemwinge's legs who had to just tap it in an empty net.
Kalac could/should have done much better at saving the shot, although in all fairness, the shot was indeed a very difficult one to deal with - fast ball going in the top corner of the net.

[K77SH C]

Very poor performances from the front two who seem capable of no more than working hard. Ambrosini doesnt eve n know he is allowed to control the ball, Simic cant even clear the ball or pass it out of defence. Apart from the goal Kalac isnt too bad, which is a bonus I suppose.

And Bonera, well he is such a dreadful excuse for a Milan player. He rarely takes the oppertunity to cross the ball when he gets a chance. He doesnt ever consider running forwards with the ball. He rarely passes the ball forwards, almost all of his passes are sideways or backwards. And how often does this guy make a clean tackle, most of the time he wins it back by fouling the opposition. If he is one of the better Italian defenders arround at the moment then Italy are doomed. If we had more options in midfiled I would love to see this poor excuse of a Milan player benched and for Brocchi to play rightback.

[Tony29.]

Anderlecht is going to hate us, we needed to beat Lille to get them through to UEFA cup...
AEK and Anderlecht !

And yes, i'm here again :)

[Egoistka]

Lol, Totti and Rino advertising Vodafone.

I love this advert...there are several versions..I love them all. Totti and Gattuso kinda suit each other..:)

[NAMMY]

Yeah, Kalac should have done so much better. Things seemed to be going okay from his recent performances ...

[hitmannq8]

We're losing all because of Gila..if he wasnt on the bench he wouldnt be adding his negative mentality to our strikers!!

HEHE :P

[K77SH C]

We're losing all because of Gila..if he wasnt on the bench he wouldnt be adding his negative mentality to our strikers!!

HEHE :P

Funny :devf:

[zlatanov]

We're losing all because of Gila..if he wasnt on the bench he wouldnt be adding his negative mentality to our strikers!!

HEHE :P
interesting theory indeed. Weird that Egoistka hasn't started working on it yet :diablo: :devf:

[hitmannq8]

ahh well at least i tried to find some advantage out of gila.. aparently he's not even good to make jokes on! i think we shud sell him cuz of that..

[NAMMY]

I'm surprised the San Siro isn't very full with the 1 Euro prices. BTW, is Oli on the bench?

[zlatanov]

Seedorf in for Brocchi

[hitmannq8]

NAMMY, I saw Kaka, Oli and Gila all warming up at half time.

Seedorf on for Brocchi I think.

[NAMMY]

Cheers. Seedorf for Brocchi ... hhhmmmm

[zlatanov]

I'm surprised the San Siro isn't very full with the 1 Euro prices. BTW, is Oli on the bench?
yeah, Oli is on the bench along with Maldini, Antonelli, Kaka, Gila and Seedorf, who just came in for brocchi.

[Graeme C]

Very poor performances from the front two who seem capable of no more than working hard. Ambrosini doesnt eve n know he is allowed to control the ball, Simic cant even clear the ball or pass it out of defence. Apart from the goal Kalac isnt too bad, which is a bonus I suppose.

And Bonera, well he is such a dreadful excuse for a Milan player. He rarely takes the oppertunity to cross the ball when he gets a chance. He doesnt ever consider running forwards with the ball. He rarely passes the ball forwards, almost all of his passes are sideways or backwards. And how often does this guy make a clean tackle, most of the time he wins it back by fouling the opposition. If he is one of the better Italian defenders arround at the moment then Italy are doomed. If we had more options in midfiled I would love to see this poor excuse of a Milan player benched and for Brocchi to play rightback.

Thats what happens when you play a CB as a rightback, they bought a player assuming he could do the same as Stam, thats like assuming i can do the same things as Spiderman :P

[zlatanov]

Bori might get subbed soon as he got a cut on his forhead after a cash with a lille player

[zlatanov]

Thats what happens when you play a CB as a rightback, they bought a player assuming he could do the same as Stam, thats like assuming i can do the same things as Spiderman :P
and now let's put all mystery aside - can you? :devf:

[Graeme C]

there making a meal of defending again, this is embarrising...

[K77SH C]

Cheers. Seedorf for Brocchi ... hhhmmmm

So now we are going to play an even slower game than we already were

[Warro Bantan]

Streamer One is a little better Mystik

[NAMMY]

Unless if maybe Kaka comes on.

[Mystik]

GREAT save by Kalac.

[NAMMY]

Oh dear, the defence ... was he offside though?

[Graeme C]

and now let's put all mystery aside - can you? :devf:

lol i dont have many things in common with spiderman, might be slightly better with the ladies than he is... He isnt that good at choosing friends 2!

[zlatanov]

Simic covered an offside and Odemwinge was face-to-face with kalac but this time Kalac got the better of him.

[K77SH C]

Thats what happens when you play a CB as a rightback, they bought a player assuming he could do the same as Stam, thats like assuming i can do the same things as Spiderman :P

I would agree with you, but a centre back should be able to make a forward pass or at the very least capable of making a clean tackle. Even against AEK, in central positions he was awful making every mistake in the book.

[Pireloke]

If that wasn't offside then Pippo wasn't offside either lol

[NAMMY]

Looks like Maldini is to come on!! Great.

[Warro Bantan]

Ridiculous performance...we should have just sent the primavera...at least we could use youth as an excuse...

[zlatanov]

Ambro out, Kaka in

[Graeme C]

grrr kalac should have saved that..

[Mystik]

Kaka for Ambro

[hitmannq8]

Kaka for Ambro!

Right now is the most offensive midfield we can have for the rest of the season. Lets see how they deliver.


Kaka
Gourcuff - Pirlo - Seedorf

[NAMMY]

Oooppps, its Kaka. Good!

[NAMMY]

Ridiculous performance...we should have just sent the primavera...at least we could use youth as an excuse...

Or maybe not turn up .. 'have the working week off!'

[K77SH C]

Fantastically positive move by Carlo.Kaka for Ambro.

The only question now is who out of Oli and his pace and Gila on the back of his goal.

[Egoistka]

Kaka is playing...maybe we have a chance to score...

[Warro Bantan]

Welcome to Milan Keita! Enjoy your stay!

[Warro Bantan]

Why the long balls? Why? What are we doing? Nonsense...ridiculous...I am running out of adjectives...

[hitmannq8]

Pippo from 4 yards hits the bar

[Pireloke]

goddamn post again

[Mystik]

Inzaghi header off the post after a nice corner from Gourcuff.

[NAMMY]

Unlucky Pippo.

[zlatanov]

Pippo hits the bar from the small PA limit after a Gorky corner ...

[Milan_Kaka]

Kaka's playing good.

[remote2book]

guys basically now our reputation is dat....any team that plays against us needs only 1 goal to win....becuz obviusly when we go down a goal..we cant score crap....

[Warro Bantan]

Much ado about nothing...toothless...apart from hitting all parts of the goal except the net...forget a few changes in January...can we start from scratch? Kaka, Pirlo, Gourcuff...then, all new players.

[K77SH C]

I hope Im not talking too soon, but Seedorf is back on the left, working back and actually passing the ball quicker than he has been doing. Long may it continue.

[Mystik]

Bonera needs to work on his crossing.

[zlatanov]

guys, don't be so negative ... it's obvious that the players are just going through the motions and saving themselves. this game isn't any dif than a summer friendly for us.
It's an ugly perfomance but you take this sorrow way too far, me thinks

[Egoistka]

2:0 ...Milan is horrible....I mean it!

[Tony29.]

0:2 ?????????

[hitmannq8]

Bonera needs to work ON EVERYTHING

LOL its been a while since ive seen carlo smoke

[Mystik]

Nice attempt on goal from Pippo but an easy save in the end.

[Milan_Kaka]

Why god? why?
I hate lille 2-0

[zlatanov]

btw, Keita scores for 0-2

Forza Keitaaaaaaa :devf:

[Mystik]

2-0 Lille.

[K77SH C]

Problem is tonights performance isnt hugely different to others. The performances need to improve.

[Pireloke]

Vaffanculo I had it, I had it , I had it
We are a desastrous bunch of ****ing loser fags.

[Warro Bantan]

If this loss doesnt send a message...nothing will

[remote2book]

goal keita...WTF is going on ...

[Milan_Kaka]

I'm going to bed!
We're done!

[NAMMY]

Borriello for Oli. Simple.

[remote2book]

i cant take this ......we lose or tie everygame...i dont care if this game doesnt meananything....these r all of our good players..excpet for maldini...we r gonna get killed in the knockout stage..KILLEEDDD!!!!!

[Warro Bantan]

And I will bet anyone here, my months salary, that we will lose this game.

Berlu...spend some money or sell di #$%&_&Y#(" ing club!

[remote2book]

Vaffanculo I had it, I had it , I had it
We are a desastrous bunch of ****ing loser fags.
..i agreee....totally agree..

[zlatanov]

If this loss doesnt send a message...nothing will
I don't see why it should - remember, even when the team was geting great results, we alwyas lost these last games in the CL groups when they had no significance for Milan - vs Celta, Borussia D, Deportivo just to name a few.

It's the other results, not this one, that should have already sent the message ;)

[Graeme C]

we will be out next round, we cant compete against big teams, we have a lame squad, its all tooo late now...

[King tiger]

arghhhhhhhhhh this is so bad

[K77SH C]

Vaffanculo I had it, I had it , I had it
We are a desastrous bunch of ****ing loser fags.

The team arent gay :tong:

[Warro Bantan]

Its ridiculous...we are passing the ball to Kaka who has three players around him..he is not Ronaldinho....wake up clowns...he isnt here yet...Kaka has to get the ball with space....not with 3 players around him...pathetic...

[NAMMY]

There we go. Won't help though. I wonder what Carlo and Galliani will say this time ...

[hitmannq8]

beautiful shot onto post by lille.. before that they missed another 1on1..

[Pireloke]

Kalac saves the 0-3 and then they hit the post, wtf wrsfdZggrghgrehg

[Graeme C]

i want lille to score more now, bigger scare...

[zlatanov]

we will be out next round, we cant compete against big teams, we have a lame squad, its all tooo late now...
well, then I guess Real M will be out too cause they are also loosing a meaningless for them game vs Dynamo. ;)

[King tiger]

Im gonna cry

[Warro Bantan]

What a joke!!! This game is really making me laugh...we look like a Serie C side...hopeless! :haha:

[zlatanov]

look at the positives guys, maybe we will go after keita now :devf:

[NAMMY]

Guess no one noticed Oli for Borriello?

[mrki]

After some good pass to bonera from Gourcuff, and after Bonera send in an awfull cross, the comentator on RAI uno simply said: " Bonera, he is a central back...."

That is enough, players are not good enough.

[King tiger]

No!Galliani will say that we dont need a striker, justa a third-class defender.

[Warro Bantan]

What a joke...Olievera gets a break with Pippo and Kaka, and he doesnt even look up, he just shoots...what a waste of money.

[NAMMY]

Graham Poll hasn't really done too well tonight ... blatant push on Pippo.

[peters]

well, then I guess Real M will be out too cause they are also loosing a meaningless for them game vs Dynamo. ;)
Oh cmon... real plays with diego lopez, mejia, torres gomez, De la Red, Borja Valero, Garcia... And we play with.. Boriello?

[K77SH C]

Inzaghi has resorted to begging the referee from stopping players tackling him now :nasty:

[Graeme C]

not much different between oli and borriello, both have been hyped up, and are known for what they have done in the past.... its what they do now what counts..

[Warro Bantan]

Couldnt we have played the primavera? Oh...UEFA registrations...ah well...lets wear these guys out..we only have another unimportant, useless game on the weekend vs Torino...

[remote2book]

i dont get it....how come we cant win a F*** game......i just dont get it!!!!!1

[mrki]

as I've said, Oliveira is the most selfish and idiotic player we ever bought. They should be whiseled away and Galliani should do his job or leave!

[Pireloke]

Sunday we're going to hit rock bottom when Torino will slaughter us in our own home, mark my words, soon I'm going to be too ashamed to even come out of my home.

[Graeme C]

Inzaghi has resorted to begging the referee from stopping players tackling him now :nasty:

i wouldnt be sad if he left after the last couple of times ive seen him :hammer:

[Tony29.]

AEK equalised 2:2 and if they manage to get another one then Lille is out !

[devoted_dm]

Well this is just painful to watch.

[NAMMY]

All Oli does is get fouled.

[Warro Bantan]

i dont get it....how come we cant win a F*** game......i just dont get it!!!!!1
Maybe because we cant buy them anymore? :whie:

[NAMMY]

Maybe they should spend some of Sheva's fee then!

[rahul.acm]

I am really hoping some of our non-milan members like Tony27 :u56: gives an unbiased report on Milan's performance! Please Tony I will add to your reps if you do it for me. :D


:drunk:

[Pireloke]

Maybe because we cant buy them anymore? :whie:

Lol someone would say that in front of me and I would snap his neckbone with my bare hands...

[King tiger]

Maybe we should get a decent forward

[Sempre Milan!]

I am so upset over this game, I really don't care if it technically means nothing, Milan need to win! At least for pride, confidence and the tifosi! THey aren't showing the game here, but I am redaing the commentry, it's so annoying! Milan seriously need to sharpen up otherwise...

I want our old milan back, not his shote team that is playing badly, and loosing

[zlatanov]

a little more sobbing or whining here and I am gonan start selling nose tissues ... I will make a ton of money among Inter ... oops, sorry Milan fans. :D

[ac-milan]

Damn..I agree to Milan let them to win 1:0..but no 2:0 ! ! !

[Warro Bantan]

Yes, brilliant tactics by Milan...lets boot the ball upfield...we are bound to get it!

Oliveira loses a ball carelessly into touch...pathetic, ridiculous, waste of time, money, a joke...disgusting...stupid...senseless...worst performance..actually, worst season I have seen under Carlo...what a joke! Completely hopeless.

At least there is the Italian Cup!

[K77SH C]

I see two solutions:

An Arab sheikh or Russian business man comes to our rescue

Or theres elections in Italy again

[NAMMY]

I don't get too annoyed when the teams I support lose - as long as they play well and actually try.

[Graeme C]

firing ancelloti might be a start, and then replace most of the team.. we wont spend tho, so we wil have to make do with bargain bin players....

[Graeme C]

inzaghi trying to get the ball to the tifosi....what is he doing...

[Tony29.]

Btw, if i'm not wrong Milan is waiting for the winner of Livorno-Arezzo for the next round of Coppa Italia .

2 minutes before the end it's 1:1 and after Arezzo won the first leg 2:1. Milan will probably play against Arezzo in the 1/4 finals.

P.S Real Madrid also equalised, it's 2:2 now !

[Mystik]

Wow what a shot by Inzaghi

[zlatanov]

At least there is the Italian Cup!
you are forgetting Inter are already subscribed to receiving that one :sagrin:

[Pireloke]

you are forgetting Inter are already subscribed to receiving that one :sagrin:

Their lease is not over yet?

[Graeme C]

Milan 2006, worst side since 1996...

[Warro Bantan]

Inzaghi was alerted by Italian special forces that a Russian spy plane was doing a fly by, so he tried to shoot it down with the ball...hopeless.

[K77SH C]

Inzaghi was alerted by Italian special forces that a Russian spy plane was doing a fly by, so he tried to shoot it down with the ball...hopeless.

If that was the case he would have scored

[NAMMY]

Ronaldo scores twice for RM ... lets buy him! (Sarcastic).

[Sempre Milan!]

Pathetic loss for a home game! 2-0! AGH!
Am I right to say that Milan hit the crossbar twice or not? I didn't see the match

[zlatanov]

Inzaghi was alerted by Italian special forces that a Russian spy plane was doing a fly by, so he tried to shoot it down with the ball...hopeless.
stupid thing to do - it could have been Roman on that plane coming to buy himself a team in milano ;)

[NAMMY]

Galliani in the stands .. grim expression.

[Mystik]

The more I watch Gourcuff play..the more I'm impressed with how well the guy plays football at such a tender age. He's never too hasty with the ball and always prefers to pass instead of shoot.

[Tony29.]

Everything is clear now. These are the 5 possibile oponents to Milan in the 1/8 finals of CL

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Celtic
Porto
PSV Eindhoven

GL in the 1/8 guys !

[Sempre Milan!]

Galliani in the stands .. grim expression.

Well I should hope so!

[King tiger]

Well get barcelona, youll see.

[hitmannq8]

All these losses and Galliani still thinks there's nothing wrong and its just luck?? FIRE THE FKING BALDY IVE HAD IT WITH HIM!! FFS wat should we fans do? SHUD WE DONATE MONEY TO BUY PLAYERS? FFS, Berlusconi, your reputation is going down and being rubbed on the floor. If you dont want to help Milan, then let someone else hold Milan. If you do, STOP WAITING and do so NOW. Dont wait till January, do so NOW. I dont care if u bring Moggi to Milan, just DO ANYTHING that will turn milan successful.

And about the draw, I think Milan and PSV are teams that often match each other and it is simply meant to be for us to be with them. We have played them in the last 2 years in CL but we have also played Barca in the last 2 years so I dunno. I personally prefer Celtic or Porto.

[mrki]

The title on acmilan.com will probably be " Milan again on top in CL..." Galliani will say: " we are no.1 in UEFA standings..." and Carlo: " yes, we did well, we just need time, more speed and strikers are worlds class"

[NAMMY]

Well I should hope so!


Unless if he immediately smiled afterwards!

[devoted_dm]

Full time. 0-2 :(

[NAMMY]

No comment.

[Mystik]

Well considering the transfer season opens in January..there's OBVIOUSLY nothing we can do now. Some people here just need to relax.

[Pireloke]

Milan has no honor, and thinking I grew up with the legendary squads with Van Basten, Rijkaard, Gullit, Rossi, Savicevic, Boban, Maldini, Albertini, ect ect, we are but a dark ghost of those glorious times, a shame, a dishonor.

[Pireloke]

Well get barcelona, youll see.

I hope so, then the death will be quick and less painful.

[K77SH C]

Everything is clear now. These are the 5 possibile oponents to Milan in the 1/8 finals of CL

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Celtic
Porto
PSV Eindhoven

GL in the 1/8 guys !

Thank God we dont have United, my friends would destroy me. And I would have no deffence if Milan play like this.

Gourcuff is a pleasure to watch and will only get better.

[Arildonardo]

Milan 2006, worst side since 1996...
I agree. As we are playing now we could have saved the high player-wages and played with Ibrahim Ba's grandmother instead. This season only one player deserves wearing a Milan shirt: Kaka... All of the rest? Replace them.

If we continue like this we will struggle to finish top 10 in the league and we will go out in the next round of the CL no matter who we play.

I've lost all hope for this season, which also means I've lost all hope of playing the CL next season, which again tells me no real star-players will join us in the summer...

Am I too negative? Hmmm... Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow... :dconf:

[peters]

yeah, just take a chill pill and go to bed. the underperforming was somehow expected (again) and we can't do nothing about it...

[remote2book]

milans reputation is going down...we r probably now known as the F** team that cant score a goal..........AGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Warro Bantan]

Everything is clear now. These are the 5 possibile oponents to Milan in the 1/8 finals of CL

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Celtic
Porto

GL in the 1/8 guys !

And it doesnt matter who we face...we go out in this round...we will lose vs any of these teams...including Celtic. What a pathetic performance, we gained NOTHING from this game, except tired players, and maybe a gradual awareness that we are now second class, and dropping fast, when compared with our former peers in Europe...not to mention Italy.

I havent eaten lunch, but I have no appetite.

What a dismal display! Reminds me of the Zaccerphon...er Zacceroni era...clueless....and what will come of this...nothing..nada, zip, zilch...nothing.

Berlu just needs to sell the club, since the wishes of his kids are more important than Milan is now...worse, he doesnt need the club anymore to support his political ambitions..we can forget about heavy investment...

I am so disgusted with the way we played today...totally sick to my stomach. :d55:

[rosoneri_11]

I hope so, then the death will be quick and less painful.


hahahaha!!!!!!!! :sagrin:

[lked]

I wasn't expenting much from this game .. a good performance by our team tonight would be a good thing before the game in Seria A . Didn't saw the game so i'm looking forward to see the highlights from tonights game ..
Looks like we really have a future star for sure GOURCUFF !! :3band:
p.s Warro maybe we werent that bad huh ?:tong:

[K77SH C]

Having taken two deep breaths, the next round is a long way away. If those idiots in suits authorise some money to Leonardo over Christmas we shall be back.

[zlatanov]

Am I too negative?
aha :grinser:
