(The Toro game is when players make other players run after the ball which is usually done during trainings. At that time, this is what the Barça team was doing to most of their oppositions. However, that night, it was Milan who were making Barcelona players run after the ball like headless chicken. :dazed: And whlie the Catalans were running after the ball, the Milan fans were joyously singing "Ole!Ole!Ole!Ole!":stuckup: :devil: I was left speechless in front of that rare spectacle!!!!

55) Watching Il Metronomo unleashing one of the purest and most powerful shots I've ever seen against Monaco, in the 94 CL 1/2 final, that we won 3-0 despite being a man down for the antics of Klinsmann on Billy. But what can one expect from a typical Bauscia...:o
56) Watching the Boys anilihating Empoli at San Siro 4-0. Surpasso!!! :star:
57) From the Perugia game, what I would remember for ever is not the 2 goals by Guly and Bierhoff but that vital save at the very last minute by Abbiatti. And what a save!!!A missile shot from 2 meters and Christian managed to dive and save the day and the title!!!:star: Pure class!!FORZA CHRISTIAN!!!:star:
58) The absolutely insane images of Zio Fester going nuts after the final whistle that day, in late May 99 in Perugia. Vampirone looked as if he were choking!!!:stress::D Unforgettable!!!:)
59) Sheva's hat trick at the Olimpico against Lazio in a memorable 4-4. :star:
60) Sheva's slalom against Bari, reminiscant of Re Leone's caost to coast against Verona a few years earlier. Pure class!!!!:star:
61) Big George's last minute winner in the Derby. :star::thmbup:
62) Leonardo's magics. Pure delight!!!:cool::star:
63) Seba Rossi stopping a penalty :star: right after substituting that clown of Lehman :rollani: in Cagliari (?). Grande Seba!!!!:star::devil:

72) Concorde Serginho's devastating runs through the very inviting Inter defence. :jester:
73) 6-0. :star: :howler: Unique. Unforgettable. Eternal. :devil:
74) Il Metronomo's 2 rockets against Barça in an unforgettable match, which was right during my b-day!!!:jester: :devil:
75) The choregraphies of the Curva Sud. The best Curva in Italy and the world!!!:stuckup::devil:
More to come later...;)
A MILANO, IN EUROPA, NEL MONDO: OVUNQUE MILAN!!!!:stuckup::proud: :devil::star:

San Siro
10-08-2004, 15:35
76) 05 Maggio 2002: Self-explanatory. No comments needed!:jester::howler:
77) The day we signed Rui Costa. I particularly remember that day as that got me literally high the whole day. I knew that this signing was the beginning of a new era!:star: And Il Musagete has not dissapointed since with countless breathe-taking and crucial assists.
78) Derby d'andata season 2001-2002: 3 goals in what? 9 minutes or something like that?:stress: I was in 8th Heaven that day while watching the match alone at home, everyone wondering whether I had gone bozo...:D
79) Summer 2002: the day we signed Sandro Magno. On August 30th, I stayed up all night until the transfer was officialised. It was 3:30 am in here when it was finally on the official site. When I saw the magic little message saying "L'AC Milan comunica di avere firmato il difensore laziale Alessandro Nesta..." I screamed so hard I almost woke up everybody, resulting in me getting almost kicked out of the house for un-appropriate behaviour :lala: :googly:...:D
80) September 26, 2002: Riazor. The New Milan stream-rolling and giving a lesson of football to the whole Europe. But what I would never forget from that memorable day, was that unbelievable and breathe-taking bicycle save from Sandro Magno on the line, right in front of a Depor player who had just a mere tap - in to score a vital goal for the Spaniards. That save alone was worth the 32 Million Euros of his transfer!!!:stuckup: FORZA SANDRO!!!!:star:
81) A week later, in the fearsome Olimpiastadion of Munich. Against Bayern. Il Diavolo gives an imperial lesson of cynism and realism. Cuore di Drago and Sandro Magno IMMENSI.:star: Il Pippo Show continues...:devil: As the Gazzetta was title: La ditatura rossonera. The only positive and allowed type of dictature ever worth supporting!:devil:
82) November 29 2002: The Derby of Europe: Milan - Real. La Scala del Calcio. Probably the most mind blowing assist I've ever seen by Il Musagete :star:to split completely open the Merengue defence and what a cool finish by Lo Tzar!:star:
83) 2nd leg of the CL 1/4 final against Ajax. San Siro. 93rd minute. Until SuperPippo accomplishes the miracle that not even the most fanatic and optimistic of the lads in the FDL such as Tino, Gino, Mino, Lino and co ;) would have even dreamt of. Un pallonetto suave just above the Ajax keeper and right under the cross bar that opens the gate to the next round for us. I have rarely in my life felt such a strong and intense feeling that after that moment. Simply I was left speechless, with no force left. I was lying on the floor with my face against the carpet, trying to catch my breathe. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. :star:
84) 13 Maggio 2003: The Trilogy is complete! :devil: Euro Derby: Sheva scoring probably the most important Derby goal after the one scored by Attila. Simply the sweetest derby ever. IMO even more than the Tennis Game. And to make things even sweeter, watching Zanetti, that animal of Materazzi crying made it even more delicious. :lick:
85) May 28, 2003. Manchester. One moment that I will never forget: just prior to taking the decisive penalty kick, Sheva, looking at the ref, then at Buffon, then again at the ref, and again at Buffon and finally nodding as if to say to himself: "Ok, I'll take care of business" and then, runs and shoots and sends all of us Milanisti into a state of transe. Before he took his shot, I closed my eyes and started praying like rarely I've done in my life. I was in a bar in downtown Toronto, with mostly Gobbi and only me and a couple of English fans rooting for Milan. I closed my eyes and once I heard the silence in the room and a few poetic "vafa" from around me, from the Juventini, I knew that it was over and that we were the European Champions. I started crying like a baby and shouted several times "Sheva!Sheva!Sheva!". I wanted to grab at the big screen and kiss the screen each time they were showing him. The heavy partying and celebrations that ensuied would forever be in my mind, heart and soul. GRAZIE VENTO DI PASSIONI!GRAZIE RAGAZZI!!!:heart: The sweetest of all the CLs for me, won after beating not only all the top guns in Europe and convincingly but also and above all, the Cugini and the Gobbi. The top of the top!!!That CL is like worth 5 for me!:happy:
86) Watching Buffon diving on his right and Sheva sending the ball where no Buffon or anybody else could stop the ball. :star:
87) Standing on top of the table at the bar and shooting to the room full of Gobbi and Perdenti: SIAMO NOI, SIAMO NOI, SIAMO NOI, I CAMPIONI DEL'EUROPA SIAMO NOI!!!!!:devil:
A few days later: the icing on the cake: Coppa Italia. The celebrations. The whole atmosphere. Unforgettable. Each time I think of that period, I get goosebumps and tears of pride. :proud: Only Milan can do that!:proud:
88) First day of the Serie A season 2003-04: the play made by Kaka for the 2nd goal in Ancona. Simply sublime. :star: Sombrero on the defender. Acceleration to go past 2 defenders. Then genial through ball for Cafu whom gives it straight to Sheva who finishes it smoothly. Gol da antologia!:star:
89) Derby d'andata: Kaka show continues. :jester: 3-1. :devil:
90) Sheva's 100th goal with Milan. Against Chievo. 100 altri di queste perle Vento di Passioni!!!:star:
91) While the whole Italian media are pondering how many goals will Capello's unstoppable Roma are going to score past this Milan in crisis, Carletto's ragazzi give a resounding lesson of football and maturity to an incredule packed Olimpico. A demonstration of ultimate force and strength da Campioni d'Europa!:devil: Nor Capello nor Roma would ever recover from this trauma...
92)Derby di ritorno: Down 0-2 at half time totally against the run of the play, the ragazzi make a formidable come back. First JDT. Then, Il Bimbo di Oro in a superb shot in one of these deadly runs that only he has the secret. And finally, the icing on the cake. The one for god knows what reason was named Calamity Clarence by the Inter fans during his spell there, turns on the show and the heat with an unstopable long distance missile. Toldo at full stretch helpless and hopeless. La Curva Sud explodes. So do I. GRANDE CLARENCE!!!:star:
93) Tiziano Crudelli's :star: (Milanisita TV commentator) almost passes out after Clarence's winning goal. His screams" E allora? E allora? E allora? E allora? E allora?" is among the most unforgettable comments I've ever heard. Also worth mentionning, the face and expression of the Inter commentator sitting just beside him. That expression alone was worth a million bucks!!!!:howler:
94) Delle Alpi. Against the Gobbi. A superb 3-1 victory. Full of authority which completely swept the mighty Juve. In their stadium. :devil: The Clarence show continues...
95) We all know how surprising was the ending, however, the first leg was one of the most beautiful matches by Milan I've seen in a long time. Reminded me of the Milan of Gli Immortali of Don Sacchi at times with the way they were stream-rolling on the opposition which was left helpless. I'm talking about the first leg against Deportivo that we onlywon 4-1....could have and should have well been 6-1 or even 7-1. One perfectly valid goal by Pippo ruled out and at least 3-4 clear through balls with clear scoring chances one on ones non-offside by the same judge line that had screwed Manchester in the previous round...But what a match! What a 20 minutes spell which was like a tornado sweeping everything in its path. The Devil's wrath anhiliating completely the Spaniards. :devil: Amazing game. Kaka's 2 beauties. Sheva's fumnambulesque slalom and Andrea's geometria. Superb overall match!:star:
96) Milan-Roma: Scudetto # 17!:star: A record breaking season. Every remaining records left in the history of Serie A broken. :devil: GRAZIE RAGAZZI!!!!:proud:
97) I'd like to spend a few words on the amazing, beautiful and always original and funny choregraphies and chants of la Curva Sud. The best and most faithful group of fans in the whole world. Special mention to these striscione:
Dedicated to our Cugini:
NOI REALIZIAMO I VOSTRI SOGNI :howler:
http://www.fdlsvizzera.ch/pics/coreografie/Bilder/03-04_inter-milan2.jpg
I CUGINI DEI CAMPIONI SIETE VOI :jester:
(does anyone have a pic of that striscione? as I can't find it...)
NON VINCETE MAI!!:howler:

Dedicated to the Gobbi:
RICONQUISTIAMOLA!!!:devil:

Post Manchester: :devil:
http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/soccer/pict/200311/031104_soc_milan_b.jpg
98) Hearing the lyrical, marvelous, beautifully synchronized songs of the Curva Sud each time gives me the goosebumps even overhearing them on the back ground on tv. So I can only imagine how hypnotizing those songs and anthems can be live at the Scala del Calcio.
99) Looking back in time, one of the recurring images I'll never forget is to see Kaiser Franz with just raising his hand, putting the entire opposing team offside. The offside trap during Sacchi and Capello's era was of the purest form of ballet and synchronized swimming together. Pure class!
100) Of course, such a list would not be complete without HIM. Massimo Moratti. More commonly known and referred to (if not revered!) as Uno di Noi! God Bless Him and may he be there for ever!:jester:
I'm sure I have forgotten a lot of other great moments and memories. Summarizing 100 years of history is never an easy task, specially when it comes to our beloved Milan. One could very easily write an entire encyclopedia about it and an entire chapter on each of these events. So all apologies if I have left out any thing and I am well aware I did left out some, either on purpose than accidently. Feel free to add your own list, maybe not 100 reasons, but at least a top 10 or 20 (which should be a piece of cake for any self respecting true Milanista!).
Perhaps the most important reason that life is worth living as a Milanista is that no matter what, we can always walk up with our heads up high and proud of our team, our history, tradition, our legacy. Proud to have such a beautiful team, such a tradition of combining winning and with style in these days of cynical and efficient football. Proud to have some of the biggest names in football history. Proud to have had a long line of amazing captains. Proud to have a club which is more than just a club, but more like a family, a group of friends and brothers fighting for the same cause: the Rossonera cause! And last but not least, proud to be able to have a large grin and happy face each time we see an Interista or someone with an Inter or Juve jersey. I have the luck of meeting quite a few of them here and each time, it gives me a huge grin and makes me feel very good. :happy:
I'm convinced that the ragazzi will continue the tradition of winning and entertaining, which has alwaws been the policy of our club. I'm already missing the Champions Cup..Plus, we need to get our 2nd :star: asap as well.
FORZA CARO VECCHIO CUORE ROSSONERO!!!!:heart:
Cheers.;)
It is a brilliant flashback! Should be made a sticky coz this one is for the ages! :clap:

very, very, very long post, but enjoyed it immensely. :)
Awesome... Amazing... Remarkable.. Magnificent...
Great posts, San Siro..
:cheers:
F**kin'...greatest...f**kin'...post...F**KIN'...EVER!!! I started choking up just reading it! WOOOOO!!!!!
...this makes me want to yell insults at some intermerdi...
...hell...anyone in black and blue would do at this point!
...and if I may add a personal entry to this wonderful list...reason 101 (for me) is the time I was working at the library in Pittsburgh...I was wearing my Milan shirt...and the most stunning, beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous Italian girl walked past the circulation desk (...I knew she was Italian because I had helped her get a library card the week before...she was from near Napoli, I think...)...and she looked at my shirt, licked her lips as she smiled, and said, "Forza Milan!"
I nearly swooned right then and there...
Forza Milan, indeed!
Anyone got goosebumps when you read it? Not in a bad way, but in a good way, I always get goosebumps when I listen to some nice trance songs and reading a wonderful post like this.. Cheers San Siro.
:heart: :devil::stuckup: :proud: :star:
1) Having goosebumps each time you hear or see the name M I L A N. :stuckup::devil:
2) The most beautiful combination of colours. Red and Black. :devil::cool:
3) Being the most titled team in the world at International level. :stuckup::devil:
Every single point out of this list is so true, but these first 3 REALLY hit home when I had the pleasure of watching Milan beat Chelsea in Philly. I watched them with so much pride and such great admiration! Great post, thanks for compiling all the memories for us, Payman! :sagrin: :sagrin:

Well, thank YOU for the great words!!!! I am truly flattered! :)
It certainly was an immense pleasure for me compiling that list. I can garantee you that I also had goosebumps and even some tears of pride while writing it. But who wouldn't? After all, as a Milanista, some might think that we've chosen the easy route of a big successful team. However, it's not the successes that make the proudest. It's the tradition. The family spirit where traditions and certain basic values are still respected. Which is a rare thing in today's world of football. :proud::thmbup:
FORZA MAGICO MILAN!!!!:devil::star:

Awesome... Were you the one who also did the summary of the two teams before the Milan-Boca Intercontinental Cup match. That was one of the best posts I''ve ever read.
Btw, isn't another team on par with us for the most internationally titled team in the world?

Yes, Real Madrid and Independiente (Argentina). Those 2 teams, along with us, have 15 international titles so far. After we win this year's CL, we will have 16 and will leave them behind :p017:
btw, I am not sure to which one you refer, but it is usually Haroon who posts previews of the big games, such as our Intercontinental Cup game. He does an amazing job each and every time

OT:ACM, will you ever go out with a girl who is, say, a Juve fan? :rr29: Just curious how life could be when a die-hard Milanista with an Inter fan...:tong:
Well..the problem is that most Italians (or other) who understand little about soccer in Canada are Juve fans..that includes women. So when the conversation hits soccer and they 'confess' they are a Juve fan I either:
a) Convert the poor soul if its worth MY TIME

she can be the prettiest girl in the world but if she likes inter of juve, she's out of my life!
her blood should be as red and black as mine :D (it can't be more - as i said - i am the biggest milanmaniac in the world ;)
Oh come on guys it can't be THAT bad. Some solmates are meant to be opposites. I think it would just be the BEST THING EVER to ALWAYS have someone to laugh at when Milan wins. I mean, say I were going out with a Juve fan right now, she'd be 'laughing at mee cuz we're behind. But at the end of the year I'll have the biggest laugh. Plus, the Milan vs. Juve Matches will just be SSSOOOOO exciting if your girlfriend were a Juventina
54) Witnessing Maurizio Ganz scoring that vital goal against Sampdoria at dhe 95th minute giving us a crucial win 3-2 in our quest to the title that season.
i will always remember that game as long as i live, montella was leadin samp single handedly when samp had 10 players and ganz scored in last minute, my cuz lost $27 000 that day because he had put that match 1x
:wow: Wonderful! gave me chills just reading it

Because I don't have to be ashamed when my team is winning - referring to the Bologna vs Juve/Pieri game last Sunday.
Because I don't have to find poor self-comforting excuses such as "the ref was very good and conducted the game in a professional manner" (see Capello's words after the game in question) or "everyone makes mistakes and it just a coincidence that they all favor Juve" or "so what if the guys were doped - they did play great football and fully deserved every trophy they won or were awarded via the Gea - Italian referees connection"
Because I do not have to wonder why my team is successful only in Italy and sucks in Europe - damn European referees, how dare they not give Juve any lifelines like their honorable italian coleagues. Don't they know who Juve is? Or may be Gea should go worldwide and stop concentrating on the Italian players/referees market only.
27) Watching Franky Rijkaard, with his Dostoyevsky's rythm rescuing the boys from the very dangerous trap of the Maracana in Belgrade in the fall of 88.
What I remember best is the class Milan players showed in second game i Belgrade.Red Star player cleared van Basten header that was at least one meter inside.It was a clear goal but referee waved the play on.I thought Milan players would go balistic but instead they turned on the style and completely dominated the game from that point.Red Star were lucky the game went to penalties but in the end it was worthy winner.
Proud to be a Milanista, cause during the Era of Capello's Invincibili:star: I was once slapped in the face by a "disillusioned " cugino, "just" for a wink :delol: That slap, to which I did not react, gives you a picture of just how proud I was, and still am :delol:
P.S. A few weeks later, the cugino, privetely excused himself saying: "Sorry, at times I feel so frustrated" :delol: Naturally, I accepted his apology :sun:

another historic milan moment is the first friendly of the 1995/96 season. Milan-Alessandria. We won 3-0 but the score is not important. Milan had lost the league the year before so they prepared a big team for the following season. This was the first milan match for weah and baggio. the following is the attacking force of that side (there are 6 no.10s! incredible!):
weah
baggio
savicevic
boban
futre (was injured for the whole season, but he had shown great class in the Asian Tour the previous summer)
simone
di canio
lentini
needless to say, we ran away with the league that year. does anyone remember this friendly?
Alora questa settimana cè la fa contro la Juve !
We will be the champions in Europe and the master in Italy :)

a goal by van basten against real madrid a while back (but correct me if i'm wrong) it was a header from the 18, hits the crossbar, bounces off the keepers back, then crosses the line. what does van basten do after? celebrates with a dance infront of the real fans :pr115: and.........weah's full field run @ san siro against verona :sweeteye: and ronaldo's cry after losing il campionato against lazio :5inter:

nice post man
You've proved that you love Milan.
I think that just person who loves Milan would write so long text.
RESPECT
Because we know Milan is respected as decent club... a moral club... a club where good players can reach a status of semiGods, even though they play for the DEVIL...
where a player like Gilardino prefers to ignore offers of a lot more money, just to be a part of a solid organization... where there is respect, and loyalty, and a permanent ambition to win... because our history demands it, and our future deserves it...
and because regardless of internal disputes in the Curva, like with Fossa dei Leoni, our team knows that Milan fans all over the world will still follow them, in San Siro, on TV,
over the internet... any way possible...
because at the end of the day, they're performance is more than just points... it reflects on our life... we go to bed with a smile after games like the 3-1 vs. Juve...
or with sorrow like after the 3-2 loss against Inter...
Because unlike Juve, we don't need refs. help if are not as good in one game... or unlike Inter, we don't need to buy almost a bunch of expensive players every season,
just to conform with making it to the next UCL, or win Coppa Italia...
because we are elegant, we are classy... we are fair... and that's the heritage of glories like Baresi... and no Milan player would dare to become a diva like Cassano at Roma... because Captain Maldini would only need to stand in from of him, even silent, to remind him that Milan is above any other club.
the only thing i know....
everyday I love milan more and more..

For Paolo and Billy. :proud: I wish to attend their testimonial. They are the real Milan legends, along with Baresi ofcourse. It's time people start paying them more respect especially Billy. Their contributions will never be overshadowed by players like Shevchenko. Whenever I'll look at the Milan's emblem I will always see their faces shining through it. They have set the limits of loyalty and devotion. I am a proud milanista!

I'm new to following Milan. I fell in love with the Rossoneri
last winter, when they clawed their way out of the Serie A
basement and believed in each other.
Also a good friend of mine is HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Rossonero!
I guess Milan are addicting. I really need to see, read and
enjoy all the old legends and the fanstastic matches that
created all those memories listed.
:5ok:
I am with you Maldini+Nesta: Milan are very addicting!!! My dream is to one day go see them in Italy, and I will definetly do that before I die!!

I have always liked Milan more so than the other big teams in Europe, especially because you guys never tap up our players unlike those bloody Cules or the guys from Madrid. If I had a chance to play or any team other than Arsenal it would be Milanello. I don't know whether I have enough love in my heart to add Milan. I will give it a try though.

Hey all! Newly registered, but I've been reading the forum for quite some time. I remember when I first started getting into football/soccer, I would watch the English Premier League as an outsider and would just watch any game that was on. A couple of years ago, I watched my first AC Milan game (first Serie A game for that matter) and instantaneously felt enormous respect for them. The way they presented themselves, the way their fans acted towards them, the way that their history seemed to seep out of their jerseys, and of course the way they played. I fell in love and have never looked back!!
Being in Los Angeles, I don't get to chat about the sport to everyone, but I thankfully have a group of friends who follow the sport as much as I now do. Choosing to follow Milan over Baseball, NFL, and Basketball here in the states was the best decision I've ever made involving sports. I truly feel part of something special, and love our boys in red&black!!!
FORZA MILAN!
