Where to start Well, Old Diav will try to be as concise as possible
May I start with adding that what IMHO separates this year to 1994, has to do with one factor only
You may all think, that due to the fact that being a Devil that brings with it, having been around since always I may have indeed gone nuts Nothing can be so wrong unfortunately
Before I uncover what indeed separates a well above average year to a year that we all could have looked upon in the same fashion as 1994 I must underline that despite being a Devilish Team with all that goes with being linked with Uncle Lucifer, Hell and Evil in general may I underline that this should be considered only as a methafore of our in depth keeness towards exitment, overwhelming enthusiasm and flamboyance with our beatiful combination of colours: Red&Black an indeed seducing represantation og the above described virtues
Having said so much, or so little about our Devilish Essence having said that unfortunately we do not posses a virtue so often linked with The Devil himself, that I will not name may I now uncover what indeed has separated 2005 to 1994
Unlucky Ref Calls
Now, I will not turn this into an accusation towards other teams, since my only desire is to call upon a Lady that has turned her back on us since last years Serie A opener Milan vs Livorno her name is, needless perhaps even to add: Lady Luck
Where the hell has she been in these last 18 months?
Having said that for sure, other clubs may rightfully claim that Lady Luck has also turned a blind eye on them, may I just add that I certainly believe so, but, if a team can perhaps claim that they were releagted in 2nd division due to the fact that a direct rival was blissed by Lady Luck throughout the season, us Milanisti were fortunately challenging at another level, and, against another team. So basically, everything should be put in the same context. Now, without having to list all the wrong calls that have afflicted The Devilhood since the above mentioned Serie A season opener 2004/05: Milan vs Livorno, in which our GK was redcarded, after only 8 minutes of play, for a foul that ever since, has not been sanctioned in the same fashion, in recalling an infinite number of unfavourable calls as opposed to an infinite number of favourable calls that have unfortunately blissed our direct rival for the Serie A title last season, even though at some point the even imposed a press silence for reason yet to be explained with evident signs of the same pattern this season having said that after having reviewed that penalty awarded to Liverpool that was indeed a by the book kind of penalty, if indeed a penalty it ever was having to point out once again that this thread is only intended as a wink towards Lady Luck as the season is almost fully compromised, please Lady Luck, we beg you, havy pity towards us for once

Forza Lady Luck
Forza Milan

Nice post Diavolo, but I believe that the brave make their own luck.

Lady luck, in other words, is attracted to brave men...which for a couple of games, we havent been. We just werent brave enough in the derby, neither were we against the Viola to catch the ladies eye.

That being said, I am sure we can regain some of the verve, bravery, and solidity that we showed against Juve, in the remainder of the season.

This will surely prove attractive to the elusive lady, and bring us back into her favour.

We need more than just luck right now. The team simply isn't performing on the level of the previous seasons; especially the defense has been fragile on too many occasions. This team certainly isn't finished and can still shine occasionally, as the game against Juve showed, but there seems to be some kind of static state spreading through the squad...it's like they're not hungry for trophies anymore.

And I quess there's also the fact that Ancelotti is sticking with the same formation 4th season in a row. It's a good formation, probably the best for the squad we have, but it's certain that we can't surprise anybody with it anymore...other teams know what to expect from us and learn to counter it. The match against Fiorentina was a good example of that IMO, they seemed to know exactly how to position the team against us while defending and how to get our defense open with their attacks.
