what's gilardino got to do with it? What a pathetic attempt at trying to have a go at a player.

6 yards out and only the keeper to beat, he should have scored. All he had to do was put it either side of him not straight at him.

why's everyone having a go at Gilardino? He's not done anything wrong yet!

kaka unlucky with an overhead kick ... good cross from bonera i think

milan's defenders so slow to get out the box and close players down

Because that's just how things have been for the last what..two vyears?

gomes goal ffs.

OMG, where was our def?

damn it.. Jankulovski does not have a clean sheet anymore.. and I cant believe I took Pirlo off just before the game! grrr!

was that offside?

pirlo was good, but if you give great players that much space you're going to pay for it.

ambrosini & jankulovski were very good i thought, as was inzaghi for his movement

Ridiculous to concede such a sloppy goal...man...and we looked so good at times...I really cant wait for R99 to return though...this way, even when we concede, we will be so far in front, it would only be semantics.

Not unhappy though ultimately....we were going to go to sleep at some point...better in added time with a cushion than any other...wish we wouldnt shut off though...and we shouldnt, not with the wealth of experience we have...but again, we concede on a set piece...and we cannot blame Dida there...he was faultless in that goal.

Good...no GREAT game by Pirlo, Kaka had his moments, as did Seedorf.

Pippo....good goal, but should have had a hattrick at the very least.

Glad for the 3 points though.

I know i should'n brought him up again, but i tried to display what u didnt understand - if it wasnt for pippo it may not even be a chance. And talking about where to shoot when a shot alone was hardly performed is just nonsense.

Get it, you saying he should't miss and i thinking he did great to get a shot on goal where many would just look stupid.
