Sylrus, stop with that ... there's a way to loose and tonight, it was a bad way: it's like if Arsenal played two times at home !!

If we had lost to penalties or even in 1/4 or 1/2, we'd have changes next years, there was no need to be eliminated like that.

I had a gut feeling that we would lose today, I have been in crappy mood all the time since the first leg and the Serie A games added to that.
I felt that we couldn't win, I am not saying I am happy, I am very disappointed, but I really hope change will be coming.

I really thought Milan would still pull it out today, but i take my hat off to arsenal they deserved this game.. Great job Arsenal.. I think its really time to spend some money and get our legs fresher for next years competition.. I love you Milan....

Arsenal deserved to pass.... why not refreshing the team in the last summer?........

As i expected Arsenal won the game,they truly deserved it.

Nowadays Milan really was out of shape,Kaka was well marked so does Pirlo,we should question if Ambro is milan first 11 class,our bench is consists of Crap players and has noone to change the game,the only player that Carlo enters is Gila,who is nothing,

please spend berlusconi,please spend,thanks to you i aged 10 years today.

Dont forget our coach,he did nothing to win this game,if he entered Gourcuff or Emerson instead of Gila,we could have more chance.thank god Lippi or Mourinho are free.

I agree with Jeff (post 321)
The thing is the warning signs for such a result have existed for a while now, not only luck or experience or youth but the make up of the team as a whole. And it starts at the top, seeing things like 'going for fourth' on the official website in January (only mid season) is not what Milan should be about...

Arsenal deserved to win as much as Milan did not turn up. I'm disappointed with the way it happened, but I can take some positives out of it in that I seriously hope the board finally wake up and get some fresh blood in this team like the fans have been crying about for a few seasons.

Tiredness is just an excuse for poor form.

I thought that CL would transcend us again ... especially at home. It was the case.

Go Milan for the 3rd place now !! We have to burn Empoli this Sunday !!

PS: Kaka seemed a bit better than last weeks, so let's hope he will be back soon !!

Life has been terrible to me in the last week, I had a fight with my boss at work a left work and had terrible grades at the university (I work and study at the same time ) and now Milan is out.
I wish I can cry but I feel embarssed to do so.

P.S. My brother is Interista, I will have a very tough time at home.

We got what we deserved. Over the two legs Arsenal were the better team, simple as that.

Now, we MUST catch Fiorentina. The season is a total failure. I'm really happy Kaka have signed a new contract...

It makes me wonder why everyone in here thinks 'big' changes will happen in the summer. We are far more likely to be told everything is fine, that we don't need alot of new faces and that just 1 or 2 squad players will be enough.

Congrats to Arsenal, they deserved it and probably wanted it more than us.

well, we deserved even less, i won't say i'm glad that we lost, because no one can be glad with such result and performance, but i think we should LOSE this one, because some people from our management and Unfortunately our fans should have some Reality check, we can't still win the CL having the same team for more than 5 years, now at least with no CL and no hope of scudetto we can't hear galliani talking about how perfect we are at the end of the season, that is a blessing for me.

now what has to be changed?
simple, we need a LB and a RB, well i don't like the idea of getting zambrotta, first he past his prime, second he is 31 years old, if we need dramatic changes zambrotta will not be given us one, i think danial alves should be a top priority, zambrotta could come,(only if decent RB come also because he is not the answer we are seeking), and i don't know any decent LB maybe Laam will do the trick, but i didn't saw him play.

we need a strong midfielder, someone that can attack and defend at the same time, and keep possession i like gatusso and everything, and i think he was decent in the last game, but i don't think he is the one from 3 year ago, you can't expect him to be anyway when he reaches his 30's.

and last but not the least, we need a striker, someone strong, talented and can actually score goals, we really missed the chance of getting Ibra, he could have been the solution of our attack, other options for now would be benzema, Adebayor(he is good), or anyone that can cause troubles for the other team the whole game, even if he is not scoring, you will never ask if he was playing in that game or not.

Too bad that maldini put in such good performance, and still our team let him down in one of the worst CL performances we had in last 5 years :S.

I am actually a bit happy in the sense that I am forward thinking.

I AM very dissapointed we're out and that Paolo wont lift the trophy again, but this will make us focus on the league, and we DESPERATELY need to focus there. We are a great club, but our season in the Serie A last year wasnt the greatest, and it has felt since we won the champions league that weve been floating on air because of it. I am looking forward to a refreshed milan and an even more refreshed milan next year!!
