..........Inzaghi.......Oliveira

[fillipo]

i think this is an excellent game to gain some confidence. But don't underestemate anderlecht they have a good solid side, but they simply are not going to play so defensly as we face in serie a.

Forza milan!!!!!!!!!!

[Walker]

Janku and Oliveira better produce soemthing tonight! Also I hope to see Pirlo at his best! Ater all he got his rest so there should be nothing in his way to prove his greatness!

[Walker]

Is Anderlecht playing 3-6-1????

[Ian]

Great chance for Pippo

[Ian]

Pirlo just wide.

[Ian]

Inzaghi close

[GattusoKing]

Kala booked

[Ian]

Yellow for Kala

[GattusoKing]

Bonera booked. Watching this guy is painful.

[Ian]

Bonera booked. Watching this guy is painful.

As is watching Seedorf...

[Walker]

****ty Real can score two and we can not even bag one???

[GattusoKing]

HT: 0-0. Anyone know what colour Milan's wearing tonight? What an ordinary side this is.

[Ian]

You can thank Galliani and his wonderful free 'gifts' for that!8[

[GattusoKing]

You know, I watched a tape from the halcyon years last night - Boban's cultured passing, Dejan's mesmerising dribbles, Desailly a colossus in midfield. What a side we once were.

Oh well, back to reality and another thrilling half.

[GattusoKing]

Bonera sent-off. This guy's a disgrace.

[GattusoKing]

Cafu on for Oliveira.

Can I just reiterate that Bonera is a disgrace. It's like the old days of Cardone playing at RB.

[GattusoKing]

Kaka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where would we be without this guy.

[Tom]

goooooooooolll

[Ian]

You know, I watched a tape from the halcyon years last night - Boban's cultured passing, Dejan's mesmerising dribbles, Desailly a colossus in midfield. What a side we once were.

Oh well, back to reality and another thrilling half.

We also had a great manager in Don fabio as well!

Lille - AEK now 1-1 as well!

[GattusoKing]

Gila for Pippo.

[Ian]

Gila for Pippo. Lets get that elusive goal now!

[GattusoKing]

Poor miss from Gila, stunning save from Dida.

[Ian]

What a save by Dida. Still the best in the world IMO

[GattusoKing]

Brocchi for Clarence.

[Danny]

Performance has been alright although we're hanging on at the end a bit.

One thing stands out though; what right does Clarence Seedorf have to impersonate a professional footballer?

He's been so pitiful I wouldn't know where to start.

A disgrace to the jersey imho.

[GattusoKing]

FT: 0-1. An improved 2nd half display after that misfit who calls himself Bonera left the field (hopefully, Milan will leave him in Belgium). We can't keep relying on Kaka to dig us out of the mire though; without him I shudder to think what we'd be.

Very impressive display from Marek. His most authoritative display for the club, IMO.

Absolute concurrence.

[Il Guerriero]

Victoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy:d:d:d:d:d

[Call Me 7 Cups]

victory thanks god (kaka) but i'm getting tired :(

[fillipo]

wow what a mouth full of prejiduces and always blaming the same old ****.........

i cannot say it was a good game, but blaming seedorf?? why besides the wonderfull goal kaka was far more worse then seedorf also pirlo was most of the time invicible..... in my eyes seedorf played an ok game nothing special.

also bonera cannot be blamed for sending of both his cards were giving on childest manners, i believe bonera is also doing ok so far.

pipo worked really hard i love to see him in this way, unfortunatly he didn't score tonight while he did had several opportunities.

dida what a superb save!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bravo, to bad he again couldn't hold on to a ball right at him in the end of the game.

This side has still much to aprove but i cannot agree with all your comments maybe its just me?

[Santi]

Finally we get a much needed win...hopefully the team will pick up more confidence from this.

Thank goodness for Kaka, but he can't carry us all season long.


FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!

[GattusoKing]

Seedorf was his usual self, IMO. Lethargic, sloppy in distribution, dithery, yet I find it difficult to get too irked with him as at least he's attempting something positive, by and large; I see the intention.

Bonera, meanwhile, reminds me very much of De Ascentis in that he's way out of his depth at Milan. He's a beacon of ineptitude, IMO, and I just hope beyond hope that he's involved in some sort of swap deal involving Oddo in January, as I can't tolerate this shambles of a player for too much longer.

[Haroon]

Inidividual brilliance saved the day for us. We were lucky that that header from the Anderlecht player thudded into the cross bar instead of going in at the death. Nervy moments. It was pretty close to being a draw in the end.

Bonera gets his chance and he gets a red. What a shambles! Pippo missed far too many chances. Gila also squandered a golden chance he should have connected with properly at least.

[swissmilan]

Bonera was a real disgrace yesterday. He's certainly no Cafu, but getting sent off in a match and in a way like this is a shame. IMO this 2 yellows were well deserved (+ he had 2-3 more fouls). I hope too that Oddo is replacing him in winter, although Cafu had quite a good game, but we can't just rely on him for the whole season.

Marek played one of his best games for Milan and did what Bonera couldn't/can't too on his side: Go forward and cross.

[Nicolas]

I think it was an okay match, but our strikers are really our of form.

I think Bonera´s second yellow was unfair, it wasn´t like he kicked the ball far away, it was only 5 meters or something like that, but it shows that he lacks the disipline necessary for a player of this club.

On the other hand Marek was amazing as a LB, he was good in defence and going forward. he is finally showing his worth here.

I don´t see why Gila is blamed so much for that chance, there wasn´t much he could do, as the ball was behind him, he COULD have scored there, but it wasn´t a golden chance as someone say

[Haroon]

Since you have a problem to read properly, I will post my statement again for your convenience.

Gila also squandered a golden chance he should have connected with properly at least.

What is basically being said is that it was a golden chance that he should have "connected with properly" at least. I didn't slag him off that it was a must chance to score. Then again, this problem would not be there if you read it properly the first time around.

[fillipo]

agree what you say but with clarence you just say it he plays only at one speed (his own speed). and that is what most people hate about him and start yelling that he is a bad player. Yesterday his distribution wasn't really good but he didn't lost more balls then our other players in fact i think he kept the most in the team, did you saw yesterday wich player was always aible to make himself free to collect every time again the ball? i don't say seedorf played great yesterday but he was normal and there were severall players who performed even less then normal and their names are not mentioned. After seedorf was subbed for brocchi milan came under a bigger pressure partly to blame we missed our building point on the midfield and we couldn't keep the ball much more in our team. To make it short it might look awfull but i think seedorf still is of a good value for the team.

About bonera for oddo i also wouldn't mind but i also still saw some good actions of him and i think with a bit more patience he can be a good player for us.

Excuse me, did I ring your number? Hmm no I don´t think so, nor do I care for your opinion of my ability to read.

[Haroon]

All answers on page 5 when you dialled in.

[Nicolas]

I did not talk about you.
The word golden chance is by no means a reference to you, but simply a word caught when I browsed through the thread.

I don´t bother to deal with infloated egoes

[Filipez]

this game wasnt that bad, anderlecht almost had no real chances and we had some with pippo, oliveira and gila. we never had real problems. and bonera didnt deserve that red card!

Most of our players had an OK game, but jankulovski was our best player of the night IMO. defensively solid and very good crossing. hope to see more of that!!

forza milan!

[artan]

lucky win. problems remain, we need reinforcements.that should have been Carlo's and Galliani's post match coments. and not waha, great game , great victory , well deserved and blah blah blah. we are struggling people , like never before. everyone can see it , only carlo and co dont see it.

did you enjoyed the game from inside the stadium? it looked a very nice atmosphere on tv?

[Filipez]

well yeah, it looked like milan had everything under control. the atmosphere, well i didnt like it, i was sitting in the anderlecht side so i couldnt scream or celebrate... i had to be quiet the whole game so...

in two weeks i'm going to san siro, i'm hoping for a big milan victory becouse i'm sick of all those anderlecht fans who say bad things about milan, let them shut up for a while! :D

yep i know the feeling had the same with the psv games in the semi finals away and home!

Sometimes its just hard being a milan supporter:D

[Leffe]

I was also there Filipez but with the good guys and screamed like hell we all screamend before the ball hit the net, you saw it went in. All frustrations from last 4 games came out with every suppoter in our stand ;) Damm what a rush :p

About the game first half Seedorf sucked always skipped one man in building , couldn't believe it, when we came with 10 suddenly he played good and gave the right passes.

Dida incridible !!! What a save on Tchité's chance :clap:


It was worth every cent :) and the best was at Milan club there was a tombola and I won head price = ticket for Milan vs merda in 2 weeks olé olé so i'll be at San Siro in 2 weeks :)

WOW thats really great!! the dream of every supporter :D:D

Hope you'll have a great time

[Leffe]

It's really a dream come true and for free :p I love it

[fillipo]

to come back to the Bonera story you guys can be happy because it seems that the oddo deal for january is almost 100% sure. Galliani told the press that he wanted oddo already for a long time but not against everyprice, but he also says that the right price seems to be reached in January.

Sounds great, I really hope it happens in January:)

[Foreverkaka']

firstly i dont want seedorf,Marek and cafu at Milan,with them,The scudetto is a dream,champions is a fantasy with them.

back to the game,good inzaghi,good perfonmances by Kaka,Dida and Pirlo as well.

as for gila,thats how funny he escaped from the ball instead of kicking it to empty goalie,gila wake up,you are at Milan,biggest club in the world.

[fillipo]

both marek and cafu played very well in this game just to mention

you say good performances of kaka and inzaghi, i love these players so much but stay real kaka played an awfull first half maybe if he didn't scored his wonderfull goal he would have played a poor game. pipo worked so hard he is wonderful to see in this game but he also missed several chances not really big ones but still.... not like pipo style

[Foreverkaka']

im talking about all games not this game as im talking about winning the champions not a game vs a weak team

[Foreverkaka']

i want to say is,with Seedorf,Cafu and Marek,The scudetto is a dream,champions is a fantasy

[fillipo]

strange because both seedorf and cafu are more champions then 90% of all players in the world.

But i understand what you mean and its your right to think about it i believe it's a bit shortminded especially on marek who was 2 years ago one of the best of his kind, a couple of bad games giving up all hopes for him i rather not!

Forza marek
Forza cafu
Forza Seedorf

Simply fabulous news if true! Where abouts did you hear this fillipo?

[fillipo]

Simply fabulous news if true! Where abouts did you hear this fillipo?

i've red it on 3 dutch sites, 2 of them are more gossip but one is very reliable so i guess there is lots of truth in it, but they didn't reveale their source. i guess tomorrow in the italian sportpapers there will be also this story.

[Leffe]

I also read it on 2 sites and on belgian text ;) let's hope so :)

[Il Guerriero]

I really hope that Oddo comes right now in january
