Monday Milan Musings

By: Gianfranco | November 5th, 2007

Well on the eve of the Rossoneri’s trip to Shakhtar I am very tempted to head over to bwin.com and throw some cash down on this game, why? Well if you look at the last few results who wouldn’t?

Milan 0 Empoli 1
Milan 3 Shakhtar 1
Milan 0 Roma 1
Samp 0 Milan 5
Milan 0 Torino 0
Milan >3 Shakhtar ?

I know I am being optimistic, but we can all see the trend. Big Ron is primed and ready for action, I wonder if he has been a strict diet of celery and rice cakes before his return to the side. The man is apparently so out of shape that in Fifa 08 he has the worst stamina on the AC Milan…by more than 10 points!!! Even EA understands the problems that man has. With all that aside I am as optimistic as everyone and really want Ronaldo to do well so maybe we can get off this erratic streak of wins and losses/draws. I do hope that Carletto does not go Brazilian crazy and keeps Gila in the attack. If Ambro or Seedorf start on the bench they can easily come in to lock down the midfield if Milan gets a goal or two, I would much rather a strong attacking formation from the start, watching them claw back from a goal down is almost as painful as watch Roma goalie Doni flail around injured.

I really believe now that all the eggs are in the Champions League basket and they have to do everything to win these games. My only fear is that they run into Arsenal or Man U in the next round and get absolutely annihilated on shear speed and youth, that game was insane on Sunday and worth a look from any fan.

Needless to say there is no better time for this team to really pick it up especially with the December Club Cup coming. A few wins here or their can really boost a team who last year played outstanding Jan-May football, lets just hope the same thing happens in 08 because without it the Rossoneri may be playing in the UEFA Cup instead of Champions League next season.

For your viewing pleasure, many thanks to Martha, check out this link of referee errors against the Rossoneri this season, it sure to make you want to smash something.

    haha, dude, go for it. seriously, that’s 7 straight games the trend’s been like that, has to count for something. and hell effing yes, that slideshow is so right. honestly, how we didn’t get a penalty for ambro against torino is beyond me…

    we should have beaten torino by 10 without any penalties. i think its a bit stupid that the club indulges in such petty things by posting a list of “refereeing mistakes” and now the fever has spread to the fans.

    soon we’ll be in serie b complaining that were really the best team in the world its just one or two decisions go against us now and then.

    The team needs a bit of maturity and accept that they are so far down the table because they have been puss, not the officials…

    well.. i gues we can only wait and pray. Milan at the moment is so unpredictable i dont know what to think and i usually have it all figured out. Now i’m just plain confused and frustated…

    If Milan don’t pick it up I may become an Inter fan..
    Just jokes, but it is a serious problem and Milan really nead to pick up some kind of rythem (hopefuly of wins)..

    patcook, i agree, of course we should have slaughtered them, with or without penalties. nonetheless, the calls have been a bit suspect..that’s football, i suppose. it’s been a rollercoaster ride thus far, let’s hope we find some consistency starting with Shakhtar and Ronnie’s return

    Arsenal is no problem. The gunners suck.
    And Manu? Did we miss those games last year? They had no chance.

    But our Serie A campaign is coming to and end if we don’t pick it up now. So like last season, I’m sure we’ll be stuck around 4th place in the table. Hopefully we can achieve CL glory yet again this year…

    the bald F*ck has screwed us over again.

    we are lacking goals, and the idiot is blaming the refs?

    WE NEED A FRICKIN STRIKER YOU BALD PIECE OF SHIT. he is God’s only mistake in this world. his gene pool is the only thing he will ever contribute to this world. argh i absolutely hate this bald faggot.

    stop making bloody excuses you waste of life, get us a striker and some fullbacks so we can complete the team and the fucker will see a change in our fortune, and results..

    Amazing… Gila up front and we’re scoreless, Pippo comes in at the 62nd minute and we score two in the next 10 minutes….

    Jamie, I know, I’m off my rocker… Do you know how difficult a year it’s been when you root for both Spurs and the Rossoneri? God hates me.

    Richard I truly feel your pain, I root for Chelsea as my EPL team and though things looked better for a while when Jose left I thought I was going to cry

    As for my real love, the boys looked well good again which means a terrible performance is on the horizon, at least it is becoming more and more predictable, any one want to put money on Milan against Atlanta…I am sure we can find some takers.
