    sam – a pretty candid assessment of kaka. imo his play also suffered because he is not fully fit and is still healing from his latest injury.

    fifaguy – dont know if you saw my comment a couple of posts back but i think this entire man c circus was rigged by berlu and fester just to sell him during the summer and then claim that they didnt sell him for money but let him go only cause he wanted to – i think he’s got disillusioned with the entire way that was handled plus berlu and fester’s comments on not spending in the summer window etc are not going to be helping matters – i think he’s being pushed out by the 2 of them for the money more than the fact that he wants to go

    Ronnies performance today underlined why I think he deserves one more season at Milan to prove himself. He still has more than enough to make a big impact and, although todays goal was lucky, he has scored quite a few winning goals for us even tho he hasnt been a regular.

    “Tonight the game was won by Ancelotti, who decided to play the second half with a 4-2-4 formation, placing Pato on the right and Ronaldinho on the left,”

    If he gets credit for tonights victory, which im happy to give to him, then he gets the blame for all the losses too.

    pat, histoirally speaking Milan has always been nipped by relegation teams especially late in the season. Plus some relegation teams get hungry and start winning just at the right time. Look at Chievo in the past month, considering there run of form that was a pretty unpredictable uptick!”

    GF, i think historically at the end of seasons in italy the teams that need the points get it. Its long been assumed that theres an unspoken agreement between the teams that if you dont need any points and the other team does than you dont play to ur best. Id hate to think teams still did this but if you want to draw on history i think ur reading it wrong by saying relegation teams are unpredictable.

    Milan needed the points today and went after them, but if we were 7 or more points ahead of Genoa I think we probably wouldnt have won.

    ya’ll can call it denial, naivete, etc. but i refuse to lose trust in kaka! i always hoped he would stay in the winter, and now that milan are coming to the US, he WILL be with the team so i can c him in person. i believe he isnt fully fit yet; he may have finally played 90 minutes for brazil, but that was wednesday, of course he’s still tired.

    i too think shevchenko has done well..i dunno if he should be given a start but surely more playing time than he gets at the moment..

    pat your point was documented in two books winning at all costs and the italian job and I amm with yon on it, but my goal with the unpredictably notion was that relegation teams, even in the EPL, can be a bit erratic and tough to gameplan against when they are in a relegation dog fight. Just like a back alley brawl, you don’t know what you are going to get…

    Well, I think we fought hard and deserve the win.

    I cannot stand Kaka’s little attitude though. He better get in shape quickly. his form today was garbage!!

    good win, we fought til the end.
    3 points
    FORZA MILAN

    I trust Kaka. If Milan can buy a few good players,then I think he will stay. And Carlo finally saw that CrapDorf was useless,subbing him quite early in the 2nd half. Usually he would have stayed on till 75 mins. Good to see Dinho and Sheva do well.

    great win today, Pato obviously came up huge as he never gave up running at defenders until the last whistle. Ronaldinho definately got lucky on the goal but getting on the scoresheet and garnering some praise from Carlo after months of public scrutiny can only serve him as a confidence booster. when it comes to Kaka, im not worried about him leaving.. he played a great game vs Peru & like Ranjeet said he’s probably just tired. (Hey at least he didnt snub us and stay in Brazil ala Adriano!) : )

    Ranjeet and Samuel I’m with you completely on Kaka.

    He just traveled 18 hours and this was his second game is what 5 weeks? How can we judge him that harshly. If he wanted to leave he wouldn’t have been celebrating Senderos/Dinho’s goal today. He would have stayed on the bench. If he wanted to leave I think he would have left during January…maybe not to Man C but somewhere else. Berlu said that Kaka is not sellable and won’t be going anywhere at least until the end of his contract. He’s done loads of interviews where he’s said things to the people interviewing him welcome to my home (at Milanello) and stuff like that…the guy wouldn’t say stuff like that if he wanted to leave.

    I’m sorry, I’m just sick of people saying…he’s leaving just wait and see.

    Kaka is clearly underdone. He looked it for Brazil too. I liked Ancelotti’s use of the bench this time. It should leadership and courage, and he got his just rewards.

    One thing though, the ultras booing Seedorf is gone too far. Ok the man is not in form but it’s Ancelotti who is picking him, and frankly I don’t have faith that Beckham would have done that much better. Beckham had been playing progressively badly and needed to be benched.

    But all the same, this Seedorf, a loyal champion of the club. The fans at the San Siro need to have a hard look at themselves.

    the fans have had a hard look at themselves and theyve been watching seedorf not breaking a sweat for a whole season and still getting picked in the starting xi. get off and shut up is what theyre saying.

    i think people are jumping the gun with kaka, all the reports of him leaving are coming from bullshit rags like marca who cliam ronaldo had signed last year and he has said he wants to stay with milan. i think i would rather trust his word over theirs and madrid are a joke of a club anyway, if kaka thinks milan is run poorly then he will get a big shock if he joins them.

    Yeah thats true,Ronan. Marca and AS are 2 of the most bullshit papers with their heads stuck up Madrid’s ass.

    I’m just glad we got that precious 3 points in this win. Not one of the best by Milan, but I’m quite happy for this victory.

    As for the Kaka to Madrid, good god, it’s not yet summer and the rumors has started again? somebody give those people in Marca and AS a hobby so they can spend their time on other things than writing about Kaka signing for Madrid. Oh wait, making sh*& story is THEIR hobby.
