Bonera is coming.. yeah maybe we will reach a 9-1 result ..
-.-
Sell Balo I can’t stand watching Italian soccer
I personally was hopeful for the project seedorf was obviously working on. even with poor quality players you could see we had superior game play. it was only a matter of time before we started getting better players and or having our poor players get better. its really not time to judge the work inzaghi is doing but I still think that we should have held on to seedorf regardless of whatever bashful approach he used. the club has been associated with mediocrity for too long so anything bringing results should be held on too at all cost
Maybe city 17 vs 1 inzaghi,bonerro,zaccardo,muntari nd galliani
Ya’ll can bash at Agazzi as much as you can, but the whole defense have been crap and they aren’t organized at all. Just a bad idea going on trip like this when the team aren’t ready.
Stop dreaming of Ochoa,he don’t have an EU passport
One thing I noticed (if not everyone) is that we look very dangerous on dead ball situations. #beingpositive
Been the same for at least 4 years against decent teams, they pass and move quickly to create chances, while Milan have zero tempo and create the odd chance by accident
Our main problem in the past few years has been in midfield.. We are always overrun in midfield which leaves our defence exposed and our attack isolated and we look disjointed without cover and no proper build up play.. The management always do the same mistake in trying to go for wingers or attackers and completely ignore our weak midfield.. Any decent team in the world should have a good midfield and ours is mediocre at best.. How about instead of going after cerci for 18 or 20m we spend 5m on Taarabt and invest the rest in a proper… Read more »
I give up.. :(
Just a figure I want to throw out there. On my rough calculations Milan have net spent around £10m since they won the CL in 2007. Even a team like Aston Villa have spent around 90m in that time.
u must be kidding we paid 24 for ibra alone
Yeh I’m talking net though. The sales of Kaka, Ibra and TS add up to way more than 100m
I don’t know if I have to comment, though I don’t av any pain cause I don’t expect anything from Milan anymore. more misery await milan. take it or leave zero your mind till Milan start producing results. if you dwell in the past you cant move forward. aye Milan ti wo, Olorun lo le tunes.
MY PREDICTION WAS THAT WE WILL LOSE 7-0
ACTUALLY WE DID BETTER -_____-
OUR TEAM IS SH*T
Wen will galliani end up is life..i hope soon cos am very tired of all dis disgrace imagine 5-1.
We are a laughing stock of a team.
Out galliani and Berlusconi needs to take some shame on his face!!
Situation whereby all ur friends will watch Milan play just to laugh at you at the end of every games. I don’t even get close to my phone when Milan play these days because I can’t defend myself again as I ran out of excuses long before now.
Very shameful situation we are. Galliani is the most shameless human being on planet along with Berlusconi who makes Milan a laughing stock after making Milan a great club in the start.
I know the feeling bro, I know the feeling of getting laughed at and getting embarassed by your friends because of Milan, I have totally had it with Galliani and Berlusconi, may god save us from this suffering!
stephan ruffier is also for free and if we must buy scuffet please
THIS CLUB IS REALLY A STUPID CLUB!!,,DAMN THAT FOOLS RULING IT
Here I come again……. I will only give my own opinion! Firstly Milan should table money for Vicent Enyeama,Isco,cerci,Adan turan,Ranioccha or ogbona,Onazi,juwan,Loan Emeruwo frm chelsea, let Agazzi,honda,zaccardo,Essien,Alex,Robinho,muntari and pazzini go away for another club………… Mexes with Rami/zapata are still the best cb we have let mexes be the defence leader advice him to improve on his pace simple! Rami problem is much so he need a leader for now which I think is mexes,constant should be put back to the midfield mostly dM with de jong while christante as back up, saponara,Balotelli and mastur for AM, Menez/masture/Balotelli/saponara on the rw… Read more »
Another sameful game 5-1 this is so shameful even iyenacho d young nigerian pulled one for dem and none of d att could score el sharaawhy has been a flop since d start of d season not to talk of niang i hope b&g knows dis is just d begining of our woes of d season more will come milan is going no were u think players like agazzi retard menez alex and flop like poli will get u da cup pls dey should not even think of giovani dos santos dat dead wood dis season milan is going to… Read more »
Look guys. It’s no excuse, but we should also remember that other teams are ahead of us in terms of preparation. Not only do we have a new coach who is trying to implement his playing style and ideas to the team – a team who is in need for improvement – the other teams are also ahead of us in terms of fitness, as Serie A starts later than the others, for example City now. This is terrible for morale, but also important for the management to witness. Still waiting for Menez to play, and honestly, Niang is still… Read more »
i cannot support this club anymore i think ..iam trying but i was a fan of a club playing in champions league for the highest aims ..i dont know but iam just not supporter of amateur teams
Then you dont belong here. If you are a true fan, you support the team through good and bad, not only when Milan plays in the UCL.
its true i dont belonghere anymore, thats what i meant ! take care guyz..
Main reason is that we have a owner that simple doesnt care about his club anymore. Simple as that. If he cared just a little bit he would fired Galliani long time ago. Berlusconi let Galliani destroy the club, because he doesnt care anymore. SIMPLE AS THAT
Milan should withdraw from this competition immediately. it isn’t improving the fitness level and its greatly reducing confidence. we should continue playing seria c teams and winning 2-0 then play teams like regina , QPR etc towards the end of the preseason. we need one midfield maestro but very few are affordable in the market. I’d say get isco at all cost. Damian and tarabt. its more important to release our poor playing players than signing better ones right now though
Are you serious? play against Serie C teams? how are we suppose to know our strength and weakness if our preseason matches are against weaker teams than us, Or have you forgotten that we’re gonna face Napoli, Juve, Roma and Inter in the League
Are these players deliberately loosing so as to get Berlu invest? When we win matches like dis, management will go to sleep feeling we have a winning team… I just don’t know wat to think or say anymore, am just confused, plus so so ashamed, I have become a laughing stock already in my house, hope they don’t even see this scoreline again.
I don’t think we should have let Dorf left the club cos now its telling on us badly we need a coach who can mke up his mind on what to do and not wait for some coach who will be directed ny Galliani
Milan seems lost, and whom to blame other than the board. The moment they saw improvement, they decided to bash out, force players to say otherwise and sack a coach who had made milan a team that’s worth of playing. Yet another coach has been hired with better players than seedorf had, yet we get thrashed by teams just as usual. I respect inzaghi, but seedorf clearly made players to realize they are playing for milan and only the best is playing and the rest can look for other clubs. With inzaghi, he’s giving everyone a chance. He’ll realise, hopefully… Read more »
Almost getting to the stage where we should join up with inter…
hahahahahahahaha Milan is over.
I’m staying close to the hotel milan are staying at(I got all the players to sign my shirt and most to take a picture with) but I saw rami balo mexes and abbiati smoking and stayin out late. Ya I guess that’s not bad but how does that prepare you forthe next day or for the next season? I was quite upset seeing them. People like El shaarawy were up in their room just resting and said he will be ready for tomorrow like a true champion. Two games now where we’ve lost and badly. I just hope it’s because… Read more »
really? Interesting but i am not surprised now i know why Rami wanted to come so bad because he seems to Think that Milan is a playground mexes is a disgrace and only Think of himself Balo hasnt learned anything he will never change Abbiati is the only one i am ok with doing that because he hasnt been playing and is a gk but still i am a Little dissapointed if he is going to be like that then you can go and retire where is the professinalism? El shaarawy i like very much he seems to be a… Read more »
Alex was so slow! I knew he would be slow the moment I saw his face and physique for the first time when he was rumoured to be joining Milan. Man, he’s just another Acerbi :(
We should spend a few mil to keep Taraabt. If you realise, Milan won’t sell players with poor performance if they have good camaraderie with the rest of the team (e.g. Robinho, Bonera, most other Italian players). I want Taraabt to stay. I bet you Honda will be sold at the end of this upcoming season.
Where are those two Italians who were bashing Seedorf on this blog all this time? Now u got what u wanted.This is just the beginning..hahahaha AC Sh*tlan
AC Milan 1899 – 2014
Why even bother taking part in this competition and not even try to win? What PR or marketing strategy is this? Americans will always remember Milan as a pathetic club.. losers to the core.. whipping boys.
sacking galliani, and hire maldini this year would be the most succesfull mercato..
I was at the game and yeah constant and agazzi, especially agazzi were horrible, he should’ve been subbed out at half. On a brighter note cristante looked very good in my opinion and muntari did a descent job as well…I’m not sure what kind of a player Poli is? He doesn’t defend well and doesn’t go forward well…
Wooa woooa this preseason is horrible. and i feel poli will be the next nocerino. good at first season then flop the 2nd. Poli first season is average though. The whole squad is full of dissapointment. milan better think fast to correct the situation.
This team needs:
New GK,DC,DC,LB,MC,RW,SC.
New:GM
NEW OWNER !
Milan need a new owner….I wept to see my milan like this…..gila and bellu koni da fun yin
I don’t know why .when people say they cant support a loosing club like milan. People come with this comment(ure nt a true milan fan u should go support teams like psg or madrid ,) den I ask my self y did support at first not bcus of their victories y don’t jst support atalanta.
Inzhagi should realize that he could not bring Milan to the top level with a 4-3-3 formation. He need to be more flexible. Milan must be able to adapt smoothly from one formation to others during the game.
The better player milan can go for sare Giovani Dos santos,Angelo ogbona,isco,cerci,onazi and Enyeama,toni with the return of pirlo will actually help out.
Galliani is a big failure in management! Even verona has a better market than us!!!
Thank god i found out the score AFTER eid
am sorry for we fans
What happen?? 3-0,and then 5-1..not the real ac milan !! Galliani,Contant,muntari,Niang,Agazzi,Bonera,Zaccardo,Robinho,and Balloteli they’ll send Ac Milan into serie B…
Meytar I suggest to add an age field while submitting a comment so we can know if we need to reply or not.. this blog is full of kids!!
There’s no excuse for this galliani, spend money or go kill yourself
our team needs…a new owner,new talent seekers,Galliani out
a new GK
4 decent defenders (not like constant,bonera,zaccardo,mexes,albertazzi)
3 midfielders (not like muntari,essien,robinho)
a decent CF (not like clown flopotelli)
