Yeah, this defeat was predictable, we've been running a lot since November, plus we've been against the three best teams in Italy in a row. I'm still not worried about the CL spot, on Sunday Balotelli will be back and we'll have Catania at home, we just need to win that one and everybody will calm down.
Of course, if we managed to get to the 2nd place everything would've been much better, but it's fine, seeing how we started the season. Let's secure this 3rd place, buy a couple of decent players and see how we'll do in August with the CL playoffs.

I miss being a Ronaldo fan in the United/EPL days. He's amazing at Madrid but it's just not the same (la liga is boring).
Oh well, Benfica is strong this year I don't see us getting back (they're 4 points ahead now with today's win). Deserved for them, there's always next year.Gaf, has it already happen that a team went undefeated throughout a season only to finish 2nd ?
I'm talking of Porto.
Dat Pacos Ferreira. I have a bunch of friends in Pacos De Ferreira (the city/region), haven't talked to them in years, they must be ecstatic about the team's performance this year and possibly playing europe next year. I remember going with them to games when the team was still in like the 3rd or 4th division lol.
Stevan Jovetic and Fiorentina are going to take that spot from you. Only 1 point now!
And I hope like heck United beat Villa tomorrow but because the kick off is so late I'm going to miss the game. Kick off is 7am NZ time but I'll be starting work at that time so I'll record the game and watch it when I get home again.
Oh wow. Unbeatean and 2nd ? Sogno possibile.
How did Benfica manage to get all the good players they have had these last 5 years ? I remember that it was impossible for them to compete with Porto before Trapattoni arrived. Money injection, or another explanation ?
103 At Bayern Mario Gomez has the best minutes per goal ratio of all players with 20+ goals in the history of the Bundesliga.
Napoli will bottle it, you can count on that.

You mean he is above (Gerd) Müller ?
That would be unheard of. But again, Messi smashed one of his records not long ago so why wouldn't we eventually find a better striker than him in Germany. In all cases, Gomez could bring more if he played more.
Amazing that a guy like him is on the bench.

Quiche and PantyPhanton still out, the important ones.

No they're not. The junior was the most important one. All that potential. Lost.
Sometimes I dream about what other kind of posts he would have came up with.

Having only Fady as the nice guy here isn't enough as he rarely posts. Quiche needs to return. Mumei pls.

It's not bullshit after all. The "hundreds of millions" part was from a Stern article that only said "someone from the Bundesliga", not Hoeneß. When the Hoeneß stuff came out, someone put those two stories together thinking it was Hoeneß. But seems like he isn't, well, was worth a shot I guess. Wouldn't be surprised if the other one was that nasty fucker Tönnies.

I keep reading Lahm has his best season since a long time. While that might be true because he hasn't been that great in the last few years. That best RB in the Bundesliga is a myth. Stats this season:
Lahm (27 played, 0 goals, 10 assissts)
Piszczek (27 played, 2 goals, 9 assissts)
And that's the Piszczek who's hip needs surgery. Philipp please.

So bad.. and trying to obviously get the message across that it's different from the wii.
"It's so different!" "People don't know how different this is"
I remember walking through the mall with my brother and he thought the WiiU was a controller for a new wii game. lol
Nobody cares about random piszcek
THE JESUS is alright. Everyone else sucks dicks, except Rui Costa.
yup. And yes FootballFan. The casual market that Nintendo dominated with the Wii all think the same.LanceVance

How about Carvajal? :S

Don't know, Piszczek's are probably worse but like I said he really needs surgery and is pretty much just waiting for us to drop out of the CL lol. He doesn't look in shape when playing more than 2 or 3 games without a break.
And 4 of those assists are against a shitty Lille side but yeah, I guess he's better there.

Milan will hold the annual general meeting with the board and the shareholders. Galliani will probably announce a 7m loss during 2012, quite a jump from the 67m in 2011 and the 70m in 2010. Of course, a great part of it is because of the Ibra+Thiago thing, then again the club is really trying to cut everything without sacrificing the first/youth teams.
I don't see this or
this happen, to be honest.

Do Milan co-own the San Siro along with Inter ?

Along with Inter and the Milan municipality (iirc, we own 45%, Inter owns 45%, Milan municipality owns 10%).
OK, that's a nice cushion in bad times. I am actually surprised they own the stadium, and I hope they can raise their matchday and commercial revenue by making San Siro more attractive to supporters and businesses alike.
Alas, I went to San Siro once and it is located in the middle of nowhere with no decent public transportation hub nearby. A huge shame for a club like this.
PR masterstroke conducted by yours truly.
That's Txiki's job.

To be more precise nobody cares about goals and assists of right/left backs when deciding who's better at his job.
Pretty much.

Unfortunately, thinking about raising matchday revenue is pretty difficult: the general economic situation in Italy is pretty though right now, a lot of people who used to go to the stadium can't do that anymore because tickets are expansive and so on. Even Juve had to raise their tickets this year, and from time to time you can still see some holes in their standings.
And I don't think that we'll see new things in San Siro until one of the two clubs completely own it (and the municipality let said club to do whatever they want): it's an old stadium, not perfectly built (the awful grass of the past few years was there mostly because of a section of the standings built in the early 90s) which needs a lot of work to get on par with the Allianz Arena, the Santiago Bernabeu or the Juventus Stadium.
Having our own stadium would mean a lot and show how much Berlusconi actually wants Milan to grow, but of course it's expensive and it would be hard to find new investors. If we ever get some Arabian/Russian money, then a "Milan Stadium" wouldn't be unthinkable.
