The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

Pep praised Pioli [Sky]:

"... from Milan last year with Pioli. They are good, it's not throwing the ball forward, everyone behind and wait for the counterattack."

I love how he said Pioli... last year.

He beat Inter while undermining his own success by bribing refs? And now he hints at his disgust with Pioli's transformation from impressive to bum?

Wow, I'm such a huge Pep fan.

Did I mention that Inter lost?

Inter have less than half as many CL titles as we do?

Dude, you need to shut the fuck up. You sound like a whiney little bitch.

Djoko and Nadal are neck and neck imo. 1 win separates the 2 overall, with Nadal leading by more than that in majors. They split head to heads in the 4 majors. Nadal in France and USA and Djokovic in Australia and Wimbledon. It's impossible to pick one over the other.

The nice thing about tennis is that it's a head to head game. And the 3 greatest players of all time, played in the same era against each other. Sure, you could make a slight argument that Fed was aging a bit when Nadal and Djoko were in their prime, but still, he was at the top when they came along, so he faced them in his prime.

Impossible to call Federer a goat when he doesn't even have a better head to head against either one of Djoko/Nadal.

The other two like I said, neck and neck. Impossible to call it. Nadal's body is now broken though and he is done. Djokovic will probably win a few more majors and lead the all time record and likely never be overtaken. But again, no matter how many majors he wins after Nadal's done, in terms of the goat conversation, I think you only have to look at the years they shared together. And in those years, it's impossible to call it.

Longevity is also an asset.
Its amazing how this is always brushed off when it require hard work & dedication.

 

[Samaldinho]

Mbape is Milanista too

Maybe PSG are going after Thuram... to replace Mbappe... who comes to play ST/RW here?

Moncada, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

The fuck
Sam has been going crazy after Maldini & only recently started to calm down & yet you go like this on a normal quote.

 

[ChinaMilan]

The trend wasnt encouraging since he took full power.
There was also no signs that he will get back to how he begone leading a team rather than a one man show.

I believe if redshit wanted to find a middle ground they would, but from what we know decision was already made before the meeting, it seems to me it is a difference of ambtion that caused the break, while maldini from press stated he wanted ready players, redshit want free and young players who can improve and then sell, i wish i have half the confidence the fans here has on redshit when they only show signs of greed, at least with maldini you know he would do what he thinks the best for the club , not the best of his pocket, even though he fucked up last mercato which laughable considering the other teams mercato, but still for his overall work he deserves another chance to redeem himself even with restrictions, what redshit did to our legend is just wrong and humilating , and even none milan fans would agree on that regardless if you love the man or not.

 

[Samaldinho]

Apparently Lens are asking 45m for Openda? Damn.

 

[ACMilanello]

Djokovic is officially a tennis goat

But they will probably say that Federer is goat because he played nicer tennis and has nicer hair than Djoko or that Nadal has nicer muscles.

Djoko has stacked titles after Federer and Nadal exhausted their bodies playing each other for 10 years. With the best tennis the world has ever seen. Even with 3 majors being on hard surfaces, and a beaten body, Nadal still has better h2h in majors.

Not only that, but look who’s actually saying it.

Sam is a gent. He seldom responds to provocation. The couple of times he has, it’s been embarrassing for the forum trolls.

Novak is a year younger than Nadal

 

[ACMilanello]

Novak is a year younger than Nadal

And he was nowhere near Fedal when they were at their best physically

 

[nefremo]

That's when you know dude's talking with bias. You could make an argument for Nadal, of course. As you can with Djokovic. But what he brought up is not one of them.

 

[Deleted member 35916]

And he was nowhere near Fedal when they were at their best physically

I don't get it, Novak got better as he aged and yet the word "physically" is being used?

Alcaraz was cramping against Novak in the semis couple days ago. A 20 year old was cramping when playing against a 36 year old

Djokovic va Nadal
Titles 94-92
Grand slams 23-22
Tour finals 6-0
Masters 38-36
Weeks at no 1 387-209
Head to head 30-29
Djoko is a goat

 

[ACMilanello]

Djoko was literally irrelevant when Federer and Nadal were at their peak. That's not bias, that's just reality. He started stacking titles when Nadal's body started to deteriorate, and Federer got old.

 

[Cloren]

Okay now maybe this is something I can get behind?

Joking joking

 

[Zgontronoman]

Arsenal, agreement reached for the renewal of Nelson until 2027​

Linked to us few days ago

Moncada masterclass.

 

[Cloren]

Good luck Brahim.
And hopefully you make us regret how we let you go.

Carlo will ensure of that don’t you worry

Brahim could be the next Messi and it would have still been the right decision to let him go. Pioli isn’t the manager to develop him further.

 

[Dena]

Djoko was literally irrelevant when Federer and Nadal were at their peak. That's not bias, that's just reality. He started stacking titles when Nadal's body started to deteriorate, and Federer got old.

So Djoko has won 23 Grand Slams and 38 Masters in the last four years.

I love how "Nadal's body started breaking down" is a valid argument against Novak.

Djokovic recognizing Ibra and Giroud in his vistory speech

Here's a video of it. I like Djokovic btw, he's a really great player and ofc a Milanista.
Too bad he didn't mention Theo aswell.

The greeting of #BrahimDiaz to #Milan :
"Dear Milan, today I have to say goodbye and thank you for everything we've experienced together. From the first moment I wore this shirt, I knew I was in a special place. My teammates. You have been like family to me "because we shared laughter, tears and success. You taught me the true meaning of effort and teamwork. Heartfelt thanks also to the coach, staff, doctors and people at the club.

And to you fans, what can I say!? You are the best. With your support and passion, you have pushed us through every game. Your chants and energy made every moment on the pitch unforgettable. I am truly grateful for all the love and encouragement you have shown me during my time here. I know that in both good and bad times you will continue to cheer and support this team.

This goodbye does not mean that I will forget you. I will always carry in my heart the memories of the moments we lived together, such as important goals, exciting victories and crazy celebrations. But also the difficult moments that made us stronger as a team. I greet you with nostalgia, but also with emotion for what is to come. Go Milan".

This made me sad

Because it made reflect on how shitty I’ve talked about him. Such a gem of a person he is and I’ve said dickish things about him.

Thank you for everything Diaz, for showing passion and love to this club. For your valuable goals and assists against Napoli/Tottenham and most importantly, for that wonder goal vs Juventus. I really hope you rock it at Madrid. Give Carlo another league title will ya and a CL if it’s not at our expense

 

[DonSilvio]

Djoko was literally irrelevant when Federer and Nadal were at their peak. That's not bias, that's just reality. He started stacking titles when Nadal's body started to deteriorate, and Federer got old.

You're gonna have to forgive Novak for not peaking at the same rate and time as his rivals. You can't be serious with this take

 

[Wild]

Carlo will ensure of that

 

[Cloren]

Oh my god I wasn’t prepared to watch this

 

[Zgontronoman]

Djoko has stacked titles after Federer and Nadal exhausted their bodies playing each other for 10 years. With the best tennis the world has ever seen. Even with 3 majors being on hard surfaces, and a beaten body, Nadal still has better h2h in majors.

Federer had 0 competition for the first 5 years of his career, and has a positive score vs both.

 

[Forza AC Milan]

On another note, too bad about Roma and Fiorentina, but Italy had their best showing in European competition ever. They will start ahead of the Bundesliga and not all that far from Spain in the coefficients ranking.

This was a great year for Italy. Almost matched premier league coefficients before all the loses in the finals, 2 of which were to EPL teams. That hadn’t happens in like 17/18 years.

It would have been great if at least Fiorentina had qualified for Europa league by winning either the Copa or Conference League. They perform well in Europe generally and I think they would have had a good run in the Europa League too if they keep Italiano.

Next year will be worse than this year though. You have Lazio who are complete rubbish and who has an owner that thinks a summer market of 20 million is a massive market of some sort.
Also Napoli with a new coach might not be as strong.

 

[Forza AC Milan]

A small English club won the CL beating merda in the final with Voodoo donkey f up 2 clear goals... Man what a night

Used to be small. They are rivaling Madrid in brand value now and are far far ahead of us on that and in revenue. Bitter bitter truth that I hate buts it’s reality

 

[ACMilanello]

I don't know when you guys started watching Tennis. But we're talking about who's GOAT here. The finals between Nadal and Federer are widely recognized as the best tennis the world has ever seen, this is not a controversial take. Djokovic wasn't part of that because he was irrelevant at the time, why shouldn't that be taken into consideration?

And yes, I think injuries is a valid argument if we're talking about GOATS. Nadal has more GS wins in less appearances, even with surfaces favoring hard surface players.

I'll stop. Now on to Milan.

 

[BillyTheKid]

When did this place become a tennis forum?

 

[killerkid]

Maybe PSG are going after Thuram... to replace Mbappe... who comes to play ST/RW here?

Moncada, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

Could it be the masterplan the whole time..?
