Out for a walk.
From the few clips I have seen of Allegri since his arrival, he always seemed to be rushing towards his car. Is it because he can’t wait to get started or get away from the manipulative Furlani? Or more realistically hiding from the journalists so he can avoid answering difficult questions targeted at the management. Or holding it in as toilets in Casa Milan are dirty as well?
Some people just don't feel comfortable pooping in public bathrooms. Gotta go home and sit upon the throne.

There is an unseen toxic environment in Milan right know, to see many players wanting out including Calabria, the longest-serving player here. To see player like Tijji talk about Milan like that. This is where Maldini's role is missed.

This shit is starting to become embarrassing.

Its been absolutely unreal how poorly this thing has been marketed... I'm like the perfect target audience and hadn't seen anything until some ads started a couple weeks ago during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Just wild that they've done this terrible a job in building interest.

I think part of the problem is that European teams have been doing summer friendlies here for forever, and those games are usually like a half of starters/notable players followed by a half with a ton of fringe roster players/youth team players (I personally thought Nnamdi Oduamadi was going to be a star after seeing him vs Inter in Boston in 2009 lol), so I think they really needed to hammer home in marketing that this is actually teams playing top players in a competitive environment, and they've utterly failed at that.

One of my buddies is a huge Chelsea fan, and asked a couple of us to come down to Philly next week for Chelsea vs Flamengo, so I'm curious to see what its like in person

Monday was a key day: once the sale of Musah to Napoli was completed, AC Milan promised an initial proposal to Valencia for Guerra. Javi has made it known that he prefers the Rossoneri over the other offers he has received @cmdotcom

Javi, elegance and dynamism. With Allegri he can become a top

This is our ideal type of player to be going for- young, has shown something at a decent level, but is still affordable and has a lot of upside.

Jashari isn't bad but he needs one more season imo
I always worry in this type of situation, it feels like over my years of being a Milan fan, we get linked to a lot of players but don't close the deal because "they need one more season" and then after that season we can no longer afford them and end up with a lesser player.

I still think about how often we were linked with Hernanes in 2009 to 2010, but we never pulled the trigger and he went on to Lazio and ended up having a quality career in Italy. Would have been a far better replacement for Seedorf than what we ended up doing

I really like this move.

I think Gattuso is much better suited to coach a national team than a club team. International football is a very different thing than club- you get such little time with players on the international level that tactics need to be more simple, and the outcome far more frequently comes down to individual players making something happen, rather than things having come from a system. Defense is hugely important, and focusing on structure more consistently results in success as opposed to pressing, because its tougher to effectively press with the limited practice time.

With Gattuso, he has always put a big focus on defensive structure, with relatively conservative build up play in the attack. That's perfect for the international game, make yourself hard to score on, and hope you can generate something offensively. Either counter after winning the ball back, or build from the back, create overloads out wide, send balls in for Retegui or Kean, with Barella and Tonali running into the box...

Plus Gattuso is a WC winner and has a ton of fire and passion, that's the perfect person to provide an example and make an impact in the short period of time he'll have with the team.

Femininity / masculinity is not only visual

I am speaking in very broad terms, full of generalisations and this is only my personal opinion but I see that the more Eastern you go, the more feminine the women are. I think that women in the West have become more masculine, especially in their actions, since they embraced liberal movements like feminism (ironic).
The last woman I lived with, of Scottish descent, used to beat me regularly at arm wrestling.

I agree. Sometimes its good to just buy the player but knowing our coaching we won't play them and then they end up developing elsewhere (ex. Locatelli).

The best era of good looking woman were the 60's... coz they were beautiful all around the world.. than the hippie movement took over and destroy feminine beauty.

Italy had a ton of beautiful actresses at one time: My fave Claudia Cardinale, Sophia Loren, Virna Lisi, Gina Lollobrigida, Monica Vitti, Silvana Mangano, Lea Massari, and later Monica Bellucci.

i don't think its necessary, but i don't care if a woman decides to go for it. i don't judge titties i perceive them.
The problem with fake boobs is that they're hard to the touch, like you're caressing a tire or something. I prefer them soft and not too large.

Mods - can we have a “go back 10 pages button”

Useful to catch up if you’ve missed a few days (activated from the last page)

Please consider

Prefer him to jashari. Been very well in la liga, a safer option. I like jashari but he's more of a gamble
Yeah honestly we need to stop buying from tier 2 leagues. Hasn’t really worked out for us.

Reijnders is the obvious exception. But most of our other good players came from a top 5 league

No liverpool, Barcelona, Milan, MU. ICCs were more interesting than this world cup

Guerra - Xhaka - Fofana is a pretty decent midfield tbh

Our defence is in shambles though. Don’t trust a single damn player
