Not everyone?s style to lose it on a forum, but I can sort of understand them this time. The repercussions of not making CL are significant for a club in a rut like ours and with contracts running out.
In the past, when Milan lost finals or the Scudetto, there was hope of a swift recovery because of a generous ownership and football?s overall context. In the good old days, when we used to compete for titles. This fanbase has suffered Milan?s precipitous decline. Hope and patience are both in short supply after the better part of a decade.
Not my thing or yours, but I can understand why users here are melting down, especially the younger members.
It?s best to wait until Sunday to draw further conclusions, but even if we win on Sunday, yesterday was traumatic. Something really broke for a lot of fans yesterday. It confirmed worst fears and suspicions. For the superstitious, our curse continues; for the pragmatic our team was left wanting. Again.
The reasons for our failures yesterday and in recent years are well discussed here, but when you see our comprehensive limitations hit a relegation-fighting team?s wall, it?s excruciating.
For all of this to happen after such a promising start to the season?nerves are frayed. People are distrustful, scarred. I can understand it.
The last few hours haven?t been a picnic for me either.
