This bitching about the refs is pathetic, all teams have bad calls against them, and other calls that are favorable. Look at the PK we got from Maxi when he wasnt even touched as a recent example. Refs make mistakes sometimes, and it goes against all teams.

We are much more forgetful of calls that go in our favor than we are of ones that go against us.

If we dont win the league it is our fault.

WE lost 1-3 at Napoli
WE lost 0-2 at Juve
WE lost 0-1 to a shit Inter team
WE lost 0-2 to Lazio
WE lost to a shit Fiorentina team

yeah injuries played a part, but we still havent done enough

Injuries have played a huge part, would we have scored more goals and won more games with Pato and Cassano available for more than they have been, If our midfield didnt seem to be constantly changing between what would normally be backup and rotation players. The defence has been the least affected department but even lately that has been taking a hit with no Nesta or Silva.

Why would you do that??

I was texting during the whole game with my Juventino best friend and he is an Alex nut, He did literally cry after that goal and I was happy for him.

I don't know why, but I can't hate Alex, and am always happy when he scores a FK.

This was the only game I believed that Juve is gonna drop points. Now they're schedule it aint hard at all.

CESENA - JUVENTUS.
JUVENTUS -ROMA
NOVARA -JUVENTUS
JUVENTUS - LECCE
CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS
JUVENTUS - ATALANTA

They'll be facing two teams already relegated Cesena & Novara. Two teams that have already secure the staying in the SA for another year Cagliari & Atalanta.. They'll have only two hard games, Roma + Lecce which in both they'll be playing home. Roma is awful away. And Lecce will be relegeted by then.
So we'll need a miracle for the scudetto.

Oh I really hope my 2nd team will be the first on to beat this Jube, it would keep them in Serie A and it would make Milan leaders

and btw, Juventus wins from big teams and draw against small teams, so there's still hope :thumbsup:

Just saw the highlights. Man Jube's celebration after the second goal. WTF! Marchiscio and Alex kissing each other, Cunte acting like an orangutan, the rest of the team looking like complete assholes. :fp::fp: God are they pathetic or what :mad::mad::mad:

Hiding behind the PC and talking about people's parents, hmmm... Ibra probably does the same too. Maybe you need Ibra as a bodyguard to say that to a person's face. :lol:

Look at your pictures you posted in this forum. You look like a geek with a receding hairline, but you are someone who posts an avatar picture of Al Pacino (Scarface) to look like a "wanksta" to make up for a lack of testosterone you have. You exhibit an inferiority type complex. I could recommend you to a good psychiatrist. Just say when.

Fact of the matter is that when someone justly desecrates your deity, Ibra, then you start PMSing. Deal with it. Ibra has Bosnian and Croat blood. There is no Swedish blood in him. Only Swedish birth citizenship. Prove otherwise.

If it weren't for Ibra, you would be just another 30-40 something year old living in your parent's igloo basement. Furthermore, you would have been probably homeless.

It makes sense as to why you worship him. Ibra has made you popular on an internet forum, LOL. Yes, an internet forum. WOW, what an achievement to get gold letters!

You cannot imagine a life without Ibra. Parasitic relationship has its limits.

:proud::proud::proud: :thumbsup:


just look marchetti reaction on that fk, absolutely incredible, moggi style.. they waiting udine results and easily sold match.. torino bastards have been closed all matches till the end, this race will be mission impossible for Milan

I have less of an issue with complaining about injuries than about the refs.

We have still underperformed. We had a lead and gave it up, against a bottom feeder. That is on the team

Bitching? Who start the bitching? IIRW that were Cunt(e), Andrea Agnelli, Nedved and all the other Juve cunts! When they lost 8 points advatage to us, all of a sudden it was all refs fault! Remember. We all know what happened after their bitching! And now (for them) and unfortunatelly for you, "Refs make mistakes sometimes, and it goes against all teams." Now you don't see them bitching about refs any more?
Muntari goal was not a mistake! It was decisive deliberate call to help Ladri!
Like Boban said to Cunt(e), there are refs (wrong) decisions that can not be the same. Call to our favours (most of the times) didn' affected the match outcome. PK vs Viola, was a bad call in our favour that didn't helped us much did it? But the refs mistakes against us really fucked our results. (vs Juve, Lazio, Fiorentina first game, Catania....... you name it)

BTW, there is more then one way to help one team win (or draw :lol:), not only few "mistakes". Juve players are getting away with things that other are severily punished, that's a fact. Bitchellini can elbow, faul and bitch to the refs, all he wants without even getting a yellow. Tonight Quagliarella,have slaped Nazio player in a same way Ibra did Aironica and what happened? absofuckenlutelly nothing! while Ibra got a red and 3 matches ban!
Then it is not a coincidence, that the team that is playing Juve, get so many suspended players just before they have to face them!!???????

Yeah, injuries did their toll. But if we were like +7 points Allegri would have more chance to calculate and rotate available players not to risk players not 100% fit and save them from repeating injuries!
So if we don't win the title it would be not our fault, but the result of lot of unfortunate circumstances!

FORZA MILAN, against everyone envy, injuries & injustice !!!!

We've been always cheering for teams against Juve and they always disappoint. So this time I will not cheer for them, maybe we'll get a nice surprise. ;)
you finally learned the most important reverse-jinx lesson. :D

What we can do for the remaining 6 games is to hoping Milan will continue earning 3 points and Juve will finally slip. Of course I want us to bag the 19th scudetto but this Juventus team is still up and running and has proved themselves to be more than just a phony challenger who will only fail at the last hurdle like what Napoli did nowadays.

We expected them to lost some points when they entered the supposedly hard phase by facing Fiorentina, Inter, Napoli, Palermo and Lazio. All tough and hard teams, especially Napoli and Lazio. But lo and behold, Juve streamrolled their way past those teams and managed to score 14 goals and conceded only 1. Before they play those 5 teams, how many of us were thinking "Now, they will surely lose some points here" only to utter a grumpy disappointment while accusing the refs and the opposing team as crap and giving it easy to Juve.

Now they will enter a seemingly easier road with Cesena, Roma, Novarra, Lecce, Cagliari and Atalanta. Cesena, Lecce and Novarra are in the relegation zone while Atalanta seemed to content by staying in the mid table with European competition seemed out of reach while already safe from relegation. Almost the same case with Cagliari. We can only expect them to lose points vs Roma, one of the most inconsistent team this season who can give you Jekyl and Hyde performance week in and week out.

My point is, they are now in a better and more favorable position to win the table. Not because of the 1 point lead but also because they will face easier team. We still need to face Inter and coupled with our injuries and recent inconsistencies, one draw out of the 6 remaining games is enough to giftwrap the Scudetto to Juve.

I agree, that Juve are more likely to win it than Milan, they have the easier schedule I dont know how people concluded that Milan does, especially with the timing of the derby, on day 37, so no time for slip ups.

I was dissapointed by Lazio yesterday, especially their pivot Ledesma, who was awful, I think aside from Milan, no other team tried to pressure Juve high up the pitch and this is why they all got steamrolled... Pirlo was given too much time to create, again, and Juve pressed so high up that any counter attack was bound to fail with that wall of a defense, and oh Buffon! I hope that any other team could notice that this is the way to beat Juve, to sit back is not an option.

I reckon Pirlo wouldnt have the time if Marchisio/Vidal wernt there

They are two monsters who run everywhere and creat huge spaces for Pirlo, then they help him out when they are on defence

If you took them out Pirlo would be rather useless

Much like Pirlo without Rino

Hes just too exposed and his sissy/lack of defensive backbone is showen up

Sure he works himself into space well, really well actually, he is very good at holding the ball under pressure. But without those sorts of players around him.........added bonus is that they can both score.

Juves midfield is easily the best in Serie A

Very true. When Pirlo was in Milan, his role was stated a deep-lying playmaker but he also needed to help out in defense wherein he was quite useless. We had Gattuso plus Ambrosini (esp in 2006/07 and 07/08) as DM but their contribution in attack are purely bonus. With Marchissio and Vidal around, Pirlo was given the role that suited his playing style the most, which is to bring the ball up from deep position, directing the play and provide that killer pass to the attacker. His only problem lies in the fact that Juve don't have a very good striker that Pirlo had in Milan like Sheva, Pippo or Pato to utilize his pass. Another difference is that Milan had Kaka to really run the ball and split open the defense with his speed and dribbling.

So, in terms of midfield controlling and contributing to the attack, Pirlo in Juve with Marchissio and Vidal is better than Pirlo in Milan with Ambrosini and Gattuso. Next season, if Juve gets a really good striker plus a young promising striker, they'll be very hard to stop.

More or less true. Which is why it's just not true when people say that this Juve is all Pirlo. Pirlo is the main player, true. But the runners play significantly important role. Especially when they are technically sound runners like Marchisio and Vidal. Not to mention Pepe's, Lichtsteiner's and lately De Ceglie's contributions. Tremendous seasons by all these guys.

Are they just a top striker away from league domination + European success? I dont think so. They need a top defender as well I'd say. With say, a Hummels and a Mario Gomez type striker, Juve would be back to their early noughties strength in Europe.

We Milan need to get our act back up quickly. Thankfully, Allegri seems to appreciate their potential well.
