The Odyssey is phenomenal until the last 30 minutes or so.

Man the first 2 hours I was just in awe of everything.

Agamemnon aura farming throughout the entire movie how can you not be romantic about Greek mythology?
Its a great movie.
I nagged about the cast before watching it but then i did & the only cast i mind was that of Helen.
Agam was great.
That scene when the door open :lol:

Welcome back @General

Let's hope this can turn the heat up on the mercato and RnB.

I don’t think it’s far fetched to say that pages per day of RnB is a decent lead indicator of overall fan enthusiasm, and by extension, predicted season ticket sales
We've been this road for the past 3 mercati under Gerry, so far no causation

The apathy is due to missing CL the last two seasons and the absence of action on the transfer market. Fans can be patient up to a point but the disappointing tenure of RedBird can break your spirit.

I still watch every match out of habit but not with the enthusiasm of the last scudetto season and certainly not of our glory days. I understand why many jump ship and I thought of doing it as well, but I've been loyal all my life, even when in Serie B, so it wont happen.

This season could be a re-birth or a deeper descent into the abyss so these next two weeks will be crucial in trying to make Milan great again.

Lorenzo Torriani is widely regarded as a highly talented and promising young goalkeeper. Playing for AC Milan in Italy's Serie A, the 21-year-old has caught the attention of top European clubs due to his modern skillset, calm demeanor, and exceptional physical traits

Verdict:
While he is not yet an established world-class starter, Torriani has all the raw tools, maturity, and shot-stopping instincts to become a premier European goalkeeper
There’s some dude called Pittarella in the youth team who’s meant to be the real deal

At least Papa Furlani brought us a high volume of entries and exits

The Gardiner mercato has been incredibly dull after the intimate flourish

Odysseus was matt Damon from Martian so mellow. Last half was ghay and women were not Silvio level too old :o. Still thankful to see an adaption.

Odysseus I have read unpteen times is ruthless, full of charm, bullshit and third or fourth in line in whole Greeks after achiles, Ajax, agemmanon and diomedes.

He is basically combination of the slimeness of Matt Damon from departed, Jason Bourne and intelligence of good will hunting.

He wanted to be left alone at home but somebody had the itch to abduct one woman whole kingdom except him were horny for so the man burnt down Troy, every Greeks future and ocean itself.

good adaption I am waiting for a remorseless adaptation. Eddward luttwack said white people are like Arabs unlike Asians their holy book is not first testament philosophy but illaid a battery of violence.

Everytime I see a Greek I am so thankful for odyssey I have same gratitude for our lord Silvio. It’s absolutely pure.
This is a beautiful post, thank you for sharing.

A great line in the film is said by Menelaus (paraphrasing), “More than I miss Ajax and Achilles I miss Odysseus.”

I wish Achilles had been in it, his appearance in The Odyssey is so brilliant, but Nolan’s adaptation focused more on the deception (trick) than it did the glory of war, so I guess it made sense to replace Achilles’ anti-war message with Sinon but gods I would have loved to see him damnit.

A Nolan Iliad adaptation would be sensational. I need it real bad.

I have half a mind to start the Iliad tonight.

“Boys, when the gates open I’m going to need you all to step aside so I can farm”

Nothing honestly bothered me about the casting while watching, the lady boy and Helen were actually fine. Yeah, I think there are more beautiful actresses but she did a good job in the role.

Maignan out - Carnesecchi in. Equal goalkeeping skills but younger, Italian and lower wages.

By the way, I'm the only GREEK in this forum?

Every body loves Achilles he is the pure force of nature , born to die in Troy but my favorite part is how Athena had two warriors obviously Odysseus and then diomedes who did everything in the background with Agamemnon and Nestor. Real Gs.

These mfers were all round mfers and lasted the entire battle. Amount of bullshit they pulled is crazy.

Odysseus is remorseless once he had to leave his home he became fuck over everybody machine, killed half of his own warriors, Ajax, palamedes anybody who crossed him goes to haedes every single man he commanded died :lol: what a glorious terrorist. This mfers basically did every except slit Agamemnon’s daughter for favorable winds.


Diomedes is more ethical Odysseus( if you can use that word).

He and Odysseus were the only Achaean heroes who participated in covert military operations that demanded discipline, bravery, courage, cunning, and resourcefulness.

Let me put it in Milan terms these are nestas and rijkaards elite at everything.

Any of you peasants who can’t read Greek :o
We got crayons baby.



Moral of all Greek stories are you are fucked so just endure it and enjoy it. Hope Athena or Hera shows some kindness because those two are like Silvio and Adriano for their fans

Because they let the coach play youngsters
Everyone here and the journalists need to stfu when camarda not scoring, cisse pick wrong pass or comotto makes mistake
This season is doomed from the start anyway, so amorim should give the kids as much playing time as possible
This

I have been thinking the same, glad to see someone put it in words. My expectations for this season are real low. So let's use the time to help some youngsters mature. It will help us in the future. Loaning players does not bring any guarantees, and Futuro is of limited use until they make it back to C.

Of course this means being patient, and most fans do not have that virtue. Especially at the San Siro.

Ferran Torres to PSG for 50m, double the stats of Ramos in a more competitive league, with the 50m includes the WC tax.

Gerald got fleeced hard on this one.

We keep saying this the second a new name surfaces.
Torriani is good enough for us to see if he can excel or not.

Last season was perfect to throw him in the deep end but we doubled down on Mike going the Allegri route.

I actually prefer the Aeneid by Virgil, superb spinn off/reboot and better than the 2 older works imo.

Regarding Nolan´s Odyssey my biggest problem with it is that it never really got a road movie atmosphere going, which is imo crucial to adapt it to screen. I think it would have been stronger if the goings on on Itaca before the return and at troy would have been told off screen and more time would have beens spent to on the actual voyage.

Why do people keep making dumb posts like this? Have you thought about the signing bonus? The agent commission? The salary? There's more to a transfer than the fee paid to the club.

Fuck outta here with that weak Greek shite rulers lmao.

Even fodder Alexander got his ass kicked in south east Asia.

I can name 10 to 15 more powerful kings from Europe alone.


Not even going to delve into great Asian rulers or Arab etc

  • Transfer fee: €50 million guaranteed
  • Add-ons/bonuses: up to €5 million
  • Maximum transfer package: €55 million
Salary around 12 mil gross


Next?

This was very doable. For a smart club.

Bitch club owned phaggot owner like bitchindale would not think intelligently for such deals


We probably spent more on goncalo ramos

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
To be honest the upcoming season it's already up
Hopefully not🤞 , but the level of optimism or excitement in the forum is not what it could be.
It is a reflection of the lack of confidence with the current club ownership.

So? U want to win. Pay up. Get the right fit.

Even accounting for extra in wages, he is still Cheaper in the long run.

Last year for first year. 74 mil for fucking super sub like Ramos is a shite deal.

Ferran Torres 10m salary gross.
Ramos 9.6m in Milan.
Double the output, plays in a tougher league. 30% less transfer fee.

Only thing going against the comparison is that Ferran is on the last year of contract like pigeon said.

Edit: Ramos had 2 remaining years on his PSG contract, hardly as if he just signed and had a momentum so we needed to pay a premium.
