    Pato is awesome, two goals and one by Cassano. Inter needs to understand that Milan is the best team period. I'm happy for Allegri, good coach.

    Well said.
    Milan dominated from start to finish, it was a great performance. Now we can't afford to drop silly points.

    PS: Nice to see you around brother! :up:

    How different things could have turned out if you had of beaten Birmingham. Never recovered from that game.

    Also need a few defenders in the transfer window.

    do do do badump badump bump bump...do do do badump badump bump bump...do do do badump badump bump bump... LUIS SUAREZ!... What a difference he and King Kenny have made?

    LFC just might be the hottest team in the world right now? Too bad its too late to get back into the UEFACL. Their last match against Bolton was amazing... their last few matches have been amazing. The passing has just been spot on and the pursuit of loose balls epic. Their whole offensive style has changed for the better. Been really fun to watch.

    Alright Bab.

    Thought you might have been on a depression spiral over Arsenal's poor finish to the season as to why I haven't seen you round these parts lately :lol:. Have to agree on the main forums on these sites, not a huge fan of them either.

    Your thoughts on where the Gunners are headed at the moment?

    Liverpool are certainly the form term in England since January, in the world? You could certainly debate it. If they can carry this form into next season, with a couple of additions to the squad and back-line, they are definitely dark horses for the title.

    Will the money be available though, without generating it from an outgoing transfer................

    whats even more amazing is that they are doing it without Gerrard. Maxi and Mereiles have been lights out. If I were looking to move people I'd move:

    Johnson
    Cole
    Jovanovic
    Ngog
    Poulsen

    That should clear about 10m pounds... :lol: I think they need to add the same two positions they needed coming into the season but failed to sufficiently address... LB and LW.

    I think some width is definitely needed, especially if you want to get the best out of Andy Carroll. At Newcastle, Carroll prospered having Joey Barton on the right side. Even though Joey is'nt exactly a winger, his ability to whip in a good ball was what Carroll fed off. Get him service like that and you will get the best out of Andy Carroll.

    Next season you guys will have some attacking options if you are able to get a natural winger in the team. With Daglish getting the best out of Kuyt, Meireles and Maxi, Gerrard still to return and with the best still to come from Suarez and Carroll, Liverpool will seriously have so many ways to best teams and can play a variety of formations.

    As I said, with a little bit more cash,you could really challenge next season.

    Has gotten way out of hand at this stage. I mean when your receiving nail bombs in the post and getting attacked on the sideline you got to start asking is it worth it. It seems to be purly sectarian motivated (which I dont want to get into) and it is really making Scottish football look terrible (if the football itself was not bad enough already).

    Will only be resolved with Lennon leaving IMO.

    Really missed Meireles today.. losing Gerrard is one thing, apparently losing both Gerrard and Meireles is completely something else. Give credit to Tottenham though, especially Dawson and King who I felt were outstanding. Of course, a lucky bounce off Johnson and a debatable penalty gave them their goals.... but it is what it is.

    lol almost mate! After the high of the first leg of the Barcelona game it's all been downhill since! I'm gradually finding myself unable to defend Wenger anymore - I honesetly think he's lost the plot and should go. Or if he insists on staying (as he won't get fired!) is to get rid of Pat Rice and bring in someone with a few newer ideas!

    We're still about 4 or 5 players short and to be honest wouldn't be sad to see the back of Cesc Fabregas. £35-£40M for someone who can only manage 20-30 games a year seems like a steal - I think we've already got a ready made replacement in Samir Nasri who always seems to play well when Cesc isn't there. If I never see Squilachi in an Arsenal shirt again it'll be too soon! I do rate Szchney (sp?) though, he's just been let down by the guys in front of him. Wilshire and RVP have been outstanding this season.

    At least you guys are safe for another year though. Shame Cashley still in charge though!

    You guys have been pretty awesome since King Kenny took over..think it's purely down to motivation though - RH has done well at WBA since he took over...probably couldn't deal with the more high profile type of player. Glad to see some English guys coming through for you too. Looks like LFC & AFC will be providing the core to the International team in the not to distant future.

    Who's in the fantasy footy league? Quite close at the top going into the last week.

    I actually agree on Fabregas, selling him could generate money that could go into the squad and bolster positions of need. Add some steel to the midfield or a couple of decent CB/WB's. I think you guys also need another striker as Bendtner is just not good enough and Chamakh has done noting since Van Persie came back from injury.

    The sooner Ashley goes, the better for Newcastle. I actually think he will be gone soon though. He will sell our biggest assets (Enrique, Tiote and probably Ben Arfa when he gets fit) and then sell up. All the money we received on the Carroll transfer will not be re-invested. Can count ourselves lucky if we get 10m from it. Its a shame because I think with all the injuries we suffered this year, the sacking of Hughton and the selling of Carroll, we preformed extremely well. We have the basis of a good squad there and with a few more additions we could make a go at a top 8 finish. But sadly, it will not happen with Ashley still about.

    I still think it's shocking that he fired Houghton..Pardew isn't any better! £10m isn't much these days though I reckon they'll go for Danny Graham from my local side Watford. He's from up north and 'orns are a selling side and need the money!

    Was just doing some youtubing and I came across these videos. It is a show with commentators from AC Milan and Inter Milan on the same set. It's Italy's derby and the rivalry is intense, no doubt, but this is a weekly show in Italy with rotating cast members representing certain teams. This show just so happens to be special. :)

    In the beginning the Inter guys are being cocky and arrogant and at 1:15 the AC Milan guy goes off. "We've won 7 champions league, 18 Italian championships...well then....laugh! Laugh!!"

    Well, this show is from AC Milan's 3-0 whooping. Even if you don't understand Italian, we are fun to watch with our hand gestures and everything.

    EDIT: At 2:45 in this video traversa means crossbar - Van Bommel hit the crossbar.

    [video=youtube;1qkQ-Cf1eh4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qkQ-Cf1eh4[/video]

    Now, this is from the same show when Inter Milan gets whooped by Shalke. You can see the AC Milan guys smiling and loving every minute of it. EDIT: At 1:35 in this vid fuorigioco means off side. Inter scored but it was called back. Watching this was so fun for me.

    [video=youtube;vSlXmmy33mc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlXmmy33mc&feature=related[/video]

    I wouldn't even want Inter to win the Champions League if they were the last Italian team in it. I hate them so much. When we lost to Liverpool they wore shirts saying "Thank you Liverpool".

    F Them.

    Forza Milan!!

    AC Milan fans hate Juve and Inter equally but personally, I have nothing against Juventus, both Juve and Milan have accomplished a lot more in the past, but I'm 100% Anti Inter, everything about that club makes me sick, I wish Inter no success at all and actually is the only team I hate more than the Jets.

    Their pathetic fans, douchebags... they have no respect, arrogants as hell and historically supporters of a mediocre team.

    Also hate this SOB
