t1t3h Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That was a great 1st half, the amount of space De Rossi is getting is unreal. Even though Roma are 3-0 up, I still think Milan can get back into it, Roma don't do defending this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Biancocelesti win again away to Sampdoria. Two home games coming up and just one point off of second place. Eight league games without defeat and unbeaten in 11 in all competitions.Pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1t3h Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That was a nervous last 5 minutes. Roma win 4-2, Goicoechea saved Roma numerous times and he should have been sent off instead of getting a yellow card for the Milan penalty. The only time Roma have kept a clean sheet in the league this season is the 3-0 win against Cagliari and that was only awarded to them because Cagliari's stadium was too dangerous to play in.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Milan players walk off the pitch after Boateng and Emanuelson were racially abused by some Pro Patria fans in a friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Quite right too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Quite right too. Agreed, no player should have to put up with that, and especially so in a meaningless friendly. Good on the Pro Patria fans who were clapping the Milan players' decision too, and to Serie A who have backed their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have UEFA not given the power to referees to stop games if there is racial abuse and the Italians have extended that power to players, in a bid to stamp it out? I hope, if Milan are unfortunate enough to suffer it again, they walk off when it means something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperDee Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pato has left Milan to sign for Corinthians. If true, he has wasted all of the talent he has. He really could have been special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If true, he has wasted all of the talent he has. He really could have been special. Corinthians are probably a better team than Milan at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If true, he has wasted all of the talent he has. He really could have been special. He's also had a load of injuries over the last two years which haven't helped. Doesn't sound like he has received appropriate treatment at Milanello.

Doesn't sound like he has received appropriate treatment at Milanello. Yep. His injury woes only really began when he moved there. He wasn't injury-prone before he arrived, not by any means. Either way, at the age of 20/21 he was one of Milan's top players when they regained the Scudetto, not bad for someone who's apparently thrown away his career by moving to one of South America's biggest clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, at the age of 20/21 he was one of Milan's top players when they regained the Scudetto, not bad for someone who's apparently thrown away his career by moving to one of South America's biggest clubs That was 2 years ago. He has moved to a worse league, and has taken a step down in his career hence he is wasting his talent. Like I said he could have been at Europe's very top, but like has been said, injuries have prevented this. But why he would move to the Brazilian league I do not know.

I don't know if that's sarcasm or not I remember James Horncastle and David Swan tweeting about the injury problems he was experiencing over the last couple of years and how he was often rushed back without proper treatment / recovery time which only seemed to exacerbate the problems he was having.

jagfox Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Not been taking much interest in Serie A recently, but checked the table and it was pleasing to see La Viola up in the CL places. Don't think anyone will catch the old lady this season though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brazilian top tier of football is not on the same level as Serie A, yet. Brazilian football is increasing in quality, while Serie A is having a decline, but they are not equal in terms of quality. I do actually, the last game I watched was yesterday, Gremio vs Internacional, it was a turgid 0-0 draw iirc. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
