[rlrao1987]

i surely hope that ac milan is not relegated. I just love milan. they are 1 of the best of the best in europe.

This is incredibly well written. It describes exactly the feelings of a true club fan. One should stand by his club in good but especialy in bad times. You can compare it to life itself, when you're successful and handsome, you have many many friends. But when you're broke and average looking you can count your friends on one hand, but be sure that those friends are faithfull and those you can trust.

Cheers man, that is the perfect analogy. And I am broke and average looking so I know all about it


I really really really am pulling for you guys on wedensday. I know match fixing is dead wrong and should be punished. But to me, Milan is the class of European football. Yeah, youre a dozen scudetti short, but six champions league trophies and a litany of great and beloved players speak for themselves. Nordhal, VanBasten, Rijkaard, Baresi, Maldini, and I wish Shevchenko couldve joined their company. To me, the purity and joy of football is expressed in watching Pirlo run to the corner flag after a goal and be greeted by flares, flags and fans running to the fence in the North Curve. When I see a night game in the San Siro, it feels like a million people are there. Its really just magical/ Your support and players are tremendous, and eventhough your owner is a realy scallywag, you guys will be back on top far sooner than you think thanks to those things that really matter

And yeah, I know Madrid have more everything, but only Madridistas like Madrid. I have as much respect and love for Milan as any neutral can

Edit:

i surely hope that ac milan is not relegated. I just love milan. they are 1 of the best of the best in europe.

yeah, what he said

almost all the interviews I've read regarding Sheva, he mentions how he still loves Milan.. why Sheva, why did you leave...................

 

[rlrao1987]

well sheva left for purely family reasons. he wants his son to learn english and go to an english school.

 

[jani]

thats a stupid reason. thats unacceptable. I dont believe one bit of that. you dont have to be in London to learn English..

 

[rlrao1987]

well tahts what he said to the media in a interview!!

 

[Best's_cadaver]

thats a stupid reason. thats unacceptable. I dont believe one bit of that. you dont have to be in London to learn English..

True Italians have been living there since forever and they still don't speak English.

Sheva is from Ucraine though, bit different.

 

[Stephan_BEL]

almost all the interviews I've read regarding Sheva, he mentions how he still loves Milan.. why Sheva, why did you leave...................

The thing that angers the tifosi on him is that he said two months prior of leaving for England that he would love to become a Milan legend like Maldini, Nordahl, ect...

Now I believe he wanted to stay at the time he stated that. But he isn't single anymore you know, Kristen Pazik, his wife is a well known model and she is best friends with the Russian Chelsea's owner wife, in addition she's american, so english speaking.

She also wants her kids (one is still on the way it seems) to be educated in english schools, ect ect.

Believe me, I'm married myself, and a wife can put a terrible pressure on you 24/7 if she feels like it. Only thing I blame her for is that she could have waited 4 more years so Sheva could achieve legendary status in Milan that's all, and I blame him for not standing up enough against her if what he really wanted was stay with us.

But atm I'm not thinking about Sheva anymore but eating my nails awaiting the verdict of tomorrow (will be broadcast live on RAI Uno television for the people who can watch it, I have no idea of the time though)

Well then there was a reason that he wanted to leave and he left, time to move on my friend

 

[TheBlueBalla]

Milan's contract was gonna pay him maybe a few thousand dollars a week less. He moved for a variety of reasons, but as Stephan says, your wife is your wife. Putting yourself through the stress of a marital discord over your family's happiness is something you have to live with for the rest of your life. How a club's supporters view you isnt, sadly. Its too bad alot of your buddies over at Milan Mania dont understand that


I too believe he did mean it when he said he wanted to be a club legend. If he never made those comments, then this was an extremely amicable split

 

[Lean]

well tahts what he said to the media in a interview!!

Doesnt mean it's the truth. Looking at the whole thing with a grain of salt, i just think he left because of the corruptions issues, and because sometimes you just want a new challenge.

Dont you ever get fed up of managing a team at CM/FM? After 4-5 seasons winning everything, you might want to play your football elsewhere. Yes, i'm still pissed he left and i dont believe the english thing one bit, but well, we got a fair amount of cash for a 30 year old that used to be a lot better anyway.

 

[MaestroZidane]

As a person who just became a fan of soccer, i was shocked that sheva left milan for chelsea. Though i understand family comes first, i too feel that the investigation and probable relegation played a major role.

Either way i wish him the best and hope he shines at Stanford Bridge

 

[rony31]

guys, it's a lot easier to learn English in an English-speaking country than it is in Italy. think about it, if he sent his son to an English school in Italy, as soon as he got out he'd be surrounded by people who spoke Italian. and what about Sheva himself? how ****ed would it be if he sent his son to school in Italy to learn English, but Sheva doesn't have time for that and therefore can't even communicate with his son in English?

be reasonable, it WAS for his family and it was for the whole English thing.

BTW, tomorrow's the verdict, aye? I had a dream that Juve and Reggina () were sent to Serie C2/B, Fiorentina to B, and Milan stayed in A with a 20 point deduction... I wouldn't mind that

 

[Stephan_BEL]

You forgot Lazio in your dream

 

[rony31]

aye, for some reason they were replaced by Reggina (hence the )

 

[jani]

when the hell are the verdicts coming out?

first it was Monday, then Tuesday.. Then Wednesday.. Now its on Saturday?

Is this good or bad..

 

[Stephan_BEL]

Latest news about verdicts on RAI teletext is giovedi, this is thursday in italian.

In the meantime, UEFA calls upon the tribunal to make haste as they want the full list of Italian UEFA and CL clubs before July 25th or no italian clubs will be allowed at all! (I sense the Inter and Roma guys are starting to sweat now, join the club)

This deadline will be hard to meet if they drag on a few more days. So in the best case : thursday the first verdict, clubs and individuals (referees, club staff) have only 3 days time to file appeals, the appeal court should give their final verdict at least two days before July 25th to make it in time...

Referee Massimo De Santis which risks 5 years of suspension or even radiation has already warned the FIGC he will take it to civilian courts if he finds the verdict not to be fair, so I guess this thing will drag on for a long time still.
