The Other Teams Thread [R]

I really like how the Milan board has a thread dedicated to other teams, and figured maybe we could have one here so we can discuss other results in Serie A and the other leagues.

I just read that Palermo has brought back Francesco Guidolin as coach after they got trashed last evening. This is of course hysterical considering how many times they've fired him in the past at least two or three times.

Did anyone see the game by the way? Amauri is rooting over there, other than the 20 million Palermo want, he should personally pay us to rescue him from rooting over there. Palermo never really showed up for the game, and it's a shame, especially reading all the stupid pro-Juve headlines this morning.

Anyone know why Bresciano is playing so little at Palermo? He came on last night and gave a bit of hope to a doomed team. I remember Palermo playing much better once he came on against us.

Considering the state of Palermo's midfield, I don't Maradona himself could do anything. From what I saw last night it's not his fault, Palermo couldn't get the ball anywhere near him.

Not so much a reflection on him as it is his team. The guy has a lot to offer in my opinion. If you put him in a healthy Roma he would be terrorizing people.

I'm a little worried that we have to play them next weekend. I haven't seen them play much this year, but they seem to be in good form.

Next weekend will be interesting to say the least:

Fiorentina (5th) - Inter (1st)
Roma (2nd) - Udinese (4th)
AC Milan (Do us a favor) - Rubentus (3rd)

Did you notice the spat with Del Piero and Paladino ... disgusting how the media spun that into a positive. Can you imagine if Totti did something like that to Aquilani? He would be insulted by every newspaper.

Oddio la Rube! Gobbi di merda!

I think Paladino shouted at another player for not passing him back the ball when he was open. Del Piero decided to have his say.

I guess grandpa is a bit grumpy now that Juve is back in Serie A and he's back on the bench watching the game. Maybe life was easier in Serie B.

He's got a lot more bench warming to look forward to.

I think he's had a bit of a chip on his shoulder since Ibrahimovic came to Juventus and Capello benched him. Then came the World Cup and he was on the bench giving interviews comparing himself with Achilles . Now we qualify for the Euro, were he was completely lousy in every game, and he gives interviews saying he's earned his spot on the squad.

The guy needs to get over himself

What can you say, shit happens.

I'm happy with what I see in Vucinic for the moment. In him there is a world class player, now it's just for Spalletti and the team to bring him out. He has the movement, speed, technique, intelligence, and grit in him.

Once the season is over we'll see what to do. Suazo is out of the pitcure for now, and I don't see Inter unloading him. They bought him to keep him away from the competition.

Anyone watch any of the other CL games this week. I watched Rosenborg - Chelsea on Wednesday and I have to say that I would not want to meet this Chelsea. I've been trying to downplay it by telling my self that they played a weak Norwegian team. A team who's success so far in the group stage is only based on the fact that they came into the CL near the end of their season against teams just starting and kind of surprised them. But it's not helping much.

Cassano made his return to the pitch today for Sampdoria, and played surprisingly well. He gave defenders a ton of trouble and set up some of the goals. Along with his form, he regained his famous temper. TV cameras caught him cursing out the ref after he was booked for a foul. He also got into an argument with Regina's coach on the side of the pitch.

Anyone watching Milan - Merdentus?

Yes!!!! The "scudetto contenders" failed to beat AC Milan tonight. That leaves Rubentus 1 point ahead of us, having played two more games than us. If we can defeat Udinese tomorrow we will claim second place. Then later this week we have the match against Cagliari that was postponed.

So if we don't drop the ball we can go 5 points over them.

LOL at all the articles claiming Del Piero as a super sub after one game against a Palermo that never even showed up on the pitch.

Rube merda sempre!

Damn Inter is winning ... let's hope Fiorentina do some serious hustling.

Pippo Inzaghi went into the history books last night as the new top scorer in UEFA competitions. Love him or hate, you can't deny what an achievement that is. The only downside you can make is that when Gerd Muller set the record there were far fewer competitions. None the less ... respect to Super Pippo.

I'm really hoping Lazio can pull a miracle tonight and tie Inter. I'm not getting greedy and asking for a victory, but just a tie. Inter really is missing a lot of players right now. Dacourt is injured (LOL), along with Stankovich and Figo. If only some of their strikers would break down or catch a cold.
