    we're at sassuolo this afternoon. we've pounded the weak teams we've played away so far this season so maybe that's a good sign? we need 3 points today. forza milan.

    1-0 good guys at half. romagnoli bundled one in a few minutes after kalinic forced a big save from their keeper. it hasn't been pretty, but we have a lead. here's hoping for a clean sheet and more chances in the second half.

    other than suso's goal, we didn't create much. our defense didn't face too much either though so it's good to keep a clean sheet, especially going into the break. maybe montella will surprise us and get everyone on the same page before the napoli game in 2 weeks.

    Don't know if it's super reliable but this guy has been pretty accurate on stuff around US Soccer and MLS so good chance we are looking at Almiron. Having watched him play a few times he is young, talented, and a good attacking midfielder. He had 9 goals and 8 assists this season. I think that he would be a good addition because he can can also play wide. The only thing that concerns me is that MLS's messed up transfer policy might push his price up high enough to where it's not worth it. Plus we always have the specter of FFP hanging around.

    That little guy that Ventura didn't want to use is getting chance after chance. Donnarumma great save on that last one before the end of the half

    Judging by how busy this thread is, I'm guessing a lot of AC Milan fans chose to attend birthday parties over watching the match.

    Mine was last week, so nope, and who would invite Rossonero or Sheva to their birthdays anyway? :D I do have one for my daughter later, was maybe hoping it was earlier when I saw Montolivo in the lineup though.

    I enjoy talking smack on ACM but in all seriousness, this 2-0 scoreline really flatters you.

    You must think we're awesome now, after that Romagnoli strike.

    All the birthday party attendees are going to see the score and think you guys are pretty good.

    You guys have some good pieces just need to build around them. Donnarumma will be the best goalie in the world, I like Locatelli, Romagnoli, and Andre Silva. Suso is very good and my favourite on your team.

    They'll be sent down to the lower leagues pretty soon.

    Sloppy lineup and play. Montella is only good for using these guys, but at the end of the day he doesn't know how to use them, or build a lineup that suits them in any way, or an idea of what his A and B teams are. You know, the basics a coach should have down.

    Nicky talking big because Fiorentina have Spal tomorrow and he's confident they'll catch us which makes us both laughing stocks. :)

    I don't care about November. You guys won't end up anywhere near us.

    And I was talking about the financial stuff. I'm just not sure you guys have accumulated enough sporting merit to get back up as quickly as we did.

    Yeah I know. I remember you saying the same last year :p

    Not that it mattered then or now, we both suck :)

    It's like being a a wingman with a fat chick for your buddy with another fat chick. Cui bono?

    Well that's a whole new can of worms. Where do I begin, lol.

    I said we'd finish ahead of you. When you were about 15 points up on us. You beat us by 4-ish...
