tremendous half of the season trophy is won because of a couple of penalties...

siena 2-1 pazzini penalty
udinese 2-1 balotelli penalty
cagliari 1-1 balotelli penalty
siena 1-2 balotelli penalty

and more... and believe me... these weren't your typical 100% penalties...

Milan don't need to do anything to influence refs, it's all there in the establishment, they have more penalties than everyone whether you look at 1, 5 or 20 year periods.
Yeah I've noticed and almost broken stuff over here, when they got their pens :D

It's annoying...

Well I'll shut up now. I've done over a page of how I feel about next season. One last summary (my prediction): Juve top favourites, but Milan not as far behind as some people might think. And if some of our signings were to flop or we got a bad spell going, the tables may turn.

The one away to Cagliari was a clear penalty.

I think the ones at home to Udinese and away to Siena clearly weren't penalties.

Can't remember the other one.

I know, they did receive some dodgy ones indeed. I just refuse to believe that they actually PAID refs after Calciopoli, when they were in fact convicted prior to appeal. It annoyed the fuck out of me, those pens, but I believe it was mostly a case of poor refereeing. If not, they are absolutely insane, influencing refs when the entire footballing body and authorities in the country are doing their best to rid the sport of corruption. I just can't see that being the case.

maybe they don't pay but if they don't f*ck up Juve or help them then their out of a job.

Limited player, but I like his enthusiastic character and resourceful attitude, so I would keep Giacch, unless Conte has different plans and urgently needs to make room (for a LWB or LW in general), I dont see why we need to sell a backup/utility player who is allways eager to come on and be of use. Quality wise we wouldnt miss him really, but he is a good luxury to have in depth, and kind of player that is ideal for big squads. The profit we would make on him would be minor too. I would miss the little fella, even his frustrating lack of end product.

Since when we haven't won four in a row?

:snoop:
Yes, yes, it was even 5 back then, but like I said, that's the last time we won three in a row. We won 5 in a row in the 30s, but we have to go back to 1935 for more than 2 in a row. Get it now?

I agree that we're very well set up for that to happen, though, and I'd go absolutely insane if we were to pull that off!!
