IMO, last week Milan was thoroughly beaten by Livorno. This week, I do think they had some bad breaks and otherwise played like they should have at least earned a draw. Still, that's nothing to brag about. (Though it took a nice spot and a superb Neddy free kick to get us out of Bologna with some dignity not too long ago ourselves.)
I can't stand Milan as much as the next juventino, but I also have a healthy respect for them. It's sad to see a player of Sheva's caliber go down ... just as it was for Trez earlier this season. And while they may be wounded at the moment, that was us just a few weeks ago looking out from the form toilet (and I would argue that we've hardly proven ourselves fully fit these days either). I take some comfort in our 8 point lead, but not much. But this weekend was definitely great to us.
Milan continues to struggle to find offensive inspiration beyond Sheva. Crespo has been spotty. Kaka is in the typical sophomore slump of superstardom. Pirlo has largely been a disappointment this season. And Milan can't seem to crack defenses at will with the likes of Cafu, Seedorf, etc. as they had last season.
Milan will find a way to score without Sheva... but they're going to struggle for a little while. Their bench just hasn't stepped up the way that our has.

Seems, on the form we are on now, perhaps we can make the CL, I didnt think we could, if that happens, money from the CL qualification, will mean we wont have to sell. I told you Roma will be very competitive next season, I predict and Roma - Milan like last season being the 2 teams again, as it seems those fools are Milan are throwing it away, normally the team who win never retain it anymore, so that rules out Juve, and then there is Inter...like I said only 2 teams to worry about!
Nicole, Juve won back to back scudetti just two short years ago.. if you don't believe me, here's a reminder
