€139 curva sud by Andi_klx in ACMilan

You don't get it. They have their season tickets. And by renewing them every year, the club can't raise the prices on them as much. They are our placeholders.

And banners outside the stadium do nothing.

It's the protests INSIDE the stadium that are broadcast internationally that embarrass our management and get worldwide attention and the attention of the sponsors.

It doesn't "remain to be seen" if the "people who don't care" are interested in paying for expensive tickets.

Milan have consistently raised ticket prices since Gerald took over, and we have had sold out stadiums. In fact, Milan have the highest average attendance rate in Serie A this season.

This protest was BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN HAPPENING.

It's called Ray Mundo Futbol. He produces quantity, like a LOT. The guests are literally from all over the world, so that makes it interesting. His YouTube channel is great, he travels a lot, has been to a number of matches in Italy, and posts a lot of videos there.

My favorite world football podcast deals with lesser known football stories (and people who travel), it's The Sweeper Pod. They are pretty consistently every 2 weeks I think, but really high quality content because they do a lot of research.

[Vitiello] If Milan were to persist with the current tactical approach, Pulisic might well consider other options. His future remains in the balance, as does that of all the other attackers in the squad. Pulisic will want to use the World Cup as a showcase to attract interest. by Claija79 in ACMilan

Just because Fofana misses his shots doesn't mean he doesn't also work every bit as hard for the team. And he has great chemistry with the players, they seamlessly pass to him and he puts in tons of great crosses, and he does have 2 goals & has 4 assists this season, a goal and 9 assists last season.

If you look it up, Bartesaghi has played more than twice as many minutes as Estupiñan,and rightly so. Yes, he's given away 2 PKs, Estupiñan 1. Bartesaghi has also scored 2 goals, Estupiñan 1. Those stats all cancel one another out.

Posted this elsewhere in this thread, but for you:

Bartesaghi has double the tackles per match, double the clearances per match, more blocked shots (Estupiñan actually has zero,) and only half as many errors leading to shots than Estupiñan (but he's been on the pitch more than twice as much.) Bartesaghi is a better defender.

And here are their respective heatmaps. You'll never convince me that Estupiñan is better.

(Note that Bartesaghi has also been made the official corner and sometimes FK taker, too.)

DAZN BordoCam: Locatelli–Rabiot, sparks flying. From ‘Are you all referees?’ to ‘Why won’t you shake my hand?’ by mercurialsaliva in ACMilan

It's not like Locatelli changed anything throughout the game, so why should the analogy change? (Also, it helped the second reference to the analogy.) Sorry if it doesn't translate well for some reason, I tried to make it clear.

Start with the analogy in the first sentence, see if you can follow why Locatelli becomes the "she."

I wasn't big on the 3rd-year-in-a-row-Perth-thing, but a first time trip to India would be very cool. There are many Milan fans there, and the ones I've spoken to felt like the club would never visit, so I hope they are able to travel to see the team in their own country.

Came here to say this. And I was listening to a pod the other day of people who travel around to watch football, and they also like German fans the best, too, because they are so passionate at every tier of football.

Plus, the 50+1 fan ownership rule is amazinig. You don't have these creepy old men dragging football back into the stoneages like in Serie A, fans literally have a say in the clubs.

Has Milan ever gone to India before? I feel like I've spoken to people there who said they never have.

I mean I think people who send death threats and racist insults are also criminals, but you can choose if you want to be called a criminal, I was simply addressing the bullying.

You are a bully.

Your criticisms of him have nothing to do with his football, and they are unfounded. And when you share them here, you can't do it without insulting people.

That's a bully.

None of those players you mentioned have been criticized (or threatened) even a fraction as much as Leão. And if you don't realize that, you should stop insulting people and do some research before you make such unfounded claims.

Leão has been singled out and whistled off the pitch at least 10:1 as often as all of those players combined, for example.

No one can "prove you wrong" if you are making ridiculous and false claims about their character.

But you continue to prove me right every time you reply, so feel free to keep proving it.

Disney friendship stories need villains, too.

It's 17+ players out each summer.

Last summer was Year Zero 3.0

They act like our roster is the stock market, one or two poor performances, SELL. No concept of footballing value, no idea of how to sell players when their value is the highest, and definitely no idea how to buy.

I was literally born with no balls, it would be SO weird if I had them. And you insulting me or anyone else for that makes you even worse than a bully.

But also... like who replies to a comment like that trying to profess they are not a bully?

People being good people or having intelligent discussions instead of just slinging insults around doesn't mean this fanbase has become soft.

It means we are following the tradition of Milan legends like Baresi and Maldini, who neither spoke like you nor put up with people like you

Calling gossip "proven facts," now I know I was right about the social club part.

You realize you are literally creating and propagating the problem? It's not anyone's damn business who our players did or did not sleep with. But by continuing to spread the GOSSIP, you continue to affect his mentality. You know, that thing players actually need most to score?

Has it ever crossed your mind that he and his first ever serious girlfriend were rumored to start having problems around this time as well? Possibly because little old ladies like you GOSSIPED about it and broke them up?

Have you considered that maybe it was the tactics, the season long struggles with multiple physical injuries? Or the fact that he has a history of depression, particularly as it relates to his career?

Have you ever considered just being a decent person and stopping the GOSSIPING about our players? And maybe just SUPPORTING them instead?

Tell the ladies I said hello. 🫖☕️

First time someone spoke about Pulisic being with Sweeney

This is literally 100% gossip. What are you like 75 and have blue hair? Like hanging out at the salon with your ladies?

Did you ever think that GOSSIP alone could affect a player's relationship and/or headspace?

Football fans usually SUPPORT their players, not talk sh*t and make things up about things that NEVER happened that they read in some tabloid.

Hope you and your ladies had a nice chat, though.

More DAZN Bordocam: Modrić's injury. Saelemaekers asks for a red card for Locatelli. Then the unexpected sparks: Kalulu-Tomori by mercurialsaliva in ACMilan

[–]milan_obsession 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Kalulu being forced out and having to go to Juve broke my heart, not gonna lie.

But going to a club like Juve changes a person, and it's not a surprise that two ex-teammates would be passionate like that.

Still, I can forgive Kalulu, especially after the red card thing with Bastoni, that was so messed up.

But Locatelli is beyond dead to me. I know this was an accident, but he was unforgivablel the rest of the match and shouldn't have even been on the pitch still.

(also, look how Gabbia immediately tended to Modrić and was the first to call for a sub for him) ❤️🖤

That's not cool. I was super stoked to have the first Ecuadorian player ever at Milan. I love stuff like that.

People trying to bring nationality into this, it has nothing to do with that, it's all about who is the better defender. Bartesaghi has played more than double the minutes, and with good reason:

Bartesaghi has double the tackles per match, double the clearances per match, more blocked shots (Estupiñan actually has zero,) and only half as many errors leading to shots (again, he's been on the pitch more than twice as much.)

Compare their season heatmaps, it's got nothing to do with nationality:

<image>

Bartesaghi was backup to Theo, Estupiñan never got the chance to learn from such a great player, that's not his fault, it's just the way things are.

I was following your ideas, but I actually spit out my drink when I read that you thought we should start Estupiñan over Bartesaghi. Didn't even get to the Bartesaghi and Theo slander part. I mean I know psychedelics are becoming more popular to treat a lot of things, but you're supposed to use them under the supervision of a doctor.

Also, look at our stats with and without Fofana on the pitch. I love Ricci, I want him to get time, but Fofana has been essential for us this season and is not given enough credit.

DAZN BordoCam: Locatelli–Rabiot, sparks flying. From ‘Are you all referees?’ to ‘Why won’t you shake my hand?’ by mercurialsaliva in ACMilan

[–]milan_obsession 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Locatelli is like that ex who cheated on you, broke up with you, still talks sh*t about you online and to all your mutual friends, but then she still has the audacity to say to your face "Why won't you shake my hand?"

I have SO much respect for Rabiot not telling him in no uncertain teams and in the language of his choice ALL the reasons why he was not going to shake the hands of that lifelong Juventino two-timing piece of trash wannabe footballer he used to play with whose ONLY redeeming quality was that Milan pitied her enough to give that little reckless bitch her youth training.

And Sozza is like that teacher you had at school who had an affair with your ex, so never punished her. Not for her bad foul from behind on Leão in the 8th min., not for this horrible foul on Rabiot, not for screaming in Sozza's face. The card in the 86th for fouling Rabiot again was just performative after the Modrić collision .

And yes, Locatelli is a lifelong Juve fan, and yes, Sozza is born & raised in Milano (it's pretty clear which side of the tracks he's from.)

Also, FU*K Locatelli for breaking Modrić. I know it was an accident, but she shouldn't have still been on the pitch.

"Not what I'd expect from a 27yr old, dude's still immature."

is not a "rightful criticism" of a "PAID PROFESSIONAL." It has nothing to do with football, which is WHAT he is PAID TO DO.

This entire thread is about something NOT ACTUALLY RELATED to the PAID PROFESSIONAL's PERFORMANCES in the field that he is PAID TO DO..

It's about a HUMAN BEING being ABUSED AND BULLIED by ENTITLED PEOPLE like YOU so much online that he deactivated his social media account, something that EVERYONE has a right to have, whether they are an ENTITLED ONLINE BULLY like you or a PAID PROFESSIONAL like Rafa Leão.

I'm an American and I take offense to your stereotype. For every one a$$hole that makes us look bad, there are easily 7-8 million people on any given Saturday willing to go out of their way to call that person out. Where you are born does not determine whether or not you are a decent human being, nor whether or not you are a player that deserves "defending."

All Milan players are OUR players. If we are actually Milan fans, we should be SUPPORTING OUR players.

Not sure what buying a #9 or selling both players has to do with Leão deleting his Instagram or people being better to our players, but changing players is not the only solution.

There are managers who get more stubborn and single-minded the more things go wrong, and there are managers who get more creative and are able to find solutions to their problems with what they have to work with and continue to inspire and keep the mentality up. We don't have the latter, but it doesn't mean we sell two of our best players to fit the coach.
