chucky234: Well I started watching AC when Paolo's father was still playing for AC Milan, in the early 90's coaches tried pairing Paolo with Franco Baresi but Maldini always had that flaws playing as a center back.
In 2004 Paolo Maldini was paired with Alexander Nesta in Milan derby against Inter and was made silly by Obafemi Martins,the coach had to play him as a left back in the return leg fixture yet Obagoal took advantage of Paolo's weakness and scored.
As a center back Taribo was better than Paolo Maldini.

Haba Una too dey lie. If u actually did watch Ac Milan in the 90s u would have known Maldini actually did play centre back whenever either Baresia or costarcuta was missing and he did excel playing that role. He was magnificent in Milan's 4-0 drubbing of the dream team when we had both our regular centre back pairing missing. Not forgetting italy's world cup campaign in the states where he played most of the games at centre back.

Funny you should mention 2004 because the centre half pairing of sandro and paolo was one of the main reasons we won the Scudetto. If we want to talk about mistakes I'm pretty sure we'll be here till 2moro if we made a list of taribo's mistake.

Ricky Hatton has got killed me haha haha

He said the judge that scored the fight a 114-114 draw should never judge again. He continues even the 116-112 decision was an insult. Can't say he is wrong however.

CANELO APPARENTLY CAME IN WEIGHTING 165ILB. FLOYD ON THE OTHER HAND MAINTAINED HIS 150 PRE FIGHT WEIGHT IN WEIGHT.

Yes Mayweather!!!

Arrogant lil Sod but boy is he good. Take a bow son. Manny won't last 8 rounds with this dude. His defence is pretty much impenetrable. One of the greatest boxers the world has ever seen. Take a second look people because you'll unlikely to see another boxer with this much ring craft, skill and guide in your lifetime.

Nothing to be too worried about. It's still pretty early

Just happy to know Juve can't pull a "MOGGII" this time around.

afrodoc: yes but fergie himself later admitted it was a mistake and he could have handled it differently

Yeah it certainly was. Still remember him doing a very good for Milan when he signed some 5-6 years later.

fredoooooo: pastor , you be milan or juve fan ?

Juve ke? Gawd forbid bad thing........... No inter thread as far as I know so nah only Juve thread I fit disturb.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Dont stretch it to the national team, u'd be sodomizing the duo.

Lets just focus on the triquetra's impact on club levels - Frank killed them both.[/color]

Statistically Lampard has been the best of the lot. Then again football is based on stats alone.

afrodoc: one of ferguson's Bleep ups.
another one was selling a prime time jaap stam and replacing him with an over the hill laurent blanc.cost us a 4th successive EPL title

Huge Mistake I must say. He'll probably be united 2nd best if not best midfielder with the display i am currently witnessing.

Selling Stam had more to do with Fergie's enormous than anything else. His autobiography and all of that crap

What a gem of a player Pogba is.

Currently watching the Inter vs Juve match and he has been impressive

GOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAZZZZZZZOOOOO!!!!!

JUVE ONE NIL DOWN AT THE SAN SIRO


....................JUVE EQUALIZES.....ARTURO VIDAL EQUALIZES AFTER GOOD WORK FROM ASAMOAH.

TEVEZ COMES WITHIN AN INCH OF PUTTING U GUYS IN FRONT.

GREAT GAME THUS FAR............................

Lampard vs Gerrard vs Scholes............ A debate that would ramble on after the three of them are long gone



Funny enough Lampard's performance in euro 2004 is probably the best of the lot as far as tournament football is concerned.

Dis one nah game?

Abeg make person go watch correct game. INTER VS JUVE.......Second half here I come

Here's hoping and praying for a 5 setter. Better be worth my hard earned admission fee

SailorXY: lmao ... But he's definitely not as slow as Ronald Koeman? I'm not sure, yet Koeman was highly successful as far as footie is concerned, even moves forward from defense and scored loads of goals for Barca

oh boy na true nah. Those legs long jare. Plus the way he moved around in a gazelle like fashion was a joy to behold. In my top 3 midfielders of the mid 90s til early noughties..

He certainly was not as slow. Then again pace in that area of the field is not of great importance. Probably Less so with regards to the premier league.

elampiro: . To me, Busquet is quick, but to most people he is slow like Carrick. The whole thing goes back to a CM or a defender not allowing opponents to out pace him.

But Sergio is not quick. He just has great positional sense and awareness which ensures he is hardly ever beaten for pace. Ditto Makalele. This does not mean both players are "quick" in the true sense of the word.

Tales By Moonlight..........

elampiro: I don't like a kind of Scholes and Carrick partnership. They have lots of skilful abilities but they were too slow and soft and allowed opponents too much room to operate.

Counter attack can be done in the midfield. JS Park and Rooney orchestrated so many from the middle in those days. Silva and Toure usually burst opponents open from the middle with a swift counter.

However, I agree with you that central midfield players do not necessarily need speed to succeed, but who they pair at the middle of the park matters so much. Just as Edgar Davids, Fernado Rendodo and Luis Enrique used their speed to help their midfield partners in those days.

When was Fernando Redondo ever quick? He simply just had long elegant legs. That's all. Dude had no pace whatsoever.

Obi1kenobi: Chei, but Serena be like man sha. Look at those biceps, those thunder thighs, those wide shoulders, that bulging neck, that big head. She may have a decent career playing against some men.

The booty nko? The hips nko? How bout those bosoms? Shey dem resemble man?

He'll ban your a** very u go see. We don't tolerate 8 years soon to be 10 years of trophylessness and hopelessness on this thread

chic2pimp: Hold tight me fellow scummies...... 13M accepted for Mccarthy.

Failure to get James was the reason why Everton weren't ready to hold talks with you lot. That barrier is broken now. I expect Fellani to be announced as your latest signing by midday 2moro.

As predicted by yours truly

FELLANI SIGNS FOR £27.5M. Panic buy if you ask me really
