A.C. MILAN OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION
With reference to the protest lodged by FC Barcelona regarding the condition of the pitch at the San Siro, A.C. Milan wishes to communicate that:

1)The watering of the pitch within an hour before kick-off, as agreed n the organizational meeting yesterday morning was not done due to the already high levels of humidity of the pitch.

2)The general state of the pitch, which the Barcelona team trained on the previous evening without any problems, was declared to be acceptable by the referees and the UEFA delegates.

Barca are simply ridiculous

I can't see Milan beating barca at nou, but boy I would be estatic if they do.

Athletic Bilbao jersey ftw!


Also UEFA needs to clarify whats the point of the goal line officials.. I never see them make any calls of stuff that happens in the box, such a waste of space

Messi, can you photoshop Leo Messi's face in those pics? I don't want to shatter the illusion of talking to Leo Messi on GAF.

Thanks.

I hope for football sake Barca win at the Nou Camp, this tie gives me the same feeling the Inter match did, Italian team defending with 10 men hoping to get a result by scoring a goal from a quick counter or set piece. Only one team playing attacking football, I hate defense minded teams.

To paraphrase Jonathan Wilson: "Defending is an integral part of football with its own aesthetics and appeal. Whoever likes to watch a team attacking when they really would be better off not to should turn to more instant satisfaction, like basketball or pornography."

Defending is integral part of the sport sure, but who wants to see a team bottle all 11 players in their box for 90 minutes hoping to get a 0-0 draw, specially a team like AC Milan, we are not talking about Granada doing this

A good defensive performance is just as entertaining as a good attacking one to me personally. I really enjoy watching players who read the game well. Apart from Stoke they can fuck off.



Off topic but I am pissed: my stupid absent-minded self went into the ASoIaF spoiler thread. I'm only near the end of book 3. By the time I realized what I was reading, I was 50 posts through a page.

Except they didn't and could have scored at least twice if it wasn't for awful finishing.

They look fucking horrible.

Anyone who wears those boots deserves a kick in the shins.

Pretty much my sentiments.

I have red boots and even they're a bit too flamboyant for me. Bright pink though? Not a bloody chance.

edit:

the boots in question...

Bielsa watched 42 videos of Schalke ahead of Europa League match with Athletic tonight.

I still believe Schalke can win this match.

I think they will; unless Bilbao show up and inevitably suffer in the league for it.

Well our next game is Barcelona at Nou Camp on 47hrs rest, so I hope we ignore that match since it will be a loss anyway and go full out, even then I am not very confident as the team has shown signs of lot of fatigue lately and Llorente and Herrera are not full strength

You guys just don't have any swag. I love throwing in colors that don't mesh all the time. My lacrosse stick is black with Purple mesh. It looks stunning.

Awesome boots, best I have EVER had. I had Predator X's before the AdiPowers. They are really, really good boots.

Wait? We have been moved again?

Feared and despised the powerful FootballGaf horde moves on, looking for new lands to despoil and ravage.
