Pipita celebrated What a douche

Personally I hate the players who don't celebrate own goals just because they have scored against his former club
Basically Quagliarella can't celebrate against half of Serie A
I consider it as a stupid habit born in 2000s years, the fair play narrative has done damages

Entirely agreed, i dislike this practice because most of the times it isn't sincere. Bonucci probably would not celebrate his first goal against Juve, but if he did, who cares honestly. He plays for Milang now. Same for Pogba, Vidal, Zaza and whoever else.

Shitty, sterilized societies nowadays, where people only behave nice and proper because of fear to offend people

[Luca]

I think its a nice gesture when it involves a strong history or a youth player who grew up in the city as for Higuain, not like he cared about Napoli's feelings when he left them to join the only team in Italy that was better, Durant style.

He didn't celebrate last season, providing them a year of mourning while he was the most hated man to set foot into Napoli in a Juve shirt for quite some time [ever?], which says a lot

[Warrior]

San Paolo fans can be thankful to Higuain for still having respect last season.

If an entire city called me a traitor and burn down my jerseys in the streets, i would have celebrated ALL my goals with middle fingers up running around the field.

[rincon]

I think it depends, case by case.

If I see Quags celebrating against us, who cares. I only like the no celebration if the player truly has deeper ties with the club. Like if Di Natale had accepted one of our bids, I would expect it and understand it that he wouldn't celebrate scoring on Udinese.

Higuain did write history with Napoli with the record, so last year's no celebration I understood.

If someone signs Florenzi, I would 100% expect him not to celebrate against Roma for example.

Now if Pjaca leaves and scores against us? no big deal. Same for Cuadrado, Khedira, Pjanic and others.

Gattuso coaching debut tomorrow, let's see how he pans out

[RealGunner]

11:30am ffs

day 1

[Robespierre]

I wonder if Belotti is an one season wonder ....

[Warrior]

11:30am ffs

day 1

Those are the worst games, i complaint about them on previous page. it's at 6:30am for North American east coast, would you believe

Thankfully it's only Benevento-Milang (so not worth waking up for it)...

[Luca]

Gattuso coaching debut tomorrow, let's see how he pans out

If you guys don't win against Benevento then just call it a day and start playing cricket or fly kites or something

[Robespierre]

It is problem also for us Italians, watching the match at hour of lunch pls
I don't know someone who appreciates match at 12 30 AM seriously

[Warrior]

If they lose against Benevento then Fassone & Mirabelli need to resign.

That said, i don't expect this to happen, my most recent bet includes Milan win by 2 goals or more.

[Casciavit]

4:30 a.m where I'm at

A win is NEEDED

[Luca]

They'll surely beat Benevento. I actually think Gattuso will do well and gain the knee jerk reaction that this Milan team desperately need but the season is essentially a write off unless they can pull some magic in the EL

[Warrior]

For now i expect a flop, but Gattuso deserves the benefit of the doubt for the next 5 games...

10/15 pts is the minimum target

Y'all know we gonna drop points to Benevenuto right?

[Luca]

Y'all know we gonna drop points to Benevenuto right?

Not possible. I expect a 3-0 Milan win. Hype train starts tomorrow and ends next December when Gattuso is fired after signing a 7 year extension for finishing seventh and making the semi final of the Europa League. It’s written in the stars that are on Juve’s shirt

[Kaladin]

Criminal fan resorting to CJing even when they probably gonna afk-win the league. Sad!

[rincon]

Benevento is missing theirb3 best players, Ciciretti, Laazar and Iemello, classic Milan.

Gattuso's first lineup:
Donnarumma; Romagnoli, Bonucci, Musacchio; Rodriguez, Montolivo, Kessie, Borini; Bonaventura, Kalinic, Suso

[Hapless_Hans]

GRIT AND STEEL

Can't wait

[Kaladin]

I never wish death on footballers

Kalinic is challenging me on this though

[Hapless_Hans]

Say what you will about Calhanoglu -and I will say that he is as stupid as a loaf of bread-
but surely he is comfortably better than these scrubs Milan is we are playing there in their our midfield

[rincon]

Calhanoglu has looked lost in midfield, doesn't look like he can play CM at all.

[Hapless_Hans]

Milan being outplayed by what seems to a be club transported through time and league from the 1970s 2nd division

[Hapless_Hans]

Calhanoglu has looked lost in midfield, doesn't look like he can play CM at all.

Not CM. Who has the stupid idea to play him as CM?
Schmidt played him as left sided AM in a 4-4-2

[rincon]

Then why are you comparing him to the midfield they are playing? his spot is with the forwards: Suso and Bonaventura.
