I watch a bit of Serie A and La Liga. I've brought it up a few times. What do you make of AC Milan this season? I've only seen them a few times. Why are they so shite? On a different note. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world and I dare someone to argue different.
I like Inter Milan most for whatever reason. probably because they were so relatively crap until that season after all the teams above them recieved penalties and i identify with that somehow.
I like both AC and Inter, but Inter a little more. What do you guys think of Alexandre Pato? Do you think he will live up to the hype? He's playing some really solid football, not going to lie.
If by hype you mean score 30 goals before the season's out, then no. Ancelotti's an idiot. But I do think he'll be fantastic player. Then again, I thought that about Gourcuff, Donati and others and Milan stunted their development up real nice. The likes of Patrick Vieira were lucky to get out before they rotted on the bench for too long.
That's why I was amazed that Gourcuff signed for Milan instead of us. Arsenal is one of the best places in the world for young and upcoming talent, Milan is the complete opposite. Pato seems to be the real deal though. I wouldn't be surprised if Ancelotti loses his job in the near future. If he does then, despite leading Milan to a Champions League trophy and other honours, it will be great for the team. I say this simply because a squad with the average age of like 29 or 30 is ridiculous. It doesn't allow any youngsters to break into the first team because the manager would rather go with experience. My favorite Italian team is Inter also. I just love the look of their squad. One thing that's also nice is that as well as having many world class star players like Ibrohimovic, Vieira, Chivu, Julio Cesar etc. they also have a large amount of youngsters coming through the ranks.
i think my favourite Serie A team is AC Parma simply because they had Grella and Marco...ah well that times over now
