Pirlo's last moments at AC Milan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skfdEwHhaCE

That's fuckin sad, man...even if he comes to Juve, he's forever a Milanista. You can see how hard he hugged his closest friends on the team - the ones who were with him through all the Champions League feats and World Cup feats.

Fantastic player.

Milan will miss him That's a sad video seriously..

I hope he does a great job and don't fucking ruin his career like Kaka did.

I know man, Kaka was an idiot for leaving, but I can't TRULY blame him I mean...he won EVERYTHING there is to possibly win for Milan at such a young age, but still...a lot of players like Maldini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Nesta, Cafu, Dida and Inzaghi won all that stuff too and still stuck with Milan.

Yeah for sure, I don't blame him because he wanted to try an other league, another team, and between Serie A and la Liga it's like another world, everything is different.
But I wish he went at least in a team where he would be sure to play, because that was the year when Real bought C.Ronaldo, Benzema, and some midfielders too. That's too bad for him though, he did what Shevchenko did..

4-4-2 with Essien as a right wing? Are you fucking kidding me?

[dR3]

It is THE most woeful performance of ours this season, yeah I said it.

Pitiful.

[dR3]

Lmao, are you watching the game? I don't know if I should cry or laugh. Seriously.

Beckford literally walked past the entire field and scored.

Right everyone, nail your relegation predictions to the mast:


16:00 Man Utd 2 vs 2 Blackpool

16:00 Stoke 0 vs 1 Wigan

16:00 Tottenham 2 vs 0 Birmingham

16:00 Wolverhampton 1 vs 2 Blackburn


18th: Blackpool (relegated on goal difference)
19th: Birmingham
20th West Ham

Hope Blackpool stay up but just think other results will mean they require a win.

If I had swallowed my pride and allowed myself to predict a united win I would have called it perfectly!

[cityfan31]

So Chelsea have fired Carlo.....Times like this make me seriously embarrassed to be a fan of Chelsea. The amount of managers we go through is seriously disgraceful.

You have to be grateful to Abramovich for turning you into a huge club but he's being silly now and letting himself down !

[momentsgolden]

^that was just wrong. At least Ancelloti left with pride.

So, season review-

Arsenal end forth in what looked like a two horse race a few weeks ago?
Man City join the big boys club. To Cityfan- as Fergie said "we welcome the challenge"
Barcelona -Real Madrid becomes unbelievably more competitive yet less exciting. A mourinho stay should prove interesting
Bolton finish bottom of middle level teams- c'mon Owne.
MikeNUFC- Newcastle review? 12 aint bad right?
Blackpool get relegated

And United number 19!

[Sara Marshall]

Real Madrid is the best team in Europe scoring wise.
They have scored 148 goals this season.
Next year is gonna demonstrate Real Madrid's real power.

you are real madrid fan?
I think we sharing the same team
btw! I hate guys who think All gurls cant understand football

Hope Berbatov leaves United in the summer, he was terrible today, get rid of him

Haters gonna hate.

Haters gonna hate.

He had loads of good chances, dont think he hit the target once. At the end he had 2 chances to make it 5-2 and couldnt even get one right. United dont need him no more, he's not worth 30mil +. Rather have injury prone Owen.

[Unscarred]

And now we should sell him because he had one fuckin bad match?

He's been magnificent this season, he have been the main reason we've won the title, if Berbatov hadn't proved his exceptional skills,Chelsea would've been champions. You seem to forgot who was our best player in the mid season. Disliking him right now has no foundation at all.

But you're proly one of those fans who dislike him because a) his price tag, b) their fan boy lovefest for Tevez, c) both

Im prettty sure is A right?

[Drug.Ballad]

One bad match too many

He's not the reason United won it, he had like 4 good games, thats all. If your playing up front for United enough times then your bound to score, players like Rooney, Giggs, Nani, Scholes etc put it for them on a plate.

He's just a lazy player, and is never worth that kind of money. He's not a bad player, he has some good skills and tricks, but United can find better. He should be at a club like Everton, Spurs or Villa.

4 good games? That only show how much blind are you, because of you're hate, he has been tremendous in the whole mid season, that makes more than 4 games.

So you telling me everything was put him on plate, i think you're mistaken him for Hernadez. Hernandez has no creativity or footballing brain. He just stands in the six yard box and has Rooney put goals on a plate for him. Berbatov makes his own chances, and most important he creates chances for the other, if you remember he was our top assistant last year.

And he's not lazy, that is just the way he playes, he's much more about intelligence and vision. He knows where excatly to be. As Sir Alex Ferguson has said, there's fast -- and then there's footbal l-fast. Speed in football isn't just about sprinting speed. That matters, but even then, speed without the ball is very different to speed "with the ball". Berbatov isn't the fastest sprinter, but he's no slouch when running with the ball. However, as SAF said, "speed of thought" is often more critical than "speed over the ground", and in football terms, Berbatov is certainly a fast (and very intelligent) "thinker".

This is illustrated not by "how" he moves, but by "where" and "when" he moves; to the inexperienced eye, he may appear lazy; in truth, he is both economical and efficient with his movement -- simply because he is so quick and smart at figuring out when and where to move in order to cause the defense the most difficulty. It's wrong to judge Berbatov's efficiency of movement as resulting from "laziness" or just plain "slow".

I don't know why am i even bothering explaining to you.
