BonesJones Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Quick browse of a Milan forum and it seems they're worried about the midfield that is expected to start, and that they think Pioli could be sacked if they lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched some of the Toon Review youtube channel where even the normally quite level headed Alex has been talking about how bad they were in the Milan derby, and I think we just need to keep our feet on the ground. They are still a CL side with a pedigree playing at home, and they'll have a bunch of superstars representing. Yes we can get a result, but we might just as easily find ourselves chasing shadows for much of the game. They aren't going to just give the ball to us because we run around a lot. We will have to bring our game to them and show some confidence on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Can't believe simply going to watch a match can be so toxic. People have got slashed up already? Is this just standard fare over there or is this because they are expecting the worst from English fans and so are being more aggressive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Reddit r/soccer implying anyone who wears a team shirt at an away match basically has a death wish, not sure any of them have actually been to a game.

Yeah I get that, and it's reassuring, but they should still be treated as the favourites here, regardless of their fans being a bit nervous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally not like now where you see away fans wandering around in team shirts, not a care in the world. Obviously, it is much better like that, but even now I still find it hard to get used to, given how things used to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen footage of our fans taking over Milan, I'm guessing they probably aren't used to seeing huge crowds of chanting English fans getting pissed and sliding belly first on the streets in just a pair of shorts. For toon fans it's just a jape, but maybe it's been interpreted as aggressive over there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an opportunity to go abroad and have a good time watching the match and enjoy some light hearted banter with the locals if anything. Instead people are getting knifed over football. My God.

Personally I wouldn’t go to Italy for a game, their reputation is awful. I wouldnt have the same concerns going to Paris or dortmund, but I’d still have my wits about me and would probably avoid wearing a toon top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Oh and the Italian police do not want to know either if you’re English. Some would say they are complicit in the actions of the ultras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Man, that is crazy. You lot stay safe if you're out there. Maybe just wear your tops in the stadium but not once you are outside of it. Whole thing is disgraceful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the animal kingdom, taking your toon shirt off and sliding on your belly is a signal that you're going to drink a lot of beer and make love to their women.
