AC told to leave Sheva alone

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/6723943.stm



"Sheva is part of the history of Milan and he's saddened to have left," added Galliani. "Has Shevchenko told me that he regrets it? I will not answer that."

Well in that case, clearly he hasnt.

Firstly, AC roughly means Football Club in English.

Secondly, I interpreted Galliani's coyness as an indication that Sheva does indeed regret leaving.

doesn't Associazione Calcio translate into Football Association ?

Quite right, and that's why I said "roughly". There was a whole column on this by Glanville, the anachronism of anachronisms. Even he finds it odd when English commentators persist in calling Milan by the name AC. It is roughly equivalent to calling Chelsea simply FC.

Similarly, as bluenine and others will doubtless testify, there is no such thing as Inter Milan. Internazionale or Inter.

Yeah , The Simpsons are no 1

The Movie is out sooon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL50ddCSJmo

I'd rather call AC Milan ... Meelan.

I think to the English it is like Real and Athletico and dropping the madrid to call them Inter and AC and dropping the milan.

Italian commentators call manu simply Manchester, e.g. welcome to the CL semi-final between Manchester and Milan.

Yeah I know you like the Simpsons. But do you like the Sopranos? That picture is based off of the Sopranos cover (season 6 or the current bonus episodes I believe).

The Simpsons showing the Sopranos how its done .. Fey and Parks on here are fans (from what i know)

This is the real stuff - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1rNzifph40

So AC are trying to lure Sheva from FC, eh?

I still get a bit bugged by it... not when people on this board do it, but when the football pundits in this country do it... why can't papers find pundits who actually know about Italian football to cover Serie A I will never understand.

Specially Inter Milan, where did that get invented from?? Its ok to say Inter of Milan, or Inter from Milan. But Inter Milan is like saying Chelsea London and Arsenal London.

Just got some bad news. They are not being shown in the UK till September, even though there is only one episode to go in the States.

Ok in that case I won't start the thread. I was going to discuss what everyone thought the last episode was going to be like, but I see Europe won't get it for a while.

I've read all the episode guide though on the official site. So I know where they are basically up to.

Also been on a Soprano's forum, reading people's predictions of what will happen. Some pretty weird predictions.

All I got to say is Parky, MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THESE EPISODES!

Yeah, everyone has been saying how great they are.

Even reading what happened with Chrissy made me shocked.

I say AC because its shorter to type. Im really that Lazy

The only show that I wont be downloading, allthough with the delay it makes it very hard for me!!!

Hope it gets on DVD soon, so I can watch it in style with some slices gabagool next to me.
