But not just "Milan" whenever I say that people go "Which one?"
>>65721353
Only a retard would ask which one.
>>65721353
No they don't
>>65721385
>>65721433
Literally everyone calls them AC.
It's AC and Inter, nobody says Milan because
1. It's not required
2. If you do say Milan people ask which one you mean.
air conditioning
>>65721433
>>65721385
You've clearly never actually been to Milan, then. I lived there all the time and simply saying you support "Milan" is never specific enough over there.
But go ahead and tell me how you guys know more about the people of Milan than someone's who's actually been there.

i'll clear this up, calling Milan "AC" to tell them apart from "Inter Milan" is like calling Liverpool "FC" to tell them apart from "Everton Liverpool"
>>65721842
Fucking pleb
>>65721856
But Everton aren't called "Everton Liverpool"....
They're just Everton which is very distinct from Liverpool.

AC Milan, or Milan for short.
It's well known that it's just Milan, to the point that anyone disagreeing is either incredibly retarded or obviously trolling. Either way, not worth arguing with.
Milan. EZ

I'm from Milan.
We use 'Inter' to refer to Inter, and both 'Milan' or 'AC' for AC Milan.
"AC" is probably the most used
Keep in mind we pronunce it "A (as in 'car') - CHI"
>>65722112
What do you mean "which one?"
when people say Milan it's obvious they mean AC because Inter has never been relevant and nobody outside of poor district Milan knows it or cares for it
>>65722129
There's AC Milan and Inter Milan. I want to know which one you're referring to when you say 'Milan'.
>>65722087
>It's well known that it's just Milan
Uh.... not well known by me anyway. Me (and literally everyone I've ever met) I've always said AC and so have my friends.
Also, on SKY, BBC, ESPN, BT etc. they've always said AC. So really there is literally no reason I would have to call them 'Milan' which to me sounds very ambiguous as there are in fact two Milans, one of which won the CL just a few years ago.
>>65722116
>"AC" is probably the most used
Thanks bro

It's AC.
>>65721490
No it's not. It's Inter and Milan.
Also, Lazio and Roma and Juve and Torino.

They don't though, you're chatting codshit lad.
There are two clubs in Milan, Football Club Internazionale Milano and Associazione Calcio Milan. One does not even have 'Milan' in the name. When referring to these two clubs it is only possible that you could mean AC Milan when talking about 'Milan'.
There is absolutely nothing more to say on the subject. You are retarded, consider yourself schooled.
>>65722176
but it's not true
AC
>>65722149
Kill yourself Mohammed.
>>65722179

its SS and AS
I dont like this meme desu

Why are you walking towards the camera????
It's Milan btw you inbred fuck
>>65721529
>>65721717
That's like saying 'Liverpool? which one?'.
I would normally call them AC Milan though anyway, just out of habit from being younger.
>>65722274
It's not a meme, just a britbong successfully trolling /sp/ with zero effort. How have the mighty fallen
>>65722179
Also, Madrid and Atleti.
Also, Athletic. Or Athletic Club. But not "Bilbao"
Also, la Real= Real Sociedad.
>>65722274
It has potential because it makes people mad but this guy who constantly writes out paragraphs is killing it.
>>65722302
>That's like saying 'Liverpool? which one?'.
but Everton aren't called Everton Liverpool. They're called Everton Football Club (FC)
meanwhile Inter use the city as part of their official name
Hola. Me llamo luigi. I-a from da Milan. Only fucking pleb gabagools and fugazis call Milan ""AC"".
Milan.
I would say that Milan is more common, but saying AC does Not sound weird al all 2bh famiglia

Also, Borussia= Derpmund or Mönsterinbathroom?
>>65722388
And Internazionale aren't called Inter Milan. If they ever referred to the city in their name they would use Milano, the Italian name. Why would they use the English translation?

So it's official. It's going to be impossible to discuss AC Milan in the coming because of the AC and which Milan memes.

If you couldn't tell by this thread, there's a pretty fucking big flaw being discussed right now. They don't even know their own name. They have an identity crisis. They may have been one of the best teams in the world, but they don't even know who they are.
>>65722463
Depends. What kind of Borussia are we talking abou here, BV Borussia or Borussia VfL?
>>65722463
>>65722179
Here's the thing
If you asked 100 million football fans who AC were, I reckon that 100 million of them would answer "Oh yeah, AC of Milan in Italy"
i.e. they'd know EXACTLY what you were talking about
Now with the examples you have given, I'd say maybe 50k at a push.
I personally didn't know those teams even had letters attached to their club name. I've always known them as Lazio, Roma etc.
However with AC, well that's their name. It's AC because it's too easy to confuse with Inter as they are both Milan.
>>65724934
Wrong. It's Milan.

This times a thousand.
Everyone here is forgetting one very crucial thing: It doesn't matter what convention is. It doesn't matter whether or not people commonly say "AC' when referring to "AC Milan". What matters is whether or not people can recognize it and define it the same way you would when you say it.
For instance, almost nobody I know actually pronounces tomato as "to-mah-to". Yet if I said "to-mah-to" instead of "to-may-to", fucking everyone would know what I mean, even if it's not what the conventional pronunciation is. And what basis do you have to say I'm wrong? It's mechanically correct in every aspect. That's how language and communication works.

do english commentators call Milan "AC" or something?
I have never ever heard anyone refer to them that way before /sp/ memesters some weeks ago.
>>65725051
>Milan is Milan.
Inter or AC?
>>65725016
Well said.
I'm learning Spanish at the moment and you'd be amazed how many problems I've had because of "Oh, nobody actually says that though, even if it's wrong, we still say this" type situations.
Which is fine.
It's better to use AC to differentiate the club from Inter.
>>65725054

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Watching Sky Sports news just now
The host was talking about the Mou --> United story.
They were talking about him being in Italy to watch some game and they talked about his success at Milan. They literally said "He won the treble with Milan"
My first reaction was "Which Milan?"
AC Midtjylland
>>65725138
"Bilan"

Has anyone noticed how this naming issue is always almost exclusive to dumb anglos?
Also when they call cristiano ronaldo, ronaldo, roberto carlos, carlos, or david luiz, luiz. It is like they are too fucking stupid to say two names that are not in their language. Also, americans have this problems, but i let it pass because they are just plastics, but brits, damm, can you guys try to get some culture outside of your ugly island?
>>65725377
CHI
>>65725277
Wait, wait, but Mou won the treble with Inter. So that LITERALLY means that Inter is sometimes referred to as "Milan".
>>65725377
David Luiz's first name is David and is surname is Luiz. He has 'Luiz' on his shirt because that's what is surname is.
Same applies to Ronaldo.
Roberto Carlos is different.
>>65725473
That's the entire point. Milan can refer to either AC or Inter, that's why it's easier to use those. But some autists still don't get it and will say "Milan" confusing everyone
>>65725484
one thing is not caring, the other is just spouting objectively wrong opinions.
Luiz, Ronaldo or Carlos are not surnames. They are arbitrary first names, could have been composed the other way.
If their parents decided to name them Luiz David, Ronaldo Cristiano, Carlos Roberto, Enrique Luis, that'd be perfectly valid, they're all first names.
>>65725473
it isn't, he's just making shit up
>>65725377
Piss off fatty.
>>65725484
>David Luiz's first name is David and is surname is Luiz
Wrong. David and Luiz are both his first names.
His surname is Moreira (mother's) Marinho (father's).
>not having a composite first name
>>65725611
DON'T HUE'S HAVE LIKE 2 OR 3 MIDDLE NAMES THOUGH?

Nah, you get retards from every country.
>Also when they call cristiano ronaldo, ronaldo, roberto carlos, carlos, or david luiz, luiz.
Never heard anyone refer to Roberto Carlos as Carlos, or David Luiz as Luiz, tbf.
When you're talking about Ronaldo, people usually know whether you're talking about Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldo Fenomeno based on the tense in which you are speaking, and what the general conversation is about.
>>65722229
If someone says "Inter and Milan" and you have to ask which Milan they're referring to when they say "Milan", then I think you're just retarded, tbqhwy.
