Wednesday Milan Musings, Where do we go from here...
By Gianfranco | March 6th, 2008It is eerily starting to feel like one of the worst periods I can ever remember for the Rossoneri. 11 seasons ago Milan looked a bit like it does now, and though it may be hard to really think and talk about it, it is really worth exploring the cause and
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | February 5th, 2008I know my recap is a little late but I want to get the space and time they deserve. I was also waiting on more news regarding everyone’s favorite duck, Pato and his, what someone has called horrific ankle injury. We have at one point or another rolle
Silly, silly, silly month is over.
By Shazback | February 3rd, 2008Whilst the EPL has splashed £150M (that's £7,5M per club, and since Man U and Arsenal didn't spend a penny, £8,3M per club for the other 18) during January 2008, French clubs were more conservative. With a grand total of 27 buys (real buys, not loans),
Milan 2 - Genoa 0

Atalanta 2 - Milan 1
By Gianfranco | January 24th, 2008Well there is a ton weighing on my mind after watching this game. First of all the Rossoneri had at least 5 solid chances in front of net in the first half. Pato missed a sure fire goal, as many of us tifosi have known in the past when Milan misses chan
Coppa Crash and Burn
By Gianfranco | January 17th, 2008Yesterday’s game was a prime example that not everything is a peachy as we would like to think. I believe there is no excuse for a squad with the history, financial backing, and cast of players to lose in the Coppa Italia. If our second squad is as
Milan 5-Napoli 2 Pato, Pato, Pato, Pato
By Gianfranco | January 13th, 2008When I was younger there was a song that used to play on Italian radio with a chorus that went quando, quando, quando, quando and as I watched the kid play it somehow reminded me of that song (I posted the video for the song below and when you listen to i
Inter 2 - Milan 1
By Gianfranco | December 23rd, 2007Hang your head Nelson, you really showed us your world class keeper skills today. Two stoppable shots, the second of the two literally looking like you got out of the way may have cost the Rossoneri a logistical shot at finishing in the Champions L

Azzuri Observations, and OH YEAH Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | September 13th, 2007All is well in Azzuri land tonight as the WC Champs beat Shevchenko, I mean Ukraine 2-1. Sheva played out of his mind and I can not tell you how many times I wished he was still wearing the old red and black. The game was not without faults though, and f

Breaking News
By Gianfranco | August 22nd, 2007It is with great shame and embarrasment that I announce Milan has spent 3.7M Euros on the transfer of El Gatto Viejo, El Puma, Emerson. Anger and emptiness are really the only feelings I have at this moment. I would like to go on record as stating that

The Boredom is Killing Me...
By Gianfranco | August 15th, 2007I do not even know what to write about anymore. I was tempting to start blogging articles about the youth soccer team I coach. There is only so much reporting I can do on Milan's bipolar 'Dinho love affair. I have no doubt in my mind that he will wear
Emerson to Milan! No, Wait. Never Mind.
By Martha | August 15th, 2007The headlines of all the major sports papers in Italy today are shouting the news of Emerson's arrival in Milan, on loan with an option to buy from Real Madrid. Which would be just fine, were it not for a little statement on the Milan website that says "A

By Martha | August 10th, 2007Alright, folks, I'm sick as a dog (How do people who get regularly sinus infections keep from killing themselves?), so this is likely to be it for the day. If Luciano Moggi suddenly puts his hands up and confesses that he was, in fact, behind every bit of
Inzaghi turned down RBNY, RBNY better off
By Gianfranco | July 24th, 2007Pippo Inzaghi claims to have turned down RBNY of the MLS, even though they would have “covered him in gold” which are the words that the Champions League legend chose. I have to say that I am a little bit upset this, the Red Bulls are my favorite MLS
