Wednesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | May 13th, 2008It is really hard to let a game like Sunday’s rest especially after reading match reviews and comments from various websites. It hurts as a fan to have the heart of your team questioned, but it also forces you to think about those accusations bein ...
Napoli 3 - Milan 1
By Gianfranco | May 12th, 2008"Gyorgy Garics got it in stoppages, totally unmarked to volley in a Mannini cross from the left, as Milan had stopped playing some time ago." That sentence alone truly sums up the way I feel about the game on Sunday. What is there to say when you ...
Pato and Diego Support Ronaldo in that Transvestite "Misunderstanding"
By Laurie | May 1st, 2008I have always believed that it is under adverse circumstances that one discovers who one's true friends are. Like mistaking transvestite prostitutes for the real thing. Ronaldo may be on the verge of losing both his girlfriend and his Nike spons ...
Milan 5 - Reggina 1
By Gianfranco | April 22nd, 2008No transfer talk today, only joy of a win that finally made me smile. Even if you take a away the two PK’s, with the first being more deserved than the second, you still have a 3-1 Rossoneri domination. Congrats to Kaka on what was a beauty of a ...
Milan 3 - Cagliari 1, ITS ABOUT TIME!!!
By Gianfranco | April 5th, 2008As I sit down to watch the Red Bulls with a towering gin and tonic, I start milling through the game post comments and game recaps on various websites. The comments coupled with the recaps have given me a strong feeling on the game, which I still ha ...
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | April 1st, 2008ON A SIDE NOTE: I was going to make an April Fools post today, but then I realized that someone at goal.com might read it and consider it the truth. That would leave me feeling pretty bad so instead... Let's Talk Strikers... Pato will be her ...
International Friendlies: Goals Galore
By chris | March 27th, 2008So what do you do when you're playing for your country but the matches are technically meaningless? Pad your highlight reel, that's what. A mixture of old standbys, up and comers, superstars in the now and relative nobodies provided some spectacu ...
Brazil 1 - 0 Sweden: His Name is Pato.
By Bruno Romani | March 26th, 2008To start talking about this match, it is mandatory to forget that it celebrated the 50th anniversary of Brazil’s first World Cup. In the 58 final, Brazil had Zito, Vavá, Didi, Garrincha, Nilton Santos besides a youngster named Pelé. In 08, Brazil ...
Torino 0 Milan 1, The Road is an OK Place
By Gianfranco | March 22nd, 2008Was it a needed 3 points, yes. Did it come easily, no. Was it pretty certainly not, but the squad needed the points so badly that it is hard to really argue how they got them. Carletto’s Lineup today featured two strikers sensing a bit of urgency f
Milan 1 v. Samp 2
By Gianfranco | March 20th, 2008I have to say that if the Rossoneri are tired physically, then speaking on our behalf, if I may we are tired emotionally and mentally. Since the loss against Arsenal, the squad has been on a rollercoaster that has not only turned my stomach inside out bu
Roma 2 Milan 1, The Slide Continues
By Gianfranco | March 16th, 2008A game like the one today weighs extra heavy on me because it almost feels like a waste when it is all said it done. It is very important to quite frankly come out at say that Roma did by no means dominate the game today. Today was a pure example of coa
Milan 0 - Arsenal 2, The beginning of the End?
By Gianfranco | March 5th, 2008There really isn’t much I can say right now that will make me feel any better, in fact a review or match recap in my eyes is a futile exercise that may actually only make me feel worse. As I sit here and watch the game a second time around it really ha
Milan 1 Lazio 1, Not so Good
By Gianfranco | March 2nd, 2008I have sulked all day, and have yet to really recover. If I sound bitter it is become I am. Today the Rossoneri was exposed for exactly what they are. A team that lacks the bite to make the final strike in the attacking third, the past few games have
Thursday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | February 28th, 2008First the good news, the first ever Milan Meet and Greet was in my opinion a success, we got to learn a ton of new stuff as well and meet some new members of the Rossoneri faithful. A couple of the great points were the unconditional love for Maldini as
Arsenal 0 - Milan 0, Everyone Take a Deep Breath
By Gianfranco | February 21st, 2008There is a little trailer video from today’s game that I found a bit late, but enjoy it anyway. First things first, WE ARE OK! An away goal would have been grand but you have to believe in the Carletto’s way here, this game is erased and now a
Arsenal v Milan: Lucky Lucky
By chris | February 20th, 2008Arsenal 0 - Milan 0: The Rossoneri should count their lucky stars they were able to take a stalemate from the Emirates back to Milan tonight. Emmanuel Adebayor missed the sitter of all sitters in the dying seconds by heading a ball off the woodwork whe
Milan Take On The Gunners
By chris | February 20th, 2008Arsenal v Milan: First of all, a sigh of relief for all the Rossoneri faithful: Zeljko Kalac will be playing. (The fact that Kalac playing requires a sigh of relief is kinda funny, you've got to admit.) Which means Valerio Fiore, he of two appearances
Milan 1 - Siena 0
By Gianfranco | February 10th, 2008Forget Pato, say hello to PALOSCHI!!! OK maybe I am getting a little overzealous here, but you have to say scoring a goal in less then 30 seconds on the pitch on his first touch of the ball is pretty freaking impressive. Even that moment of joy
Wednesday Milan Musings, With a Touch of BLUE
By Gianfranco | February 7th, 2008First things first, Portugal is easily the one of the better teams in Europe, and I do not like to look all that much into friendlies. But as an Azzuri fan you really have to like what you saw and as a Milan fan you have to like it even more, this was a

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
Thursday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | February 1st, 2008Well the day after a win is always bittersweet. I am still really happy about the win, but it has time to settle and I really start picking apart what I did not like. I guess we can start with what I did like though this time around. -Rino and Pirlo
Milan 2 - Genoa 0
By Gianfranco | January 27th, 2008If you are watching and are near a computer, which you should be, feel free to rant about the game, as they say it is always better to lose with friends, or celebrate with them. Well what is there to say as this game begins: -Keep Borriello under wr
News Round-Up As Donadoni Keeps Talking
By Martha | January 24th, 2008•In case you missed it, Atalanta beat Milan 2-1 yesterday despite, as often happens with Milan's opponents, having much less of the ball, and the worse of the play. (La Gazzetta gave Pato a 4.5. Nico Burdisso, who was lasted less than eight minutes befo
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
Odds n Ends on a Quiet News Day
By Martha | January 22nd, 2008•A man who knows a good PR opportunity when he sees it, Dunga has called Pato into the Brazil team for a February 6 friendly against the Republic of Ireland. (Dunga also coaches Brazil's national team, which goes a long way toward explaining Pato's pres
Udinese 0 - Milan 1, WE WON
By Gianfranco | January 20th, 2008Was it pretty? No. Did they win? Yes. Look the goal came very very very late, and the Udine defender really massacred a clearance giving Pato, then Kaka, and Gila a shot at the net. The rest is three points in the win column and with three games in han
Saturday Evening Hangover, The Drinks Just Keep on Comin
By Gianfranco | January 20th, 2008UEFA names top eleven and three Rossoneri make the top 11 with one oddly MIA. You read that folks, NO OLD LADIES, NO INTERISTAS (for the moment I a can not consider Zlatan an Interista, he is not Argie so he will be withheld), AND NO ROMAN PRETTY BOYS.
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | January 15th, 2008-By the sheer grace of God the trance has been lifted from Silvio Berlusconi! He is no longer madly in love with Ronaldinho, instead he has turned his attention to other players. On top of that he claimed that, “We would not do anything to get him.”
Week 18, Or: It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Pato!
By Martha | January 14th, 2008Milan not only scored at the San Siro, but they won there, too. And it's all down to Pato! ALL HAIL PATO! Wait, what? You say Ronaldo scored twice, and that Pato didn't sprout wings and fly around the ground while choirs of angels sang his praises? Seriou
