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 ...
Van Basten Already Among the Goals?
By Matt | March 31st, 2008It was a good weekend in Amsterdam. (That may be the least informative lead-in you have ever read) Ajax managed a strong showing against a tough opponent, PSV dropped points, and Feyenoord lost to NAC Breda. So a draw in that last match would have ...
Tuesday Milan Musings, Samp Time
By Gianfranco | March 19th, 2008vs. The Rossoneri are still licking their wounds from an extremely difficult weekend loss, but the shorter their memory the better they will be because Cassono-less Samp is coming to town. With Samp only four points behind Milan this game
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
Thursday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | February 22nd, 2008I have got a ton of things running through my head and getting them down on paper is harder than I had imagined. My head is a whirlwind on post match days as I rethink, reanalyze, and in most cases re-watch the match with a more pessimistic outlook, it h
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
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.
News Roundup As We All Drink to Adriano
By Martha | January 18th, 2008•Four of the players on UEFA.com's fan-chosen Team of the Year squad ply their trade in Italy, including three Rossoneri. Kaka, Alessandro Nesta and Clarence Seedorf are joined in the team by their totally awesome mortal enemy Zlatan Ibrahimovic. (No Pi
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
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | December 18th, 2007I do not want to take away from Maldini Monday, but it is not everyday that one of the blog commenting faithful has a run in with a Milanista. The paparazzi man in question is none other than Fetyani, and the mark is the one and only Clarence Seedorf,
Urawa Reds v. Milan, Game Recap
By Gianfranco | December 13th, 2007After a two hour commute home in a freaking blizzard, I have had plenty of time to reflect on this morning’s semifinal match. I also had a chance to listen to World Soccer Daily radio show on Sirius, which put me in a worser mood. It all started as I
World Club Cup: Urawa Reds v Milan
By Martha | December 13th, 2007It turns out Milan in Japan are a lot like Milan in Italy: Lots and lots (and lots) of possession, but not a lot of scoring. The Italians were the better side this morning by about 200 miles and absolutely dominated the match, but it took them ages -- not
Champions League: Milan, Lazio Back in Action
By Martha | November 28th, 2007Like Roma and Inter yesterday, Milan go into their match in Lisbon today knowing that three points will assure them a spot in the knockout round, no matter how the Celtic-Shakhtar match ends. Benfica, meanwhile, will be desperate for a win, knowing it's t
Monday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | November 6th, 2007Well on the eve of the Rossoneri’s trip to Shakhtar I am very tempted to head over to bwin.com and throw some cash down on this game, why? Well if you look at the last few results who wouldn’t? Milan 0 Empoli 1 Milan 3 Shakhtar 1 Milan 0 Roma 1
Milan v Torino: More Booing
By Martha | November 3rd, 2007Once again, Milan fail to score at home and, once again, despite vocal support during the match, the Curva did their share of whistling when the game ended. To be fair, though, not giving up any goals should probably be seen as progress, even to a team wi
Champions League: Milan Go Crazy, Lazio Lose Unbeaten Record
By Martha | October 24th, 2007Get this: Not only did Milan win at home and score four goals, but Alberto Gilardino had two of them. Both within the first 15 minutes! So, if you see a flying pig, don't fret -- clearly this is a day for odd occurrences. In addition to Gila's explosion,
Milan 1- Parma 1, Game Recap
By Gianfranco | September 23rd, 2007I know it’s early, but the scudetto is a delicate race that can easily be lost before December rolls around. It is especially easy to lose it when your are tying teams that you are supposed to beat, Parma and Siena, if you only get one point in those g
Siena v Milan: Doh!
By Martha | September 15th, 2007Milan, playing without the resting Massimo Oddo, Ricky Kaka and Andrea Pirlo, threw away so many gilt-edge chances in the first 10 minutes that a Siena goal seems almost inevitable; such wastefulness almost never goes unpunished. Plus, Milan were making t
Siena Preview
By Gianfranco | September 14th, 2007Carletto has made it very clear that he will be resting some of the big guns for the weekend match-up in Siena. I am all for a good rotation of players that will keep everyone fresh and ready, but I am bit apprehensive with the projected lineup: Dida;
Seedorf Talks about AC Milan
By Gianfranco | June 22nd, 2007People forget that Clarence Seedorf is one of the most decorated players in the history of European football he has won Champion's Cups with Ajax, Real Madrid, and Milan as well as countless league cups and titles. At times he has not been my favorite Mi
Liverpool - Milan Prediction
By Chris | May 22nd, 2007I will come out and say this right away, there are two teams that I have supported passionately and to the detriment of my health throughout the majority of my years: AS Roma and Liverpool. As for the 1984 final, I was less than one year old and more conc
Billy's Last Ride
By Gianfranco | May 20th, 2007Today was Costacurta's farewell game against Udinese and it was an interesting one at that. He was given the start and slipped into an almost midfield role, which kept him involved on both sides of the ball. It was also fitting that in his last game he
GATTUSO TIME
By Gianfranco | May 4th, 2007I do not think Ringhio's perfomance yesterday could be summed up in words. He literally made the midfield his, while making certain that CRonaldo was suffocated on every single attack. It was a perfomance that should be seen and remembered from die hard
Champions League: Post-Mortem Whining from Sir Alex
By Martha | May 3rd, 2007Though he did manage to acknowledge -- through clenched teeth, one assumes -- Milan's superiority last night, Sir Alex Ferguson also squeezed whining about the officiating, the domestic schedule, and how tired his players were into his post-match comments
Champions League: Hurrah!
By Martha | May 2nd, 2007Well that was just utterly awesome -- classic Milan, dominating a shockingly hapless Man U side. So many fantastic moments, too: •Gila's brilliant, cool finish to put the game away. •Apart from one glaring instance, Milan's willingness to cl
Champions League: Knocking On Wood Many, Many Times
By Martha | May 2nd, 2007I almost don't want to say anything for fear of breaking the spell. But. The Milan midfield are playing like gods, attacking sharply and defending so well Ronaldo is fleeing the left flank just to get away from Gattuso, who is eating his lunch. Also:
Some observations from Saturday
By Gianfranco | April 29th, 2007Strange lineup for Ancelotti, it seems as though he was unsure of his Wednesday line up or he was just getting some players some work. Not quite sure why he brought in Jankulovski, who has been playing fantastic as of late, and why would you insert Gourc
Champions League: Hear that Jangling? That's My Nerves.
By Martha | April 24th, 2007First of all, of Patrice Evra is injured, I'd hate to see him healthy. Sir Alex is a big liar. Dida looks like crap, and the Milan backs in general took at least 25 minutes to settle into the game. Against a team like Man U, that's about 24 minutes too
