Last Day, Last Hope...
By Gianfranco | May 16th, 2008Do or die days are always much better when your fate is in your own hands. It is sad to think that at this point even a win is not enough to guarantee CL play. It is sad to think that at this point even a win is not enough to guarantee CL play, inst ...
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 ...
Time for Trip to the Motherland
By Gianfranco | May 9th, 2008This weekend the Rossoneri travel to an old time foe, which still holds a place in my heart, after all I am Napolitano. Place in my heart or not, I don’t care about anything but a Milan victory this weekend, because with the way the table stan ...
Derby Recap, and Welcoming a Frenchman
By Gianfranco | May 7th, 2008I have to admit I am still overly thrilled with the derby win, and still salivating over the thrilling potential of the scudetto going down to the wire. An all around dominate performance from Milan, and I would have to say that less the last 15-2 ...

Sometimes a Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words
By Gianfranco | May 4th, 2008Milan 2 - Inter 1 IT WASNT EASY, BUT ITS A WIN AND 4th PLACE!!!!!!! Thanks to Fetyani for the splendid picture. Full recap to come on Tuesday after we pay homage to Paolo. But I bet you guys to have plenty to say. ...
It is almost time...
By Gianfranco | May 1st, 2008I never get sick of that one. I can not remember a Serie A derby with this much riding on it for as long as I have been a Milan fan. This is possibly because I have spent the last 5-10 years drinking heavily on Saturday nights rendering Sunday ...
Tuesday Milan Musings, Livorno 1 - Milan 4
By Gianfranco | April 28th, 2008Four goals are always impressive no matter the competition. I will say that the two whoopings that Milan has handed out are against relegations teams, and it may or may not be all the necessary to beat up on teams that maybe don’t deserve it. But ...
Thursday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | April 24th, 2008Going away to a team deep in the relegation battle is never an easy prospect. I would consider this game very much a carbon copy of last week, except this time it is away from home which has proved to be a bit more friendly to the Rossoneri than we ...
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 ...
Friday Milan Musings, the Saga Continues
By Gianfranco | April 18th, 2008There was a time when a more successful Milan team comfortably in the top two or three of Serie A would roll over for a relegation zone team like Reggina. The problem is that this Milan is not comfortably atop the table, in fact they are not comfort ...
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | April 15th, 2008I hate to beat a dead horse, but I want to get in a few final thoughts about the Juve game. I am still a bit upset with Bonera and it appears that I am not the only one. It seems Bonera may get a suspension from the FIGC stemming from his poor tack ...
Juve 3 Milan 2,
By Gianfranco | April 12th, 2008When the game ended today, I did something I had not done in a long, long time. I shut off the TV and walked away in a vain attempt to take my mind completely off of today’s match. I was not even going to write tonight because quite frankly I did ...

Thursday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | April 10th, 2008There was a time when this fixture on the Serie A calendar was as good a game as it gets. Both teams fought tooth and nail for the scudetto for many years and I still the great matchups with Zidane squaring off against Paolo and the Rossoneri’s de ...
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | April 8th, 2008Look I hate to criticize a win, but someone has to do it, and why shouldn’t that someone be me. I will start some good points though, Bonera was excellent. He pushed forward and got back and made the most of his chance to play. He should get use ...
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 ...
Milan v. Cagliari
By Gianfranco | April 5th, 2008vs. Jeremy gives a fine preview at Cagliari Offside, I will see you all for a recap. ...
Milan - Atalanta
By Gianfranco | March 30th, 2008vs. I am not going to sit here and poor with a preview of a game that we should, need, and must win. Atalanta are as complacent as they come in the middle of the table and should be ripe for the picking, but we all know how that goes d ...
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
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 | March 14th, 2008To Stadio Olimpico the Rossoneri go on Saturday afternoon for a very pivotal game against a Roma side who is coming in hot. With a dispatching of Real Madrid and a handy win over Napoli Roma are firing on all cylinders and have their eyes squarely
Tuesday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | March 11th, 2008Today beckons with an age old question, Inter or L’Pool? Quite frankly if they both somehow eliminated themselves, maybe because Inter has two many internationals and are now considered the Junior Argentine National Team, thus disqualifying them fr
Saturday Morning Hangover
By Gianfranco | March 8th, 2008Sorry for the long layoff, but the family life has been a bit hectic the past few days. It has actually been a good thing because it keeps me from worrying about Milan. So when I sat down this morning catching up on the last post and reading all the grea
