Chelsea. Liverpool. Liveblog.
By Rob | April 30th, 2008Games between Chelsea and Liverpool are traditionally not as interesting as most semi-finals (Sheva, left, looks like he's sleeping to avoid it) So if it isn't amazing, you have a couple of things to do. Drink yourself to death, and follow Daryl's li ...
And Lo, Avram Grant came good on his promise.
By Rob | April 26th, 2008Over here at the Champions League offside, we've been as bemused and frustrated with Avram Grant as everybody else. Adam (a Chelsea fan) especially. The trouble was Jose Mourinho, who was in the job before him, was so damn popular. Mainly because Jos ...

The Yard Sale: Bring Your Change Wallet
By Jack | March 12th, 2008Roman is planning one of those massive yard sales, you know of the house-cleaning sort where you pick up a 30-piece set of porcelain puppies for 5 cents. So, with all this moving and shaking, how much can our favorite Russian expect to reel in from the

Ukraine v Azzurri: What, Me Worry?
By Martha | September 12th, 2007Well, that was a hell of a lot more exciting than the France game. Jesus. So, do we call Dondoni a genius now because he started Antonio Di Natale and the guy scored two goals? Or is he just lucky the team saved his job for another day? Overall, it was
Shedding Some Light
By Gianfranco | August 11th, 2007It is time to shed a little light on my feelings towards Pato. I have been a getting a ton of mixed opinions from people on the child that Milan are currently pinning their future hopes on and I want to address them. For some Pato is the next Kaka, this
Monday Milan Musings
By Gianfranco | July 23rd, 2007What exactly are insurmountable obstacles? That is question that only one Silvio Berlusconi may answer. This is his reason for giving up on bringing Sheva back to the San Siro and finally (YAY!!!) giving up on Ronaldinho. He has however said that someo

Is There Anything To Look Forward To? Well...
By Wiz | July 5th, 2007Last night on the post game show, coach..err, technical director, John Ellinger mentioned a new player coming to RSL but was being delayed by a visa problem. Could this be our "designated player"? There has been some talk lately about who the best fit w
Pitch to Politics
By Gianfranco | July 2nd, 2007Kudos to Bob for uncovering yet another ambitious Rossoneri willing to go from Pitch to Politics. Add Kaladze to the likes of Weah, who went on to president his home nation of Liberia. Everyone's favorite turncoat, Andriy Shevchenko, has also said that
Can You Believe This!
By Gianfranco | June 29th, 2007This is a list of players who have snubbed AC Milan during this transfer window: Suazo - good riddance Abidal - didn't your old frenchness anyway. Eto - snub or not, he may still be on the way. Sheva - poor baby still wants to prove himself at Chels
Hey Jose, Just Sue Me Already
By Gianfranco | June 20th, 2007Channel 4 Football Italia is reporting that Chelsea and company are considering legal action against media outlets over the Shevchenko back to Milan rumors. This is a bit ridiculous; think of the repercussions. I myself am a little bit worried because I
Sheva and Kaka and Adriano, Oh My!, Or: Rumor Mania in Milan
By Martha | June 15th, 2007This is what we get for complaining about the shortage of rumors yesterday, I guess -- today, every time you turn around there's something more outrageous in the paper. First, old Silvio Berlusconi -- a man never known to lie, exaggerate, or talk loudl
Thank God For Didier Drogba
By Martha | June 13th, 2007Were it not for Mr. Drogba stirring up the press with tantalizing talk of a move to either Italy or Spain, the rumor mill would be freakishly quiet today and we'd have absolutely nothing to wank about. (So to speak.) But, thankfully, Didier has come to ou
As the Sheva Turns
By Gianfranco | June 4th, 2007As AC Milan blogger it is my duty to post a contradictory Shevchenko rumor every single week. This week it seems that Andry wants another shot at Chelsea. How nice of him to want to prove himself to Chelsea, Mourinho and the rest of crew; I wonder if Mo
Ancelotti to Gila: Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out
By Martha | June 4th, 2007Oh, Gila. Gila, Gila, Gila. You really ought to know better than to start talking smack -- even a little -- about your club when you're at the end of a growing list of strikers. But no, you insist on opening your mouth, whining about not starting the Cham
People, can we try and straighten out the rumor mill
By Gianfranco | June 1st, 2007I would like to a minute to address the rampant Rossoneri rumor mill that has spun endlessly this week. A lot of present and even former players have been heating up the Milan moves this week: Gilardino: Is rumored to be on the move to either Juve or
Where you At, Gila?
By Martha | May 31st, 2007Poor Alberto Gilardino. First he's left on the bench in favor of Super Pippo in the Champions League Final, then he goes in for surgery and misses out on key Azzurri matches, and now he doesn't even know if he'll be in Milan next year. With all the end

A note to Sheva
By Gianfranco | May 24th, 2007Apperenlty your wife said she is ready to go back to her home in Italy, virtually sealing your return to Milan. If a year ago you had told your lovely wife to shut up when she said she wanted out of Milan none of us would be in this mess and you would ha
And Today in Non-Champions League News: Transfers Rumors (And a Few Other Things)
By Martha | May 23rd, 2007•The killjoys at Milan are insisting they've had no talks (Outside, one assumes, of "Hey Andriy. Jose is an asshole. Good-looking bastard though, isn't he?") with long-lost striker Andriy Shevchenko. This despite The Sun's recent assurances that the clu
Sheva Rumors, Installment #19
By Martha | May 22nd, 2007Yesterday, the press were full of breathless second-hand reports -- from former Milan teammate Kakha Kaladze -- of Andriy Shevchenko's misery at Chelsea. Though he's been hiding his distress incredibly well from the public (*cough*), Sheva has evidently b
Catania Wrap Up
By Gianfranco | May 14th, 2007I was bit uneasy with the lineup that Ancelotti (fresh hair cut and all) had put on the field for this game. I was shocked a to see that Maldini was given the nod to start, but as I thought about it I realized that Carlito was a genius. Giving Maldini t

By Martha | May 4th, 2007It's been many terrible, lonely months since we've heard a story about Andriy Shevchenko's desperation to flee his alleged misery in London for the comforts of Milan. So long, in fact, that it was getting to the alarming point where we started to think he
