Maldini Monday

By: Gianfranco | Comments 13 Comments

Last week we spent a bit of time talking about a full length feature film chronicling the life of Il Capitano. The film is called Paolo Maldini Il Film and it is one of the greatest two hours of calico footage I have ever seen. It takes you through Maldini’s career both internationally [...]

Friday Milan Musings, for my pal Ro

By: Gianfranco | Comments 29 Comments

I did not want Ro to go into withdrawals but even bloggers need a break. It is not all Cristal and Playboy Bunnies over here, and until you guys start paying me I have to go to work. Ok, Ok, enough of my whining, onto the good stuff.
-Let us take a sneak peek [...]

Maldini Monday

By: Gianfranco | Comments 13 Comments

For the second Maldini Monday I want to show one of my favorite commercials of all time. A Nike commercial for Euro 96 featured Il Capitano in grand fashion, starting a counter attack against the squad of evil with a trademark slide tackle and a cross out of the back.
Enjoy and have a fantastic [...]

Inter 2 – Milan 1

By: Gianfranco | Comments 14 Comments

Hang 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 League shots.
Did Milan deserve to win today? Not all that [...]

Saturday Afternoon Hangover

By: Gianfranco | Comments 11 Comments

Well it’s that time of year again, the Derby della Madonnina. This year the Derby has extra special meaning even though Mancini claims that he feels no rivalry with Good Guys of Milan. This is the same Mancini who belittled the Rossoneri’s Champions Cup win, which Inter have never tasted, and then further [...]

Milan 1 – Catania 2

By: Gianfranco | Comments 12 Comments

Dear Ricky Kaka:
Your brother sucks, you have worked wonders for us in the front, but in your brother’s small chance in the winning eleven he gave up two goals, and made a ton of gaffers. If you were not in top form, and a huge piece of the Milan puzzle, as of late, he [...]

Tuesday Milan Musings

By: Gianfranco | Comments 15 Comments

I 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, fresh off his Fifa World Club Victory.
Here [...]

Maldini Monday

By: Gianfranco | Comments 17 Comments

Well the day that most of us have been dreading has finally come, we all knew it was on its way but you tend to worry about it when it actually happens. On the brightside it is going to be awhile and until then we get to enjoy Il Capitano in both Seria A [...]

Boca Juniors 2 – AC Milan 4, CAMPIONI!

By: Gianfranco | Comments 20 Comments

Boun Giorno Milanisti!

Three changes for Carletto today from the semi’s.
Dida, Bonera,Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini
Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambro, Seedorf, Kaka
Pippo
Just as suspected Maldini has started at the fabled wingback spot, to me this means that Kaladze will work harder to his immediate left so that Maldini can press. Nesta will have to do more as well, Bonera [...]

Urawa Reds v. Milan, Game Recap

By: Gianfranco | Comments 6 Comments

After 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 began replaying Milan’s [...]
