In just a few hours the transfer window is going to open across Europe. What was once a very exciting time for Milan fans with the additions of players like Weah, Baggio, Sheva, and Rui Costa, has become a nerve wracking nail biting few months that have seen us add poor players like Oliviera. [...]

TANTI AUGURI PAOLO!! 40!

It is games like today’s that breed superstars, not the media, and certainly not the fans. When the stage is a set for a big game the best of the best shine, it goes beyond the players, and beyond the coach, because when a team is hungry every last person pushes to the end.

The dawn is usually preceded by the darkest hour, and in the case of Euro 2008 there is no better description for The Don and his Azzurri. The first glimmer of hope came, for me at least, when Buffon saved Mutu’s PK about a week ago, giving Italy a chance to advance, albeit with [...]
