Thursday Milan Musings
By: Gianfranco |So what is usually a boring international break has turned into quite a eventful Wednesday. As the entire World discussed France, Ireland, and replay, we can discuss Milan but not before I say peace regarding replay in football. Is it a good idea? Sure it is, but practically says otherwise. Let’s stop [...]
Lazio 1 Milan 2
By: Gianfranco |Following the draw against Napoli I have to admit that it is hard to feel a rush of optimism with a two goal lead. The most unnerving part of the game is the patches of sloppy play that follow segments of dominance in passing and possession. It is almost like a sudden case [...]
Milan 1 Madrid 1, Recap
By: Gianfranco |Not going to go deep into this recap, frankly because the match was draining and nervy for me and maybe for some of you as well. Feel free to recall the previous post if you missed the match as I touch on few different points here.

I blame the International break frankly, it is in [...]
Milan 0 – Inter 4
By: Gianfranco |I don’t even really know where to start here.

If you want me to put a positive spin on this, or have some optimism, it is not going [...]

Trofeo Berlusconi: Can We Get Something Right?
By: Gianfranco |Tonight it’s Juventus for the second time in 4 days. Friday it wasn’t pretty, and Juve looks poised to make a legit run at the scudetto, while Milan are looking more and more incapable of anything. Judge now? Judge later? It doesn’t really matter because we are seeing now is not good, and [...]
