The Weirdest Thing…

By: Gianfranco | December 11th, 2007

So the other night I woke up in a hot sweat after having the strangest dream ever. Let me first prerequisite this with a few things.

1. I was not drunk, hungover, or in any form of alternate state of mind.
2. Other than watching Milan v. Juve and writing my last post I have not really spent a lot of time thinking about Milan.
3. I must really internally worry about the state of Milan at all times

So in my dream Il Capitano, Paolo Maldini, took it upon himself to become a goalie, yes a goalie! He decided that instead of retirement, which he could not bear, he would instead devote his fabolous forties to playing between the pipes. He then told me, in the dream mind you, “I can still help the Rossoneri and even though I am not as fast as I once was that I can still play better than Dida, even though I am not a goalie.” I then pleaded with him to stay a wingback or central defender, but as the captain of the team I believed him and gave him my fullest blessing.

Upon awaking in a cold sweat, scared out of my mind, I happily realized that I was only dreaming and that I had much much bigger problems to worry about. Someday Maldini will retire, not even my dreams is Dida a good goalie, and I am dreaming about Milan…well so much for my sanity.

Thursday 5AM EST Fifa Club Cup on FSC Milan vs the Reds, as you can sleep is useless to me so I will be tuning in, I will have a recap that night. Until them sweet dreams…

    maldini as keeps…haha, great. oh, bless him, im going to be so incredibly depressed at the end of this season. you’re not alone though, ive definitely had milan-related dreams before. just shows where your heart lies. :)

    holy shiznit, is the game seriously that early? why on earth did i think it was in the afternoon for some bizarre reason? ugh, gonna have to wake up at 4am, that sucks. milan, the things i do for you…in good news, our squad is back to complete strength with jankulovski.(well, you know, minus ronnie, who kind of doesn’t count these days. its nice hearing the stories of how people are trying to cheer him up though, great camaraderie). should be a good match. cheers.

    Hana Ronmie hasn’t counted since last season he’s only played like one game this year if I’m not mistaken and it was before opening season. I just can’t wait until they give him the papers and I can say “Ronaldo you’ve been served now haul your butt back to brazil.” I just don’t even know anymore the only thing I do knoe is that we need to start winning and get younger players if milan don’t make a splash like Ronnie jumping into the hotel swimming pool in Japan (ok that was kinda mean sorry) I don’t know what I’ll do.

    congrats milanisti. even though seedorf cost me $20 with the outcome of $35, its all good.

    we just had to capitalize more, hopefully thats what we’ll focus on in the final.

    i was surprised Ringhio was too quite in the first half, but could’ve been the camera wasnt pointed at him. He was gonna eat Dida alive, he went crazy on him lol. you could hear him yelling in more than one occasion. Forza Ringhiooo!! btw, he’s suppose to be the captain in my honest opinion.
