Milan v Napoli: The Title Decider?
Tomorrow Milan takes on Napoli in a game that could ultimately determine this season’s title race. It has been a long time since Napoli were challenging for the top honour in Italian football. However, it is not the first time that the Neapolitans have been major contenders alongside the Rossoneri. In 1990, a Maradona inspired [...]
Two Young Milan Stars Slowly Emerge
For a number of years Milan has been characterised as a team containing its fair share of veterans. Up until and including 2007, this was a policy that served the club well. In the years between 2004 and 2007, with a side built around a core of well matured players, Milan reached three Champions League [...]
Chievo 1 AC Milan 2: Pato the Hero in Lackluster Display
Following the midweek loss to Tottenham Milan seemed to be suffering a hangover against Chievo. The side was lacklustre throughout the whole match displaying no rhythm in their play. But, importantly, in the end all three points were collected and for a side chasing the Scudetto this is all that matters. So often since arriving [...]
Alexandre Pato or Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
It is becoming increasingly clear that Milan’s young Brazilian prodigy, Alexandre Pato, and their big Swedish talisman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic cannot play together. On numerous occasions this season when the two have played together Milan have looked short on ideas in the final third, even when Robinho has been played just in behind them. It can [...]
Joe Jordan Should Follow Gattuso’s Lead and Apologise
Who is Joe Jordan? A relic of a bygone era long forgotten is what he is. A player that represented Scotland in three world cups in which they failed all three times to make it past the group stage. Yet, in light of his confrontation with Gennaro Gattuso, the English media are comparing Jordan’s accomplishments [...]
Unlucky Milan Not Good Enough against Uninspiring Spurs
Before writing this post I briefed over an article in the English news press that reviewed the game. The English view of it is that Milan were ‘awful’ and ‘deserved to lose’ and that they did so in ‘disgraceful’ fashion. Admittedly, the scenes did get ugly last night. Gattuso was repeatedly involved in altercations with [...]
Cassano Inspires Milan Rout of Parma
Yesterday Milan got their title challenge back on track with a comprehensive four nil victory over Chievo. Clarence Seedorf got the ball rolling with his opener before Antonio Cassano opened his account for the club with his first goal. In the second half Milan closed the game out with two goals from Robinho both superbly [...]
Allegri to Blame for Milan Stumble
Milan’s grip on top spot is now under real threat. A second consecutive draw has seen Napoli climb to within three points whilst Inter are just five points behind with a game still in hand. The Rossoneri have looked short of ideas in their last two matches and as a result have struggled to create [...]
Milan’s Injury Crisis Worsens After Dismal Lazio Match
Last night Milan played host to Lazio in a clash where the Rossoneri were eager to continue on in their winning ways. It was an ill tempered match and one that from the start showed that only one team was ready to play, and that was Milan. Lazio, on the other hand, were happy to [...]
