Leonardo is the not the problem

Following Milan’s unfortunate loss to Mancester United in the Champions League, there have been reports in Italy that Berlusconi is lining up a replacement for the Brazilian tactician with Marco van Basten and Marcello Lippi been hinted as possible candidates. The problem, however, is that Leonardo is not the one to blame and Berlusconi is [...]

Huntelaar and Pato in, Pirlo up and Seedorf out for United

For the upcoming game against Manchester United, Leonardo has a couple of important decisions to make. Firstly, he has to decide who is to play up front in the central striking role, should it be Borriello or Huntelaar? Alongside whoever he chooses in this role, Leo needs to decide who will play in the wide [...]

Milan’s season hopes rest on Ronaldinho

To get straight to the point, Milan need Ronaldinho back in form by this weekend and in particular by next Tuesday if Milan’s season is to not end up being a huge disappointment. If Ronaldinho does not get back into his smiling groove, then Milan will struggle to beat Udinese, a game they must win, [...]

Kaka, R80, Bologna and more

When Kaka was sold to Real Madrid many a Milan fan, myself included, wept. For Kaka was undoubtedly a Milan hero and one of the best if not the best player Milan have ever had. Kaka single handedly helped us to glory in the 2007 Champions League final whilst he also helped us to become [...]

What we learnt from the Milan derby

Last weekend’s humiliation at the hands of Inter taught us many things. Ultimately, it showed us that Milan are far from the finished product despite what previous performances this year may have indicated. But, most of us knew this already and even though the team has done magnificently so far this season, much due to [...]

Huntelaar, Coppa loss and more Inter drivel

Huntelaar needs to go on loan
It appears like Huntelaar will stay on at Milan as the transfer window approaches its close in a couple of days. Seeing that if Huntelaar were to leave it would most likely have been on loan, I fear that the decision for Huntelaar to stay in Milan may be the [...]

Calciopoli: Who was really responsible?

I know it may seem very typical and perhaps even jealous that I, as a Milan fan, hate the fact that Inter now dominate Serie A (and I do and very much so). And that being this way, I am just looking for excuses like Calciopoli to explain their dominance.
Aside from my obvious red and [...]

Calciopoli is the ONLY reason Inter dominate

It is almost four years now since Calciopoli, the scandal that rocked Italian football and that had harsh repercussions for both Milan and Juve whilst Fiorentina and Lazio were also penalised. Since the scandal, Inter has dominated Serie A and this is not only just a mere coincidence. Rather, Calciopoli is the ONLY reason that [...]

Transfer Talk: Part 2

In judging what players should leave the club very much depends on the players that arrive. With only Beckham (who arrives only on loan) and Adiyiah being added to the squad so far, it is hard to see any of our current players being forced out as a result.
As has been the case for [...]

Transfer Talk: Part 1

We are now well into the January transfer window and the rumours are spreading fast and far. I thought it appropriate to look at some of the major transfer rumours surrounding the Milanello. In Part 1, I look at the rumours about players coming in. In Part 2 I will look at the rumours about [...]
