Antonio Cassano’s operation on Friday was, thankfully, a success. Now, the long road to recovery starts. But, for Milan and Italy’s sake, lets hope it is not too long. The doctor who performed the operation, Nereo Bresolin, responded reassuringly when asked about the operation, saying, “Absolutely (it has been a success). I’ve directly followed the [...]
The Rossoneri were held tonight against BATE Borisov away from home in Minsk but despite the disappointment still managed to secure qualification to the next phase. During the first half which the Italians dominated Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring with a nicely taken goal for the red and blacks in the 22nd minute. The second half had [...]
As we get excited about Milan’s face-off with Barcelona try-hards AS Roma – who will need to try much harder – it is interesting to note that after eight matches played we have two midfielders leading our team’s scoring charts; Antonio Nocerino and Kevin Prince Boateng. If anyone made a bet that this would be [...]
Italy finished off their qualifying campaign for Euro 2012 in fine fashion as they defeated Northern Ireland 3-0 with Antonio Cassano again the star. A superb volley for his first strike the Milan striker got his brace after a neat finish past the helpless Maik Taylor. His performance for the Azzurri reinforced one thing: this [...]
It has not been a good season for Pippo Inzaghi. The legendary striker has seen little playing time in the Serie A while in the Champions League he has not played at all after being excluded from the squad altogether. He may be 38 years old, but, Pippo still retains that uncanny knack he has [...]

It was a match that highlighted nearly everything that is wrong with this current Milan side. Too old, too slow, too tactically rigid, zero creativity, Ibra-dependent, Nesta-dependent, did I miss any. Oh yes, [...]
Milan’s first win of the season came at a crucial time. The 1-0 result against Cesena will give the team an important boost of confidence ahead of an important and trying week for the team. On Wednesday the seven-time European champions will entertain Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen. It is a match Milan should win, though [...]
Talk of crisis has avoided Milan despite the club sitting in a lowly 16th position. This is because rather than fingers being pointed at the players or coach Max Allegri for the Champions’ poor start to the campaign, the significant injury crisis has been viewed as the main reason why Milan have so far failed [...]
Milan entered this new season as clear favourites to retain the Scudetto they won back in May. Yet, after three matches played in total, two in the Serie A and one in the Champions League, things have not gone quite to plan. The Italian champions are still without a win in the new campaign after [...]
Earlier this summer Milan admitted that they had spotted their Mr. X, he was a “1.83m tall, blue and has thick haired midfielder”. This vague description sparked many rumours of players that would fit this profile, from Kaka to Alex Witsel. In the end, however, the tale of the mysterious Mr. X proved a great [...]
