I should probably start calling these post mortem instead of post match. My god… This isn’t going to be a long one. The wheels have fallen off or are just barely hanging on, either way things do not look good. The regression has been something spectacular and very likely irreversible this season. I’ve been optimistic […]

With the international break ending in a couple of days for Serie A, I thought now would be a good time to start looking at the run out for the rest of the season. There’s only 9 league games left, folks, and there is a pile up of teams battling for 4th and this will

Are you getting used to this script? I’m starting to…concede first, usually the opponent scoring on their first or second shot of the game, halftime subs, claw back 1 or all 3 points. This hasn’t just been the last 2 games either, but it’s something Milan has been better than everyone else in Serie A

In a not at all guaranteed comeback, Milan keeps their outside chance at the top 4 on life support, their Europa hopes alive, and maybe just maybe help Conceição survive to the summer. But

Before we dive into the match and what to expect, just a few words on Michael Lisi’s retirement. Mike let me know over a month ago he was ready to step away, sharing many of the same things he shared in his farewell post. The part of his post that got to me the most

Well. In just under 2 weeks everything worth playing for has evaporated. What a whirlwind. Milan went from having a very beatable opponent in Champions League and advancing – itself a consolation prize after choking vs Dinamo Zagreb and not advancing straight to the round of 16 – and having a game in hand in
