It’s the last matchday of the season. This is always bittersweet even in down or disappointing years because I always prefer to have a Milan match to watch on the weekend (and midweek in Europe you underachieving bastards!). But these last few seasons have been EXTREMELY disappointing for many reasons, many I’ve shared previously in […]

All of my biggest worries when Allegri was announced is coming true. Yes, I know most of us hate how he approaches the game, a style of football that is only barely tolerable if you’re winning, but Milan is going through the very late-season collapse I brought up numerous times in the summer, a collapse

Milan are still fighting for a top 4 finish and a win today would go a long way towards securing that goal. But, a testy challenge awaits, as Milan travel to Sassuolo for a day fixture, a place where they’ve had mixed success over the last 10 or so years. Can Milan get it done

A new post?! Say what?! Yes, it’s true. The second half of the season for me personally has been very busy but there is a very real aspect to this that I don’t enjoy writing for Allegri-coached teams. This has made motivation hard when Milan isn’t a fun watch or getting results AND time is

Boy, talk about shifting the goal posts. A few weeks back we had pipe dreams of a Scudetto and now we’re all looking over our shoulder at Como and Juventus and hopefully NOT falling out of the top 4 in the league. Crunch time is and has been here and Milan have 3 wins in

Returning to action after the disappointing international break (for Italy at least!), we get this heavyweight fight between 2nd place Milan and 3rd place Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, two teams separated by just a point. Also important, both teams are 9 and 10 points back, respectively, of 1st place Inter after they

I’m on the verge of just going through the motions. I mean, it feels like that’s what Allegri is doing. Ok, maybe that’s not entirely true but the fact that he keeps rolling out the same formation and continues to play his two best attackers out of position is mindboggling. What’s it going to take

On the heels of Milan’s huge win over league leaders and biter rivals, Inter, Milan have to travel to the Stadio Olimpico to take on Lazio. I for one am always worried about a letdown after a big win. Throw in that Milan is trying to win their third in a row for the second

We just sprung forward with our clocks yesterday for daylight savings time here in the US, can Milan spring forward in the table and maybe, just maybe, make a run at the Scudetto? Well, they have a chance to take a major step forward if they can manage to bring home all 3 points today
