Immediately
following the final game of the season, Milan’s other Triple Threat got
together to review the season. With all of the expertise and wisdom of the
average fan, they rate the players and Allegri with passion and opinion before
reason. It’s double the guests and double the length and at least half of the
credibility that you have come to expect from Milan Obsession.

Siena 1, Milan 2: A Numbers Game
The most important number we take from this game, of course,
is THREE. Milan finish number THREE in Serie A, which means we can
qualify for the Champions League for next season, something we’ll tackle
probably starting in late August. But there were lots of numbers in this game
that mattered. (And a few key people, too.) It was not Milan’s finest hour, but
in the end, it was our hour. And even if we were incredibly lucky, it just
proves that karma isn’t always what they say she is.

Siena vs. Milan: Allegri’s Last Stand?
This post should be about a football match, but instead, the
focus has turned sharply to one man. Yesterday, according to multiple sources,
Berlusconi said that Allegri was going to Roma, and that it would be announced
following the game on Sunday. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that he said it
jokingly. But is it a joke? Or is it just another slap in the face to a man who
has been criticized and confirmed all year long? It is well known that the
outcome of this match, and thus our season could affect his future, so if it is
true, it will not come as a surprise, either. But the crime is that once again,
Berlusconi has taken precious focus away from the team and the game. What a
shame if it really is to be Allegri’s last stand.

Massimiliano Allegri: The Man Behind the Legend
Stubborn. Determined. Effective?
These are three words that perhaps best describe the enigma that is Massimiliano
Allegri. Love him or hate him, on paper, he is incredibly successful. People
can argue whether or not those accomplishments are truly his, or perhaps he has
simply been in the right place at the right time. But either way, he is at
least part genius for being poised for such success. And geniuses are not
always popular. Despite having one more year on his contract as manager of AC
Milan, Sunday’s match will be key to determine whether or not he will stay on
for one more year, or perhaps even be offered an extension. Ahead of this
crucial fixture, here is a little more background on the life and character of
this polarizing man.

Poll: Should He Stay or Should He Go?
Much has been spoken all year about Massimiliano Allegri and
his tenure at AC Milan. Many calling for him to be sacked, others saying to
trust in him, still others saying there simply wasn’t a better option at this
point. And while his ultimate judgment for this season seems to be coming at
the final whistle of the final match of this season, I would like to raise a
concern that no one else seems to be making: the tenure of Milanello, the red
devil mascot for Milan.

Milan 0, Roma 0: Teams Behaving Badly
Here I thought the new jerseys would be the most distracting
thing about this match. But this match had very little to do with football and
more to do with distractions. Racist chants, laser pointers, and sending offs
ruled the match at the end of the day. The goalless draw was simply not enough
to secure Champions League qualification
yet, leaving us in an even more precarious position after the match than when
it kicked off. I wonder what these boys’ mothers think of their performances
today?

Milan-Roma Preview: Gold Rush
This preview was meant to be about what an important match
this is for us. How three points will give us Champions League qualification
for next year, and the prestige and money that goes along with it. How Roma
interrupted our run of form in December with a resounding
4-2 defeat, and why they might try to repeat that performance on Sunday at
the San Siro. But all of that pales in comparison to the more important issue
that has dominated the thoughts and fears of Milan fans worldwide since
yesterday: what our players will be wearing.

Pescara 0, Milan 4: Are We There Yet?
I never like routs. Except when my team are teetering on the
verge of losing their Champions League qualification. Then I love them. Just so
long as they are in my team’s favor. Which this was. So I loved this game. With
so much pressure coming down to the final stretch, four unanswered goals will
be better than Ambien to help me sleep tonight.
