Chievo 0, Milan 0: Okay Then

I struggled to find words for this match. Milan weren’t terrible, but there wasn’t much that was good, either. Mainly, we were outplayed by 16th place Chievo, so don’t expect wins against any of the teams that are above 16th. By this point in the season, I should see something resembling football, even from this squad. Two highlights for me: Honda’s crossbar assault in the 48th and De Jong’s killer save in the 67th. Bocchetti had a promising match, Bonera is losing his fullback superpowers. On the downside, De Jong is injured again. But on the upside, Montolivo is injured again, so that’s kind of a wash. Except for the Muntari and Essien red alerts. But yeah, other than a clean sheet, another step backwards. Okay then.

Chievo-Milan Preview: To Verona, With Love

Outside of Italy, most people probably associate Verona with the infamous star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, as the city is the setting for Shakespeare’s epic love story. But for me, the only thing I can relate to as our team heads to Verona this weekend to play Chievo is that I may want to take my own life if we come back empty-handed. I know it’s not realistic after all we’ve been through this season, but I need a draw or a win from this match if I am to retain what little of my sanity that remains. So I send our players to Verona, with love… and a possibility that my love for Milan may end quite tragically.

Somebody That I Used To Know

Last year things were so dire that many of us fans insisted that we did not want Europe this year, hoping that we could take this year and focus on Serie A and rebuild. But neither of those things are happening, instead we are being handed more lame excuses and more turnover in the squad. So it is that much more painful midweek to watch the singular Italian club left in the Champions League compete, a team that has dominated Italy but never been a force in Europe. Meanwhile, as seven times champions of Europe, Milan struggle to stay top ten in a very weakened Italy and watch European competition like a homeless person watching a TV through a window. Just like somebody that I used to know.

Milan 2, Cesena 0: Think Again

So I wake up at 5am to see that we are playing a 4-3-1-2 without our best trequartista for some reason. This is not encouraging. Nevertheless, my heart requires me to watch the game. And since kickoff was at 6am on a very busy day for me, you get a treat: my notes instead of a review. Think again. You’re welcome.

The official opening goal goes to Jack!

Milan-Cesena Preview: Under the Sea

With the results so far this season, injuries, the cumulative weight of having two CEOs, three coaches in two seasons, and 51 players out and 46 players in these past two and a half years it’s kind of like Milan is drowning. How appropriate then that we should be facing the seahorses tomorrow. And while Cesena are facing potential relegation with only 16 points, they have to be buoyed up by the prospect of getting at least a point from Milan at the San Siro. So look to this match to be played as if it were under the sea.

Mattia Destro: The Right Man For Milan?

The most significant signing of the recent transfer window would have to be Mattia Destro, at least from a financial standpoint. If reports ahead of his loan deal are correct, his contract was not just for the six month loan deal from Roma, but also for the next four years, which would imply that Milan agreed to the €16m transfer fee for his outright purchase. But despite being an exciting young player with eight caps for the Italian national team already at the age of 23 and representing Italy at almost every age level from U16 on, the question still remains: Is Destro the right man for Milan?

Podcast: Train Wreck

After waking up at an ungodly hour to watch the Empoli game, my spirits were nearly at an all time low having watched such a terrible performance. The weight of years of douchebaggery just came crashing down on me with the injuries, suspensions and poor play from that match just the punctuation mark. The only plausible comparison I could conjure for where Milan is headed was a train wreck. But I’m not jumping off of this train anytime soon. It may hurt, and we may see the inevitable doom, but it’s still my Milan and I’m going to see it through.

Milan 1, Empoli 1: You Had One Job, Milan

This match kicked off at 3:30am for me. I have had very little sleep. But one doesn’t need to have much sleep to see how poorly the team played, even at that hour. With new injury worries, the result is the least of my concerns. I am more concerned as to what has happened to my team. You had one job, Milan.

I was fine with the goal, actually. Would be fine for him to score more, actually
