It still hurts
By: Penny |It seems that the trouble is a thigh strain in Inzaghi’s left leg. He’s been given a couple of days off to rest it, and so he will no doubt be at home, lying on the settee, watching old episodes of Rosemary and Thyme, because that’s what everyone does when they are off [...]
Dolore
By: Penny | Brief update on the old man. Inzaghi missed last nights low scoring friendly against Cremonese because he has a pain in his leg, his left leg. He has been training in the gym with Maldini but didn’t train at all today.
It’s nothing to worry about, the gazetta promised, it’s just [...]
La Famiglia Inzaghi
By: Penny |So, pre season has started, with Inzaghi at Milanello, apparently scoring hat tricks. Little Inzaghi has been less fortunate, but more about his problems later. I thought it might be helpful to write a little background information on the brothers, just to put them in perspective, sweet little bourgeois boys that they are.
Back in harness
By: Penny |Milan, including Inzaghi, were back in training yesterday. Money being so tight there was no pleasant sojourn by the seaside in the manner of Real Madrid. Instead, there was a general gathering at Milanello and a presentation of the reason why money is so tight, Ronaldinho, in an outfit that must have given [...]
Transfer News
By: Penny |as it affects our hero. “Bestest friend in football except my brother Simone” Christian Vieri is safely ensconced at Atalanta, despite the howling protests of the fans. Since they are the same ones who kicked their way through a perspex screen in an attempt to get at their players and convince them of [...]
Unlike Pippo
By: Penny | this blog is known for its altruism, so in response to overwhelming public demand, here are five of Pippo’s Champions League goals for Milan, in no particular order.
We begin with a goal which, officially, isn’t even Inzaghi’s, against Ajax in 2003. It was actually given to Tomasson, as the last player to touch [...]
Il fratellino
By: Penny |Atalanta have released Simone Inzaghi, for good behaviour, presumably, and he will be returning to Rome. It’s still not clear exactly what the position is about his contract, which, by my reckoning, should have ended last month. He is going in ritiro with Lazio, following that rather odd habit Italian teams [...]
Long in the tooth
By: Penny |I sometimes wonder what Milan do to their players to keep them so young. It’s not just Maldini, still frolicking around the San Siro in his dotage, have you ever seen Albertini and Leonardo? They look unnervingly similar to the way they did when they were playing, it’s a bit scary to [...]
Pawing the ground
By: Penny |He may be on holiday still, but Inzaghi has turned his mind to the fact that the new season starts for Milan in about a fortnight. He is apparently blissfully unaware of Jose Mourinho and his bizarre supermarket based sound bites, lucky man, but he thinks that the derby will be interesting, and that [...]
Back to School, and Vieri watch
By: Penny |So Milan reconvene on 16th July, with friendlies starting on 26 July and running all the way through August.
