By: Martha | Comments 8 Comments

Things are incredibly quiet today. Where are the Shocking!Transfers? And what was Amauri’s agent doing while his client was saying he wouldn’t move this winter? Apparently Amauri has learned less than we thought about teasing.

Milan v Juventus: Honors Even

By: Martha | Comments 5 Comments

I suppose Milan supporters will take some heart from this match — they’ve once again failed to score at home, true, but after the first 15 minutes they were more or less the equals of a team that at this point is undeniably one of the best in Serie A. Sure, it’s only a point […]
