Well, Milan have turned it around in the last month. Beckham is coming back :confused:

. Hopefully they can keep it going. Madrid at the San Siro will be a huge test to see if it was a hot spell or if they are actually a decent team.

Inter - Palermo game was a thriller. Inter leading 4-0, then Palermo made it 4-3. The game ended 5-3.

aside from Inter/Milan being untouchable at the top, the middle of the pack teams are no joke this year in Serie A.

Napoli has yet to lose a league game under their new coach Mazzari, Juve is free-falling, Fiorentina and Palermo are no joke, Roma may be back to being one of the top teams in Italy, and Cagliari, Bari, and Parma are more than impressive. The race for Europe is going to be exciting.

Also, Lippi visited Nesta today to hear his take on being a part of the world cup team, despite having retired.

looking at the hopelessness in earlier comments, Leonardo did an admirable job to turn Milan around. ditto for Ranieri.

that is a fact. A big part of it has to do with the resurgence of Ronaldinho

Julio Cesar brilliant again

Milan couldn't have caught Inter in better situation but couldn't get it done. still lacking a game changer in midfield despite Dinho's improvement.

Mutu is an idiot. He has to pay a crazy amount of money to Chelsea, and now this? He may go bankrupt.

This is a very different case, as the substance sibutramine has virtually no potential for abuse and is used to combat obesity.

It was suspended in the EU and UK less than a week ago amid fears it increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

“This is a substance prescribed to combat hunger. It’s anomalous that this positivity has been noted, because I don’t see the need,” commented sports medic Piero Volpi on Sky Sport Italia.

He still risks a 1 -4 year ban for it.

yeah, sucks for fiorentina who were showing signs of greatness this season. May be a blessing in disguise for Jovetic if he can stay healthy.

Lol. It's reported that his mother gave him those pills.

No way he was going to pay that regardless.

haha that got him a 3 game ban. Italy's never seen anything quite like him

Italy is too boring for him anyways, had he been there at a time when Juve and Milan were fighting tooth and nail for European cups he's have enjoyed it.

He fits the English game and the media perfectly.
