    [Coppa Italia] Milan 1-2 JUVENTUS (8-Feb-2012) SF

    'Healthy rivalries' are shit anyway. Much better when there is some real hatred and nastiness involved.

    [Coppa Italia] Milan 1-2 JUVENTUS (8-Feb-2012) SF

    FA Cup winners will get ~£3.4m, having gone through six rounds. I'd be surprised if the prize for winning the Coppa Italia is half that, given that there are fewer rounds and it isn't as prestigious a competition, so the sponsorship deal probably isn't worth as much.

    There will be, but it won't be a significant amount.

    [Coppa Italia] Milan 1-2 JUVENTUS (8-Feb-2012) SF

    Good result. Can't say too much about the performance, as I only had half an eye on the game. So feel free to tell me if I'm completely off the mark. Looked quite open - certainly more open than I'd have allowed the game to be. Still, Juve being the more athletic team looked more capable of...

    So find a gameplan that suits the players available. Milan were much better last season. They were sensible and compact and relied on their forwards to get goals, while keeping men behind the ball and being really secure defensively. Milan's more open game this season makes them look really...

    [Coppa Italia] Milan 1-2 JUVENTUS (8-Feb-2012) SF

    These are the sort of goals I believe Milan plan to score: Milan's plan is to pin a team back and then play a ball for a player - running from deep - in behind the defence, who puts it across the goal for another runner or shoots himself. That's not an unreasonable gameplan for Milan given...
