The time on the official site is at 7:30pm so I can only assume that it's 7:30pm CET.

My only hope is that no one gets injured in this meaningless friendly

Sometimes I think Fillipo Simone is the more refined, intelligent, Milanfan version of myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) couldn’t agree more. Inzaghi is now “officially” finished because the oxygen thief that is Allegri begrudgingly let him play a whole half of a friendly in which he didn’t score.

Add this to further intellectually challenged comments about his “decline in speed” (like he had any to begin with) and fitness (comprehensively judged from not seeing him all season) and we have the most dispassionate assessment of his ability to contribute further to our cause. Which is unanimously agreed to be 0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Inzaghi is old. I won’t for a minute suggest that he can OR should play ahead of ANY of our starting three strikers. However his MIND is his greatest asset. With a positional sense like his, Pato would be already in double digits –injuries and form issues or not. Speed isn’t everything for a striker. The first step is the idea of where to go. The second step is how to proceed. Inzaghi’s positional intelligence is unparalleled……but of course the fitness junkie that happens to Coach Cagliari B doesn’t see this, just like he didn’t see Pirlo’s or Ronaldinho’s assets.


In the exact opposite to Inzaghi’s situation, playing El Shaarawy elicits praise from the sole proprietor of coaching acumen that is Allegri leading to people’s “renewed” faith in a player who was viewed as one of the best young talents in Italy and has done nothing but impress when he has come on. No one bothers commenting on how he SHOULD have gotten more playing time in situations where even the deceased Ray Charles could have seen opportunities for him to get playing time.
