Ancelotti's Honesty Is So Refreshing

Well, I had to check a couple of times that I'd read the paper right on Sunday morning such was the surprise that I viewed Carlo Ancelotti's comments about Chelsea's shock defeat at the D.W Stadium.

Nothing surprising in that in itself, would we expect the any of […]

Is John Terry Really Going To Join Manchester City?

The rumours first started in January that Manchester City were interested in landing John Terry, but nothing seemed too concrete and I, perhaps along with a lot of people, just dismissed it as paper talk.  Why on earth would Terry leave the Blues to take a risk on Manchester City.

However, there is still a strong possibility of this and we expect to find out this week.  Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani confirmed last week that the club will make a statement on Ancelotti's future this coming monday, […]

Is Carlo Ancelotti Leading Chelsea Or A.C. Milan A Merry Dance?

When Guus Hiddink stepped into the breach after a heartfelt plea from Roman Abrahamovich, the only definite thing we knew was that Hiddink would only be there until the end of the season. Hiddink has stuck to his line of response throughout his time at Stamford Bridge, politely but firmly dealing with the increasingly banal […]

AC Milan's Prodigal Son Returns

Serie A Talk readers have probably noticed the headline change but I've changed more than that. After some deliberation I trashed the first post on 'Shevchenko's Triumphant Return' as Andriy hasn't been triumphant since leaving Milan and it looked likely he wasn't going to find an opening to return or showed a desire to do so […]
