Monday miscellany

Apparently, he has scheduled a press conference for 11pm - although, I doubt that there will be much of a surprise in its content. :( I hate how this has been handled, and I ( Read more... ) -

Brief newsies, and the Pic of the Week
A few random links for your edification:

UEFA.com: Milan upset Barca's 'dream team'
Day four of the UEFA.com lookback, and it's the 1994 Final, when the Rossoneri were without Baresi and Costacurta at the back due to suspension and they went into the game with the unusual tag of being underdogs. Added to that were the comments of Johan Cruyff ahead of the game - comments that would come back to haunt him as they inspired the Milan ( Read more... ) -
