Week 4 of Serie A sees Rafa’s Partenopei travel to San Siro to tackle us in a game most Milanisti understandably have trepidations about. I’m one of such, of course, because if our tedious style of play, uninspiring manager, and eternal injury list is not enough to put the fear of God in you then I do not know what will.
Milan come into this game on the back of a 2-0 win over Celtic in the CL. Celtic are supposed to have played us off the park for large parts of the game but the end result is that they lost. So while everyone is going off spouting how they deserved more and all that, nobody is going to remember that in a year’s time, only that they lost. I remember several games against provincial sides where Milan huffed and puffed and eventually lost, and I don’t remember anyone saying we deserved more, so this eternal fawning over Celtic really counts for nothing; and whilst I’m certainly concerned about how a technically limited Scottish team played us off the park, I could live without the rest of the world pretending they played like Barcelona and lost, because they didn’t.
