If it's something to do with sport, I'm there. Aspiring journalist.

Personally, I like the guy and what he has done with Milan. I think any coach who can coach a team to three successive top three finishes with major squad alterations is a coach worth Milan having. Sometimes don’t agree with his opinions, especially with the Manchester City game (He criticised the lack of intent but really they did quite well with the players they had). I think maybe another season or two and then I’d like a fresh manager. I was really hoping for Pep 6 months ago, but I think if Inzaghi can prove himself as a Primavera coach for a season or ideally two, he’d be great for Milan.

AC Milan's youthful future will lead the way

Thanks mate! I think the team that Milan has is good enough for UCL next season but unlikely a scudetto. Robinho should go and the Honda saga is starting to become not worth it. But CSKA are idiots if they don’t let him go now for financial compensation! 6 months aren’t worth 3.5 million euros.

Great to see Frank shaking it up and re-inventing! Who would have thought Nicky Carle could play as a deep midfielder! Fantastic work and this new brand of football, with Del Piero at the head should be really exciting and much more favourable to the type of players Sydney has!

Really want to see Sydney play against one of the big Italian teams and as a Sydney and Milan supporter, I would love to see that happen!

He is a target, that’s why he goes down. You watch any A.C. Milan game and watch how many times Balotelli goes down. He is the most fouled player in Serie A. Good players fall often because they are targeted so often.

Neymar is the next big thing

We’re experiencing an exciting Brazilian team at the moment, something we haven’t seen since the turn of the Millenium. Neymar stepped up, something I previously thought he’d been unable to do, and consequently, the team flowed through him well. Spain were out played on the day and whilst they are not the team we saw win the World Cup or Euros, they still have the ability to defeat the big teams. South America is a happening play for football and I would expect Colombia to put in a massive effort in 2014, should they qualify.

Spain's football dominance comes to an end

Mate, even I’m from the north side. We don’t need a stadium… We have Brookvale Oval!

Which code and team deserves the new Sydney Stadium?

Apart from Parramatta (which would be ideal but probably not viable) the Blacktown Stadium that was in design to replace the current Blacktown International Sportspark would be an idea but Fairfield Showground has also been suggested as a location to build a new stadium and I think that would be a great location.

Which code and team deserves the new Sydney Stadium?

Thats true but the design of the stadium was to facilitate a new Western Sydney Team, (at that time it was thought to be the Rovers). The stadium was to have a downgraded capacity of 25-26,000. Maybe Parramatta would be a better location but I would prefer a true football stadium to a shared stadium in Parramatta.

Which code and team deserves the new Sydney Stadium?

I think if you’ve visited the SCG recently, you’ll see that the area is very much being redeveloped. I think a rebuild of Parramatta Stadium would be a good option too.

Which code and team deserves the new Sydney Stadium?

I’m actually a Sydney FC supporter so safe to say there is no bias. I genuinely feel that WSW deserve and need a new stadium.

Which code and team deserves the new Sydney Stadium?

No, sorry, they completely slipped my mind. But I think you’ll find that, like Brookvale Oval, home fans enjoy the closeness to the game that spectators feel. Its very much a traditional ground as well.

Amen brother! You summed up the El Shaarawy situation nicely!

Rating AC Milan's players in the 2012/13 season

Villa in the last game proved he’s not what Barca need anymore whilst Alexis proved the opposite!

Barcelona's newest acquisition Neymar - and how to use him

I don’t think Pedro deserves to be cut over Fabregas though. Pedro has been instrumental in Barca’s season whilst Fabregas has been very average.

Neymar should not play in the middle at the expense of Messi. Lets not overate him that much!

Great squad but Blues have also named a strong squad… Should be interesting to see how we go!

QLD State of Origin 2013 team announced; expert reaction

Milan Fan, Allegri Fan. To say I was a fan of his substitutions against Pescara is an understatement. Could have brought on Gabriel, Cristante or Salamon. Even one of those I would have been happy with! But alas no. I think Allegri is right for Milan but that was a horror decision on Allegri’s part. There’s only one person I’d rather see in his position and its Prandelli. Prandelli has given such a chance to De Sciglio, Verratti, El Shaarawy and others on the Italian team despite their age, he could do it with Milan. I think if Allegri wins against Roma then doesn’t let one of the above mentioned play, he is not the right choice.

Allegri's time is over at Milan

David Moyes is quite extraordinary as a manager and the only real obvious choice to succeed Ferguson. He can now afford to make bigger signing with hopefully, the same intelligence he did at Everton. A master of the managing position, lets hope he keeps calm and makes his chance count.

Fergie’s not the only one leaving big shoes to fill

Great apart from Watmough… He really just makes too many crucial mistakes. I don’t ever feel safe when he has the ball.

Cronulla combination the key for Blues halves

I wouldn’t disagree with the selection of Merritt. Great player!

Cronulla combination the key for Blues halves

I’m actually a Gold Coast fan! My lineup may not be what is liked but I believe it is what we need.

Cronulla combination the key for Blues halves

Kelly has been playing brilliantly and deserves some for of Rep footy. Pierce has just never captivated me like he should, especially on Origin level.

Cronulla combination the key for Blues halves

Out of 15 games this season, Balotelli has played in 9, scoring in 6 of those games… Its not all Balotelli by a long stretch. Everyone has off games, we have only lost once in 2013 and that was to the league leaders so I don’t understand what all this rubbish about Milan being crap is? We drew against Napoli and Fiorentina and suddenly Allegri is the worst manager in Serie A?

Allegri is best for AC Milan

Constant played extremely well against Barcelona proving his worth against good teams, Abate I do agree lacks defensive skills but is still vital to the team. Pirlo sustained a massive injury in his last season for Milan, putting him severely out of form. He was out of contract at the end of the season anyway. Allegri is not responsible for the players coming in and leaving so I can’t see why you’re blaming Pirlo’s loss on him. And El Shaarawy was rested against Napoli and not in the line up against Parma. This caused everyone to say Allegri hated El Shaarawy. The goals have dried up for one simple reason: Balotelli. Balotelli is different to Pazzini in the way that he has great speed and dribbling ability, minimizing the need for El Shaarawy to dribble into the middle. El Shaarawy is now playing a different role to what he was and Milan are now getting a lot of goals through penalties, something El Shaarawy never takes even though he has earned a few.
