    The State of Milan

    The State of Milan

    While people have been assessing the state of things, I asked longtime guest of the podcast Pete to return and discuss the current state of Milan. On the State of Pioli, we also had a rebuttal from Katie Britt of Alabama (bet y'all didn't know she was a Milan fan.) But mostly, we discussed the recent Milan matches, Pioli's tenuous position at the club, the possibility of summer transfers and even the latest scandal to hit Milan (or at least what the media wants us to think is a scandal.)
     
    On this Episode: 
    • The State of Pioli
    • Katie Britt's rebuttal to the State of Pioli
    • Verona-Milan match
    • Slavia-Praha match
    • Europa League Draw
    • Potential summer exits
    • Offices at Casa Milan raided
    Thanks to Pete for joining me once again for a great discussion on the current state of Milan. You can follow him on Twitter @pdacquaviva for more insights on Milan.

    Can Milan's Injury Crisis Be Solved?

    Can Milan's Injury Crisis Be Solved?

    The catastrophic injury crisis at the club right now is so severe that I actually recorded a podcast about it. And I honestly don't know which of those things is more shocking or distressing. However, I did not take my task lightly, I wanted to talk to someone with some expertise. So I invited David back, who is a lifelong Milan fan, but is also a brilliant physiotherapist by trade. Longtime podcast listeners will remember him well, but will also appreciate his knowledge about this specific conversation as we discuss injuries, Pioli and his staff, current management, the return of Ibrahimovi·, and more. On this Episode:  · Injuries, potential causes, and solutions · Pioli and the Sassuolo curse · Can the injury crisis be solved? · Current management · The return of Ibrahimovi·   David cited a report by Jan Ekstrand and UEFA on hamstring injuries, with input from the chief medical officers from 15 different Champions League clubs, if you would like to read it, you can find it here. If you are interested in the article we discussed from Milan News about fear of injuries, you can find it in Italian here.  Thank you again to David for sharing his wisdom, expertise and his passion for Milan. Follow him on Twitter @DavidLSwan for more brilliance. Connect with Elaine on social media @milanobsession on Twitter or themilanobsession on Instagram or now themilanobsession on Threads

Fun to hear from fans

I have enjoyed listening to fans and and getting recaps on the games. I feel like the host has pretty solid grasp of games and tactics, and while I don’t always agree, appreciate the alternative viewpoint as such. After reading some of the reviews, I’m not sure why tweets should play into a podcast review. Also, why in the world would a hosts gender or personal life result in poor rating on a podcast. Proof, I guess, that keyboard warriors like to hide behind their anonymity and troll people who are doing something they do not have the courage to do themselves... Keep the podcasts rolling....

The Absolute Worst

Just. The. Worst.

I would normally give constructive criticism, but it’s really pointless in this case. No amount of constructive criticism can salvage this garbage.
