It is difficult to quantify the levels of douchebaggery at Milan
this season. But that didn’t stop me from trying. Ahead of our final match of the season, I wanted to put some stats
together for you to demonstrate some of the atrocities fans have endured at the
hands of our beloved club this season. Even though numbers do not truly do
justice to our pain, it helps me to see that my pain was not imagined. Where
actual stats were not available, I have offered my best guesstimate, which is
not a guarantee of accuracy or even sanity. I give to you Milan’s Douchebaggery
