Happy New Year to Milanisti everywhere! After more than one
year of angst, massive changes, surprise successes and devastating
disappointments, the new year often resets our jaded and weary hearts with at
least a small modicum of hope. And then Milan play again.

| Happy New Year! |
So since we don’t play again until Saturday, I thought I’d
make a list of random things I hope for this year for Milan. Feel free to do
the same in the comment section if you like. And remember, this only lasts
until Saturday, after that, we burn this list with the vengeance of a betrayed
lover and wallow in our self pity once again. Until then, Happy New Year!!
1) Conti will come back sooner than planned, faster, stronger,
and maybe with super powers
2) Gattuso will not slap, punch, or strangle any staff,
players or opponents
3) Yonghong Li will turn out to be a philanthropist, having
secretly inherited a fortune that has not been heretofore disclosed so that he
may continue to help his myriad charities, including Milan
4) With that new information, UEFA will agree to our
voluntary agreement and allow us five years immunity to FFP sanctions so that
we can rebuild our club
5) The Curva will stop abusing the brothers Donnarumma, make
peace with Raiola, and give up their criminal and political ways in lieu of
spending time serving at soup kitchens and children’s hospitals
6) Kalinic will be sold to Sevilla for obvious reasons
7) With FFP immunity, Milan will invest in three World Class
players in January and three more in the summer
8) Montolivo will retire so he has time to chase his daughter’s
hats and such
9) Ancelotti will be visited by three ghosts: The ghosts of
Milan past, present, and future, and will change his mind and come to coach
Milan for free, keeping Gattuso on as the team’s bulldog.
10) Milan will go on an unprecedented run while their
opponents drop points, and will qualify for the Champions League… just barely.
