Lets make this a Ronnonari Winner/Loser this week, shall we? With so many headlines attached to the club is seems only natural.
Big Winner:



Pippo Inzaghi - The aging striker has managed to secure a contract extension with the club, even at his age with the amount of strikers Milan has on their books. Superhuman Pippo just cannot be stopped and continues to be one of the most feared goal poachers in the game. Winning a new contract and being able to finish out his career in Milan may not be a new thing for AC to do for their players, but it will be a relief to Pippo who feared getting the axe in the face of a Milan revolution.

Big Loser:



Alessandro Nesta - This legendary center back looks set to lose out to his own body in a bid to regain enough match fitness to continue his career. With reports rife that the ageing Italian is ready to hang up the boots, it seems extremely long spells on the sidelines have ended the journey for this world-class footballer. After missing Euro 2008 and large chunks of World Cup 2006, extended runs on the sidelines have plagued Nesta. Perhaps a major turn of fortune is on the cards, but for now it seems to be all she wrote making a major dent in the Rossonari back line.

A tradition is born! This week we begin a mainstay to the Fanatic. Pretty straight forward: Someone has it tough, someone is kicking some 'A, so here they are for week one!

Winner: Catania Supporters

The constantly troubled Serie A ran into problems last weekend, finding Catania and Chievo fans at odds during a league match which found a Cheivo fan being robbed of his sat-nav system in a public scuffle. Instead of the story ending there, as many Italian football stories do lately, a regal group of Catania fans took it upon themselves to raise funds in hopes of making it right. Going one up on the hooligans who caused the trouble, the Catania organization organized (lots of organing) a fund raiser that saw a new sat-nav purchased and presented to the Cheivo fan. Classy move.



Loser: Sven-Göran Eriksson

There can be little doubt of Eriksson's pedigree, but the Swede just can't find his groove. After a disappointing international spell with the English national team followed by becoming the first managerial victim of the morphing Manchester City, becoming the Mexican national coach might have been viewed as strange choice and an effort to jump-start a bumpy career. After Mexico's latest loss to Jamaica the gaffer is on ice again. The loss compounded by the fact that Mexico has now been leapfrogged by their neighbors to the North in the FIFA rankings will not sit too well with the Mexican FA. With Mexico booked to play Canada this week, the Swede better hope for a win or face a whole new round of troubles from the unforgiving Mexican people. Muy interesante!
