Summary: With only 14 points from 13 Serie A games, chaos now reigns supreme inside the walls of AC Milan as ultras have now taken to the streets in protest, a club legend becomes both protagonist and mediator, and the club is left with its worst start to an Italian campaign since 1981-82 when the Rossoneri were later relegated to Serie B and were left on the edge of financial disaster. The same could almost be said again for AC Milan in 2013-14, as the club is pushed yet again to another form of relegation as the loss of Champions League football looms ever more large as immediate consideration will be taken in light of demands by its ownership that the club will be forced to stand on its own without that added UEFA TV revenue, seen as a lifeblood to the club. Joining Anto to discuss the matter of AC Milan at its most chaotic state since 1986 is Italian football commentator Owen Neilson who was on hand at San Siro on Saturday to witness the events in the Curva, the failure of the club to put away a Genoa side left at only 10 men for much of the encounter, and then the strange series of events that spilled into the streets of Milan. In part one we examine the fallout and ramifications in precise detail, break down both the failures of its manager Max Allegri and the errors of an organization that seems perched to implode with rumours of backroom turmoil and political intrigue within the Berlusconi regime. We evaluate the many facets and pieces that need urgent repair, the emerging danger of losing either Mario Balotelli or Stephan El Shaarawy as finances will dictate what to do next and breakdown what could be a managerial change in the short term. In part two, we look at Juventus who seem to have turned the corner and taken back control of Serie A, forecast a bit how the top three is not yet settled science and why Roma might just hold the edge over Napoli and Fiorentina without the extra challenge of those European nights. We close on the matter of Domenico Berardi at Sassuolo who appears to be the new emerging talking point of the season to consider whether his admirers have merit or whether he may just be another young promising talent with even more to prove and that is precisely where the curious case of Mauro Icardi offers yet one more strange tale in the always outrageous world of calcio.
