I've been to Milan twice and have a friend who works in management, so he has taken me and my one friend out to Milanello both times. On our second visit I had the extreme honor of meeting Paolino, and all I can say is I have never met a more friendly, humble man in my life! I was truly fearing the end of this season and the thought that he would be retiring! We may be in the EUFA Cup, which we've never won so let's set our sights on that, but by the gods, we have Il Capitano!! Maldini is simply THE icon of soccer/football/calcio!

In the likely chance that we're in the UEFA, we'll make the most of it, do the restructuring we're been needing for the last 2-3 seasons, and get back into the CL and challenge for the scudetto. I want to give Il Capitano an incredible season next year. Chris, I hope we do too.

I don't mean to be blunt (well, that's a bit of a lie...), but really. He has been simply incredible at time this season (in the badass way). He can still run circles around wingers without a thought and still has those killer slide tackles. If His Royal Maldininess says he can play on, then he can play on. Paolo would never put himself above the team. In a time during a significant transition for Milan during this summer/ next year, we will need his leadership. Forza Paolo Per Sempre!

His future is in the backroom staff. IMO, he needs to retire and reign in the new cycle. His future is in the backroom staff.

The man will still be playing for Milan long after my corpse has decomposed in the ground. Maldini has found the fountain of youth and he’s keeping it all to himself.

Your boys need some reinforcements desperately. And I hope you get them. Milan in UEFA is no fun. If I were a Milan fan, I’d honestly look forward to the summer before thinking about next season.

PAOLO PER SEMPRE! Yep, its been a pretty crappy week for Rossoneri, but I was simply elated when Maldini made this announcement. It isn't just a joyous event for us, but for all of football. Brilliant man. His class, respect, talent (with those vintage Maldini tackles)...he is the god of football. Over at the Milan Offside, we were joking about a hilarious statement that Simic said, basically that if Maldini stayed, he would leave. Um. Yeah. Hard choice there buddy, hard choice... Now if Rino would just hurry his butt up and say he would stay, we could finally look to next year. ALE MI CAPITANO! PAOLO PER SEMPRE!
