Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. Rini Gattuso taking it to the fullest extent against Joe Jordan.

Antonio Cassano made his debut for AC Milan in a friendly against Al Ahli which they won, 2-1. No goalscoring spectaculars but some useful work down the wings for the former Sampdoria player.

Cassano had a very public falling out with Riccardo Garrone, Sampodoria's president of Sampdoria and his situation became untenable with the case going to arbitration.

Peter Crouch might have scored the goal but the architect was Aaron Lennon bursting forth leaving Mario Yepes sprawling in his wake.

Spurs shrugged off the loss of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale as they went on the offensive through Rafael Van der Vaart with Sandro and Wilson Palacios bolstering the midfield.

80,000 fans and most of them very disappointed. It is difficult to report on the latest expedition of Spurs into Europe without straying into the realms of exaggeration and hype. Especially now that the MOTD hosts claim that anything from a goal kick to the referee blowing his nose is 'sensational'.

Sad news for the Rossoneri as Andrea Pirlo who served their club so brilliantly for ten seasons is moving on to Juventus. His Milan contract expires on June 30th and he's accepted a three year contract to play for the Bianconeri.

Pirlo was one of the catalysts of the Milan attack who could change the outcome in a stroke with a deceptively struck pile driver, wickedly curling free kick, or a perfectly timed long ball.

The Old Lady's hot start continues and this time their victims were defending champs AC Milan. Claudio Marchisio with his brace was the hero. The new Juventus Stadium is proving to be a lucky charm as Juve sit on top of the Serie with Udinese. AC are in 15th position and Inter are two places behind.
