Match report: Milan 3 - Juventus 0

• Goals scored: Antonini 14', Ronaldinho 29', 67'
• What happened: Antonini scored the first goal of his AC Milan career. Ronaldinho scored two goals. The Juventus fans set off numerous explosions and sang derogatory songs and had to be warned over the public address system that play would be halted if they did not stop.
• Aggregate score of the two Milan-Juventus matches this season: 6-0 (Milan)
• Reasons why fans of both teams were unhappy: Juventus finished in seventh place and had a truly terrible season (for them). Milan did about as well as can be expected and finished in third. Milan fans are upset that the team has not spent more money to bring in top quality players in recent years and also that first year coach Leonardo (pictured above congratulating Antonini on his goal and pictured below being bid farewell by his team) is being forced out by Silvio Berlusconi. The fans repeatedly sang songs in honor of Leonardo until he acknowledged them with a wave.

• Milan personnel who officially said goodbye at today's match: Leonardo and Favalli
• Milan personnel who may have played their last match for the team today: Dida, Inzaghi, Ronaldinho, and about a dozen others
• What this match teaches us: Milan's Serie A 2009-2010 season is over. This means that my daughter will soon be home from her (almost) year in Brazil.

Below are highlights:

Match report: Bolton 2 - Hull 2

It is only December, but it is not too early to start talking about end-of-the-season relegation. Coming into this match, Bolton and Hull City were tied for 18th place, so obviously both sides wanted to win very badly. Bolton was up 2-0 in the second half (on goals by Klasnic and Davies), but Hull came back to tie on two goals by Stephen Hunt. (See photo above-- Hunt is on the right, raising his arms in celebration of scoring the tying goal. Bolton's Paul Robinson is trying, and failing, to keep the ball out of the net.) The match had all the energy and excitement of a World Cup quarter-final, minus the skill.

Post-match update: Following the game, Bolton manager Gary Megson was fired by the club.
