Milan, who host Fiorentina on Saturday, have taken one point from their last two games to renew the almost inevitable speculation about Allegri's future, something he has had to live with throughout the last two seasons.
After his side were held 1-1 at home by Lazio on Wednesday, leaving them 13 points off third spot, Allegri produced the familiar lines Milan fans have become tired of hearing recently.
He complained about injuries, said they performed well, failed to take their chances, lost concentration and made no real mistakes apart from the goal they conceded. And he said they would fight on and do better next time.
"The team played well, created chances and didn't give anything to Lazio," he said. "And after we went ahead we had a couple of situations which we should have made more from.
"We will only get out of this with hard work but, of course, we are getting further away from third place. The teams ahead of us are travelling at an amazing speed and if we carry on like this, it will be impossible to overtake them.

"We must get back to winning... if we play like this, the team has a good chance of getting good results... There are reasons for not getting results but we have had a lot of injuries."
Milan are 10th in the table with only 12 points from 10 games, including a mere three wins.
They need to finish third to earn a place in the Champions League playoff round, something they did by the skin of their teeth last season with a 2-1 win at Siena in their last game. But they already find themselves cast adrift of Juventus, who are currently in third spot.
However they can take comfort from last season, when they recovered to finish third despite starting the season in even more disastrous fashion.
Fiorentina, enjoying another impressive season under coach Vincenzo Montella, are sixth with 18 points and have already beaten Juve 4-2 this season.

Fiorentina are unbeaten in the last two seasons against AC Milan (2W 2D).
Previously, the Rossoneri had beaten the Viola for seven consecutive games in Serie A, without conceding goals in five of those.
Fiorentina won the last two games against AC Milan at the San Siro.
AC Milan have always scored only one goal in each of their last six home games against the Viola.
AC Milan have picked up 12 points after 10 match-days, one more than last season after the same number of games (11).
Massimiliano Allegri‘s side have lost only one of their last 17 home league games (W13 D3).
Fiorentina have lost only two of their last 13 league games between this and the last season, winning eight of these (D3).

WWE Raw : The Shield goes hunting and Kane puts Bryan through hell

Stephanie McMahon called out WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan Something is not sitting right with one of WWE’s principal owners, and it’s the state of affairs surrounding the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan. Despite the heartfelt address the “Yes!” Man delivered to the WWE Universe less than an hour earlier, Stephanie McMahon – who’s lately asserted herself as Bryan’s primary front-office foe thanks to Triple H’s preoccupation with The Shield – more or less insinuated Bryan’s injury was proof positive of what she’s been saying all along: That Bryan can’t hang with the “A-plus players” of WWE. Watch: Kane puts Bryan through hell She demanded a face-to-face with the Champion of Champions, but what she got was a glimpse of just how far she’d gone by returning Kane’s mask to him: The former Director of Operations emerged instead of Bryan, dragging the bearded husk of his former tag-team partner and depositing him on the stage Stephanie, who could onl

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Big Show

The Authority’s settlement with Big Show may not have cost millions of dollars or control of the company, but it could very well put in jeopardy The Face of WWE. At the 27th Annual Survivor Series, the big anti-Authority who packs dynamite in his fist will challenge Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, a condition of the seven-footer’s very public out-of-court settlement with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Watch a video preview of The Face vs. The Fist The championship bout comes after months of Big Show being subjected to humiliating power plays by The Authority. Fueled by pent-up rage, the keeper of the KO Punch undoubtedly relishes the opportunity to dismantle Triple H and Stephanie’s chosen one and reclaim the WWE Title in one fell swoop. WWE’s fall classic has historically been very kind to The World’s Largest Athlete: Big Show, a six-time World Champion, began both of his WWE Title reigns at Survivor Series. In 1999, he defeated Triple H and The Rock in a Triple Threat Matc

Coleen and Wayne Rooney go for the effortless look as they celebrate a relative's birthday in Manchester

She has her own capsule collection with Littlewoods and he has enough money to buy the best clothes in the world, but Wayne and Coleen Rooney seemed to forget this when they dined out in Manchester, this weekend. The pair were seen dining in trendy restaurant Australasia wearing less-than-flattering clothing for a night away from their two sons. Together, they joined Coleen's brother and his girlfriend for a family meal. The new restaurant serves modern Australian cuisine underpinned by European cooking techniques. The result is a blend of Indonesian, Southeast Asian influences and Australia's strong ties with Japan. It has become the latest hot-spot for footballers and their other halves. Sadly, despite the plush new venue, the pair weren't in sync on the fashion front. While Coleen opted for a smart/casual effort - which included a snakeskin-effect dress, a leather jacket and black ankle boots - Wayne seemed to make no effort whatsoever. The multi-million
