4. Hmm, the ones I know are pretty fond of the EU
and being a part of it.

5. Match fixing has a lot to do with it...
More recently, Milan were involved in the 2006 Serie A scandal where five teams were accused of fixing matches by selecting favorable referees. Milan were initially punished with a 15 point deduction and consequently did not qualify for the UEFA Champions League. An appeal saw their penalty reduced to 8 points and allowed to retain their 2006-07 Champions League participation, where they won the competition.

Also, they're a pretty darned good team (though I'm an Arsenal fan personally...), and sometimes people just hate popular teams.

But the aforementioned match fixing scandal sure as hell doesn't help matters...
