UCL SF 2nd leg : Milan-Manchester Utd.

[dictatornz]

surely it would be wiser to play bonera than KK?

[forward]

KK will rather die than allow malicious activity by the goal ;)
we only have to pray that he doesn't do something stupid

[curry chicken]

I should be going to sleep, as I have an early start tomorrow...but darn it. Am feeling so pumped for this game I don't think I will sleep tonight. :grinser:

Oh and wether we win or lose am keeping this new avator until this season is properly finished.

[forward]

curry chicken
same stuff dude, same stuff :)

[Blacktop]

God bless the pile of fecal material that is the English media. Now we have The Sun conveniently putting words into Milan players' mouths. I condensed their zillion one-sentence paragraphs into two for easier reading.

"Keeper Dida said the Portuguese ace froze in the first leg — despite scoring in United’s 3-2 victory. The Brazilian also reckons Ronaldo was outplayed by Milan’s two-goal hero Kaka. Dida said: 'The duel between Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo did not even exist in the end. Kaka won that one clearly — not only by two goals to one but by his work on the field. Ronaldo was just not that great. I believe the nerves and the responsibility proved too much for him.' United carry that slender lead into the second leg thanks to Wayne Rooney’s last-gasp strike. But Dida insisted: 'Rooney’s goal was just lucky. It was so far out anything could have happened. By beating us, Manchester United have not proved they are better than us. In fact, they are very lucky the tie is not over already. With the score at 2-1 to Milan they were very close to going out. If we had taken our chances to make it 3-1 then the match and the tie would have been closed out.' "

"Italian World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso has recovered from the foot injury that cut short his game at Old Trafford. The former Rangers midfielder said: 'For me, this match is more important than the World Cup final. Manchester United should be aware they are still not in the final. It will be an enormous error if they go to Milan with excessive confidence. Surely it will be impossible for us not to arrive in the final.' "

Can I get a "Puh-lease" from the congregation? :rolleyes:

[forward]

I kinda don't get whats going on :)
Gattuso and Dida didn't really say all that or what?:)

[hitmannq8]

pre-game build-up and how every one in milan is talking about the game is absolutely fantastic.. never had i seen so many fans that know about italian football, its usually all about the EPL!

everyone is worred about one thing guys: KALADZE.. especially considering his fitness problems this year, everyone thinks that he is our weakest link in the lineup and man utd will expose him...we all are also praying for a consistent performance from dida and to see the same Kaka and Seedorf from old trafford and munich respectively.

im worried about gattuso.. is he 100% fit? im afraid he might've taken injections to ease the pain and it might get serious during the encounter.. i hope nothing will happen to him, his inspiration is going to be needed more than ever especially that maldini wont be there.

FORZA MILAN! CREDIAMO TUTTAVIA!

[p_ps_sock]

bbc says maldini out and Kaladze or Bonera to replace him, good news for us as he was outstanding in the first leg.

Good luck tonight, if you win just make sure you stuff the scousers in the final, no excuses they're a poor team who are well organised with one good player (well 2 now they have Mascherano)

[Pireloke]

Liverpool is in the final, this fact alone will make us fight like lions, because Istanbul injustice has to be repaired. Only Manchester United and one goal stand in our way for the ultimate vengeance now. FORZA 11 LEONI! We have to win now, it's a matter of honor.

[Blacktop]

I kinda don't get whats going on
Gattuso and Dida didn't really say all that or what?
No. It's slander by the English media before the match, since Milan are playing an English team. They pulled this crap prior to the '05 CL final in order to rile up the 'Pool fan base as well.

Would Ringhio actually say that this match was above the WC final, which is easily the biggest sporting event on the planet? And would Dida really talk smack about an opponent (which he never does anyway) to an English rag when he's been virtually liplocked all season? Thank you, Your Honor, I rest my case.

[Giovanni]

I think the biggest concern about this game is Dida's performance. A middle table italian keeper would have done better so far..Peruzzi would have locked the goal in Manchester for ex.

Anyway, we are ready. It rains like hell in Turin this morning, and i assume it will rain tonight in Milan (hope it doesn't).

Gattuso's call for the army is appreciated but needless: people feels this game and personally i'm incredibly fired up and i want to show the English fans that there are other stadia in the world that can match their increddible atmposhere.

[forward]

guys, I assure you, Kaladze is solid, i am watching him since Dinamo, and that's a long time ago...
if he only doesn't mess up... :)

[forward]

They pulled this crap prior to the '05 CL final in order to rile up the 'Pool fan base as well.


so? the Pool fan base will still get pist when we kick their asses in the final
:devf: :devf: :devf:

[Kaka1899]

all i ask for tonight is a fight no dying and letting them attack i want Man u to be so intimidated by the Curva Sud going mad that they cant play as they would if we lose well we are back next year stronger than this year lets make a fight of this! Forza Milan!

[A-RedInWaiting]

Hi all from a waiting Liverpool fan..
Juss want to wish yu all good luck in today's semi final game and hope you overturn the goal deficit. I am confident AC Milan will turn the game around :5ok:, lets meet in Final and relive Instabul 2005... I would hate to see Man Utd go to the final...
I have more respect for The Milan team and the class of players they have
GOOD LUCK :1five:

[zlatanov]

Thanks, A-Red ... we'll do our best not to disappoint :)

[peters]

nervous as hell... i think the team is ready, but as mentioned, im worried about dida and kaladze. And about us having a hard time to score. Which is about every single problem there could be in this match :D

Go Milan!

[ACMILAN1983]

Gattuso's call for the army is appreciated but needless: people feels this game and personally i'm incredibly fired up and i want to show the English fans that there are other stadia in the world that can match their increddible atmposhere.

Perhaps it wasn't necessary, but I think it's served a great purpose. The tifosi have responded superbly to Rino's call, and that I think will add greater passion to the support.

surely it would be wiser to play bonera than KK?

At this point I'd probably select KK. It's not that Bonera isn't capable, but I'm still not convinced he's ready for such a responsibility in the huge games. KK has a lot more experience and has talked about feeling much better (bear in mind that against Cagliari he was playing with pain killers), so for now he'd seem the more obvious choice.

[ona]

This is just destiny...
Its a Milan - Liverpool final come may 23rd.All these date back to 1959 till 2006.Firstly, Milan have played man u 2wice in the champs league semis and on both occassions lost at man U only to come to San Siro to win 2-0 and 4-0 in 1958 and 1969 respectively. Also, another reason is the fact that it will once again be AGAINST ALL ODDS. Who can remember the situation was for the italians before the world cup just kike in 1982, domestic scandal and all the distraction but AGAINST ALL ODDS, the Italians went on to be chapions.
Similarly , considering that milan hav gone thru thick and thin, as it always happens, AGAINST ALL ODDS, not only will we beat man U, but we'll be European champs once again AGAINST ALL ODDS.....

[Rayno_acm]

I'm so nervous :nervous: and I heard it's raining like hell in Milano, the field will be wet, that's not good :p157:
C'mon guys, make us proud, we know you can do it :rone:

[Tony75]

FORZA MILAN.

Let The Curva Sud lift our team,
for Athens is home to our dream,
to lift again for the seventh time,
to make this poem rhyme.

Go Milan Go.

We know the starting eleven. Subs IMO should be Gourcuff, Serginho & Cafu/Gila.

We Believe.
FORZA MILAN.

[Debs]

Nervous, nervous, nervous....I would actually feel alot better if Maldini was playing, despite what people say about him. His very presence gives us courage and grinta. Perhaps him just being on the bench will do that for us. :p155:

[wookiee06]

I dont think uefa will allow us to get to the final, Because we have proven them all wrong. I bet they will hire refs which will rip us off, Get ready for tonight for a very very wrong call by the ref. Which makes us lose.

Even if we did get to the final. we lose due to the ref

[zlatanov]

De Bleeckere is a very good ref, one of the best recently, IMO

Doubt UEFA will go to such lengths ... plus, if they wanted us out, they would have done it already as Bayern provided them with a number of opportunities (the Kaka PK at SS and the Pippo goal from offside at the Arena ;)) ... we just need to be better and work to get to the final, no need for conspiracy theory excuses

[Ghost]

We are the best team in the world -

Then why am i scared to bits?

[Tony75]

MILAN will prevail,
united we will derail,
In Athens on May 23th,
Rossoneri voices will be heard.

FORZA MILAN. :5ok: :diablo:

[King tiger]

Forza Milan

[Tony29.]

Good luck tonight mates, to all of you and to Stez also !

I re-checked what the crystal ball says, and it still stands 2:1 for Milan ( 2:0 at halftime)
:)

I'll be in Athens for the final ( big thanx to my Greek mates) :p017: .
That's why CR7 and Kaka should better watch themselves tonight and don't get a second yellow.

[Tony75]

Bout to finish work. Last post to say - Bueno fortuna Milan. SEMPRE MILAN, SEMPRE MILANISTA.

[Hasan Rossonero]

Forza Milan!

Boy am I restless.

[mly]

Gattuso, you made me cry, I'm such a softy.


Last post before the game, no matter the outcome: always and forever FORZA MILAN!!!!! :devf:

[panteri]

Come on Milan... You can do it... We are the best team in the world.

FORZA MILAN
MILAN CHAMPIONE
FORZA MILAN
ALEe ALEe

Andiamo grande MILAN... I love you :3band: :3band: :3band:

[drucurl]

Seriously...I'm getting chest pains!!

[Ghost]

Forza Milan!

Boy am I restless.

You, me both..

Seriously...I'm getting chest pains!!

I know that feeling, jeez times getting slower and slower

[Pireloke]

I will be seeing it on TV, will need pills... stress. Final will be even worse if we qualify.

[Stezagud]

I thought id be more nervous than i am today, i think because of the league situation now im less worried about Utd ending up with nothing :cool:

Much as i want Utd to win i also think Milan will have a better chance of stopping the red machine in the final :eek:

[icculus]

really this is what its all about.... i love it!!! cant wait....

You make sure they remember, FOREVER, the night they played Milan!

You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the f#$king difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!

GIVE EM HELL!!!

[RegnoDelDiabolo]

i m reely confident that milan can make it to the final we just need the defends to be solide and to build good ataks

[Ghost]

GIVE EM HELL!!!

Red-Devils would prefer that, give them heaven :mad: :devf:

[drucurl]

The devil within-

Another poem by william Druspeare

we've been to hell,
this much is true,

For even a child can tell
that the devil wears black-and-blue

But from hell we returned
Back to San Siro
Our captain is burned
But is forever our Hero

All that we have learned
All that we have yearned,

May well perish tonight.....
But such is the price,
When two red devils fight.

For many devils we have fought,
Let the devil use his stealth.
Success we have bought
And not once with wealth :5inter:

So raise your heads up, all you rossonero
Whether we triumph today,
Or lie dead tomorrow.....
Know that we are champions never shall we yield
As long as there is Milan
Eleven Lions will roam the field

[RegnoDelDiabolo]

Red-Devils would prefer that, give them heaven :mad: :devf:
man the video ''i hate u r team'' rules :devf: :diablo:

[Warro Bantan]

EXCELLENT Sonnet Mr. Druspeare!!

Well written! Kudos to you!!

[A-RedInWaiting]

Seeing as that if yu guys win today then yu play with us (Liverpool), and I get strong feeling that most fans here want REVENGE really bad... and most people seemed to have resigned to the fact that Liverpool will lose the final no matter which team they play...
In all fairness I would rather lose to Milan then ManUtd, so am actually all the way behind MIlan Today :)

[Hasan Rossonero]

My peeps our lyrics are inspirational,
But what we need is a sensational
Performance--not the kind of Istanbul,
Otherwise that is a hernia waiting to happen,
With Dida in our goal, I hope there’s no flappin’,
Otherwise my heart will be tap tappp tappin’,
Watching that clown makes my hair go grey,
No wonder that fan put him up on ebay,
But I love him all the same cause he plays for us,
But I want Buffon so there is no goalkeeping fuss,
Now don’t even get me started on Rino,
Boy be representin like James Bond in a casino,
So let’s stop the talk of Dida and Gilardino,
We all know Drucurl has contempt for the latter,
He loves another player up front,
Who is a bit fatter,
If we had Ronaldo today I would be chillin’,
But we have Pippo who can fill in,
I wish I could use swear words,
So this rhyme wouldn’t be as tame,
Not lame son, you better show respect,
And never to the black and blue defect,
If you do I will have to buy you a cellphone,
So you can call that maggot Guido Rossi,
Tell him thanks for leaving after Moggi,
But let’s focus on the game and evoke the wrath of Khan,
And as always, Forza Milan!

[Dr Milano]

Vidic in, Rio on the bench. What a gamble. Will it pay off?

This Is The First Day Of My Last Days!!!!!

It is a heavy rain, it's not good for us, the fans are there again.

[Mufasa]

I Hear The San Siro Roar!!!!!!!

[Giorgos]

Milan, Milan solo con te.

[ganjarb]

the stadium is roaring like crazy. it's packed. kick off will start. still raining hard.

[Giorgos]

Kaka made a good cross but nobody pushed the ball

[Xudong]

rain is not good news for either team, ManU or us. maybe even in our favor slightly. :)

[Mufasa]

Oh Ricky The First!

[ganjarb]

GOD!!! INzaghi had a Chance !!!!

[Giorgos]

Our players see, Seedorf shoots a great save from Van de,

[Giorgos]

Our players seem determined like to have the...

[Giorgos]

eye of the tiger.

[Blacktop]

Have the what?

Edit: never mind.

[greek scavenger]

Good save by Van Der Sar

[ganjarb]

5 minutes. we're dictating

[Giorgos]

Kaka shoots easily save by Van de Sar.

[Blacktop]

The pitch is becoming an ocean.

[ukrainian_CA]

Started watching from an easy shot of ours. was it by the great Kaka?

[Giorgos]

Goal Kaka!

[Blacktop]

Oddo receiving treatment; Eurosport says he isn't even hurt.

[greek scavenger]

****ttttttt

Kaka Scored!!

[Kaku]

KakÀ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[ganjarb]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

[kastriot]

Thank you god for this precious gift

[Blacktop]

Goal?! Really?

[R9naldo]

goooooooooooooooooooooL kaka

[ukrainian_CA]

do not tell me the future, even if it is bright!

[Blacktop]

That could hinder us, since it's so early and we run the risk of losing focus.

[ukrainian_CA]

Great Kaka again!!! God bless Kaka and Milan will win!

[drucurl]

OMG KAKA Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[ganjarb]

That could hinder us, since it's so early and we run the risk of losing focus.

So BMWTaylor, what do you prefer? MU score first and we score 2 goals in the last 3 minutes of 2nd half? :grinser:

[ukrainian_CA]

A min before the goal - wonderful performance by Gattusso on CR7 (almost wrote CRV).,

[eltomas2]

...Dida and wet ball/field...nervousness!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blacktop]

No, it's just that I don't want us to relax now that we're one goal up. There's still a long way to go.

[Giorgos]

Suddenly the voice from the TV cut off. The picture fraze for a moment and then i saw Kaka, Ancelotti and the fans celebrating, i was was wondering if it was a replay from the previous match but it wasn't.

[Giorgos]

We are of the control of the rythm so we must score a second.

[ganjarb]

I see seedorf is dominatn in builidng the attack on miedfeld. doin't see much of pirlo yet.

[eltomas2]

gotta love gattuso

[Blacktop]

"United have made a poor start. They are unbelievably wasteful in possession, and have allowed Kaka far too much time and space. He is running the show." (Eurosport)

[Stitch]

united's players are panicking already

[Giorgos]

Pirlo shoots from long distance, out.

[ukrainian_CA]

I see Pippo is playing, i thought i saw Gila too. Do we play Gila + Pippo upfront? wow, I wouldn't let Gila takepart in this.

[Stitch]

i hope dida put some glue on his gloves. he makes me nervous.

[ganjarb]

i'm nervous for the fact that dida has not touched the ball yet. he needs to get something to be warmed up a little bit.

[Giorgos]

I see Pippo is playing, i thought i saw Gila too. Do we play Gila + Pippo upfront? wow, I wouldn't let Gila takepart in this.

No it's only Pippo.

[eltomas2]

whoah...bad mistake from Nesta, nice save by Dida

[Blacktop]

Uke, you mean Gila and Pippo are together on the pitch?

[Giorgos]

He touched the ball, Giggs shoot a minute ago after Nesta mistake.

[ukrainian_CA]

Uke, you mean Gila and Pippo are together on the pitch?
i said i thought i had seen Gila, no, someone told me, no Gila

[King tiger]

i cant watch the game anymore, to tense for me, i pray that we advance to the finals but i cant watch the game, i feel like im gonna get a heart attack.

[ganjarb]

somehow we stopped pushing.
our biggest enemy is our own attitude. the team should be well aware of this bad behaviour of not being able to maintain rythim after leading.

[Stitch]

as much as i can see, gila is not playing, kaka is playing as a forward

[Giorgos]

Vieri is watching the game from VIP.

[Stitch]

kuki i meni srce lupa, probaj apaurin popit, pomaze :D

[eltomas2]

last 5 to 10 min have let ManU in the flow of the game

[drucurl]

I see Pippo is playing, i thought i saw Gila too. Do we play Gila + Pippo upfront? wow, I wouldn't let Gila takepart in this.
Don't say that ...I'm no Gila fan but you'd never who is going to be your unlikley hero...and let's just say that Gila is surely the most unlikely :zany:

[Blacktop]

This is why I was nervous about leading so early. I knew we'd start slacking off.

[Giorgos]

We stay again back i don't like that.

[King tiger]

kuki i meni srce lupa, probaj apaurin popit, pomaze

necu da se drogiram :D da propadam

oddo's crosses are awful

[Mufasa]

Oddo isnt playin very well

[ukrainian_CA]

oddo's crosses are awful
Is KAfu on the bench? talking about good crosses

[Marino]

Holy Sh** 26 pages already...

i'm so damn nervous, where are you guys watching the game? link?????????

Is Man U pressing too much?????

[Blacktop]

Why the hell are we letting ManU into the box all of a sudden??

[eltomas2]

yeah oddo is pushing well from the right but his crosses so far are not that good, but we only need one or two good crosses

[ukrainian_CA]

My screen freezes everytime CR7 with the ball. Is it a good sign? i hope so...

[eltomas2]

this is more like it, Milan controlling once again

[Marino]

LINK PLEASE

are we playing well?

[Stitch]

united are playing like they have the lead. we are controling the game. hope this continues...

[Stitch]

2 0 !!!!!!!

[Giorgos]

2-0 Seedorf

[kastriot]

gooooooooooooooall

[eltomas2]

Goooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllll

[Marino]

www.live-footy.org 1st stream is sopcastThank YOU brother

[Giorgos]

Now we are calm enough.

[Stitch]

and we're still playing well, not letting UTD any possesion!

[ganjarb]

Pippo only runs around in the front. At least this will puzzle the utd defence.

[kastriot]

Now the worst part is coming....defending what we achieved....smth we are not good at lately....God pls help us...

[Giorgos]

I wore the shirt of the team when i made that in Final we lost. But it isn't the same day today.

[drucurl]

SEEEEEDDDDDDOOOOORRRRRFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!! MY heart my heart!!!!

[Aficio]

My dear Seedorf. I really love you.. Yeahh ha.

[Giorgos]

We have by far the best midfield in the world, they are amazing today.

[eltomas2]

oddo is doing everything right except for that final cross but otherwise he's been very active

[Stitch]

SEEEEEDDDDDDOOOOORRRRRFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!! MY heart my heart!!!!

you're not mentioning that guy Slowdorf these days :D :D

Pippo is having a gila-like game

[Blacktop]

Possession is pretty equal, 51 us to 49 for them.

[Marino]

I'm just praying for Carleto to not put Bonera or Brocchi again. the we should be set.

[Giorgos]

Do you know what is missing from the team? Good jump from Dida has a lot to proove.

[eltomas2]

this set pieces are just nerve wrecking!!!!!!!

[Stitch]

Possession is pretty equal, 51 us to 49 for them.

hm, it doesn't look that way, but I may be wrong. most of the play is on their sife of the pitch, except for the last few minutes.

[Giorgos]

this set pieces are just nerve wrecking!!!!!!!

Yeah, at least now we have two to defend. :5ok:

[Stitch]

bad FK from Pirlo

[Blacktop]

Meaningless Eurosport Statistic: One save for Milan, two for ManU so far.

[Marino]

We just can't f****** let ManU score 2 goals, it can't f****** happen

[Giorgos]

Inzaghi near goal!!!!!.

[eltomas2]

nice run by oddo, PIPPO ALMOST scored, all started with gattuso

[Giorgos]

If we had the traidor the score now would be 4-0. 41'

[Marino]

Inzaghi always score. either in offside or not so...

[eltomas2]

WOW, the crowd loves gatusso, what a match, he's inspired tonight

[Blacktop]

Will this half friggin' end already? I'm about to pass out from nervousness.

[Stitch]

i can't believe this guy from manchester is considered one of the best in the world. gattuso is making him look like George Costanza on the pitch. :D

[drucurl]

I think two min = Two hours

[Giorgos]

Our bench for the ones asked: Kalac, Cafu, Gilardino, Favalli, Bonera, Serginho, Brocchi.

[Jim_UK]

is it half-time yet? :nervous:

[Giorgos]

Our Stadium is hot, of course after Touba Stadium. Half-time 2-0.

[sam]

im back after a few years

half time 2-0
utd are rubbish

[eltomas2]

half-time, 2-0, well done, but let's not forget that we were up 2-1 last wk on half-time

[Blacktop]

"More chaos in the Untied area as Brown clatters into his own 'keeper. Inzaghi is there, as ever, looking to sniff out a goal, but Van der Sar eventually gathers."

Eurosport keeps misspelling "United" as "Untied." Freudian slip?

[drucurl]

No Gorcuff???????

[Jim_UK]

I think (and hope) Serginho will have an important part to play in the last 20 mins or so.

I knew i should have had my bath after the game and not before it ... i'm all sweaty and nervous again now :guw:

[mrki]

Forza Ragazzi!!!!!!!!!

[Kaku]

Alright...half-time let's hope we don't go too defensive....Kaká disappeared for the last minutes...but he's Kaká...we all know that when he touches the ball, something great will happen!

P.S: GATTUSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! A LION!!! (TRUE ROSSONERI)

FORZA MILAN!!!

[bosnian_acfan]

Oooooooooooo!!!!! Foooooorza Milan!!!!!! This is great, and I'm lovin' it!!!

[Bosniaco]

Wow people what a first half by Milan, everything we did went really well for us. Gattuso, Pirlo, Oddo, Kaka, Seedorf,...etc everyone played a very good half time. Man U did not do anything that needs to be mentioned. Ronaldo??? Did see him at all. San Siro fans in a great voice. I just hope for the second half to go as well as the first half did.

[Mystik]

We're playing GREAT. I don't know who's hating on Oddo..he's doing a wonderful job so far. GATTUSO OMG PERFECT. Let's try to get at least 1 more to seal this match. FORZA MILAN!

[Marino]

Gattuso = WIN

We obviously hadn't lose if he didn't get injured in Manchester.

[El Fre]

just Keep Attacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kastriot]

Well..... congrats to the squad,we are the best in the world.

I think we should continue with these players,and after 15 min put Sergio instead of pippo. Sergio gives a lot of option both in attack and defensively..

And if we have a good result, try to give a rest to Rinho(he was supposed to be unfit, what is this guy capable of doing when his 100% fit. :grinser: .

Now Kaka should be careful not to get booked...that can be a huge blow for us..

[Ghost]

Hey everyone, I decided to do no work but to watch the game. We are playing pretty good but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

3 Up against Liverpool at halftime I was on Coud9
2-1 Up against Man Utd at halftime I was on Cloud90
2-0 Up against Man United now im on planet earth, there still is 45Minutes left in this tie.

C'mon Forzaaaa Milan..

So far, my MOM has to be Gattuso, he has totally boxed Ronaldo in with no way out. Take this commentary from SkySports1..

My word he isn’t glamerous in looks or style like kaka but my word does he play the game.. Legend!! lol

[sveto]

concentration and discpiline are the words for the second 45min!!!!
My heart is beating like crazy

[drucurl]

Dammit How Long do these guys need for Halftime? :crazy: :crazy:
doesn't san Siro have a Beer Man like all other stadiums throughout the world :mad: That's why I keep mine in my refrigerator :v46: apparently carlo had missed this crucial preparatory detail :eekani:

[Giorgos]

Yeah Sveto nothing finished we need to be serious enough in the second but i get prepared....

[Blacktop]

Somehow, a lunch of chicken and prawns tastes MUCH better with a 2-0 lead. :)

[Lukaka_zg]

:3band: :3band: gattuso vote=10
:diablo: :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:

[eltomas2]

yes oddo is playing well, making Ronaldo come back and defend, ronaldo is moving towards the center sometimes with little effect, GATTUSO is HUGE TODAY, like there's 3 of them in the midfield, ambro and pirlo playing well, janku has been quiet but solid, nesta and kala good, pippo always a threat and kaka and seedorf making it happen...Milan usually plays well up until the 60th to 65th minute, then the problems starts so let's hope we don't lose our concentration this time...

[Jim_UK]

lets hope for a quick goal or two in the first 10 mins of the 2nd half to really kill this tie ... it's still on a knife edge

[ukrainian_CA]

I had decided not to write about Gattusso's performance yntil after the game,
I did not want to jinx it. But since you started already -
He is a monster, laaaater.

[Nadir]

Good performance so far - Milan are showing their breed as Champions League thoroughbreds. Milan is a team built for Europe, for the big game - and for some reason, Milan is often considered the underdog.

For those of you old enough to remember the 1994 European Cup final in Athens against Barcelona, the media didn't give Milan a prayer since Baresi and Costacurta were not playing. Since then, Milan have rarely been considered favourites in the big games. And here we are again - with all non-Milan fans and neutrals having ruled out Milan after the first leg.

But we are Milan. And the wonderful thing about it is - only the passionate Milan fans seem to know our secret. If you don't know what the secret is..I won't tell you ;) But I am sure the old timers in this forum, and the long time Milan fans know exactly what I am talking about.

PS: And to all the non-believing Milan "fans" in this forum who criticised our team so harshly after the 1st leg....don't celebrate with the real fans after this game is over if Milan win it. There's a forum out there somewhere for bandwagon jumpers. And the team wasn't looking at you "fans" when they celebrated - they were looking at the real fans in the Curva Sud and around the world. so...a big :devf:

[Blacktop]

What's happening with the weather right now? Has the rain stopped?

[Milan_Mad]

best performance of the season so far but please just attack attack milan

[ukrainian_CA]

Replays: what an assist by Clarence! What a goal too. 1 assist+ 1goal potential MoM = Cl. Seedorf

[drucurl]

Somehow, a lunch of chicken and prawns tastes MUCH better with a 2-0 lead. :)

NO RELAXING SOLDIER!!!!!

[Giorgos]

best performance of the season so far but please just attack attack milan

Attack but leave for the final also.

[eltomas2]

sweaty palms, high blood pressure, pulse is rising and my mind is racing!!!

[Kaku]

I just want better crosses from Oddo :P...otherwise I'm just loving him this game...

And I agree with Jim...we need to score in the first 10/15 mins...so we can kill this tie..but still we can't get complacent...

[ukrainian_CA]

Actually, all 3 top English teams look fatigued.
Maybe they should cancel one of their cups and not to fight too much for the other. huh?

[Blacktop]

The offense has done their job. Now it's time for the defense to step up. They'll be crucial to our ability to put this game away early. Show the world why Italy plays the best defense in Europe.

[ukrainian_CA]

Somehow, a lunch of chicken and prawns tastes MUCH better with a 2-0 lead. :)

late lunch? i am also having one at noon...

[Ghost]

sweaty palms, high blood pressure, pulse is rising and my mind is racing!!!

you forgot the... ermmmm

im not sure

[Stitch]

hmmmmm pirlo's shot is off today

[Blacktop]

late lunch? i am also having one at noon...
I started eating just before the game started. I've recently discovered that early lunches are better than late ones.

[Stitch]

cafu warming up

[ukrainian_CA]

CR7 is cr.p today, hopefully he stay that way...

[Stitch]

wow, dida caught a cross, CONGRATULATIONS :D :D :D

[eltomas2]

PIRLO!!!!!! what the f&^% was that!!!

[Giorgos]

To calm down, i share that with you:

[Blacktop]

Carrick shoots across goal. Come on, Milan, let's play some D.

[ukrainian_CA]

To calm down, i share that with you:
HAve you gotten the tix already?

[Blacktop]

We need to slow gameplay down and pass the ball.

[Stitch]

kaka misses 100% chance !!!! :(

[Giorgos]

The OAKA stadium for you :

Kaka face to face, Van De Sar saves.

[Giorgos]

HAve you gotten the tix already?

You mean the ticket? :5ok:

[eltomas2]

whoa...KAKA took to school Vidic who clearly is not match fit hehe, almost scored

[Blacktop]

"For all his talents, Cristiano Ronaldo has had a stinker so far. His first touch has been bad, his passing has been wayward, and he has been given no time on the ball by Gattuso."

Don't count the chickens just yet, Eurosport.

[ukrainian_CA]

You mean the ticket? :5ok:
yeah, i meant in plural form)

[Stitch]

pirlo is not very good today. making a lot of mistakes.

[Ghost]

oh Nooooooo!!

Brocchi Is Warming Up

[eltomas2]

damn it pirlo, can't play aorund like that, free kick for ManU

[ukrainian_CA]

"For all his talents, Cristiano Ronaldo has had a stinker so far. His first touch has been bad, his passing has been wayward, and he has been given no time on the ball by Gattuso."

true about CR7 today, what a piece of garbage he is now

[Blacktop]

We cannot afford to reach new levels of suckitude right now. We JUST can't.

[eltomas2]

HAHAHA, crowd goes nutz every time dida catches crosses, hehe

[drucurl]

maybe carlo doens't want him to get booked? :dontkn:

[Giorgos]

Dida is good today in jumping, i tried a lot Ulrainian two months ago to find but it was like a gold card, but i will see again, i may try to find from a minister.

[Stitch]

ugh. FK for ManU, nice chance.

[Giorgos]

The rain stop, our wall stop another one foul of Ronaldo.

[Stitch]

it's 60th minute, and we're slowing down. I'm not liking this.
