Milan vs Lille in UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE..Discussion,possible results and other..


Ale,ale ROSSONERI aleee.

Hi Guys !

I do not know how many we will be in san Siro (the name we all care about)
Could you tell me what are the pubs/ places not to miss ?
Regarding the game: I think we have a chance since we must fight to get something whereas Milan has got it all cooked.
I hope a 0-1 or 1-2

This game is a tough one - this isnt cagliari , messina , athens or anything

Milan must put out a good team and try to win ...


p.s i hope to see many changes in January

We have won away tonight 1-3 in Nancy (the ones who defeated Feyenoord last week 3-0)
Unfortunatly we have lost our goal keeper, Sylva, who broke his hand.
The replacement is not very good.

We have to beat Lille 3:0... R.Olieveira, Gilardino, Kaka

I just found out from acmilan.com that GRAHAM POLL will be the ref am confused how he gets a high profile game like this, every time ive seen him ref in the prem this season he has been really time after time he is leave alone the world cup he had.

Milan_Mad...this game may be many things, but a high profile game it is not.

It doesnt matter to Milan if we win this or no...it may, and probably does matter to Lille...but how do you say this is high profile? Because it is in the UCL? As England´s most highly regarded ref (by the FA dude, the FA, not Joe Public), UEFA had to give him a game, and, since everyone but the English FA know he is bullocks, they gave him this "useless" game.

Debs...I think u r reading a little too much into this, and allowing your anti-Ancelotti bias to affect your usually astute reasoning...I agree with Zlat...you have bought what the journalists were selling...

Let me ask you this Debs...say you were not an AC Milan fan...would you stop to read an article about Milan and Lille, were the headline to read: "Milan field full strength team, though already through to last 16" ....?

Doubt it...but, the headline is catchy, even for the neutral...since thoretically there is no such thing as a useless win..or useless goals for that matter...but that is another argument entirely.

Milan_Mad Graham Poll is a great arbitre.
And..I think Borriello wouldn`t start the game..I think Oli. will start whe game.And i don`t know what to i think..Milan let Lille to win,or Milan will play to win Lille.I hope Milan will win this game..because it`s very important game for Milan,and Ancelotti.

I don't want to dissapoint you but whenever Milan was in similar situation, Milan wasn't winning. Not because Milan couldn't have beaten all those teams in the past, but because Milan is also an Italian team. And when Italians don't need the win, they don't win - simple as that !

In 2004 Milan didn't need any points against Celtic in the last round, and Milan didn't win ( it ended 0:0) . In 2003 Milan didn't need the points against Celta Vigo because Milan allready won the group, and Milan lost 1:2 at home.
In 2002 Milan played the last group match ( in 2nd phase groups) at home against Dortmund, after allready securing the first place in the group, and Milan lost 0:1. In the same year, in first phase of the groups Milan played the last match again at home, and again after allready being first no matter what happens, against La Coruna, and again you lost 1:2.

As you can see, everytime in last 5 years when Milan didn't need the points in the last round, Milan was always loosing, and once they drew.

Ok, the situation is different now. Ancelotti can be in trouble if he loses another match. But i feel he'll give a rest to some players who must be rested if we know how many matches they need to play for 90 minutes, until the injured guys come back.

On the other hand, Lille desperately needs the points, and if we have in mind that Lille will be 100% motivated and give 101% of them, and they'll play against Milan's "reserves" , then i wouldn't be suprised if Milan won't win this one !

There's already a thread open buddy...

I mixed the threads, so here it goes again

That's why I told my AEK-supporter friend that beating Milan won't help if Milan still qualify lol.

i would start with Borriello and Gila for this match, build up this partnership... Oli-gila one isnt working! Maybe start alot of youngsters..

I happen to have the same feeling. Will Borriello turn out to be some big shot?

also, for your information, Oliveira isn't exactly old, he is only two years older than Borriello and Gila. But I guess I just like Italians.
