It is clear you know nothing about the match fixing scandal, so it's probably in your best interests to stop talking about it as all your doing is making yourself look ignorant and a bit stupid. But if you wish to continue then please do so, we're all enjoying how foolish you sound in regards this topic.

Understatement to say the least

p ps sock, I'm going to ask you to try and put what you want to say into single posts, because posting multiple times in a row is pointless.

Bro/Lass, whichever u are: listen, we have no issues with fans from our opposing teams, regardless of the competition, posting here, but please, go back to some of your more analytical, sensible posts, and stop the ranting....

Match fixing? Do you even know why we were faced with a penalty? What the so called evidence was? Nope..I dont think u do....but go on, continue to make Man U look like a club whose fans are buffoons.

well instead of posting generalisations enlighten me, was what I said not the allegation, were you and juve not both accused of doing what I said?

you can't edit your posts here though, so when I've posted I can't go back to it when I read something else

EDIT: well I can now but I didn't have an edit icon earlier ????

If u really think that I have nothing to do, and I have the time to go back and actually re-read some of the crap u have posted, then think again.

There are much more important things to do with my time.

Have a nice day though, and I hope that Man U win the EPL...and whatever other trophies that you are battling for domestically.....u wont win vs Milan, so its pointless wishing you luck for the UCL.

Cheers!

you can't call someone an idiot then say 'because you are', without any other convincing arguement I will continue to think of everything as I did before

Did thanks for the Good Luck Message, don't be too disappointed on Tuesday, you're team will get to play in a wonderful stadium in front of a great crowd, its an experience not to be missed so it won't be a wasted evening for your team and fans

Van der Vaart on Milan-Ajax in 2003
Vieri on Inter-Milan in 2003
Nedved and then Davids in CL final 2003
Juninho in Lyon last year
Van Bommel, Kahn in Milano and Schweinsteiger in Munich.

or Milan playing without Billy and Baresi vs possibly the strongest attacking team of those years, Cruyff's Barca, in the 1994 CL final ... and winning 4-0 not leaving the slightest of chances to that great Barca team of Romario, Stoichkov, Laudrup and Koeman.

Maybe ManU fans should stop whining about missing Ferdinand and Vidic and take Milan as an example that if you really have it, if you really are a great team and not just a bunch of self-promoting overhypes riding the wave of one-seded British tabloids, nothing and no one could tell you otherwise .

you'll see just how over rated Ronaldo is on tuesday...

as other have told you already, you are talking about things that you simply know nothing about so it would be best to first educate yourself and then open your mouth.
Just for the record, Milan were never relegated to begin with ... the only dif that the appeal made for us was playing in CL thru the qualifiers vs no CL at all.

I am not gonna waste my time referring to whether Milan was justly punished or not but I guess in the next 10 days it would become clear on the field whether we have a place in CL or not and whether we are good enough to be where we are ... believe me, ManU will have to give their 2 best performances of the season - way better than those vs Roma if they are to even stand a chance of making it thru to the finals.

As for the game, I predict Milan will do the following - weathering the initail 10-15 min storm and then slowly but shurely taking control over the midfield and passing ManU players to death, slowing down the tempo of the game and taking manU players off their stride and comfort zone, while patiently waiting to strike them whenever we can.
ManU players will start getting nervous and impatient and will commit suicide by forgetting the meaning of two fundamental words for this level of football - "team play" and "patience" - and will throw themselves in fruitless attempts of trying to overcome Milan's defense and midfield with individual technique and speed, thus showing thieir lack of experience only to become an even easier prey for Milan's defense.
ManU will only prove that being "more experienced" than 2 years ago spells differently than being "experienced enough".

Not sure if Milan will win but I am sure that Milan will tame and suffocate the ManU we all know from their EPL games i.e. Milan will have the game and their opponent under control.

Lets see if my prediction is right

no, but the heart of Milan's Central defense was missing and that was against the best team, the best attacking team of those years ... something you obviously don't see in Milan, so you shouldn't worry at all.

Plus, ManU will most likely have Heinze and Evra at their disposal ... and maybe even Neville would make it ... either way, you are NOT missing all 4 first choice defenders, so don't try to play the victim here and start loking for excuses in case of a defeat ... at least wait till the two games are over then feel free to suggest whether it was Maldini or Carlo who bribed ManU doctors to rush the return of Ferdinand and aggrevate his injury

so if he playes great and demolishes Milan and runs circles around their grandpas at the back, he will prove that he is a great player, right?
in the same line of thinking, however, would you call him an overhyped kid if Milan hides the ball from him and make him look silly once again ... it's only fair, don't you think?

I don't need to see it, I already know he's one big 0 surrounded by a bunch of even bigger 0s ...

Poor Milan, they are so going down the drain

Shut up Zlat and don't ruin my perfect argument how Milan is the luckiest team of all time in the universe

But spot on
What you just said is soooo true.
One or 2 players missing, even if they are the best you have, shouldn't mean much to a great team.
All 25 players make the team a great one and a champion, not just the 2 or 3 star players !

Still, you're lucky bastards ( my signature doesn't aply when we talk about Milan's luck )

Oh, and btw...

Roma finished 5th last year and originally they should have played UEFA Cup, not CL.
They are the ones that didn't deserve to play CL because they weren't good enough to get in top4.
So, technically, Manchester United was privileged to play against an "UEFA Cup team", not against a Champions league material.
Talking about luck.....

Right ?
