2:0 won't be enough. 3:0 will ring everyone's bell and won't work either. 4:0 will do

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.

I dont think it'll be an attractive performance, but we might score a goal if we're lucky. I think 1-1 will suit us. Then our next CL-game will be against Barcelona at Nou Camp. We will draw and then beat them at the San Siro and qualify. Then comes the Euro DERBY. We're gonna win with the help of the referee. Semi's against Real Madrid, confident 4-0 with a 2-0 here and there. Then final we will lose to Lyon after having a 2 goal lead.

Are u sure Barcelona go to the next phase? I don`t think.I think verder can draw with Barca..When they play at home,Barca score in 93 minute.And if u watch match with Chelsea.They(chelsea) won`t let Werder to win,because they hope to meet Barcelona in final,or before.Because they wait for revenge to Barcelona.And i like Verder footbal,they play soo ofensive.Soo i think Verder can draw with Barca...and i hope that....Milan vs Lille..I alredy say..Milan need this win.I think Milan won`t let Lille to win!

Squad, from acmilan.com:

GOALKEEPERS: Kalac, Fiori, Facchin.
DEFENDERS: Antonelli, Bonera, Kaladze, Maldini, Jankulovski, Simic. MIDFIELDERS: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gourcuff, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf.
STRIKERS: Borriello, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Ricardo Oliveira.

I'm just gritting my teeth...a headline like this from Carlo...the man doesn't inspire me one bit, even with his reasoning...

Ancelotti wants useless win Tuesday 5 December, 2006

I can't even make myself post the article...here's the link...

http://www.channel4.com/sport/footba...lia/dec5k.html

not sure I see your point, Debs ... that stupid headline is what the journalists came up with ... has nothing to do with what Carlo was quoted of saying - at least I didn't see anything remotely close to it in the article above.

Even seeing that someone else would read into something Carlo said as beeing a "worthless win"....well, it came from something he said or it would not be worded Ancelotti wants a worthless win...

Inspire me....say instead "we want to win so that it boosts our confidence," don't mealy-mouth around so someone can interpret it as wanting a worthless win...

He said nothing that could even be interpreted to mean that. Journalists having fun I assume..?

too many assumptions, Debs ... after all, it's article-sellers we are dealing with here.
He never said anything that could possibly be interpreted as a "worthless win" ... unless someone really wanted to sell ... mhm, sorry "see" it that way.

My line up would be as follows... I added their ages...

------------------------Kalac(33)----------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
---Bonera(25)---Simic(31)---Maldini(38)---Jankulovski(29)
-------------------------------------------------------
-------Brocchi(30)------Pirlo(27)-----------------------
--------------------------------------Gourcuff(20)-----
------------------Kakà(24)-----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
------------Borriello(24)--------Gilardino(24)------------

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 know warro i just wanted to have a go at Graham Poll

Today I was drawing on paper what My starting line-up would be and yours is exactly the same....
I have been waiting this season to see how the Borriello/Gila attack goes, and we eventually got to see it in the Cagliari game... and both forwards scored, only other time both our forwards score din the same games wa sagainst Lazio- except for the Coppa Italia clash!
Kaka, he actually wasn't rested for this game he had an injury in his foot, but has recovered!
Borcchi was also injured but he seem sto be fine!

I would like to see this starting line-up, maybe we can get somewhere, and back to winning ways!

Forza Milan!

Ciao Ciao!

I just hope to see us rest as many players as possible, especially Pirlo (he's off against Torino anyway, but an extra week of rest won't hurt him) Brocchi and Gourcuff maybe.

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!
