Celtic vs AC Milan UCL 03/10/2007

Milan should be able to demoralise the non-traditional UCL teams dispite who we put on the field. I hope Carlo isnt becoming a tinker man...a loss to celtic will be hitting rock bottom...Milan Must Win to save face...an ugly win is better than a pretty defeat.

On the eighth day God created KAKA.

We won't beat Celtic with a weakened team.

Mister Jim, what are you thoughts on dropping a few firecrackers in dear Seedorf's shorts?

As much as I'd like to see Gourcuff on, I also want to see the best 11 on the pitch. We need a big win for morale. Celtic are a good team that we should be able to beat, but now that they are without Vennegoor and Nakamura that means they lost 50% of their firepower. Another draw would definitely be disappointing.

I'd like to see Gourcuff play as well. But I also agree with you we have to get the result. The frustrating thing is (although it only happend once or twice the year) when we go up by 2 or more, Gourcuff should be automatic to come on the pitch and get minutes. The earlier the better.

The Genoa game we were up 3 noting at the half & I think we brought on Emerson...WTF!!!

the problem is when we go up a couple goals, rational thinking says to add dm's... not am's... so he's kind of caught in a catch 22.

Ahh well..what can I say...confidence at an all time low...not sure if I will even watch the match...(who am I kidding )

Thats the problem...rational...three gaols was enough...we are begining to accept mediocre standards...its like we are tired of winning...Galliani and co can sit on there asses and watch our beloved Milan dig itself into a hole that we cant get out of...when will a team line up against Milan knowing there are going to be beaten...our downfall in form is a double kick in the teeth...we are down on confidence and our opponents are up...Spend our money and bring back some "Rightcards", Van Basten, Ruud, young Billy and Paolo... We have the power to do it but not the Will...money in the bank is useless...spending money is putting it to use... KAKA is the best hting since slice bread for Milan...we are too overdependent on him.

If the indeed is what is happening, that logic is B.S...this is not the first player ever that had to be intergrated into a team...I don't know why there making it out to be such a difficult task to get him playing time.

Also the opposite arguement can be made if you're up 3 - 0 Crush them!!!
If you're down you need a goal so he should be the first off the bench.

We need to win tonight, and convincingly. The players sorely needs a good experience to erase the nightmares from Serie A. And the only way to do that is by winning and playing super football. The way AC Milan did at San Siro vs. Man U last season.

Since Ancelotti rested players vs. Catania I expect him to field the strongest lineup possible at the moment. And that should be enough to collect another three points for the CL kitty.

So, Pippo has a 2% chance of starting over Gila...has there ever been an better example of the two options being less than a sum of their parts?

Jokes aside....I am feeling more and more uncomfortable about this match...

Half an hour gone, Inter lead PSV 2-0.....Roma are scoreless vs Man U...likewise Arsenal vs Steau...

Roma´s keeper (their 2nd string, as Doni is out with the flu) is having a great game, making some wonderful stops, only to injure his knee...hopefully he can continue...he is having a fantastic game so far....why is it that we cant find keepers like other clubs seem to be able to?

Because we, as human, often admire other's qualities while only focus on our own mistakes and misdeeds. What we are missing is that we forget about incidents when others fail and how we have gone through ordeals.

Grass is greener heh Jeff?
