I won't go further saying what i think about political correctness applied to football.

not taking it seriously at all, I may have abused my mod. role there but everytime I read stuff like BBilan and JuBe it reminds me of Forza Inter (Pazza Inter) and it makes me nauseous...

Any news about Pato's recovery from injury guys?

ac milan has the capacity to beat juventus on their turf. the future is bright for our club . we will win 3-1 ,with players like di-gennaro and alberto paloschi our future is bright , these players are the ones that would call the shots for us in the future . Even if mourinho arrives or even if we stick to anchellotti or the combination of baresi with some of our old players as part of our couching crew , our future is really bright. please can someone confirm if a certain player named alberto paloschi is in the ranks of ac-milan. thank you.

he's in the youth sector... but if he keeps going with his current form i expect him to be an AC Milan player next season..

hes had a few run outs scoring with his first touch on his Serie A debut with a stunning volley to give us 3 points

FSC will carry the match live for those with access...got it from: http://www.livesoccertv.com/fixture-2008-04-12.php

a "new" site that has replaced the now defunct soccertv.com

My thoughts:

Well, a cruicial match, no doubt about that...we can win, and indeed, it is a toss up, as to who will emerge victorious, since we are playing without our choice defenders, which is offset somewhat by the fact that we tend to play better away from home this season.

Juve are coming off an undeserved loss, and if we can nullify what should be a frenetic pace from them at the start of the match, by playing as we did vs Cagliari, with quick decisive passing, and attacking runs from our DMs, then we should be able to carve out a famous victory.

No news yet on Pato, but this for me, is a perfect game for Pippo...let him start, and keep the Juve defenders guessing, then bring Pato on for the last 30 min or so, to run them ragged.

The team picks itself, apart from the defense, so I expect Pippo, in the "head", Kaka and Seedorf just behind him, with Pirlo in his usual slot, and as indicated, whomever Carlo can manage to include...hopefully Nesta will win the appeal for his suspension.

FORZA MIIIIILAN!!! After last weeks performance, my spirits are bouyed, and hope springs eternal!

Lets go win this game!!! (And as much as I hate to say it, I hope Inter beat the Viola, or at least draw with them...while I also hope Roma beats Udine!...What a weekend of football for Serie A!)

My Prediction: 2-1 to Milan...I know we
are struggling, but I just have a gut feelin
about this being a win.

Crap we don't have nesta? Do you think we might have Bonera out there?

If you look at our remaining games....juve....inter....udinese.....yikes, I'm not sure we can afford to drop any more than 2 points in one of those games, and win the other two.

Inter will be beaten!

not sure about Juve tho, that god damn Buffon

anyway, if Nesta will play on Saturday night or not will be decided tomorrow in the court!

Fiorentina is leading 0-1 in Eindhoven. Mutu just scored one of the best goals of the competition. But i think playing in 3 days' time will be too much for them. I hope for a big draw or Fiorentina losing, even if that means Inter wins. Our CL champaign comes first.

Let Inter win, we shouldn't be concerned with their Scudetto chances this weekend. If we really want to put a dent in their title bid, then let's beat them on our own in a few weeks rather then hoping that some other team does.

Like you said Gio, our CL campaign comes first and the best for us right now is for Fiorentina NOT to beat Inter and we beat Juve.

Dumb cable providers took out FSC and replaced it with BPL-loving Sports Max so if ESPN doesn't show this game, I'm pretty much screwed save for some streams. Juventus - Milan is a game that deserves a lot more than a stream though

Wonder why Mystik? We get both channels (FSC and Sports Max) here in JA....

Hope u get it sorted out..if not, there is a chair with your name on it bro!

if court decide Nesta not to play, how is our chances to see Jankulovski back, is he started with training. I'm worried to much, last game Bonera did well and that give me a lot of confidence, but playing without Kala ana Nesta against Juve auufff. Janku will come like as in a pocket, if not just imagine our defence.
Simic--------Bonera---------Maldini--------Favalli.
Or maybe Carlo will go in this match with Cafu instead of Simic, witch will be wrong.
I hope court will decide in our position an we will see Nesta and probabily Janku, than our defence will be more powerfull, something like this:
Bonera---------Nesta---------Maldini-------Jankulovski.
Please GOD let us to win this one, it will be too shame too see Kaka, Pato and Ronaldinho to play in Uefa Cup next year.

FORZA MILAN
