ACMilan- Arsenal Champions League 07/08

Yep, he might be back, but he like RVP are made of glass, so you never know. However I think Rosicky should be back for Villa, so yeah.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDUARDO
2/25/2008
MILAN - Arsenal player Eduardo Da Silva, who was injured during saturday's game against Birmingham, celebrates his 25th birthday today. From the Milan family many happy birthday wishes and the hope for a quick recovery and return to activity.

At date Kaka has a 60% chance to recover for leg 2 after his injury vs Palermo.

More mind games for Ancelotti

ok, I pray for Liverpool to trash Merda, just for Moratti's sake how can anyone support this joke of a club really?

I think, it's misquoted. I've read (I forget where, but I think it's in channel4) that Moratti said in 90 minutes there could be 15 goals. I think, this statement is really different to what goal.com said.

I think he wanted to say that in San Siro there is still chance for Inter.

I really dont like Moratti but I also don't like journalists who just convert sentence(s) from interview just like they want.

“If the crowd are as I expect them to be, it will be hard for Liverpool. I have trust. We have 90 minutes and we can score 15 goals if we want to.”

this is the exact quote as he said it

Another story about Eduardo on your website, I thought one was great, but 3. Your club has gone up a few notches in my eyes. Amongst Arsenal fan's, Milan has always been the more liked one rather than the other big teams but I can assure you many Arsenal fan's have been blown away by the reaction of your club. Many have even started supporting you guys as their 2nd team. I am seriously considering doing the same. I used to support Lazio when I was younger(only because I had a Lazio shirt) but my interest faded, as Arsenal was enough but I could add Milan.

On another note, you guys won't believe this, do you know what many pundits and football people are saying in England as the real victim of the Eduardo injury. Guess?...........









Martin Taylor

Last but not least Toure is destined to be back for the 2nd leg, so that's great news as he is our best defender. Do you guys know if Nesta will be back?

NOt sure about Nesta, but we will see. Too early to talk about it now; we still have two games to play before your guys


So what's going to happen to Martin Taylor?

3 match ban, where the guy will suffer so tragically as the challenge has left him in emotional tatters. Hopefully the country carries on backing Tiny Tim as he is known who will no doubt need all the help he can get to survive this terrible ordeal. The poor fellow was so hurt he had to be convinced to come into training as his whole world felt it was in ruin.

That's the what the English media and sports people think of this incident.

In other words 3 matches and hes back to hurt someone else.

Haha just like me eh.

Still no word on Rosicky and Persie. Eboue could replace Rosicky no problem but who could replace Persie?

Then again if Wenger decides to play a 4-5-1 then only 1 striker (Ade) will be used.

As Outlaw has mentioned Kolo most likely will be backI don't know, Kolo hasnt been the same since he returned from the ACON - plus Senderos had a killer game at the Emirates. I have a sneaky feeling that Wenger will start with Theo in the game.

NIce that Toure will be back in the team. Will be a great matcH!

Theo will be a huge risk, whether he will cope, we don't know. However he had a great game against Birmingham. Your right about Kolo, and I feel even though individually Senderos is weaker than Galloure(Gallas and Toure). As a unit Senderos helps keep far more clean sheets than when it's Galloure playing. In saying all that, I would rather have Toure handling Kaka than Senderos, as the Swiss can be beaten easier especially if they are isolated.

I expect the following line up, unless of new injuries/knocks.

Lehmann
Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy
Eboue Flamini Fabregas Rosicky
Hleb
Adebayor

Strong enough to beat Milan. Rosicky is vital to the possesion game, and he will be needed. If Van Persie is on the bench than we will have a threat off the bench, which was something we lacked in the 1st leg. Theo could do some damage to tiring players with his pace. All in all I cannot wait.

I hoenstly doubt if someone who has been out for 4 - 5 months and just come back for an important game will deliver. At least I know that Kaka` can't lol! He has not been up to his standard lately, mainly becuase of a lingering injury.

I also remember the same thing about the same thing about Man Utd defender (his name starts with V... VIdic?) he came back from injury and was out for a few omnths and he could never mark Kaka` in the second game; on a usual day I think he could at least do much better; but fitness level after coming right back into play after injury is a huge question mark...

I would have agreed with you but against Chelsea, he had been out for 2-3 months, came on the 2nd half and created numerous chance, and almost scored too. I don't think he will make a huge impact, but he certainly could make a bigger impact than Bendtner, which is what my point was. As Bendtner is young and inexperienced, a half fit RVP is more likely to cause trouble than the Dane. Not that Bendtner is poor but he is out of form.

Also RVP's technique is very very sharp and clean so it shouldn't affect him too much. I think it was Pires who said RVP had the best technique he had ever seen, considering he played with Henry, Bergkamp and Zidane. That is a very bold statement. Like I said though, he won't make a big contribution but it would be a plus if he can be on the bench.

Trust me an unfit RVP is ten times better than Walcott or Bendtner.
Outlaw as you said, the impact he mae in the Chelsea game was huge.
I think he would be worth a punt for the first 65 minutes then walcott on to burn pace against Milan's defence.
