If he keeps flapping at shots that come at him, yes. That's what happens when players play bad, people tend to point their finger at them. Dida has annoyed me for 2 years now.

Rooney didn't have any chance in the first half. He was completely neutralized by Maldini.

ManU didn't have any chance in the first half. Their midfielders were completely neutralized by Gattuso.

If we have them two back for the home match, I am sure that we can win 3-1. Kaka' scoring one more goal, and Pippo, and Seedorf.

I don't understand why Ancelotti took out Gilardino for Gourcuff, though Gilardino didn't have a great game today either.

Too bad Kaka couldn't utilize the two semi-chances he had in the second half. Would have sealed the whole game.

Dida was to blame for both goals, maybe not 100%. but we really don't know whether Kalac could have done better. Since Ancelotti trusts him, we will just have to support him.

maybe i'll wake up tomorrow and it'll be August

they damaged us in the very same way vs Bayern too - a 2-2 draw at home is just as damaging as a 3-2 away loss ... either way, it makes the next game a must-win one.

As mentioned, maybe this is better for Milan given our tendency to fall asleep when we have the advantage and we don't have to work our butts off.

Just hope that Maldini and Rino recover from their injuries while Sergio and Pippo regain their fitness.


FORZA MILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are ManU defenders going to recover for the SS fixture? Neville & Ferdinand?

We won't know. 2-1 to us certainly would have a negative impact cos we tend to shut off after that like we show in the 2nd half and even carrying this result back to SS is dangerous.

2-2 is a pretty good result to take back IMO cos it will still keep milan on the ground while giving an advantage. But of course Milan might still try to keep a 0-0 which is dangerous.

2-3 certainly push us against the wall as we need to win the game and keep the fighting spirit in the dressing room. I hope the team would take it in a positive way and go out there and fight for the victory which would send us thru next week.

Overall, i am not too worried but a bit sad that we choose to switch off and let them have control in the 2nd half. Let's make things right next week and kick them like we did to bayern last year.

Rio's out for sure, so are Vidic and Silvestre.
Neville may come back

It' s a pitty of the last goal, but it is still very possible to qualify and we will do it.

forza Milan!!

Ferdinand should be still unavailable ... same goes for Vidic, I believe.
Neville is expected to make it but there is nothing certain about it ... even if he does, he's been out for a long time - more than a month, I think - so he would most probably be rusty and not in his best shape.

Pleaseeeee get Pippo ready for San Siro, or we WILL NOT WIN.
Im so mad now, there is like 20 people sending me SMS's about our loss....

look at this.

To whoever created that image: Get a life.

I thought the last substitution cost as the game.We needed someone with pace to come in ,instead he brings on Guorcoff.
Don't blame the players, they did their best,but the Milan directors need to understand that you can't compete year in year out against English sides that are able to spend £40million on transfers every summer.
We need to up our transfer budget or else play second fiddle.

We'll just have to hope the fans are allowed to support the team properly at the san siro ... making it as intimidating as possible.
