UCL SF 1st Leg: Manchester United vs. Milan

I have the same dream over and over and over again, every single night.

It says the score line at Old Trafford

Manchester United 0 - 3 AC Milan. Im not even joking, kinda weird eh?

Thats not actually as far fetched as it sounds, Utd's defence has been decimated recently, against Sheffield we didnt have 1 of our first choice available and ended up with 2 reserve midfielders at fullback and an 18 year old youth player on standby. Hopefully VDS, Rio, Evra and maybe Neville will be back for Milan but none of them will be 100%

Stez, they would have to be 200% to be able to stop us..and u kno this

Oh and Milancelotti, may your dreams come tru!!!

I hope not! Milan isnt the best team in keeping 3-goal leads, I prefer winning by a goal or even drawing with 2 goals so our boys keep their heads up in the second leg.

I left a post for you yesterday in the Gila thread. If you haven't seen it yet, you might like it.

I have a similar yet slight different attitude than you have. I always hope for the best, but also with zero expectation. So if the case happens that we lose, I'm not disappointed and also feel we can and will do better the next time around. If not, perhaps the next time around. Those times which we do hit the summit above the skies, I hold it dearly and savor the moment with the full expectation that perhaps our stay there might not be long. I try to enjoy the low points as well as the high points of this team's story. Remember that Milan is not only a football club, but also a great STORY that much is yet to be read, seen, or told. Who knows what will happen in the next chapter? Just know this... the STORY goes on and a great one it is.

FORZA MILAN!

Kui, you're my man!! I was pesimistic myself at the beginning of this season in our team ( that's why i looked for comfort in MM). I even thought not to watch the game. (me... who is absent watching the game only less than two handful fingers for almost twelve years...( well, whenever they were broadcasted, even if they were not, I watch the other game to find out the result. (we have Serie A in Indonesia and topchart usualy broadcasted live)) and suddenly ONLY this season my stats doubled). I was pessimistic for Milan second legs in muenchn and tried to look for comfort here, when I saw more pessimistic fans than me. That's the time when I said to my self to stand up and face whatever the result is. Milan is better than a lost in Muenchen, or even Final Cl. They are Milan. I couldn help it. I am a fan, a freak or whatever you call it.
Whenever they play their game, if they can face their opponent, so do i as the fan. I remember when Milan won their scudetto with zacheroni. At that time we got beaten by Fiorentina 5-0. When we got 3-0, my friend already left it and I was tempted to turn off the TV, but the feeling that some other people do this and how could i call my self a fan if i can't bear it, made me stay and watched the game until the very end. The Pool game made me piss off for almost more than a month. It did like some one took your heart out when you're still alive. I kept wondering, how did that happen, or am i dreaming.... But the picture of Maldini looking sad on the pitch ... brings back my sanity... This is only the price I should pay for being a milanista.
I did have my gloomy moments as a fan. When we were accused for Moggiopoli.. It got me mixed up. (Thanks to you MM, I stay). Right now... I do feel anxious and excited for the game. All of your analysa and theory and comments, made me like that even more. But... what can I say.. I'am only a fan... Let's hope for the best... And even if we lost (God forbid!) we are still Milan...

Forza Milan

i dont know why but im a bit more confident about the man utd game more than ne game in the last few yrs.. i like the fact that they are the favourites and we play home 2nd leg..

and btw i think u misunderstood..i wasnt sayin we will bring back the CL but im saying i hope so and we should so for those reasons..we certainly are second to no one, we have what it takes.. i just hope on that certain day Lady Luck doesn't stand against us..

LOL! LIAR! LOL!
They've finally played up to your expectation and gave you that long awaited glimmer of hope. Of course you and I know that can change on a whim.
Lady Luck may be what it is. I see it more so as a trend and my instincts tell me that since March, it was wise to "go long" on Milan. If there was a convergence of right place and right timing, nothing could have been more dramatic and beautiful as what we are witnessing right now. YES... nothing is for sure. I know that. Yet I'll always keep that belief alive that we are the 2007 UEFA Champion's League winners.

I hope hitmannq8 that you havent written your 1-off post. More is sure to come!

FORZA MILAN!

Thanks Friend! I'm quite flattered.
MM is made up of quite a diverse group of people and opinions. Sometimes we may read things that we dont like. Yet every opinion whether we like them or not makes this site what it is... WONDERFUL!
Glad you found us here. May your stay here be long! Just keep in mind of the rules and not to break them.
Thanks for choosing MilanMania!

FORZA MILAN!

And, you guys are - gasp - actually CIVIL to each other! Case in point, I read the VT shooting thread here yesterday. In contrast, we had to close ours twice.

And match threads here are CERTAINLY better to read than other places. So much whining elsewhere.

Do I detect a GROUP HUG, you guys?

Anyone going to see the game live? And more importantly, anyone planning on going to the second-leg at the San Siro?

Milan x Barcelona.

Maldini was there as a youngster and won his 3rd CL.
