Blissful transience or nail-biting exhilerence?

I am wondering how ye faithful ones o' MILAN are coping with the run up to the final. Are ye suffering with nerves, raging in revenge or soothing in the calm and bliss in knowing that we are in a champions league final yet again?

Let me tell ye that I am both suffering with nerves and enjoying the essence of "finalism".
Let me tell you what this final means to me off the pitch. A few years ago I met a special girl. I could not believe the luck I was granted, and I knew deep down, the relationship would never last. I knew but i didn't stop believing in the opposite. But then the imaginable loss happened. She left me to return to her fiance. What a loss from the jaws of victory. Then two months later the same happened again, in football form. The exact emotions I felt twice ! Oh, what depression. But, now, I have rissen into confidence, the girl has made me strong, i have learnt from my mistakes and now let me redeem myself. Let me cast away my regrets on May 23rd. God bless you all, and let the deserving team win!

Right now it just feels good to be in the finals. Right now it's the most anticipated event for me, and I live in Michigan, where sports teams are doing great. But of course, I dont like the NBA or NHL.

I know once it gets closer to the final, I'm going to get crazy with my nerves, it's going to be great.

It's going to shape the whole year for me. i work with two fanatic pool fans. My local pub where I will watch the final is a huge liverpool following. it's going to be great!
I'm working from 8 to 5;30 on final day in a responsible job in a hospital. God help the patients for there will be many mistakes!

Haha, I have a feeling my school work will dip a bit that day.

Good thing I live on the East Coast and I get out of school right when the game starts.

Hope you won't have to do any stitches or injections that day ... especially if your hands shake with a few nerves

I'm in same situation as Paddy. Surrounded by fans of english teams. Always going on about english football this and that. We shut up man u. Time to shut up liverpool too. FORZA MILAN.

I feel absolutely confident, unlike before the Bayern and MU games.

I am sure I will get cracked up right before the final, but so far I am convinced we are the stronger side.

I'm supremely confident, its our destiny to win in Athens!

I'll be there to see it with the mighty Brigate Rossonere. Can't wait!

Forza BRN Scozia! Forza Milan!

"Relax miss Smith, I'm just going to carefully inject this needle into your retina, it won't hurt.............."GILARDINO 90th minute, RETO!!!!!!!"

I don't think about it. Or try not to. But it's always there in the back of my head. I am angry. Angry for 1993 still. Yeah I know that wasn't Liverpool, but that's allright, they need to pay for it anyway. I'm super angry for 2005, I'm raging, since then Liverpool became Luckypool for me.

Seem they bathe in luck, luck against Beitar Jerusalem this year, they should have gone out in the qualification rounds already... luck against Barcelona, luck against Chelsea... seems they never run out of luck. It makes me more angry. And it scares me, because I'm superstitious, and I saw us loose two CL finals where we basicaly blew the opposition off the field but by some freak of destiny lost twice... it still hurts and I'm angry... I want REDEMPTION and SALVATION on May 23th, nothing more, nothing less. So I can resume living without anger.
