Well good to see you here. Usually Milan have problems playing against the so-called smaller teams. Considering that Portsmouth is by no way small, I expect MIlan to actually win! (Note: Milan drew Cagliari, the bottom team, last weekend).
I expect a draw in Portsmouth and (if there is a return game?) a win at San Siro! |

No Jeff, there is no return game ... just 2 home games & 2 away games.
Portsmouth are as unpredictable as Milan are right now, some good results & performances mixed in with some disappointing ones. I saw Portsmouth's 2nd leg against Vitoria Guimaraes and Johnson & Traore stood out with the pace and width they offered. Traore in particular ran himself into the ground. I'm still not convinced by their central midfield at the moment, that'll need to improve against the hustle of Flamini, Ambrosini & Gattuso. If we can stop the crosses to Crouch and hope our flair/front players turn up, then we have a good chance to win. Hopefully it'll be a good game and on UK tv too

Yeah he's pretty handy, though his final ball is sometimes quite poor. Seeing as Portsmouth are playing him at LW, he could maybe play there for Arsenal in front of Clichy. Though maybe that's for the future.

No Jeff, Crouch left Liverpool last season... he's at Portsmouth.

Ok then it'll be a much harder game against Portsmouth then.

So the top 2 teams qualify for the next round? will it be another group stage or knock off rounds?
I think UEFA cup is much longer than CL ! |

Popeye39 nice to have you here. I do expect Milan to have a rough game away at Portsmouth but I also expect shuffled Milan for all UEFA games, so that will help Portsmouth as well.
