I don't trust too much the given formations 2 days before the game ... the only formation to believe is the one on Saturday evening or even Sunday.

OCMilano, you asked for it, you will receive it !! Here we go !!

1st - Inter (54 pts)
2nd - Roma (47 pts)
3rd - Milan (45 pts) -1
4th - Napoli (39 pts)
5th - Sampdoria (39 pts)
6th - Juventus (38 pts)
7th - Palermo (37 pts)
8th - Cagliari (35 pts) -1
9th - Genoa (35 pts)
10th - Bari (32 pts)

20/02/10 - 18:00
Genoa - Udinese

20/02/10 - 20:45
Inter - Sampdoria

21/02/10 - 15:00
Palermo - Lazio
Cagliari - Parma
Bologna - Juventus
Roma - Catania
Siena - Napoli

21/02/10 - 20:45
Bari - Milan

I expect huge things this W-E !! Yeah, yeah, tomorrow is going to be the start of the end for Inter !!

- I think Sampdoria will draw with Inter ...
- Roma should win its game against Carania, and if they do, they will be back at -5 from Inter (if we follow the first prediction) !!
- I don't care about the others ...
- We'll have a tough game against a very motivated team (their stadium will be full !! So we can be sure that there will be a big ambiancy and that's excellent for Serie A, for Bari, and even for us to play in a stadium with supporters, even if they are not for us) and I expect a very difficult 2-1 win ... to be back at -7 from Inter with our game in hand, so potentially -4 !!

There will be the Roma-Inter game soon and as a consequence, we MUST have good results before that game because it could be the turn of the season !!

This is pathetic. AC Milan match again on SUNDAY League Football matches are most enjoyable on Saturdays

TV money my dear. Silvio's brain goes on, only then when he see €€€€€€

Italian football is traditionally played on Sundays. Honestly I prefer them on sundays.

Anyways. There is a good chance Inter will drop points, so we can narrow down the gap. On top of that we also have one game less played, albeit versus a very tough team.

I hope we carry with us some of the spirit shown against Manchester, we did a good game and created loads. But there is a chance that the (undeserved, imho) defeat was a heavy blow to our morale. Please let that not be the case.

Bari is a tough team. Inter weren't able to defeat them in either of their games. They gave us a hard time in the home leg, although it was during one of our worse moments of the season. Furthermore, they are really good at home.

What I would like to see:

--------------Abbiati
Bonera - Nesta - Thiago (?) - Janku
----Flamini - Pirlo - Ambrosini
---------- Pato ---- Dinho
---------------Hunter

Gazzetta however says Abate will play as RB, Gattuso instead of Flams, and Borri instead of Hunter. But they are usually wrong with such a distance from the game. And it usually changes every few hours.

Don't watch, then.

Serie A football always was on sundays... I like it this way!!

I hope to see flamini in this one

I want Flamini and Inzaghi on this one, because of reasons I wrote in Manchester thread, but he way Leonardo is thinking at the moment, that is fantasy football...

I am just praying that Mancini would not become a joke when we looked back in May; I actually was hopeful when we signed him (yes, I knew it would be a gamble), but things do not seem to look too rosy right now.

And Seedorf? Where did you hear about that? Are we maybe saving him for the game in three weeks?

If I remember correctly, years ago, all Serie A games were played on Sundays, one at night, all the other in the afternoon. At least now you could get some Saturday games.

You should consider yourself lucky.

I like Sunday game too. I guess I am just used to it. Had I supported EPL team, maybe I would have liked Saturday ones?

It must be the force of habit.

Seedorf is indeed out on Sunday. Apparently he wasn't 100% fit during the ManU match.

----------ABBIATTI---------
-Abate--nesta-Thiago-Bonera-
------Flamini----Ambrosini---
------------Pirlo------
---Pato----------Dinho-----
----------Hunter----

If Flamini is so bad, sell him! He is a player that can proove himself if he is given a fair chance, but he is not. Aguess wages money talks in Milan.

Bonera as LB?

As much as I have nightmares of Favalli and don't think Janku is up to par, maybe Bonera isn't the right guy for the job. Playing on the flank is already somewhat unnatural to him (although he has done quite well, and I believe he was employed there in his Parma days), wouldn't putting him on his wrong flank worsen things?

Bonera has played on the left for Milan before, I think it was the year when Billy retired. Anyway Leo has to, HAS TO play Flamini, I can't believe a player like Falmini 26 years old is on the bench.

Leo get your **** togheter and lets win this match.
