Twente parking the bus like always? I can't remember the last time they did that.

They're extremely defensive, probably not like really parking the bus, but you know,they won't attack that's for sure. I've seen them play conservative against shitty league clubs and expect them to play even more defensive today.

A,lready step ahead of you... been bumping it on repeat in office.




Try when you wake up tomorrow morning and are going thru your morning routine of making breakfast, coffee, whatever listening to this. You'll feel like a king. Literally, regal


I feel like Seedorf has to listen to this daily. Thats why he walks around with such dignity, amour-propre if you will

To see Milan vs Carlos Chelsea come next May at Wembley is the dream right now. The prospect of seeing Drogba pitted against TSilva and Ibra/Pato vs Terry and Seedorf/Pirlo vs Lampard/Essien is very mouthwatering

Senatore_M84 said:

thats not mouth watering... seeing ramires, essien, lampard, mikel v. milan midfield gives me nightmares.


it's literally WORST match up possible. By far most physical team

I think bursaspor vs valencia would also be a pretty damn good game. Remember the last turkish - spanish battle i saw. It was Sevilla vs Fenerbache. Amazing game

On the contrary it should be a great final. Your right, physically it would be a difficult match but nonetheless it should be very entertaining, all pressure on them to achieve their first CL, we would be underdogs in their backyard. To beat them there would be the sweetest dream. We could beat them with our fully fit squad. As it is you should not be afraid and accept it that there is a good chance that this season at some point we will face them.

What happened to your 'Confidence to the max. Like Warriors' ? Games like these will test whether we truly warriors this season or not. I would certainly welcome the challenge, so would Dinho who loves to play against them but i guess our opinions differ.

Chelsea are just not a team i'd wanna draw. Granted there defense is worst it's been since abramovich took over. Cech isn't what he was....Terry isnt the player he was, Carvahlo is gone and Alex isn't near as good. RB is a rotating issue. Cole is still class though.

I'd want to draw spanish team, barca particularly. Not only cause it'd be an entertaining match up. I think it's a) favorable and b) I HATE the media boner towards them when I thin Milan could easily take them.

I also don't hate chelsea cause of Carlo and thats no fun. I want to dislike the opponent.

As i said, our opinions differ, i wouldn't want Barca in the final because they will run the rule over possession and our midfield and attack wont be able to harm them unless we break on the counter, which in our case would come late in the second half with robinho on or something. It would be one-sided and no fun in that.

For example, Dani Alves will maraud his way past an occupied Antonini (Messi) and rape us, Xavi and Iniesta will rape us in the midfield unless a slow duo Ambro and Pirlo have the best game of their lives. Even then i feel they would dominate us and that wouldn't be fun to watch.At least that is my opinion, i wouldn't mind anyone else who evenly matches up to us.

PS Inter proved that to beat Barca one needs to use counter-attacking. We dont have a wing-back like Maicon nor do we have killer DMs to stop Xavi from orchestrating, just maybe Ambro.

Say that to Kaka. He practically wanked himself silly at United's atmoshphere after the first leg

Said something like you could hear this roar he's never heard before at half time, even though we were 2-1 down.

The Champions League anthem is immense though. Always gives me goosebumps.

Senatore_M84 said:

you really think xavi and iniesta have more ability to bully milans midfield than ramires, lampard, essien!?

Milan can play posession just as well. The slow duo is just as quick as the barcas players. I wouldn't define speed as a defining attribute of xavi or iniesta. Technique, certainly, intelligence yes. NOT athleticism or speed.


Milan THRIVES in open games where you can pass. Not against physical teams. Ex. Last year teams that cause problems... inter, man utd. Teams that did not- roma, real madrid, fiorentina
