There is always next year lads It is after all honourable to go out against the Champs.

 

Your right. Keep saying that, when you get knocked out.

 

We played really well against them in the Champions World Series. Then got hit by a last minute goal and lost on penalties. Of course, it is just a friendly.

 

Best of all.....

We'll get to sing the Yip Jaap Stam chant again.

Tickets will be like gold dust though.

 

Doesn't it seem like the pitted all the best teams against eachother in this draw?

I am sure this will be 2 games to remember, regardless of who wins.

 

Should be a cracking tie.

 

thats a cracking avatar

 

I soooo didn't want the German teams p

 

hahaha I just saw it. Great avatar khimik.

 

A mouth watering match. :lick:
Of all the big teams, the only one who has yet to taste Il Diavolo's insatiable appetite is indeed the Devil's little cousin, the Red Devils. :devil: You may be a cousin of the real Devil, but make no mistake. Il Diavolo will have no mercy on its path to its ultimate goal: # 7!:stuckup::devil:

Good luck lads, you'll need a handful of it...

FORZA RAGAZZI!!!:devil:

Cheers.

 

Only the sky knows who wil win this one,it wil be great...

 

Guys any Milan fan planning to go to Manchester? What will be the availability of tickets?

 

We always seem to play well against Italian teams, especially in the last few years. We must brush aside Juventus with ease everytime we meet them . Milan will be a tough nut to crack, we'll need all our players at their very best if we are to advance. If they can't mark Rooney out of the game, we should go through.

It'll be interesting to see how cafu and maldini deal with our quick football and powerful forwards (Rooney and Ruud). I think we have enough to go through, but as i said, only if we play to our best.

They probably play the most defensive brand of "attacking football" i have ever seen but what do you expect from a league that is so defensive? There definately more entertaining than Juve, so both games should be good spectacles.

Yeah, that's why 'defensive' Milan, juve and Roma all scored a lot more goals than ManUre last year

 

Are you refering to goal deficits? they tend to concede alot less

 

Will Fergie be checking under the pasta? :howler:

there is a BIG difference between 'defensive' teams and attacking teams who have four GOOD DEFENDERS - though in the premiership, until maybe chelsea this year, there were no teams with more than one or two good defenders, so I'm used to the confusion.

 

Stam will be fit for this tie by then.

After browsing the forums I sense the Milan fans are confident they will go through. It is almost like they are underestimating the dangers Manchester United can bring to them. They focus on what THEIR team can do, but seem to forget the incredible dangers Man u can pose to them.

They keep focusing on the danger of Shevchenko and how he will slaghter us, and so forth. So one man then ? Shevchenko is a danger yes, but Ronaldo playing on form is devastating. Remember him in euro 2004 ? Then there is Giggs on the other side, who on a good day can cause any defence in the world a headache. What about the threat of Ruud ? He constantly scores in europe and is no doubt one of the best in the world. Or how about if Rooney has a good game ? He is still young but his potential to cause problems can never be underestimated. At the moment being so young his form is in and out, but I suspect for such a big game against Milan, he will be in the right mind set and ready to cause the Milan defence problems.

Truth is both sides are very good, and I know the fact that we have been a little inconsistent this season, I find it interesting that some people would underestimate the potential danger that exists within the Man utd ranks. If our team is on form we can beat anyone, and by a few goals. And yes I do believe that. All I see this season is that we are in transition, but come the day of the Milan games I think if they are all in form we have the potential to score 2 or 3 past Milan at old trafford, but we shall see what kind of form we are in come the day.

Anyhow, glad we got Milan, I have been waiting to meet them since the early 90's! Great club meeting another great club.

I can't speak about the other Milan fans but as far as I am concerned I am not undersestimating anyone,not at all, but still I think we will go through, having in mind recent performance - things don't change overnight

You lot were the last team we wanted to play.
Great clash ahead :devil:

 

I think Milan are better to play then Juventus for you guys, but that is a small consolation, remember European referees won't allow you to kick seven shades of shit out of opponents, so i think your best chance is to pack the midfield and go for a 1-0 win, then go to the San Siro and play counter-attack and nick an away goal.

Small clubs like yours who are out of depth at this stage of the competition perhaps expects to flay footie like that in this competition!

In reality,Milan were one of the least of the Italian teams that i wanted to face.They are an extremely organized side who have a hard working midfield and are effiecient at shutting up shop and getting positive results away from home.Then they have the most dangerous forward in world football who needs only a half chance in a game to get on the scoresheet and Rio and Micky will have their work cut out to keep Sheva out of the game.

Having said that.....Stam and Maldini are not the quickest anymore and one thing that our forwards possess is plenty of pace.Ronaldo and Rooney will undoubtedly cause problems for the likes of Cafu and Maldini and will restrict Cafu's forays down the wings which would take away one of the crucial delivery lines for Milan.We have to ensure that Cafu is busy back defending as much as possible cause milan look their deadliest with the fullback charging up and down the right wing.Ruud will be up against Nesta and that will be a mouth-watering prospect.We will need Keano at his absolute best to keep Kaka under wraps throughout the 180 minutes.

The tie at Old Trafford might see Milan playing on the counter and its imperative that we do not let them get an away goal.Patience should be the name of the game but its only at the majestic San Siro that I believe we will see the best football of the round as Milan come out and start playing their attacking football while its only about going forward for Manchester United.Two mouthwatering encounters between two cracking teams and its should be a spectacle enjoyed by the worldwide audience!
