I thought the match was due Sunday, I was OVER EXCITED for it to be on Sunday..why? Because I would technically finish my Government Exams because all I will have left is English, which is a 99% or 100% guaranteed (according to our english teacher at school).

But now, the match is on Saturday, so I wont be able to watch the match because i'd have to study for my exam on sunday

Forza Milan, We want Revenge! Lets hope Dida's net wont accept goals.

Kaka will sure be on the scoreboard

 

It's the time in the season where every game is a must win game and against a team like sampdoria it is going to be very hard. However our home form this season is amazing so I am full of confidence.
This fixture is a repeat of my first ever live milan game, which I attended last year, and so will always be a bit special for me. I plan on going down to Bar Italia in London and watching the game, and am thoroughly looking forward to it.
Anyway Forza Milan! I have a good feeling about this game.

 

Since Diavolo has not opened a match thread for the upcoming match against Sampdoria, and given that my first trip to San Siro, plus my first and only match thread opened in the Milan forum, have both resulted in wins for us :devil: I hope I can keep up with my winning record by starting another match thread :hopefull:

PS: It's the first day of Chinese New Year this Sunday, so I wish 象王殿下Jonathan (Elephant King), 老佛爺 (aim) and all Chinese XT Milanisti a Happy Chinese New Year

米足豐盛迎新春
蘭花茂開福滿門
萬事如意行財運
歲歲平安步高昇

新年快樂! arty:

so we know who to blame if we don't get the 3pts,and it won't be the defence or Ancelotti.

Will be a tough encounter,Samp are like a thorn at times,good team,versatile and well organised,but we need to keep the form,a clean sheet will help,sorry Walter but we have to roll you.

Happy New Year Gen and all milanisti.

 

In underling the fact that indeed Il Genio has indeed an immacuate average In taking as a fact that his utmost certainty upon a win is apparently well shared among the rest of the members as the indeed limited number of posts within this thread testimony, that I have nothing to add that snow has reached 70 cm :eekani: and obviously our winning strike in San Siro, both this season as vs Samp in the last couple of seasons, could be considered something to worry about :stress:

Possible lineups:
Milan (4-4-2): 1 Dida, 2 Cafu, 13 Nesta, 4 Kaladze, 27 Serginho, 8 Gattuso, 21 Pirlo, 20 Seedorf, 22 Kaka`, 9 Inzaghi, 7 Shevchenko (16 Kalac, 31 Stam, 14 Simic, 26 Vogel, 10 Rui Costa, 11 Gilardino, 18 Jankulovsky) . All.: Ancelotti.

Sampdoria: 21 Antonioli, 77 Zenoni, 15 Sala, 14 Castellini, 26 Pisano, 34 Diana, 4 Volpi, 17 Palombo, 7 Gasbarroni, 9 Bazzani, 10 Flachi. All. Novellino (1 Castellazzi, 32 Pavan, 13 Kutuzov, 29 Mingozzi, 11 Marchesetti, 27 Colombo, 88 Foti). All: Novellino


Forza Milan :heart:

P.S. Happy New Year :thumbsup:

 

Carlo would never use BOTH Sergio and Cafu as WB's




And thanks for clarifying yourself on MM, DM.. I got too excited

 

Carlo would never use BOTH Sergio and Cafu as WB's
(

In my first ever trip to San Siro, and possibly the first and only time I've seen Ancelotti fielding both Cafu and Sergio as starters, we easily whipped Udinese 5-1


PS: Grazie Don 盧謙諾 & 保羅 :shades:

 

so we know who to blame if we don't get the 3pts,and it won't be the defence or Ancelotti.

By starting another match thread, I'm putting my so far 100% record ever since I've registered on XT on the line. With all due respects to Walter and Samp, it's a record I'm not willing to give up yet :hopefull:

 

AFTERNOON TRAINING

MILANELLO - The players were met with around 50cms of snow :eekani: :scared: :eekani: lying on the ground at Milanello but the squad were able to train on the central pitch which has under-soiling heating. They had a twenty-minute warm-up before playing a match. Stam and Cafu also trained with the squad.

Happy Chinese New Year, Genio, aim and all Chinese Milanista.
(Although it's still a day before the Lunear New Year begins)

恭喜發財！
萬事如意！
身體健康！
米蘭萬歲！


Back to the game, I hope Jankulovski could start again, but it looks like Serginho would get the nod again.

And it's definitely a good news if Cafu is back. Now I hope Paolo and Ambro get well soon too. We need Maldini and Ambrosini fit for the Bayern counters.:devil:


FORZA MILAN, tough match but we must prevail.:devil:

:irritate:

Let's hope water polo was part of Ancelotti's training regime the past few days :hopefull:

 

Wow! I haven't posted here for about 20 days and it is almost like a year! The ADSL is not working again at home, and I will not be in touch for some time. I just wish for a good game tonight.

Forza Milan! Milan Campione!

 

Pippo got a start.

Cafu on the bench with Gila and Amoroso

 

Could someone provide updates in the thread? Thanks.

 

1-0 sheva !

Sheva 1-0 13th min

 

looks like it was a shady pk call by de sanctis, not good

 

Volpi seemed careless on that challenge to Inzaghi.

 

Thanks for the updates guys.

 

Gennaro seems to be at his combative best

 

that explains his yellow card

 

Rai are showing the game 8mins in delay here,i'm keeping up with the updates through kataweb.it,it's taking the spontenuity out of it.pooh.
