Cant wait for this now, Fergie is gambling with bringing Vidic and Ferdinand straight back into the starting line up!!!
I fancy a 2-2 draw which will see us go through!
Maldini out is a big blow for them, and looking at there home form in europe this year gives us great encouragment:
Milan 0-2 Lille ( a team we beat home and away in the last 16)
Milan 0-0 Celtic ( well after 90 minutes anyway won 1-0 after extra time)
Milan 2-2 Munich
Not the best at home so maybe that gives us hope.
Utd 2-1 ;)
Man U will get their hearts crushed at the San Siro.
Hopefully, the Milan Gaffer wont be foolish and take Gatuso off so bloddy early this time ::**
2-0 Milan 8)
No chance we dont score ill have a wager with you we will score.Quote:

have a cc for getting it spot on, to be honest i ruled with my heart rather than my head, but i think away in Europe Fergie is a little clueless, we got totally fucked over tonight and that should not be happening to a team of our quality, but i just dont get fergies cautious tactics away in europe?? it baffles me were not comfortable with it and the results of the last few years proves it, we could of played that game for 5 days running and not scored, and this is the same team that averages nearly three goals a game in the best league in europe?? I thought Fergie said we are going to go out atacking win or loose?? When we play away in europe the midfield play far to deep and that results in balls being pumped upto the lone striker who has four men round him and the nearest united player is 40 yards away??? I also think we miss a leader like a Keane Gerrard or Terry, to rally us in these big games, but if you look at our away record in europe since we won it 8 years ago it is very poor and i feel the tactics we use is all wrong.Quote:

Utd were totally shut out by Milan and never got into the game,was bang up for an all English final too >:mad
The Police in Athens are supposed to be on strike on the day of the final with Wembley being touted as the first choice replacement ;)

Andy Gray alluded to it in commentary on how Wayne Rooney was Isolated by Nesta and the other Centre Half which allowed the 2 wing backs of Milan to bomb forward allnight exposing the underbelly of a hesitant united backfour.
Gattuso and Kaka just make me wish i was born in Milan , Milan did what United what united normally do to others ! Seedorf and Kaka just ran things all day long .
Ronaldo was a big letdown , personally i think he's overated as a team player as an individual he's one of the very best but as a team player he needs to do more !
How many times does Ronaldo shoot instead of squaring it to a better placed teammate especially in Europe ?
I know quick feet and running at people sets the mood of a team and fans love it but sometimes he just needs to play a 10 yard simple ball inside instead of trying to go it alone , last night he was frustrated he'll learn in time that the margins in Europe are alot smaller than the hustle and bustle of the Premiership !
I've seen it so many times United lose momentum when he goes on a jinking run that ends with a throw in !
