Nope....but I'm hoping for a repeat of 2006....


- Poor form in lead up.
- Most people writing us off.
- Going to play a team no English team has beaten at home before.

Lets hope the similarities don't end there...

I was thinking the same thing, it's possible but it is a hard fucking task, look how manure got taken apart over there last year.

I am the ultimate optimist eh ?

Im not the most confident person, but im praying that the last ditch goal from nick will give us a ray of hope over there, i wanna walk out of that stadium and be proud of the teams performance, but my fear is another OT performance in the cup :( come on boys make us proud!

p.s where is everyone heading for before the game?

Theo can be a major threat I think, introduce him off the bench, just not as late as the last time. His pace against the tired and aging legs of Milan's defence is definitely one of our best chances.

I think the player we'll really miss though is Rosicky. I think this would be his sort of game.

Agreed, we have been missing the creativity of RVP and Rosicky recently and from the left Diaby just does not do it for me.

He's not a left sided player. Plain and simple.

I know it is obvious but defence is the key. I fancy Ade to get his 1st CL goal but all depends on not letting Kaka et al get in there. We need a tight first half and look to hit on the break as they go looking for a goal.

I am heading out of Gatwick 7am and straight to Piazza Castilla then take it from there. Best bet for booze is the irish bars or go for a long meal!

Can't wait let get it on!

I'm flying out with club on Tue morning from Gatwick but looks like I'm going to have to sort out my tickets when I get there cos club lost them. So once that sorted then I can have a few drinks.
Wish we had a bit of form going there but we aint so lets all pray for a bit of luck.
