I'm happy enough. If you gotta play Milan, now is probably the best time...

Cooooooooooooooome on you Gunners!!!

Milan wouldn't be able to cope with our pace for more than 60 minutes at grove. The average age at this team is 33.

O boy i allways wanted to play Milan since years, i can see our team killing the milan's grandpa defence who are arond 40, and their accelerations is

, as about Kaka he is good, but only if he plays the likes of Senderos, as about TURE, GALLAS, 2 fast and 2 fourious CLICHY, SAGNA, and even EBOUE he have no chnace, as for the rest they aint worth notin, look at Italian league this year they are too old.
All i should say is Bay Bay AC Milan.

Well, Kaka is good on the football pitch, there's no doubt about that, but he never played at Flanimal Planet. Let's see how fifa's player of the year, cope with the energy filled Flamini.

By the way, how long do you think it will take Cesc to get it on with Gattuso (not ours Gattuso, the one that plays for Milan)?

no team is easy but my point is that this is prob the worse milan team in a decade so the draw could hav been worse

If Milan lose to us their season is over we are still in four competitions.Yes we can beat them but we must have our strongest starting eleven playing in both games.Come on you Gooners

I cannot believe the knocks milan are taking here - yes they are an old/experienced side that are not going well in serie a but this is their big trophy and in recent years seem to be obsessed with it in a ferguscum kind of way. In some ways they are similar to us in that they have a sub-standard(crap) keeper but how can we write off a team with players of the calibre of kaka,pirlo,gattusso,seedorf and the cheating but prolific goalscorer that is inzagi. Its all very well saying that their back line is ancient but will they be afraid of facing ade,dudu & bedtner ?

I do agree that they are beatable but they are one of the 2 teams that I would prefer to have avoided(along with barca). I 100% believe that wenger has fcuked up and much this round much harder than it needed to be by fannying around in the last 2 matches instead of clinching top spot 1st. Anyway now we have to deal with the draw given to us and hope that in january wenger makes 2 or 3 much needed signings to give our squad a boost for the hopefully busy run in to the end of the season

As was my point; if you definitely, positively, absolutely have to play Milan, now is probably the best time... Milan are still no slouches, but as Reb points out, this is their oldest, weakest team in the last 10 years.

And we avoided Madrid, the Barca Whores, Inter and Lyon.

I agree. We would have had Fenerbahce

And yes I know the draw mihgt have been slightly difeerent if we had been seeded

Oh dear.......AC Milan it is then

This is going to be one hell of a tough draw for us but I am confident that over two legs we can get the better of them provided our first 11 are fit.
