QUOTE (Danny @ Mar 5 2012, 02:47 PM)  A bit like Juve's title challenge. Oh, wait a minute... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) What title challenge? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I think their main aim this season is to see how many games they can draw while still keeping their position in the table. According to their fans all their draws are positive ones as they are still unbeaten. |

Called-up players: Abbiati, Amelia, Roma, Abate, Antonini, Bonera, Mesbah, Mexes, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Yepes, Aquilani, Calvano (n.54), Emanuelson, Innocenti (n.35), Nocerino, Van Bommel, El Shaarawy, Ganz (n.56), Ibrahimovic, Robinho.
No Pippo. QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Mar 5 2012, 10:53 AM) 0-0, maybe 1-0 Arsenal. We'll kill the game early on and not let the fans get behind them and give them that extra push. We'll try to keep possession and slow everything down. +1 QUOTE (han2503 @ Mar 5 2012, 01:45 PM) Did you watch their games against Spurs and Liverpool or just the final scores? Because if not, let me tell you, they were absolutely awful against Liverpool. A huge mess in defence and I still cannot believe how terrible Liverpool are in front of goal, should have been 3-0 up by HT. And against Spurs they were again terrible in defence in the first half. And than for some reason Spurs just collapsed to give them the 2 gaols to level it up. Once they went all out attack, they just invited Walcott to keep running into huge wide open spaces, thus his 2 goals. We don't need to score. All we have to do is let them pass the ball around in meaningless areas and hit them on counter attacks. They're the ones who have to chase the game not us. And if we do get that away goal than it's all over. That's good info. Cheers. |

Well, Pippo isn't registered, why should he be called up?

Probable line-ups:
Arsenal (4-3-3): Szczesny; Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Rosicky, Song, Benayoun; Walcott, Van Persie, Gervinho. Milan (4-3-1-2): Abbiati; Abate, Mexès, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Nocerino, Van Bommel, Emanuelson; El Shaarawy; Robinho, Ibrahimovic. Though it's possible that Allegri might play Mesbah as LCM with Emanuelson as AM. Aquilani could play a handful of minutes, too. Link |

Is this just a simple guess or has he been declared fit? A Song, Rosicky midfield should give us some confidence as that's very lightweight |

QUOTE "We have paid a big cost because we have lost Benayoun (sickness), Diaby (hamstring) and Arteta (head). Arteta has no major problem but he has to rest for a week so he will be available against Newcastle but not Milan."
"We have a few other knocks like Kieran Gibbs (groin and calf) and Rosicky (groin) is doubtful for Tuesday too. We will see. We will put out the best possible team for us to qualify." http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/t...youn-and-arteta |

^ Nice. So who might play instead of Benayoun?

Na, that one was extreme. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There was fuss (on a smaller scale) for the new list as well. So much so that a lot of people believed that it was a given Inzaghi was on his way out. Frankly, I wouldn't have minded seeing him there, even get a chance against Arsenal to score one or two.
Either don't give him a contract extension, or play him when the coast is clear, every now and then, if you do. |

About the second list? Not really. We added Mesbah, El Sha and Maxi. All are more useful at this point than Pippo. The talk about him leaving was during the January transfer window while the list was confirmed on February 1 and there wasn't any fuss about it. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Seriously though, I am not sure what to expect of this ordeal come the summer. I think if Allegri stays (which I am positive he will), then there is little chance of Inzaghi staying. And even by some weird coincidence he gets a contract extension for another year, there's an inch of a chance he'll play. I think it would have been best if Inzaghi retired at the end of 2007 season, after winning the CL and all that. |
