You wouldn't want to be in Greece too, believe me !! Have fun in that baptism (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But really ... it can't be at the same time exactly ... you will find a way to see that match I'm sure of that !!


Not in PES ... we're really playing Inter on Saturday !!

So the big game. I hope my cable providers broadcast it on the sports channel or I will go down there and shoot them, they seem to have an obsession for EPL and Lazio matches (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I won't try to predict anything, because we will lose if I do so I'm shutting up about this one.

Seedorf will probably be MOM in this match since he always steps up a few notches against big teams, but his hornes come out against Inter and Juve mostly (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif) . You could see him prepareing for it in the Chievo match, he was definately better in that match.

I think the best line up for this one would be:

Cafu--Nesta--Maldini--Janku
--Gattuso--Pirlo--Seedorf--
-------------Kaka------------
-------Oliveira--Pippo-------

If Carlo comes up with the Gila Pippo thing again I will kill him. We need to exploit all there weeknesses and it's definately their defence, Oli and Kaak's pace will kill them, and Pippo better get back into the game in this one, we need his goals.

When Milan bought Oli I kept hearing from La Liga fans that Oli like to score in derbies and against big teams, so lets hope that he keeps his tradition (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

i like the line-up most of you have, so i think this is gonna be an exciting game us winning 2 - 0 Oli and Pippo both scoring. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

oh and don't get me all emotional on billy and paolo, it's not time for that yet.

Seedorf will score ... and so will Oli I think !!

AC Milan starts crucial period against city rival Inter in Serie A


MILAN, Italy (AP) -AC Milan starts what may be the most important few days of its season in daunting style Saturday - against Serie A leader and city rival Inter Milan.

With four wins, three draws and a loss, 12th-place Milan would be third in the league but for an eight-point penalty for its role in Italy's match-fixing scandal.

However, a reduction or cancellation of the penalties is anticipated because the Italian Olympic Committee's arbitration board - the highest body in Italian sports justice - is expected to rule before Tuesday on appeals by Milan and three other clubs.

"On the field, we are third,'' Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "It's a very important week for Milan's season.''

Inter has 18 points and leads on goal difference over Palermo, which is at Fiorentina on Sunday. AS Roma is third with 14 points.

Milan has won two of the past four league meetings against Inter, with one loss and one draw. Apart from last season, when Inter was awarded the Serie A title as the highest-placed team not implicated in the match-fixing scandal, Inter last finished higher than Milan in 2003.

However, Inter is in form - despite sending struggling striker Adriano home to Brazil on Tuesday for a week's break following a seven-month goal drought.

A 2-1 victory over Spartak Moscow in the Champions League and Wednesday's 4-1 rout of Livorno have restored confidence after a run of lackluster results.

"We're on top of the table and we want to stay there,'' Inter defender Fabio Grosso said.

Inter forward Alvaro Recoba will be missing because of a calf injury, but striker Hernan Crespo, who played for AC Milan on loan last season, will return following a pulled hamstring and is expected to start alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"Milan is the team that can't afford to lose on Saturday,'' Crespo said. "That said, it's still a match between title rivals, even though they started with an eight-point penalty.''

Milan has relied upon defenders Marek Jankulovski and Kakha Kaladze for its only two goals in its past three games. Strikers Filippo Inzaghi and Ricardo Oliveira haven't scored in Serie A since the season-opener against Lazio and Alberto Gilardino hasn't scored for the club for six months.

"The forwards are going through a 'no' period. But they will unblock themselves,'' Ancelotti said.

Kaka: Derby worth six points

Kaka has talked up the importance of this weekend’s Milan derby. “This game is worth six points,” declared the Brazilian.

The Rossoneri returned to winning ways in the midweek round, earning a 1-0 win away at Chievo after a series of draws and the shocking defeat to Palermo over the weekend.

“This is a very important match – we are motivated to do well,” said Kaka on Thursday, chatting with his supporters on the club’s website.

“I think this derby is worth six points, seeing as if we win we earn three points and they lose three points as well. We want to do all we can to stop our main rivals.

“We still believe that we can do well in the Serie A and we are also concentrating on the Champions League, because it remains a special title for a football player.

“However, the championship also has its special charm this year,” continued the 24-year-old.

“I must admit that we are not enjoying much luck at the moment – we have created many opportunities in the past few matches and were not able to score.

“I don’t believe that the World Cup influenced our performances, but the fact that we have a match scheduled every three days would cause problems to any team.

“Milan are a winning side, they proved this in the past and I am sure they will prove it again in the future – I have no doubts about this,” concluded Kaka.

The Rossoneri are currently in the bottom half of the Serie A standings due to their eight-point Calciopoli deduction, and 11 points adrift of their neighbours.

Inter are currently sitting on top of the table along with surprise package Palermo, after they both won last night.

Oh , im afraid there is no escape for me my friend... After the baptism the whole family is going to a restaurant . And god knows when I'll be watching Milan's winning game highlights (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) probably at 01.00 at night (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

if we lose our scudetto hopes (if left) are over !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Yep totally agree on that.

any chance of Gourcuff playing!!?? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

maybe. he already started training with the others yesterday

Hmm, even if Gourcuff is ready, i don't think we can let him play in this serious game, i think he has lost form because of this injury, and anyways it is better to play Seedorf in these major games.

Yep... He just got back... We don't want to risk him or the game... Maybe as a sub? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Do not say that too loud... you know... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And yes, obviously, I agree. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Oh my, the match is at the same hour at the Porto x Benfica. So no broadcast down here. Probably 2 hours later... I'll need a stream or something. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
