Look at all the coincidences that have come up between now and when we last won a CL.

1. The CL final is going to be played in Athens, And we won it in 94 when it was also staged in Athens.

2. We have to go through the 3rd qualifying round to get to the CL, just like in 02/03.

3. It's a world cup year just like in the 62/63, 89/90, 93/94 and 02/03 competitions.

4. The first goal scored in our 02/03 campain was an Inzaghi goal

5. Our first game of the 02/03 campain was won 1-0 and the first leg was also played at home.

6. The year before our win in 02/03 a spanish club won the CL (Real Madrid), this time the current holders are Barca.

I don't want to jinx anything by posting this, maybe it's just all bull and we won't even make it into the competition at all this year, but after the WC and all the other coincidences that happened with Italy, ie. the match fixing scandals back home, the 1-1 draw friendly with switzerland just like in 82, that every 12 years Italy reach the final and once they win it the other time they lose it myth, and all the other coincedences, I'm starting to believe that they do mean something.

And considering the hell they put us through to let us play in the competition, and the big hurdle we overcame with the trail and our name being dragged though the mud and all I just have this feeling that this just might be our year.

So let's see if there is a reason for all these coincidences or as I said before this is all just crap and I wasted 15 minutes of my life writing this for nothing, but I just have this feeling that this is our year, just like the feeling that I had with Italy

Hmm, I am still a massive admirer of Capello. Most of all, he cans till cut it, he gets results everywhere. Here at Milan, remeber, Athens itself in 94 was the scene of our 4-0 hammering of Barca. He won the SPanish league, even took Roma to Serie A. I still think he is the best manager in the world. Just as real looked to be sliding off the side of the European mountain, they found a foothold. Since then, Capello has already steadied them up and prepared them well for resuming their ascent of the summit with all his exclelent signings.

I reckon he'll win either the CL or La Liga. hopefully its La Liga. And one day, I hope he returns here.  I only wish they'd given him the England job!

Yes I remember the 4-0 trashing, who could forget, but you have to admit that he isn't what he used to be during his Milan days.

If I would have to put money on it I think he would win La Liga and not the CL, he knows how to begin a season with full gear and not lose once, it's at the end when he sometimes loses it, like last season, Juve where in shambles.

Plus Barca don't usually start the season that good so I think he will get a grip on the title in the begining of the season, but I'm sure he won't win his head to heads with Barca because Rijkaard will out smart him everytime, just like Carlo did with us when we played Juve, and the reason why this will happen is because he hasn't got any fresh ideas, it's always the same 4-4-2 and the same tactics, he has already hinted that he will be playing that formation next year.

And we've seen what he has been doing in the CL KO rounds. Juve have twice been humiliated by English teams who are supposedly inferior to Juve, I just don't see him winning the CL again
