Finally, a bit of an English touch to a match thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) You and Kurt rarely open them!

Anyway, I can safely say this is going to be the match of the season up till now as far as high-profile and knockout matches go. Half of that is because it is the second leg, half of it is because we seem to have made a mess out of the home leg by giving away the away goal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Whoever scores first will hold the key. Fingers crossed for a good 90 minutes, and 90 just. A two or three goal beating should put Spurs in their place. But for that to happen every player will need to give his 100%.

Match of the season? Hm, I don't think the club gives as much consideration to the CL as it gives to the Serie A. I'd say the match of the season will be the coming derby.

Thank god we have the Bari game in-between to catch our breath. Oh, and between Palermo and the derby I think there's a 2-week gap due to national teams.

Allegri will wipe out all the brownie points he earned from the Napoli match, if we get dumped out of the CL by Spurs. I kid you not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

True, but the club should not take the Bari match as a bit of a breather. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Complacency at that stage (a draw or a loss) will wipe off all the good work if we do show up in the bigger matches. Oh, how I would have liked a 6-8 points cushion if not more, that was there at the start of the year.

Match of the season in terms of hype and glamor (due to it being a knockout CL clash). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) In terms of everything else nothing would top the the 6-pointer derby. Agreed. We have to win that one by any way possible (just like we did Napoli in), otherwise I sense we'll be seeing the title decided on the last match-day.

Same here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Though Nesta already feels like we are practically out of the Champions League. He was quoted in a news story where he said something like this team is built for the domestic league and next season, we may be able to mount a serious challenge to the CL. I agree with him.

If it were anything but Spurs, then it would have been easier to digest the loss (if it came to it). United, Arsenal, Barca, Bayern, heck even the French clubs. But to go out after a home defeat again to an EPL club, ranked 5th, practically new to top flight European football and one that kills both Milan clubs in its first season is a tad too much to swallow. I personally think we will win, but there is as much of a chance to go out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 50-50 thanks to Allegri and his quest for the home goal after the 80th minute.

You are at home, could not score for the bulk of the match, what good is a goal in the dying minute do that giving away a vital away (pun always intended) goal to a pacey EPL team is worth it.

Provided we qualify, March 18. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I kind of make it a point watching these draws live on TV, it's good fun!

If nothing bad happens during this week, we should take the field with the following formation:

Abate -- Nesta -- Thiago -- Emanuelson

-- Flamini -- Seedorf -- Boateng

-- Pato -- Ibra -- Robinho

Agreed, except for Urby at LB, who cannot even play in the CL btw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) he doesn't really give me any confidence at LB. Janku or Zambro (if fit) should ge the start

Boateng might be out for about 10 days, they said on Milan Channel. He left the stadium on crutches and his ankle is rather swollen. I'm guessing we'll be forced to play Thiago-Flamini-Seedorf-Robinho in midfield at this point. At any rate, I don't expect us to win. Too many injuries/absences.

Come on, it wasn't intentional. Melo himself was limping till the HT.

I'm surprised that Boateng returned to the game though. if he had requested for a sub right away, maybe his ankle would be in a better shape now.
