Ladies, the stats are in! And they make for some pretty interesting read about the history:

exactly, its a copy/paste text!

Sorry boys!!

INTER: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Samuel, Chivu, Santon; Zanetti, Cambiasso, Muntari, Stankovic; Ibrahimovic, Adriano.
MILAN: Abbiati, Zambrotta, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Beckham, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf, Ronaldinho, Pato

Exactly as i expected!

No Flamini in the left side of the midfield. expect Janku to have a difficult night...

that's built to destroy!

Seriously, what kind of a ******* midfield is that?

No surprises.

Need a GREAT perfromance from Milan today, Forza Milan!

QUACK ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how long till the match?

16 minutes

I can't believe how quite this thread is...

Just like the last derby... I remember only around 6 people were online!

Like zd said, it's a good sign...

<Grasping at straws... >

I'm actually kind of nervous... Well... That's new...

I don't like our defense.. but that's nothing new. Hopefully Ronaldinho can create some magic.

I'm sure this thread will explode soon - it is the most important match of the season thus far...

Julio Cesar has been in another stratosphere this season, so we'll have that to deal with today.

maybe, because everyone is too nervous!!!

Ronaldinho and Pato the only players under 30 for us...

What is the Curva Sud trying to show/say?

Maldini and Zanetti

We're old ...

well, I would be even more nervous if i wouldn't know what's going on....

FORZA MILAN

hope we'll win, but won't be easy...

Awful defending!

OHHH

BAD BAD BAD defending!!!

Ibra left alone to take the header, bad miss from him though

LOL at Kaladze... nice marking there...

The last thing I want is a closeup of Abbiati on my screen. Yuck.

kaladze

Kaladze again giving away free headers jesus

Why is Kaladze even continuing to start, anyway?

Haha! Maldini with a roulette!!

Janku

Anyone else see the banner from the cugini fans? (rough translation: Malidni - Our rival for 20 years, but a gentleman always.)

Egad, shades of 2005 all over again. Too bad this time they were off target.

Muntari just FLOORS Becks there.

Nice from the Inter fans!!

Flares agains

Beckham I like how cool he sometimes is

Ahh...

Well they are capable of doing something honourable

Let's see how long that lasts, already they're throwing flares onto the pitch...

we're playing good! that's surprising

Oh Zambro with a nice overhead kick

Comfortable for Cesar though

I swear, Zambro's profile looks just like Favalli's.

Pato looks really up for it

Pato overdribbles and comes up empty.

First corner for Inter

This is where they'll kill us, the set-pieces

Pato is nervous. he better get rid of it... he just needs to play his usual game.

Muntari just shot that into Row Z.

Our marking so far has been atrocious

This is going to get ugly real quick if we don't improve that

We got lucky when Abs fell on his can earlier and Inert didn't capitalize.

One of the San Siro sponsors is now Herbalife...gee, I wonder why.

INTER-MILAN: LE FORMAZIONI UFFICIALI
-
MILANO - Così Inter e Milan in campo alle 20.30 allo stadio di San Siro:
INTER: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Samuel, Chivu, Santon; Zanetti, Cambiasso, Muntari, Stankovic; Ibrahimovic, Adriano.
MILAN: Abbiati, Zambrotta, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Beckham, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf, Ronaldinho, Pato.

Pato gets hipchecked by Adriano, who must outweigh him by 25 pounds.

Damn, Inter got back on defense REALLY fast to close up the open field for Pato.
