oh man i miss nesta too. It just doesn't feel the same without him in the centre. What a legend.

I know right...A whole season without Nesta...Feels really weird!!!

With Sandro's absence, there's definitely been a gaping hole in this team that a thousand Patos couldn't replace.

Very very true...We must have a good offense but also a good defense...Defense wins games even in Basketball...I remember those days that we scored 1-0 and it will take the other team hell before they scored or didn't even score...Hopefully by next season, that gap would be completely filled

It does!

(Fishdoll oy, now she's gone all cow-eyed and squealy.)

I really really hope we see him playing again.

He can play till 40 i'm sure. If maldini can do it, then why not. Nesta is too good to hang up his boots right now.

I know... I've been hearing similar things about Nesta from Carlo since the start of the season. it's probably the tenth time that Carlo appoints a date (I know it's not his job, but he is the one who holds the press conferences and tells anything about the players' conditions) for Nesta's comeback, and when we reach that date, a new date is appointed. Nesta should've come back on the pitch 7 or 8 times by now.


Is Pato a defender? or Nesta an attacker? what on earth has Pato got to do with Nesta's absence? is he supposed to fill Nesta's empty place?

God...

Very nice name .

I was talking more in terms of intangibles rather than on-pitch action.

No Seedorf in the trequartista role PLEASE for the love of god!!!

My choice would be

(4-3-2-1) Dida-Zambrotta-Maldini-Senderos-Favalli-Beckham-Pirlo-Flamini-Kaka-Ronaldinho-Pato

Becks and Seedorf to share the 90 minutes, Flamini is atm in far better form then Ambro has been in the past year and a half, so without question should be the one to start, and Ronnie should get the start instead of Seedorf next to Kaka since he is far better in that position then Seedorf will ever be.

But seeing as Carlo said that Pippo will most likely play I'm thinking he'll go for 4-3-1-2

Dida-Zambrotta-Maldini-Senderos-Favalli-Beckham-Pirlo-Flamini-Kaka-Inzaghi-Pato

I really hope it's actually Dennis Farina reffing this game rather than Serie A's answer to Graham Poll.

han! Welcome back! Fishdoll has missed the penguins!

Here's Mediaset's updated lineup: Milan (4-3-1-2): Dida; Zambrotta, Maldini, Favalli, Jankulovski; Flamini, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kakà; Pato, Inzaghi

Thanks

Have been way too busy to actually come on here these past few weeks, things have finally let up, thank god!!

something wrong with my net today dont think will be able to watch the game today

My prediction tonight is a 3-0 win with goals coming from Inzaghi and Pato !!

good to have Kaka back hopefully a comfortable win i'd say 3-0

MILAN : Dida; Zambrotta, Maldini, Favalli, Jankulovski; Flamini, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kakà; Inzaghi, Pato.
CHIEVO: Benussi; Polenghi, Esposito, Fabiano, Vives; Angelo, Giacomazzi, Munari, Ariatti; Caserta; Tiribocchi.

Good to see two strikers and Kaka behaind them.

Who switched Ancelotti with his evil twin? TWO strikers?!?!? Gosh.

Sorry DP !

The website thinks we're playing Chievo haha

I don't even know if I should bother tuning in to the game on FSC. The past few Milan matches I've watched have literally either ended in draws or losses.

Some guy named Benussi is in goal for Lecce. Is he their regular starter?

Pippo almost!

I think so, Miz. Don't pay a whole lot of attention to Lecce.

Lot of defensive heading by us going on here.

Note to FSC announcer: Dida is actually 35.

*yawn*...

God down

He should be okay..yeah, there he is coming back in. To applause.

Nice shot of our two overpriced show ponies sitting next to each other on the bench.

Which two?

Dinho and Becks.

(Didafan does not appreciate Fishdoll's cheekiness. She reminds him that the crab rangoons she had earlier were delicious.)

Fishdoll hey, it was a half-serious question! He and his person are getting slightly different pictures. (Watching the game on RAI, not Fox).

Oh my God, there's been a Kalac sighting!! I hope his cervix has fully healed.

Why do we always struggle against Lecce? that I wanna know!

What a shot Pato!

Have we scored yet, or are Lecce waiting to rip us to pieces through a counter attack and completely humiliate us

This is mighty boring. Lecce haven't had a lot of opportunities when they're not parking the bus in front of our goal.

C'mon, FSC, at least give me a close-up of Dida just to make this worthwhile.

Kaka has slipped at critical moments more then I can count, he needs to change those boots

ohdear.

Maldini OUT, Senderos in.

What a shot by Pato. Had that been on target and Benussi batted that away, it'd have been the save of the year.

The amount of empty seats is piteous.

maldini subbed what happend to him

maldini subbed what happend to him

Right, im not even gonna watch this match anymore. We will not win.

See you guys when the match is over

Emerson is not on yet

CMF, I think Maldini was hit in the face earlier. Maybe he's experiencing dizziness as a result.

Pato... damn. bad finish

that is ok then better than some serious injury

Hubba. Thanks, FSC.

HT. 0-0

One word: boring

(Who's wearing the armband?)

Why did'nt he pass to Inzaghi
