That seems to be the line up popping up everywhere ... I would like for Pato to start, but considering what is at stake, there is no margin for error. Ibra-Robinho have been very good when paired upfront, so for the good of Milan I hope this partnership proves its worth tonight.

Yup, 99% that's how we're gonna play tonight. Pity, I would have preferred "han's line-up" better.

Good one. I liked it better too, but you never know until the teams are on the pitch!

At least there's no Bonera. But Oddo-Yepes-Nesta sounds awfully slow.

han's line-up would result in our immediate disqualification

Off to the stadium. FORZA MILAN!!!

Bring back the victory!! Forza Milan!

You lucky devil. Enjoy your time and like Max said above, bring back victory!

Bad bad bad feeling.

SHITE!!!!!

Arghhhh ... FORZA MILAN !

Do not say "bad feeling"

Gattuso captian and it seems like Abate is playing as LB instead of Oddo

You must mean Rb, right?

I think,she meant that.

Also,from football-italia

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has given old club Milan advice on dealing with Tottenham. “They’re tough, but have a poor defence.”

The former Rossoneri boss hopes his former club can avoid going out of the Champions League to an English side for the third season running.

“Milan have the advantage on home turf, but at White Hart Lane Tottenham can make anyone suffer,” Ancelotti told La Stampa newspaper.

“It depends on how Milan do in terms of tempo. Manchester United and Chelsea risked losing it there.

“Gareth Bale’s absence is a bonus tonight, but it’ll be real trouble when he returns for the second leg in London.

“Spurs have other tough players like Peter Crouch, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Luka Modric, while keep an eye on Aaron Lennon, as he is an old-style winger good in the one-on-one. Spurs are tough, but have a poor defence.”

Milan are top of the Serie A table and favourites for the Scudetto, but this is Massimiliano Allegri’s first experience in the Champions League.

“My old players tell me Allegri reminds them of me. Up until Saturday Milan didn’t seem at their best, but if they have rediscovered the solidity that allowed them to break away in the first place and have Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s quality, then they can go far.”



Thanks for the golden advice Ancelotti ;p

If we win these ties who are the possible 2 teams we can face?Or is it a draw?Noob xD

O sorry yes I did. Antonini is LB I think

Just under an hour to go, let those CL nerves get set again!

Yep, starting to get nervous now.

Hopefully we don't try to play their game and leave spaces for their pacy players to run into. Keep it tight, play a smart tactical game, make them as uncomfortable as possible

Tottenham!Let's go!

Too excited ;p

AC Milan (4-3-1-2): Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Yepes, Antonini; Gattuso, Thiago Silva, Flamini; Seedorf; Robinho, Ibrahimovic

Tottenham (4-4-1-1): Gomes; Corluka, Gallas, Dawson Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Palacios, Sandro, Pienaar; Van der Vaart; Crouch

Same, still HDTV is set, pizza is ordered, beers and Pepsi Max in.

Now just for the perfomance!

This is probably the most nervous/anticipating for a CL game I've been in years. (Always thought we would go out to United & Arsenal).

Huge game for Rino tonight. If he does his job well, we go a long way to stopping Spurs. Prove me wrong Rino!

I think he'll be up for it. Problem is not whether or not he's into it, but whether his legs can manage it, hopefully it will be Flamini and Antonini covering Lennon's side, who is by far their fastest player, Rino would get burned by him

I think he will be soooo out of his confort zone running behind Modric, VdV, lennon. I just don't think we have an anwser for their midfield.

"Hope" and its derivatives is the most (over)used word here on Milanfan.com. FACT.

The passion here from the fans all around the world is epic. FACT.

My Champions League DNA is finally kicking in. FACT.

Let's go boys!

Maicon had some problems so Im more worried about Abate.
But he handled Cristiano Ronaldo good at the 2-2 game.

I fail to see how they cope with Zlatan. Gallas and Dawson are very average defenders by normal standards, but for a CL they're pretty awful.

Maicon was playing like a player who didn't want to be there at that time under Rafa. Also Bale won't be playing

Thankfully Modric won't be starting. I think Thiago, Flamini and Rino can stifle their midfield if they stay compact, just don't allow them any space!

Why won't Pato play?

Also,Yepes to kick some ***!

pato on the bench to come on after robinho misses his 7th chance

Or to come instead of Seedorf,who'll start walking after 30 minutes of play.

Your anti-Redknapp rants are such a treat.

Knew I shouldn't have watched the build-up it's like we're playing Barca the way they're rating them against us! Then they go onto say that their team is depleted but nothing about ours!

Come on, want to beat them even more now (if that's possible).

See you at HT.

Enjoy the pizza and beer

It's time.

Please, please, win.

ray wilkins sounds like micheal caine. It might be his booth partner.

Seedorf shaking, flamini looks like he will kill a man

It's time. The board is set, burgers and drinks are out, friends are in. Go, go, go!

This is the time for abate to show what he's worth.

Not a good start so far. Bad passing

Nothing going through midfield, mistakes in the defense. letting Crouch win all the arial battles

Lennon killing us on the right everytime they're letting him put in crosses. Ridiculous

Hoofspurs living up to their name so far.

Abbiati coming off, damn.

Amelia on.

They're killing us on the sides...

Nice even more injuries. This while we're struggling

Amelia's career is about to be defined, backup or starting material.

Couldn't really have started much worse, could it?

Flamini and Rino need to work with their FB. Anatonini and Abate are atrocious, this is why I said Oddo should be playing. Abate will prove to be a huge liability for us in this game

Sky Sports commentators making me want to puke. Crouchy? Give me a f**** break!!

anyone have a stream?

seedorf is useless. its pathetic and sad
