Is Zambrotta 100% ready to play in this game ?

Yup, but I doubt the coach will play him. Not straight into the frying pan (in a high-profile game of this sorts) after coming off such a long injury. Think of him as ready, but rusty.

Loved this bit:

"Pato closed himself in the bathroom and didn’t want to come out. He was terrorised."

poor Duck!

Probable line-ups.

TOTTENHAM (4-4-1-1) All. Redknapp: Gomes, Corluka, Gallas, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Palacios, Modric, Pienaar, Van der Vaart, Crouch.

MILAN (4-3-1-2) All. Allegri: Abbiati, Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Jankulovski, Boateng, Seedorf, Flamini, Robinho, Pato, Ibrahimovic.

Yeah,that's the best formation Allegri can put for today.I think Seedorf will be the mystery in this game,if he manages to pull out a good performance,then we should be doing very good.You can always be optimistic .

Forza Milan!

I'd be a little surprised if Bale doesn't start. He got through the last 25 minutes against Wolves at the weekend.

He'll probably start, unless Redknapp wants to use him as an ace in the whole.

It's not the Milan way, but we need to just play long ball. Gomes is prone to regular errors and Gallas is suspect, at best, in the air. It's all Wolves did at the weekend and it caused Spurs nightmares.

Janku needs to pull a miracle on this one.. I don't think he can handle Lennon on his own..

Looks like there's a heavy burden placed on Boateng's shoulders on this one. And Pato's too..

One reason i watch Serie A is for that not to happen only when we need to do will we long ball it.

Seedorf will have a great game today. He's rested, it's a huge game, and he's going to feel like he has something to prove. He also knows he can lay it all out there because he's not needed for the next matches.

I think Spurs will win tonight - unless we play at a much higher level than the first leg. My personal priorities are with the Scudetto given how many times we've conquered the CL and made the final, but obviously I still want to see progress tonight.

It just isn't the be all and end all for me.

Bale should start from the bench.

I have been counting the seconds for this game...

I feel very funny in my stomach! damn European nights!

Tottenham: Gomes; Corluka, Gallas, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Sandro, Modric, Pienaar; Van der Vaart; Crouch

Tottenham bench: Cudicini, Hutton, Bale, Jenas, Pavlyuchenko, Defoe, King

Milan: Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Jankulovski; Seedorf, Boateng, Flamini; Robinho, Pato; Ibrahimovic

Milan bench: Amelia, Strasser, Papastathopoulos, Oddo, Merkel, Yepes, Antonini

No strikers or mids on the bench aside from Merkel. Not good

yea if this linen up fails then u know we will fail...

FORZA MILAN!!!

That bench... is so toothless It looks like it belongs to Sampdoria reserves...

I notice that too, but do we really have any other option? We need at least 2 goals to secure the win, might as well have our most offensive-minded lineup we can out there from the beginning, no?

We can win this FORZA MILAN !!!!!!!

Anybody have a live stream?

it is on itv here. Have u checked myp2p

Seedorf is Captain

wtf? That looked really close to crossing the goal line.

Where is everyone?

Here

We played well. We still need to do better though

How Crouch and Sandro are still walking around without a yellow is a mistery to me, Crouch has man handled his way to every ball he's touched, while Sandro has been fouling constantly! Ridiculous. 2 offside calls that were incorrect, especially the second one on Pato!!

Pato poor, everyone else good.

KPB and Flamini have been superb.

A goal is comming just need to concentrate more.

Here

Pissed at Robinho not passing it to Ibra.

Pato poor? He's been ok, like the rest of our attackers. Robinho's misshit was criminal!!

how Janku and Boateng have managed to handle Lennon was splendid.. But more problem will come, Bale and Defoe warming up..

How the team controlled possession and tempo was superb, it won't be long before Bale come on. Harry really need to change this.

What was happening to Nesta at the beginning of the game,he almost cost us a goal.

* OMG, can't believe this cantfinishinho! wasted our best chance just like that. RM Channel used to refer to him as the new Pele. yeah, sure.

* The linesman is obviously blind.

* Can Seedorf do anything except passing the ball back?

* Zlatan... I don't know what's wrong with him but he doesn't exist.

* I hate Crouch!

* I hate Redknapp. I want to punch him in the face and I don't know why!

* What's wrong with Nesta...

* SCORE A GOAL FFS!

My sentiments exactly.

reminder: Ibrahimovic sucks in Europe

We must be watching different games, then. like han said, Pato was one of our better players. provided a chance on a silver platter for cantfinishinho but cantfinishinho can't fucking finish.

But he has been sucking for the past month.. Everywhere!

Um,I thought Seedorf did just well...

Yeah, but he was just as poor against Juve. he's burned out and that's bad news.

Huh? It was an awful pass. Not only behind him, but the pass was delayed so a defender forced Robinho to rush the shot. All he had to do was play an early simple pass and it's 1-0. Pato got greedy in my opinion by looking for a chance to score himself before passing.

He's been the worst player for us. Lost the ball a few times and been offside.

ah.. if only Inzaghi is around!

Agreed, he's been calm with his passing, didn't let the team lose their heads with the irratic play we saw against Napoli in the first half and against Spurs at San Siro

Me too. That long pass was brilliant.

Milan should have scored by now, that's what worries me. And Crouch.

been offside?

2 out out those 3 times were incorrect calls, especially the 2nd time, were it was blatantly obvious

Cmon!Zlatan,we need you!You'll rest against Bari,show them how it's done...
