Bleh, we have the lunch time kick off this Sunday.

Hopefully we get another 3 points and continue to climb the table. Losing points in this one is just not acceptable

I love it when we play on lunch time.

I want to see the same line-up that beat Palermo.

Food for thought - we have not won there in the last 10 years. Let's see if we break this taboo

With Ibrahimovic back on form .. and a history of playing well against lecce, I hope we can win this one quiet comfortably.

I don't because they're during Sunday lunch... I'm usually eating during that time


Wow, has it been that long?? We better break that on Sunday. Simply cannot affor to lose anymore stupid points at this point

Well, you know, you could eat like, later?

Or during the match.For me,that would be two of my favorite things combined

Means my lucky mascot (aka my son) will get to see his first Rossoneri game of the season! He's is about 60% watched and won, with a hoodoo to break you just never know


PS if we get hammered dont blame him....he is 2 yrs old!!!!

This is the ymmiest match thread of all time! Food? Lunch time? Combination? Where do I signup guy? And yeah, eating during a live game is absolutely fantastic. And frankly, I don't mind these early daytime games at all, very nice change of pace from the regular timings.

Oh, and Boban, nice to hear about your son! Now I'm confident we'll win this one!

I don't like eating during games. I miss 40% of the action!

Yeah, well "action" is a relative word now-a-days. What with the sever dip in quality players all over the world. Sports are not like they used to be. Maybe good for newer kids, but I've seen enough classic stuff in what, the past two decades or so, that I don't really care if I miss 50% of it.

I mean, very rarely does a worthwhile match comes along. The last World Cup? Bah! Most CL ties? Bah!

+1

But only for Milan games.

Will be fun to play against Oddo and Strasser (both played 90 minutes in the game vs Genoa, Merkel also).

According to gazzetta, you shall have it

Mediaset has Boateng instead of Cassano.

This is a must win. I expect 3 points and a few goals.

Thiago Silva trained in the gym today as well. Him and Seedorf are in doubt for the game. Ambrosini trained with the rest of the group and should sit on the bench.

Might we see Mexes from the very beginning or is it Bonera again?

Knowing Allegri, it will be Bonera.

I'm usually sleeping...

That's 6:30am my time

Oh well my alarm has alredy been set.

Milan (4-3-1-2): Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Yepes, Antonini; Aquilani, Van Bommel, Nocerino; Robinho; Ibrahimovic, Cassano.

Latest predicted line-up from sportmediaset

Apart from our back line, everything else looks fine. Should be enough for Lecce.

I should hope so. Even Antonini should be able to manage a decent performance. Fingers crossed that his inevitable defensive misstep isn't too damaging.

Well, if his opponent will be Oddo, then I bet.

called up:

GOALKEEPERS - Abbiati, Roma, Piscitelli (n.51).
DEFENDERS - Abate, Antonini, Bonera, Mexes, Nesta, Taiwo, Yepes.
MIDFIELDERS - Ambrosini, Aquilani, Boateng, Emanuelson, Nocerino, Van Bommel.
FORWARDS - Cassano, El Shaarawy, Ibrahimovic, Robinho.

I'd go with this one:

I like it but i don't think Il Faraone will start and i think, at this point, Abbiatti has played himself out of his slump so Amelia isn't really required.
Side note, i hope we crush them but Strasser has a good game

La Gazzetta Del Sport Formation

Oddo is better then Antonini

Who's on the bench?

OFFICIAL LINE-UP VS. LECCE (4-3-1-2): Abbiati; Abate-Nesta-Yepes-Antonini; Ambrosini-Van Bommel-Nocerino; Robinho; Ibrahimovic-Cassano.

ambro? :@

Naah, come on, it's Lecce. Seeing Yepes fielded just doubled our chances of not conceiving a goal today.

And this is a must win. If Ambrosini does not perform at least solidly, he should be benched permanently. So, it's a good test.

Ambro, VB, Nocerino???

Terrible midfield!! FFS we'll barely be able to get it to the front 3. What's wrong with Aqui and Boateng?? If we can't score then this will be the reason for it. F****** Allegri and his defensive tactics and mentality

Agreed. I'm almost done just getting everything ready (to eat that is). The match can't start soon enough!

Very strange seeing as Boateng and Aqui still need games........

any good links guys?

We'll see. It will be the usual Ibra depended Milan.

bet365

Ambrosini??? F*ck you Allegri!!!

OH FFS!!!! Nice one Ambro!!

Goal down already

oh ffs

That's what you get for playing Ambrosini.

jinx!?

Totally. You guys can blame Ambro as much as you like, but Yepes is the one who failed on this goal.

Abbiati WTF??

Can't beleive what I'm seeing atm!!

My god our defense is one giant mess today.

Ambro was the one lunging in for no reason and giving away the kick. Abbiati and Yepes were then non existent in the defense

2 guilt edged chances for Lecce now!! Ridiculous

And considering we're playing with 3 DM's.

Not to say it was unexpected, but we do have a poor record over there

Can't believe Boateng and Aqui are being wasted on the bench while Ambro bumbles along
