I’m glad abate is back with the squad..
his speed will be crucial for us to nullify threats from spurs winger.. i hope he’s fit to start the game..
………………….ABBIATI………………….
…………NESTA……………YEPES…………..
.ABATE………………………………ANTONINI.
…………………..SILVA…………………..
………FLAMINI………………MERKEL………..
………………….ROBINHO………………….
…………..IBRA…………..PATO……………
Seeforf will probably get the nod ahead of Merkel. I would chose Gattuso over Flamini if Bale were to play.
i’m just happy nesta and abate are back…they really were blocking that right hand side well with required help from gattuso…i can’t wait for tomorrow!!!
@TJ56- I agree to this formation to a certain level. Pato will sidelined Sedorf will play to keep the balance between MDs and FW, Oddo is much better than Abate especially when ib attack mode however if Bale was available then defiantly Abate for hus speed; Gutoso for Flamini. That would be my guess? Forza Milan
Best Bellieve we can Beat tottenhum. FFFIf Played this Formation.
Abbiati.
Nesta Yepes
Oddo. Antonini
T. Silva
Mrekel Straser/seedorf
Robinho
Pato Ibrahimovic
and substitide will me Flamini. Poppas,abate. Gatuso In 85 Minute.
(LOL, tit-on-burn)
AC Milan 22-0 titonburn
FORZA AC MILAN!!!……. also i think van der fart is injured, oops! i mean vaart! is gay bale injured too? can someone tell me? and i heard that mordick is out too in the milan match is this true? oh no i mean mordic :D…… just having a laugh :D :D :D
Allegri needs experianced players like Sedorf and Gutoso they must play fro start. It is possible the Silva stays at CB level with Nesta to seal the defense and play either Gutoso or Flamini as DM. If we don’t win tomorrow then forget it. Forza Milan
using a 4-3-1-2, either:
Abbiati; Oddo, Nesta, Yepes, Antonini; Gattuso, T.Silva, Flamini; Robinho; Ibrahimovic, Pato
or:
Abbiati; Oddo, Nesta, T.Silva, Antonini; Gattuso, Seedorf, Flamini; Robinho; Ibrahimovic, Pato
i know ppl hate seedorf, but his calm and experience could be useful against a nervy spurs side, he still has class, he just needs to be used in the right situations
my formation is:
——————abbiati———————
—abate–nesta———–yepes—didac vila–
——gattuso—-t.silva——flamini———
————robinho—–ibrahimovic———-
——————-pato———————
I’m sure we will play with this line up:
Abbiati;
Abate, Nesta, Thiago, Antonini;
Flamini, Gattuso, Merkel;
Seedorf;
Robinho, Ibrahimovic;
When we take the lead, Yepes will come for Merkel & Thiago will play in the midfield.
When the Spurs take the lead, Pato will come in for Seedorf & Binho play on the 10.
—————–abbiati——————-
————nesta—-yepes—————
—abate—————————-antonini
—————T.Silva———————
—Gattuso——————–Flamini——
—————-robinho——————–
————-pato—–ibra—————
Yepes have proved alot these recent games and deserves to play. His very eager to win and talented.

hope will shall win the game…
Ok Ladies thought I’d give you some perspecive from the other side … :) ————————————Gomez——————— ————Hutton——Gallas—Dawson Ekotto–——— Lennon——Palacios———Sandro——Kranjar——— ——————————Van Der Vart—————————————— ———————————Crouch——————— Subs: Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Modric, Pienaar, Woodgate, Bassong, Cudicini Going to be an interesting game. Go read up on Kranjcar as you all seem wonderfully ignorant of him and his abilities Perhaps a youtube session will help you out (of course this would be a nice surprise if your team are also ignorant of him too) :) I doubt you’ll get the advantage we gave your fellow milanese. There is only one player in your team that is going… Read more »
lol when have Daniele Bonera been fit enough to play?
just look at him. I bet his wifes telling him when to take a beer. so harmless so useless so hopless so un milan
It will be great to see Merkel on with Seedorf and Gattuso. They will be good tutors for him on such important game in CL
FORZA MILAN!
typical of milan..whats the point of didac vila signing if we seem to have no use for him?very good player at espanyol and spain U21 but we just might turn him into a montelongo..i thought we signed him to ease our LB?am very worried.
@ white hart lane Easy big fella, I know this whole champions league thing is new for you and your excited but your team is far from world class especially if bale doesn’t play. Plus i wouldn’t say 14 goals and 5 assist in 30 games from robinho in his first season in epl was terrible would you?! especially since your talking so highly about kranjcar who has only managed to hit the net 17 times in the EPL since the 06/07 season. Dont come on to a milan website and put up stupid post. Unfortunately i really like tottenham… Read more »
White Hart Lane is right, I watch the Epl a lot and I can easily say Kranjcar is extremely underrated. He could’ve left for 5million last month, can play as an attacking midfielder and on the flanks, I still wonder why other clubs didn’t go for him, including us. Despite that, I think it’s going to be a great game and of course I’d hope for a win for Milan! On Didac Vila, I still have this suspicious feeling that he might be a makeweight for a swap with another player in the summer. Or maybe i’m just thinking too… Read more »
@Danial
well i certainly do agree with u. krancjar is as good as bale if he is in form.i hope we don’t get complacent cos of bale’s absence.
on didac vila i seriously dont get it.galliani said on 22nd jan. that he wanted a left back outside italy who cud play in champ lge.he played 90mins for spain U21 last week so whats wrong?antonini may improve over a couple of games but the problem is still there
Nice to see I’m not flamed for my opinions :) The thing about Krancjar is that he has very little pace, good positioniong and sometimes he leaves ekotto exposed but on his day he will cause problems. Just look at the goals he’s scored for Croatia. In terms of speed you really have to worry about Lennon. As fast as bale but not as composed on the ball or consistent. If he has a good day, you’ll be wondering what hit you. equally as special as Bale when he’s on form. Again, checkout his goals or contribution on youtube :)… Read more »
@kay Yeah I know what you mean. We got the non cup-tied player that Galliani wanted, why aren’t we using him at all? At least a sub appearance to show us what the guy is about. It would’ve been better if we just went ahead with a cup-tied player that we can actually use in Serie A, like we did with the other signings. Vila just seem so useless right now if we don’t even try him. @White Hart Lane Hey don’t be overconfident ey, this isn’t the Black & Blue of Milan, it’s the Black & Red and we… Read more »
Am dissapointed boateng couldnt make it but I just hope merkel plays from the start
@danial..thumbs up
@WHITE HEART LANE..enough already…blah blah..u have a good team to be honest but we are not INTER..hell INTER WERE 4 goals ahead until they went to sleep.you have conceeded the most goals among the last 16 so spare us the krancjar,lennon and the other crap.we are SEVEN TIMES CHAMPIONS.do u think we didnt crush tesms like yours?u shd ask Fergie an advice on how to not tibe complacent against MILAN.2007 ring a bell.go back ti your blogto warn your team that THIS IS MILAN.
Agree with Danial. Villa is a mestory that needs to be cleared by Milan.
@ White Hart Lane – Welcome to Milan fan site mate, no one will blow you away, you are our guest here and no one will take you seriously. It will be a challenging game, Spurs are here for the experience and we are here to win. Cheers mate enjoy
@White Hart Lane
Yeah i’ll admit you got a good players in Spur, but you must be crazy to think only Ibra who will make you problems. There’s still Pato, Robinho, Flamini, and even Seedorf can kick Gomez a$$ :D
Besides, i don’t think Spur players can through easily Nesta-Silva defence. But that’s a diffrent case for our forward. So, enjoy the match mate :D
@White Hart Lane- Isn’t there a long running joke throughout the EPL that Tottenham’s stadium is call “Three Point Lane” instead of White Hart Lane? Remember Milan are 7 time Champions League winners. Spurs have a solid squad but like “Milano Q8” said we are here to win the competition. You cannot really compare Spurs to Milan. Teams like Spurs have quality players but their best will be sold next season (Modric & Bale). On the other hand, Milan will strengthen by adding one of the best young talents in the world (Paulo Henrique Ganso). Milan are also looking to… Read more »
And Good morning everyone :) Daniel, Believe me I’m anything but overconfident, Spurs have been fantastic over the last 2 years under Harry and I’m sure he’ll be taken to Replace Capello so where does that leave us again? :( But as for the game, I just want it to be end to end and entertaining. Hi Kay, well there is always one isn’t there :) I know full well who you are and you seem to forget this is a cup game, two legs. Having won this 7 times in the past means nothing right now. The only thing… Read more »
@white hart lane
hmm are you harry redknapp blogging in a Milan blog?
well the matches will be intense, may the best team win. And its a good thing that the crap striker berbatov went to manure you should be happy.
Abbiati
Abate Nesta Silva Antonini
Gattuso
Flamini Seedorf
Pato Robinho
Ibrahimovic
I’m confident about tonight’s game. It seems that Spurs will be without keyplayers like Bale, Modric and Van der Vaart, and I don’t believe (and hope) that Spurs will succeed in thier absence.
Hey Pirlo21, ok I’m biting your bait :) I will say, I would defend any of my players as you have with Robinho but before you start that, you should have done a little research :) out of the 15 goals, only 3 were against the typical top clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and of those games Man City lost to Chelse and Spurs. the rest against Stoke, Blackburn, Hull City, Newcastle, Portsmouth etc… Not exactly first class opposition is it? As for world class? I never said Spurs were? We have 3 world class players IMHO, Bale, VdV and Modric.… Read more »
@white hart lane we will rock spurs tonight with bundle of goals s.u.c.k nesta alessandro’s d.i.c.k.
Well done Alvi, you have won the idiot of the day award and fortuntely not all AC fans lower themselves to scraping their knuckles when they walk as you do :)
allegri is brainwashed and stupid plus no CL experince whatsoever. so expect this midfeild. gatusso-seedorf-flamini 100% !!!!!!!! no merkel no silva trust me.
@every one
I am telling you guys I think white hart lane is Harry Redknapp!!!
@White Hart Lane – Good afternoon, I welcome you again and it’s nice to have arround you are practical and write with logic. You are definitely keeping this site alive and tens Dispite of Spurs history compared to Milan, Spurs are a respected team that plays with quality players. It will be a challenging and enjoyable match to watch; I don’t want to defend Inter but if Morinue was there coach you will not have a chance. When it comes to big games Milan plays with spirit especially at CL level. You will see a different Milan I promise you… Read more »
@ White Hart Lane – P. S. I forgot to mention one thing though before we enjoy the match : Cheers Mate
FORZA MILAN
@Shervin FYI, Arrigo Sacchi doesn’t have any experience at all on UCL before he coach Milan for the 1st time! he just coach Ramini & Parma on Serie C1 also Cessena who plays on Serie-B in that time. But guess what? he made Milan into one of the most frightening & succesfull club in this world. So please please please! search 1st before you talk some s*** about Allegri. Even if Allegri’s “stupid”, i bet his more smart than you. Cause what? he’s there, coaching Milan, bring them to the top spot in serie-a, and earned a lot of respect… Read more »
Hi Chaps, Back again :) Milano Q8, I salute you sir, always a pleasure to engage with fans of other teams, especially on such an exciting day as we both have :) Of course I’m fully aware of the special one. In fact before he went to Chelscum it was widely rumoured he would be joining spurs at that time. I have the utmost respect for him and his record speaks for itself. To manage where he has and won the trophies he is without a doubt one of the top managers in the history of club football. Saying that,… Read more »
Ok so as you can see I’m at home watching the game, would love to have been there but not this time. I am very happy with the spurs performance. AC are far too narrow, not trying to use any width and coming down the center. And before anyone talks about the potential Ibrahimavic penalty, I’ll remind you of the Nesta handball in the 1st minute…! :) Silva is out of his depth in the middle of the park. Too many touches and not having the awareness of a natural central midfielder is causing you problems. I can see Krancjar… Read more »
Does it matter how many times we have won CL. Tonights game is relevant and the opponent is new.Lets wait & see what Milan have given to Spurs
Ok so I said I would come back after the game regardless of the result. A few observations from the game. After Pato came on, you were a different team. Seedorf was too slow and too ineffective against Sandro and Palacios, Pato gave you an extra dimension that ensured I was drinking more beer in the first 20 mins of the second half than the first. Gomez was outstanding, 2 x world class saves and make no mistake, a poor keeper would not have saved them. No wonder he was called the octypus :D I will be honest, after the… Read more »
