AC Milan vs United

[whitepele]

Is it just me or is time moving slower than usual?

[gavinm2]

Yep... tick tock tick tock..

There thats wasted a few seconds...

A draw tonight me thinks - but I do think we need to score first... Maldini is out - Kaka isnt thats a shame!

2-2 or 1-1

If AC score first then we will have to come out all guns blazing, and risk being caught on the break

Utd for a treble I can feel it again - you know the feeling...

Anyone suggest a good pub to watch th game? With decent atmosphere?

[redsoldier]

No matter what happens, its going to be an absolute cracker of a game. Haven't been this excited or nervous for so long. I can see it being an all out attacking game, 2-3 scoreline roughly. I think that fergie saying about sportsmanship will also pave the way for a game with very minimal bookings, which is key.

But, im dumb, so what would i know eh!

[danishred]

Hopefully vidic and ferdinand will not play. I dont want them to not be able to finish the prem.

2-2 i think with Rooney and Smith scoring (or maybe Stam, another former united star, will score an own goal)

[keano16]

Right now I have a feeling in my gut that Milan are not going to score. United are going to win 2-0. And the scorers? Just one. Paul Scholes. Scholes with a double. Come on! Glory f'n Glory!

its slow man...honestly i have waited so long...still its 5 hours left! !!!!!

[Carlito's Way]

If Rio plays and lasts the match we won't concede. I think we'll win any way. Let's hope our away fans make some noise eh?

[mufc2911]

ya'll are a confident lot eh? all predicting a win. as long as we go thru i'll be fucking ecstatic...ive made a decision...if we win, tmr afternoon im going down the football store near my place, buying the home AND away jerseys(and maybe a scarf) and wearing it for the rest of the term til the champs league final. it'll cost me a bomb, but i dont care. 4.5 hours left guys!!!

Try the Smoo Cave Hotel, its about 10 hours travel time from Warrington though

From the 606:

I would bet that EUFA,the FA and even FIFA are praying that Milan win tonight. If Man U go through there is a real prospect of a major incident, which they cannot control. The fans will be sharing the same modes of transport there and back, sharing the same accomodation, eating and drinking in the same areas and will probably manage to get tickets all over the stadium. Mix in volatile locals who 'adore' the English and a riot trained police force and army. A recipe for absolute disaster and carnage.

The only similar scenario that I can think of would be to send twenty/ thirty thousand Celtic fans away on a bender with the same number of Rangers fans for the most important game in their history.

As for transferring the match to the UK, that would set a precedent that I would not condone. What about all the people who have bought tickets, planned flights and accomodation and the Greek people, hoteliers, airlines, coach companies and rail companies who have spent money and made arrangements in preparation for the match. The costs would be higher than the money generated by the game, Who would compensate all of them?

If a major incident happened, how many years ban would EUFA hand out this time do you think?

I'm afraid to say this, but I think the guy is probably right.

I sense the ref being a real prick towards our players today.

Yeah. I agree with him. But I hope the ref isn't a prick tonight. Hopefully he'll be professional to both sides. I'll be absolutely livid if Scholes or Heinze gets booked tonight just like Evra got booked. It's a big worry. But let's hope the referee does a professional job and let's the best team on the night win.

Anyone know who the referee is for tonights game?

[johnboy14]

I'm looking forward to game but I ain't getting my hopes up, it makes defeat easier to swallow if you do it that way. I would love to be in milan but I hope the lads get there but its only a chance.

Some Belgian ref: Frank De Bleeckere

I've searched up on him; doesn't seem to have any controversial moments in past matches. Hope it stays that way.
