ac milan
the only team i didnt want to face
think we will do em at home though
we mainly play well when we are the underdogs so that is a positive and probably the only positive
quote Marinese Boxerset out to stop bale all you want, we have other players who would cause your defence major problems - vdv, modric and lennon especiallyI dont think Tottenham have anything we should be afraid of, Bale is good, but we will set out to cancel him out straight away, the only thing that worries me is Lennon speed. But with our front line, which i feel is one of the best in the world, we will make plenty of chances to score, against a team which has concede quite alot of goals this season.
ibra is a massive threat and no doubt cause us problems, i reckon if we go into the game without any major injurys then i think we have a chance (probably a slim chance at that though), gallas and king at the back would be a massive boost, robinho doesnt worry (unless he has improved massively), pato and dinho are top class too
cant wait for the game but when we go to the san siro i feel we will get tonked if we set out like we did against inter, just got to keep it tight at the back which we havent done much this season

quote Marinese BoxerThink you're strongly underestimating Tottenham, in my eyes it would be a shock if you beat them at White Hart Lane. Also you say you'll be them comfortably, I'd class that as about by 3 goals, which I again really doubt. If Milan are still as slow as they used to be I'd fancy them to be torn apart at the back.Tottenham is the one i wanted out of them all
I am confident we can beat them, home or away. We have been solid all season apart from the game in Madrid and Ajax at home although we did have a much different team then.

I can not wait for this match now, i feel we win, and i think it will be quite comfortable. (No disrespect)
Also, if anyone is going to the 2nd leg, let me know.

I know it's a bit early, what games do you think will be on terrestrial TV? I'm hoping it's the Arsenal vs Barcelona game, but I think Tottenham or Man Utd will be.

I actually really fancy us against Milan tbh. Better than drawing someone like Marseille or Schalke who I believe would be more likely to beat us. We are the underdogs against Milan and that will take the pressure off the players.

We'll have Dawson and hopefully King back by then so we'll look a bit brighter at the back. Plus hopefully a new forward.
And yeah, you can set out to stop Bale all you want, we've got Modric (one of the most underrated players in the league imo) and VDV who can do the business.
Quietly confident tbh.

Well they played last season did they not. And Arsenal were decent up to the point where Lionel Messi decimated the defence. Keep him out, and you're sorted
