history repeats itself...

[Eastside Urchin]

united made milan look better than they are,uniteds defence is very weak at the moment due to injuries.Heinze looked uncomfortable as did brown & vidic who was clearly not fit

[MCP]

yeah they did but it's pretty much the same team that took liverpool apart first 45 two years ago but i still think liverpool will win

[Eastside Urchin]

i think liverpool will win,milan are very good at their own ground but are beatable away from milan

[smallsy]

how was it the same team mcp. no shevchenko or crespo for starters.

[MCP]

Dida, Kaladza, Nesta, Maldini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Kaka all started and Inzagi and Ambrosini were on the bench and cafu's still there

[coupwotcoup]

Always thought that Cafu was Roland Gift's doppleganger.. Never seen them in a room together, that's for sure...

Great read... sa true story about a little regional league club in Italy who get taken over by a Mafiosy type sugar daddy and go right up to Serie B. It all then goes t&ts up, sugar daddy's real objectives become apparent, ground is sold and they slide back doen to oblivion.

This link gives a bit of history on them. I beleieve that have now reformed as AFC Castel Di Sangrio.

Oh if Reproman is viewing this..... ok I admit it is your book not mine and I will give it back one day.

I gave this book to Nobby Jonhson at Great Wakering Rovers two years ago.it's a great story and they managed to stay up the first season,playing the likes of Torino and Genoa at their tiny ground.if you have read the book,their general manager told some players to throw away one of the last matches and the american reporter didn't know anything about it.It really shows you the good,bad and ugly things of our "calcio".it's sufference,corruption,politics but also decent fellas that love their football and can play,we have got them all!

The Roman chose the three siblings Orazi, the Albani the three Curiazi siblings. In the immense chosen field for the challenge between the two formations, they fought the singular duel.
At first, the fight was not favorable to the three Romans, in fact two of these fell dead men, while two of the three Albani, only came hurt.
The Orazio then rerun to one stratagem: since entirety could not face them all alone, it pretended to escape, and it came chased from fastest and not hurt of the Curiazi,
but without warning the Roman turned itself and succeeded to pull down the first adversary; then he escaped still and even this time he succeeded to fight against a single Albano.
Finally, then, between the exultation of the roman army, the Orazio faced and pulled down also the last enemy.
From that moment, the city of Albalonga, with all its territory, entered to make part of the dominion of Rome.

Two Curiazi's have gone,now the jubilant Roman army is waiting for the Orazio to pull down the last Curiazo.

So the only Orazio left has pulled down the last Curiazo! get in there Milan! ha ha and they said Italian football on the decline.....43 trophies won with our clubs in the world and no other european nation has done that!yesssssssss

[onebreast]

who watched it on itv ??

Robbie earle at half time said about the first goal " good finish from Inzaghi "

 

robbie earle = useless [****!!****] who only played for Port Vale

Inzaghi - absolute [****!!****] !

[Kaiser Jnr]

Hahahaha I watched the game on Sky. Much better commentary and analysis.

 

Liverpool played a too negative formation, and this meant their best player Mr Gerrard was in-effective.

 

Well done Milan. I wanted someone to smash Gattuso though. Hahaha.

[MCP]

i agree with you kaiser liverpool beat barca and chelsea by playing two up top and i wish we had done that yesterday

 

I thought both Gerrard and Kaka were very dissapointing MOM for liverpool for Mascha
