Milan derby (one of the biggest games in world football?) or Real Vs. F.C. Nobody.


If you have to even think about it, I worry about you.

I take it you didn't watch the game between Inter and AC earlier this season then? It was anything but slow and boring.

well i'll watch this game and then give my opinion. I haven't watched a full Italian Game in about 5 years

syngindub

Current League Position

1. Inter 20 46
2. Milan 19 40

Inter slight favourites with the Bookies.
Just put a few quid on a draw.

Well lads, not very good with knowledge when it comes to TV or satellites but I'd love to see what'll hopefully be a cracker tonight at the San Siro.

To avail of ESPN, do you have to have a Sky Box?

I have a satellite on Astra 2, 28.3' or something like that.
I don't think there's much chance of me getting it on my yoke' but sure I thought I'd ask all the same.

Any ideas?

If you have a betfair account you can watch it there. Great quality and no lag.

INTER: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Santon; Zanetti, Cambiasso, Muntari; Sneijder, Milito, Pandev.

MILAN: Dida; Abate, Thiago Silva, Favalli, Antonini; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Beckham, Borriello, Ronaldinho.

Nesta out for Milan which will be a huge miss for them given his form. No Eto'o for Inter as well.

english football = extremely lacking in technique.

spanish football = extreme lack of tactical awareness.

See, I can talk absolute sh!te too.

Might do that cheers, would rather watch it on the telebox but that'll be fine if it's not possible
Cheers.

Positives on Milan the defence.

Abate and Luca offer a LOT more going forward than Oddo and Zambrotta, and they are getting better defensively every game, especially Abate, he has come a lot lately.

Negatives.

Pepe fu*king Flavalli, ffs, serouisly?!?!

Worst Milan player since Helveg!



Another positive, I think Beckham has been very good in the advanced central position behind Ronnie and Marco,he doesn't need to break his bollocks pace wise and he can use his vision to play some great balls into the box, also he can drift out wide and over lap with Abate a lot and ping some quality crosses in, like against Juve and Sienna.

I still fancy Inter for this.

I like this panel, good to see Liam Brady back in the chair too. Well in again, ESPN.

Yeah if you've nothing intelligent to write you should keep your ignorant opinions to yourself!

is becks taking the free kicks for Milan?

I'd presume it's shared between himself, Ronnie and Pirlo, I guess we'll find out tonight.

IvySlayer

Free to view ESPN ftw! Looking foward to this, was so happy when they showed it on BBC 3 last year!

Anyway, last game Inter wiped the floor with AC. Inter are having a drop in form and AC going well now. 6 points between them, with AC one game in hand. I said this earlier, if Inter win, I reckon it's another Serie A in the bag. They won't go through another bad patch imo.

Milan probably will be looking to avenge and close the gap. They just beat Juve well away. Hopefully a goal fest. No-one can predict these matches.

I saw that too, and still don't believe it!

Has Abate played CB before? Seems a bit mad.

ESPN said Silva will start at right-back, sounds daft to me but it's what they said.
