Ibra has 13 goals in 20 for Milan (in the league anyway), he's not exactly doing ****e. Better than Rooney and Torres this season, not too dissimilar to David Villa (15 in 22 in the league). Maybe base your opinion on more than a handful of games.

I've never seen anyone to polarise opinion quite like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

For what it matters I think he's quality.

Pato simply has to come on. You can't leave a world class player on the bench for garbage like Robinho.

Robinho has done nothing, making it even harder for Ibra to do anything, has he been any use since leaving City?

Is he allergic to playing against English teams?

Whoever is commentating alongside the usual lad on Sky... My god its like listening to a documentary on Discovery. He couldn't make it any less interesting. And that's based on the 6 times he's actually said anything so far!

I like him he's informative, clear, coherent and knows what he's talking about.

I've listened to more than my fair share of excitable commentators listening to GAA on the local radio and you begin to appreciate a lad who talks with some bit of conviction. Unless he talks like Dessie Farrell. Because he's just the opposite end of the spectrum.

Still, it produced the current holders!

If Lennon could only judge a cross. AC Milan are set up like the away side and playing like cowards.

TV3 really need to get rid of Trevor Welsh

I think he's quite good too,doesn't fall into the usual Sky sensationalist bracket.

Maybe Spurs are just good.

Abbiati concussed apparently. Random useless fact, he's a proud Fascist (no, really)

I've never seen this level of committment and passion from our boys in an away game before. Fcuking incredible. We're making Milan look like school boys. Even if we were to lose 1-0 it would still be a great result, and in my opinion thats the worst case scenario. Hopefully Modric and Kranjcar will make appearences in the second half.

Good lad, perhaps you should put the quotes into context...

Pauleta

The Milan midfield has been pathetic.
Seedorf: Rubbish (like he has been for over a year now)
Gattuso: Anonymous
Flamini: Anonymous
Thiago Silva: Not a center midfielder

Milan have played great football all year and have been resorting to hoofs and desperation balls to the front two. Its easy to blame the front 2 but its hard when they are a 7 man team with a defence hoofing it up to the strikers.

Maybe its due to being raised on a diet of Sky but in terms of commentary I'm squarely in the Martin Tyler type fan club - always feel his commentary is fluid, descriptive and he's generally bang on the money with those seminal moments in matches - goals and sendings off and the like he always raises the volume.

Wilkins is the type of insightful guy I'd listen to at half time. Give me Wilkins over Jamie Top Top Player Redknapp any day.

Anyway in terms of the match = boring 0-0. Spurs are going to struggle to create with only Crouch up top; Milan are too organised for that.

Jamie Redknapp or Tony Cas at HT. Another tough decision.

I switched on Ear to the Ground. Watching cows shíte in a field would be better than their drivel.

Those three are all doing the same thing as far as I can see. Defensive job with nothing going forward.

Not a spurs fan either btw, but credit where it's due to be fair. Back in august this team was predicted by many to finish bottom of the group and here they are in the knockout stages playing AC Milan off the pitch in their own ground so far. Fair play to them is all I can say.

It'ss a bit of both, Spurs have been good and Milan have been poor. All I know for sure is that if Milan don't get the finger out, Spurs will be going through. Unlucky not to have gotten that vital away goal yet.

I need 2 goals in this match, I don't care who scores them. Looking doubtful at the moment though!

bookie basher

pathetic by milan, the 3 holding midfielders, gattuso,silva & flamini are shocking, their putting no pressure on spurs players in possession of the ball, when nesta or yepes get the ball the ball none of the holding midfielders are showing for the ball so theres no link between defence & attack

mike65

1-0 Ibra then!

Warper

Milan playing very badly and look like they would take a 0-0 which would give them a chance of getting through. Wilkins on Sky is so biased towards Spurs, its getting irritating while Walsh on SSN reckons Abbiati faked his injury as he couldnt handle Peter Crouch. Thats what i like about Sky - objectivity but as someone mentioned its that or TV3. At least Sky is in HD.

Harry should throw this on at HT; how to beat Milan at the San Siro

Is that your preferred style of commentating on a ac lombardy vs London hotspur game?

Milan are no longer a glorious side.

The side that held a free-scoring Shevchenko, great Nesta and Maldini backline and a prime Pirlo-Gattuso is miles from this side. Inzaghi is old, Ibrahimvic is a bottle at the top level and Robinho can't play well outside Brazil for long intervals. They are no longer a top 5 side in the Champions League anymore.

Spurs can take it over the 2 legs, they can well get a result tonight.

I re-iterate my point.

Is Cassano & Pirlo injured?

Thank feck he took Seedorf off. He is a legend but he needs to retire. He is not up to it anymore sadly.

bradlente

pato for seedorf.This could be interesting...

eZe^

Why are people ripping into Ibra so much? He's been Milan's best player. Milan will struggle if Seedorf is the link between the midfield and attack, he is far too slow and no longer good enough at the highest level imo. Bring on Pato and drop Robinho into the hole, that will make Milan's play quicker.

Raskolnikov

Pato for Seedorf.

It's fashionable to rip into Ibra

So close from Van Der Vaart,

Quality.

bookie basher

bone headed decision to leave pato on the bench, says alot about the managers mindset

Would have been great there from van der Vaart :eek:

Holy crap VDV. Class.

You're just trying to recoup some of that cash you wasted on him by building him up

I've just tuned in, whats the score? The clowns in TV3 have decided to remove the score/time display....

Pato making such a huge difference in this team already.

Why do TV3 keep saying its Mario Gomez playing rather than Mario Yepes?

Trippie

pato hasnt played well with ibra and robinho at all this year, hasnt committed in training and a load of lacklustre displays due to partying with ronaldinho and splitting up from his wife
