Re: Official: ac milan v united thread (teams, links and doom)
File alongside all the ifs and buts that crop up after a football match. If they had a better striker they may have scored, if they'd taken 1 of their 3/4 good chances. They didn't. That's football, tough shit. When we went 3-1 up after a much improved second half there's no real mention of the chances we created afterwards, and how we looked like scoring a few more. Instead, it's glossed over and they'll just concentrate on Milan's second and our nervy finish. That's fine to an extent but I don't think our comeback can be underwritten. 1-0 down, not playing well, in a ground we've struggled in. If I didn't know the score line and just read some of the English press reports I think we'd have scraped a draw or worse. Also re Evans. Inter Milan last season were a much better side (IMO) and against them in their own back yard he was excellent. Not that I expect some @#%&! of so called sports journalist to remember that. |

Re: Official: ac milan v united thread (teams, links and doom)
was speaking to the hotel bloke on weds, he was there and is a ST holder. There is an enourmous amount of repsect coming our way from Milan, Ferguson is very popular in Italy and he said that Italians dream of a player like Rooney. Milan are seen as the cavalier italian team themselves so to be done at thier own game in thier city sent shockwaves thru the italian football press i guess.
One of those truly amazing United nights for me. |

btw, I don't know if any of you who went over saw the build up to the game on Italian tv. Six hours before KO, they were interviewing one ex Milan or Inter player after another about Rooney. All they talked about in the build up was Rooney. His old coaches from Everton were tracked down, players who'd played against him, even the Stereophonics ffs. They were absolutely terrified of him...rightly so Got 8/10 in Gazetta the next day too. Oliver Holt and a couple of other hacks were in the same restaurant as us after the game. Was going to give him some stick for his 'End of the Empire' piece from 2003, but he turned out to be quite a decent chap so I remained civil |
