AC Milan-Match Preview

Hello tweeps,
     Probably the biggest game of the new year in terms of our opposition comes tomorrow as we face AC Milan. Italian chanpions just last year, they come off a moral boosting win over Udinese and sit top of the serie A. But all is not lost as we too come off a very moral boosting win over Sunderland that sees us climb into the all precious Champions League qualification spot. A sweet victory with an unforgettable last gasp winner by who else but Thierry Henry.

     The teams:
    AC Milan                                                       Arsenal
                                                                          Wojciech Szczesny

Thomas Vermaelen V. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Thiago Silva V. Robin v. Persie
Chamberlain V. Abate
Theo Walcott V. Djamel Mesbah

     If Arsenal want to win this game they cannot be scared of going on the offensive. On the defensive side the Ol' Faithful will have to remain compact and solid. On the offensive side we cannot waste chances like we've done so many times before. Let us pray that we have a good ref this time though.
Lets hope we get a repeat of 2008.

The predictions:
Matthew:2-2
Henri: 2-0 to the Arsenal
Lucien: 3-1 to the Rasenal

Best Regards,
Henri
