That won't be boring like Chelsea's sit back and hoof the ball up to Drogba(no offense Alen). I think it will be an entertaining game.

Sure, you can pick to dislike or hate whatever you like (except for Nancy. I'll break you neck if you say something bad) but it's very odd how much you've been focusing on Barca lately. It's almost like seeing Jack version 2.0, except without the good sense of humor.
and it was Andy who you were picking on (although truth be told it's always fun to pick on Andy just to see he's he's overreactions
)

I have to ask you again Fred: Do you have a clue what are you talking about?
Lets see:
In the last two seasons Nesta didn't play vs Zlatan. In the season before that Inter were all over Milan and comfortably won both matches and Zlatan scored on both matches (for 3:0 in the first match and for 2:1, the winner, in the second match).
This leaves us with Zlatan in Juve. On two of the 4 matches in those 2 seasons Zlatan didn't play. Once he was suspended for 3 matches and he missed the Milan-Juve match (the one Juve won with Trez's header) and once he was injured.
This leaves us with two more matches and Zlatan was indeed owned here, but not by Nesta because Nesta wasn't marking Zlatan.
Who was marking Zlatan then on those two matches?
The answer goes in your favor if you wanna say that Zlatan choked there, because the guy who was marking him was the 40 years old Costacurta. Milan fans still enjoy the thought of Costacurta completly shuting Zlatan down. But in this particular discussion we're having it makes no difference because it wasn't Nesta.
Yes, otherwise i wouldn't have mentioned it. Antares said it more than once.

Despite their glory hunting fans, I can't help but admire their style of play, their efficiency, their never say die attitude, and their flexibility.
Ferguson has built a truly complete 11 with a good bench.
if there is one team I want us to be like in terms of play and tactics, it ManU
ironic though.

I distinctly remember Nesta taking Zlatan completely out of the match in the game that Inter won 2-1 two years ago i think. The one where Cambiasso scored the winner. Thats just off the top of my head, i am pretty sure he has owned him more than once. Plus even if you take Zlatan's two games against Milan this year, especially the first one, he was non existent there as well.
I do not consider myself an Epl fan. I am only an Arsenal fan, you can however consider me a Ligue fan to some extent, because i always support French teams against other teams, but i dont really consider myself a Ligue fan either. Just saying you'd be closer to the truth if you called me a Ligue fan than an EPL fan.
Zlatan is a choker, he hasn't performed well against Juve other than the first game of this season. He has only performed well a couple of times against Milan, but most of the time he has been shut down and marked out of the game and he almost never performs well against the top clubs of Europe. Maybe other than the Juve - Real game.
Your initial post regarding this matter was that Zlatan was owned/choked almost always when Nesta plays. That wasn't true at all.
I stand corrected on last season's first match though. I know that Nesta didn't play at all in 2008 and 2009 but i ignored the first part of the 07/08 season. Nesta did play and (i don't remember tbh) he might have taken good care of Zlatan. But even if he did, that's the only case. I remember all the Juve-Milan matches where Zlatan and Nesta played (2 matches total) perfectly well and i remember just as perfectly how annoying Zlatan was when Costacurta was owning him left and right, i know that Nesta didn't play on the last Inter-Milan matches, so that leaves only 3 matches that i don't remember well, and those were the matches in Zlatan's first season and a half in Inter. On two of these matches he scored, while on that third one Nesta might have been the better of the two.
Still, it's one single match. Not even close to what you said that Zlatan is owned almost everytime he plays against Nesta. On the contrary.

Isn't it quite telling that every time he's been poor in the CL finals, his team has been poor and kicked out? Inter have nothing but Zlatan in terms of creativity, as opposed to Barca who can survive even when Messi is shut down.
The player's been very good against Italy, Spain, Milan (at least 3 times), Bayern, Real etc in important games, and he's also decided very important games against lesser sides like Parma and Hungary. That should be enough to show that he is capable of performing when it matters. How many players show up in every single big game they play? Messi hasn't been much better and yet that is never mentioned.
Ronaldo was completely invisible twice against Sweden this season. Zlatan played the first game and was definitely the better player. Do you reckon anyone but Swedish supporters will point this out?
