2. Gennaro Gattuso CM Milan
Mexes:
I’ve tried to make the Final Four more of a greatest hits from the earlier rounds of the debate, because some people were exhausting all their fantastic photos. Mexes is nowhere near this category, along with a certain other Romanista who shall remain nameless. Sort of. […]

By: chris | 16 Comments
The quarterfinals are over, much to my pleasure. There was only one “upset” last round, and at this point it isn’t all that much of an upset at all. Nobody seems to be able to stop the follicular steam roller that is Djibril Cisse. Even though the vote was still fairly close, it must be […]

In case you missed it, I wrapped up the friendly draw with Bayer Leverkusen after the game ended yesterday, which is here. But honestly, since we couldn’t view the game there wasn’t much to speak of. Don’t know if it’s worth your time. Game highlights here, courtesy of loyal Roma video scavenger, Stefan.
Starting XI: After […]
AS Roma Finally Shows Up In Germany

More Unfriendly Friendlies:
I think it’s fair to say that the term “friendly” is somewhat misleading. A friendly is simply an exhibition match, just for practice. But it doesn’t necessarily mean the two teams are going to be giving each other Spalletti-like slaps on the ass all day long - as much as each team would […]

Gettin’ Down To Business:
So, we finally got the Chivu and Marco Andreolli particulars, which break down like this:
Chivu: €16m total, paid over three year increments by Moratti, as well as the proceeds of a friendly (one would assume to be played next summer)
2007/08 - €6m
2008/09 - €5m
2009/10 - €6m*
* - At which point Chivu […]
GHD QF: Francesco Totti v Taribo West

10. Taribo West DF Julius Berger FC
v
2. Il Capitano ST AS Roma
West:
I really can’t explain the West phenomenon to you, I really can’t. One of the guys I thought could give Totti a run for his money in this tournament, Fab Colo, was ousted in dominating fashion by Nigeria’s future leader of state. I guess […]
A Potpourri of Useless Flapdooodle

Update: In what can only be considered the upset of the summer, Roma’s website has officially announced the transaction involving Chivu to Internazionale before Inter’s website. Pigs be flyin.
The Festival:
Last night a party was held at the Olimpico to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the club, with Giallorossi young and old showing up to participate. […]
Roma Breaks Out The New Kits
By: chris | 32 Comments
They’re pretty simple, as we all expected. The away kit is plain white, just like the setup used for the friendly with Borussia Dortmund, except this time there is no S.P.Q.R. across the chest, much to the dismay of pretty much all the Romanisti. I believe we’re still waiting for the official unveiling of the […]

8. Djibril Cisse ST Marseille
v
5. Sergio Ramos DF Real Madrid
Cisse:
Cisse has been killing it so far in the hair debate, taking out No. 1 seed Pavel Nedved last week in a relatively major upset. Without a doubt one of the most flamboyant guys in the contest, if there was a contest for best dressed, I […]

(Just thought I’d keep things mature)
* - This deal isn’t official, but I think it’s fair to say Chivu is on the out very very soon. The details are obviously subject to change, but I’ve had enough of this whole mess. Prade and Cristina Mazzoleni just left Trigoria together, so who knows what that means. […]
