Derby della Capitale: Roma – Lazio
“We knew that in Rome most of the people support the yellow-reds; but we believed also the light-blue had a lot of sympathy. We have to admit we were wrong: nine of ten of the immense audience that was in the Rondinella Stadium (the SS Lazio stadium) waved yellow-red flags, [...]

Milan 0 – Roma 1
The guy just cannot stop scoring goals. 6 goals, 7 games and propelling Roma to another 3 points minus Il Capitano in the span of a week. If you had told before the season started that Totti would miss two games and that Roma would take 6 points in the [...]

Roma 4 – Napoli 4
Yet another game where the Romans couldn’t defend their lead, where the front line set up the kill but the cavalry couldn’t take them out. All the credit in the world due to Napoli, but let’s face it, there was an easy 3 points to be had here; and once again, [...]

Everybody’s Watching Derby del Sole…Well, A Few People
