Mercato: Bring on the Melba Toast

By: chris | Comments 36 Comments

Back to the best part about this gig for me: the barrage of complete bullshit which appears to be complete nonsense then occasionally turns into the real deal. Literally. And even better is this one always takes a month and is interrupted by those gamey things which, while they can be a minor nuisance, may [...]

The Antonio Di Natale Debate

By: chris | Comments 93 Comments

As hard as I try to hide under a rock, I’m not all that oblivious. I’ve skirted around the Toto Di Natale issue for a few weeks now. This is why. Vin is the creator/blogger/moderator/everyman over at serieAmerica.com, a site with his blog and a forum which I’m a fan of and read frequently, and [...]

A Giallorossi Christmas List

By: chris | Comments 33 Comments

My gift list to Santa this year was very short (I don’t need anything, and please, for the love of God, don’t buy me clothes), but I wonder about the players. Say each of the Roma fellas were allowed one gift for Christmas, what would they ask for? Let’s take a stab at this.

Welcome to The Francesco Totti Show

By: chris | Comments 93 Comments

Roma 2 – Sampdoria 0
There is but one. Kaka can have his Golden Balls, Messi can have his goals, Cronaldo can have his teenage girl fandom, but there is not a single player in the world with the vision and sheer genius of Francesco Totti. When not scoring goals, he’s creating chances from the depths [...]

The Great Totti Returns…Again

By: chris | Comments 140 Comments

Roma v Sampdoria
This was supposed to be the sentimental return of a couple of former Giallorossi greats. But the footy gods have struck and it looks as though this has gone from a reunion to just a plain old Serie A game. I think I speak for everyone when I say: damn.
Vincenzo Montella put his [...]

Champions League Draw, Duck & Cover

By: chris | Comments 66 Comments

The day is upon us where we find out the fate of our fair Giallorossi, and who gets the privilege of traveling to the Olimpico on either February 19th or 20th (first prediction of the knockout campaign: 20th – bank on it). As we all know, Roma finished second in the group and thus get [...]

Video Of The Day: Roma Goal Of The Season

By: chris | Comments 11 Comments

From the Primavera derby 3 weeks ago, some kid named Giuliano Falco, an 18 year old who scored two goals in the game (one a penalty). This one tied the game at 3, where it ended up. Francesco is going to have to Houdini some magic out of his ass to beat this goal. What [...]

A Little Dose of Reality & Then Some Fantasy

By: chris | Comments 28 Comments

Torino 3 – Roma 1
Can’t really say anything other than after the game was over I let out a big sigh of relief like a teenager after the pregnancy test shows up with one line (a teenager not in the Spears family, anyway). Or pink or blue or whatever. Honestly, it was as if the [...]

Coppa: Back Up To Torino, Where It’s All About The Kids

By: chris | Comments 101 Comments

Torino – Roma
As a player, when you have a rough game or an undesired result, usually your first wish is to get a chance at retribution. Being afforded the opportunity to exact a little bit of revenge. As a fan, you cannot wait to forget about it, move on, watch the next opponent. Well guess [...]
