Say Goodbye To The Salary Cap

By: chris | Comments 53 Comments

As of this moment, there will be no more salary cap for Roma if they want to continue to operate as a competitive club. There was an utterly astonishing ruling today regarding a case involving former Hearts midfielder Andy Webster which says that any player under 28 years old can buy out their contract after […]

Video of the Day: Andreolli!

By: chris | Comments 34 Comments

I no longer wonder why this kid is called the next Alessandro Nesta. Even just because they could make a highlight reel for a 20 year old defender from a whole 4 games (yes, four, count em). Bit of a ways to go, but kid’s got some talent.
And Marco has just been loaned out to […]

Lights Dim On The Winter Mercato (Sorta)

Afonso Alves
First of all the breaking news coming from England that Roma thrown themselves in the middle of what seemed to be a done deal between Middlesbrough and Heerenveen for goalscoring phenomenon Afonso Alves. Honestly, I’m stunned. Absolutely stunned. This does not seem like a Roma move or an astute buy whatsoever - if these […]

Coppa, Amantino, Dead Guy & Stuff

By: chris | Comments 125 Comments

Coppa!
Good stuff. Sure as hell was a lot less exciting than the second leg against the Granata, though. Anyway, I’ve had my fill of Torino and Sampdoria to last me until next season and beyond. So we’re moving on. Today we will find out the opponent who will succumb to the wrath that is CoppaRoma […]

Video of the Day: Grazie, Grazie, Grazie

By: chris | Comments 2 Comments

Since I’ve been doing little but huddling in bed for the last week and thus haven’t touched on anything Giallorossi in awhile, I’m going to move past the Samp game immediately and get back to business (that and I’m really sick of talking/thinking about Samp and Torino after having played them 3 times apiece in […]

Liveblogging The Coppa, Return Leg Style

By: chris | Comments 139 Comments

Since Roma just sprung this game on me and didn’t tell me it was today and not tomorrow (which I don’t appreciate one bit), I’ll Liveblog the game in lieu of any sort of preview.
As we know, Roma put in a helluva performance last week to take a nice little lead into the return leg […]

10 Things We Learned From Sampdoria

By: chris | Comments 96 Comments

Since it’s the first leg of a Coppa matchup and I liveblogged it, I’m cheating and going the easy route.
Roma can play some footy with 10 men.
For much of the game, Roma was the better side. They fell victim to the fact that they had one less man at times, but as much is […]

Liveblogging The Coppa, Samp Style

Samp - Roma
Here we go, into the darkness that is illegal streaming from the jungles of Asia. I always get my feelings for the liveblogs via my coffee purchasing experience just before the game starts (I have no idea whether it works out, but run with it), and let’s just say I’m not feeling good […]

The Day We’ve All Been Waiting For: Roma v Cassano

By: chris | Comments 43 Comments

Sampdoria - Roma
Last Wednesday evening, around 9:30 Italian time (I think), things on the Coppa side of town looked pretty dire to say the very least. It was halftime and the score was nil-nil, with Torino leaing 3-1 on aggregate. Flash forward 45 minutes and Torino was walking off the field as though they were […]
