Napoli: Same Old, Same Old.
By: chris |Roma 1 v Napoli 1
Of course you saw it coming. Everyone did. After the initial joy of Fabiano Santacroce’s red card it was “shit, wait…this is Roma”. And it happened. Handing Roma a man advantage is a fate worse than handing them the red. Can’t play against 10. Just can’t. And to be honest, about [...]
Napoli: Serie Blah; Roma In Need Of Bodies.
By: chris |Roma v Napoli
This is supposed to be an exciting, celebratory time, as after a rocky, confusing and sorrowful summer, we’re finally being gifted some Serie A football again - and in a proper derby at that. Problem is, the opener’s headline has swiftly gone from Luciano Spalletti’s Bella Calcio Returns to Roma Currently Seeking Warm/Lukewarm [...]
The Prodigy, Champions League & Jesus
By: chris |Jeremy Menez
Did you hear? No? Must’ve slipped through the cracks then. Anyway, here’s the news: Roma signed Jeremy Menez. Yes, it’s true. The next Zidane, Platini, Henry, Buddha, Gandhi, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Howard the Duck and Papa Smurf is officially your newest giallorosso. Party time.
I wish I could’ve reported on this sooner, but I’ll [...]

SuperCoppa Thoughts
By: chris |On formation….I think it’s safe to say that’s the first and last time we’ll see that first half formation this season. Borne out of necessity more than anything else - the bastardized combination of a packed hospital ward and JV players called up to fill spaces on the varsity until the new recruits come in [...]

Internazionale FC +1 v Roma
It’s been a long and tumultuous few months without out fair Giallorossi, but the time has come for what it’s all about: the football.
VotD: A “Matter of Hours”
By: chris |We’ve heard this before, but….David Suazo is supposedly on the verge of a move to Rome. The Grand Imperial Poobah may be getting his long awaited wish. And frankly, so might I. More than finishing, he’s the end product. That last burst of speed, that final surge of power. Roma has never lacked cheeky creativity, [...]
Beast, Swift Nigerians & The Next Zidane #∞.7
By: chris |La Bestia
His Roman presentation will be tomorrow, but his true presentation will be Sunday evening at the San Siro, when he will most likely make his debut in the starting lineup in place of Jesus Totti. A Jesus Totti who will be on the bench, but will play at some point. Oh I’m woozy.
Too woozy, [...]
Continental Tour: Mexicans, Frenchmen & Brazilians, Oh My.
By: chris |Bad Dates & A Mexican
Say you’ve decided to finally ask a lovely young lass out to an evening of splendor. No expense spared, no luxury too lavish. She is, after all, the catch of a lifetime. Beautiful, intelligent, sweet as a southerners charm - and never with a boyfriend. Some call her The Other Shoe, [...]
