Roma v Juve: Roll Call

By: chris | Comments 679 Comments

Black & White Asses v Roma
Such a strange, strange time. You’d think the non-game against Sampdoria would’ve afforded some much needed healing time for the walking wounded. Not with Roma. Francesco’s found himself on the sidelines once again – though to be fair it sounds like his stint on Wednesday was going to end very [...]

This photo comes to us from a website called AntiJuve.com. Those are Inter fans. A group of them spell out Ladri, meaning “thieves”.

Cassano Returns To Chaos

By: chris | Comments 327 Comments

UPDATE: Game postponed due to the falling of the heavens. Makeup date to be announced.
Roma v Sampdoria
How fitting that Cassano’s first trip back to the Olimpico should be in the midst of chaos, confusion, and instability. Sounds an awful lot like…everything he brought to the table during his final days in Rome.

Licking The Wounds

By: chris | Comments 176 Comments

Let the Overhaul Commence

“I did not explain it well enough to my players. From now on I will evidently have to use different methods.

The Traveling Circus of Damage Control

By: chris | Comments 488 Comments

Udinese v Roma
Normally, this one would be circled several times on the calendar, featuring a cloud of hearts and stars and rainbows and butterflies. It’s an exciting game for Romans, Zebrette and neutrals alike. That is, it was.
