One game. http://roma.theoffside.com/team-news/this-thing-aint-over.html Catania 1 v Roma 2 Formality over, and that's precisely what it looked like: a formality. The game was as much terrible as it was painfully boring, especially towards the second half - at least for me. I've had more exciting prostate exams. And, quite frankly, it had the feel ... http://roma.theoffside.com/rumors/throttling-catania-ludovicious-the-king.html Roma Through. Hooray. Catania 1 (1) v Roma 1 (2) GAME 89' Another foul on Espo. Somebody needs to check that stat. He gets fouled at least 2-3 times every game he comes on. 88' Curci catching crosses like he's shagging flies before a baseball game. 87' Antunes fires one wide. He did quite well ... http://roma.theoffside.com/liveblog/coppa-catania-liveblog-ambien-disguised-as-calcio.html So there's a semi-final cup game tomorrow. Against Catania. Against a team in very serious danger of relegation which has a game in three days. Against Juventus. Color me shocked they didn't call up the women's team. They've got about as much depth as the Vatican City national team and ... http://roma.theoffside.com/coppa-italia/coppa-italia-non-preview.html Gimme A Purple People Eater I'd take Giampaolo Pazzini faster than you could say "Alberto Gilardino is a has been". It was just one line in Gazzetta, they being the ever reliable ones, so it's not much to get your hopes up over, but it fits, does it not? Another in ... http://roma.theoffside.com/rumors/mercato-short-shorts-youtubers.html Let's Talk About Goals I've lost all faith in logic - at least whatever was there to begin with. Two games after The Injury II, Roma is suffering from an acute and severe bout of efficiency. Shots on goal: 14 Goals: 7 Scoring %: 50* *(I used my trusted abacus on this one. Fret ... http://roma.theoffside.com/rumors/words-on-aging-doni-dealing-with-made-up-transfer-rumors.html We'll get to this "game" bs later. News of the day: Totti hopes to play on until he's 37 or 38. Six more years of Francesco. This is the part where each of you start lead piping defenders of mid-to-lower table clubs, making sure they stay the @#$% away fron ... http://roma.theoffside.com/video-of-the-day/votd-six-more-years-of-francesco.html Forza Siena. Forza Parma. Forza Roma. http://roma.theoffside.com/team-news/grazie-milan-grazie-omr-grazie-oompa-loompa-brigade-grazie-roma.html Sampdoria v Roma Big game? Might be. We'll have to keep one eye here, one eye elsewhere. But aside from the actual result, I'm frothing at the mouth to watch Vincenzo and Antonio back together again and playing against Roma. It'll be mighty weird, but I'm sure on a few occasions ... http://roma.theoffside.com/game-previews/cliffs-notes-preview-visiting-old-friends.html Not Roma's, stop crying. I'm talking about the potential clubs going down. I always find it nice to start circling in the waters, searching for blood at the expense of others' misfortunes. Last summer our fair Giallorossi made a big splash in the wake of Messina's relegation by taking back ... http://roma.theoffside.com/rumors/lets-talk-about-relegation.html
