VotD: The Legend of Mirko Vucinic
By: chris | March 30th, 2008
It’s astounding watching these videos and realizing every time Roma needed him to step up, he did. Even against Sampdoria, when Roma was down to ten men, it was Mirko time. He just has It.

I dont think anyone knows the starting line up, SGM

Let me rephrase. is Spal likely to start with Guily when totti is not around?

I agree with Alessio that Roma are psychologically not strong. They’re pretty inconsistent too. Hopefully DDR, Aquilani, Vucinic, and Giuly can play big.
I had a weird dream last night: Roma got knocked out of Champions League, but winning Scudetto.

I agree to an extent Gabriella. For one thing, sometimes Totti disappears in these big matches. For another, the team could really galvanize around each other and step up as they will know it’s all on them, rather than looking to Totti to pull off the brilliance.

We also know about Totti’s ambitions when it comes to playing at Old Trafford, so having him out of the Olimpico clash, and rested for the return, will hopefully allow him to run rampant in England. He might even the game of his life (please, please, please).

Bashar,
To make me feel better, here’s my strategic suggestions too:- One full back at a time can go forward, Cicinho preferably as Panucci can shift easily for RB position
- Mexes & Panucci work on anticipation only when 100% sure they get the ball (that’s how Rooney scored at OT, Juan leaving position)
- Use Aquilani and Taddei for closing down emergency spaces and making tactical fouls if needed, until yellow card.
- Ask Mancini not to pretend to come back, but to actually get back to win the ball back or do something.
- Try both pressing high as a team or sitting down deep, possibly alternate the two approaches to confuse Man Utd and decide when to slow down tempo.
- Watch Milan-Man Utd 3-0 couple of times
- Hit the target often, even from far, to test VanEarSar and to get the crowd as loud as possible.
Less serious (but equally effective in my opinion):
- Think that C.Ronaldo is just a kid and Rooney is just an ugly kid and treat them so.
- Find your Gattuso within.
- Chase Man Utd players as if they stole your cell phone
- Think of what happens in Rome if you go through beating Man utd
Should be enough to start the game.

“Find your Gattuso within.” –lol.
We’d all do well to be in touch with our inner Gattuso for this one.Posted from

Kistajk > I think many fans and punters think that we need to choose between the two otherwise we may not get any silverware at all.
Totti said he’s priority is the CL and if we get through MU somehow maybe we have a shot to get to the final.
I put a combined bet on us winning both before the send leg of Real when we were 9 point off 1st place. I only put £1.00 on it as I never bet big (I have an addictive personality but under control) … anyhow I’d get £160.00 return if it actually happens

And by the inner Gattuso, we mean inner Gattuso c.a. 2006, not c.a 2008.

And a bit of the usual Al Pacino would help too. Im sure someone else has already circulated this speech here.

I love Scarface lines:
“You wanna fuck with me? Okay. You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend! ”
“I’m Tony Montana! You fuck with me, you fuckin’ with the best! ”
“Why don’t you try sticking your head up your ass? See if it fits. ”
“All I got in this world is my word and my balls. And I don’t break ‘em for nobody!”
lol… this one is great: “Alberto is an expert in the disposal business. “

“You think you can take me? You need a fucking army if you gonna take me!”Aww,“Alex, we had some problems you know, your man he wouldn’t listen to me so I had to cancel his fucking contract. “

ok, im getting bored with an essay i am having to write. so, need some distractions–predictions on the MOTMs for Roma and ManU tomorrow? (Hoping of course tht the MOTM for ManU is the only positive for them, but they still lose big).
I’m going to go with:
Roma: DDR
ManU: EvraPosted from
United States -
I am also extremely bored with an essay I’m writing. Actually, perhaps not as much bored as disillusioned with how poorly it’s going. I’ll say AA (with two long range goals) and VDS (because Man U won’t even get a single clear chance)

“- Find your Gattuso within.

If only Pizzaro could play like in that Milan match, then I might be the first one to say ’start him!’. But I know he rarely put that kind of performance.
Tips: surprise MU with some bullet kicks. Totti actually did that in Old Trafford but his shot went wide with Van Der Sar completely beaten. And De Rossi’s goal was also a surprise shot.
And keep watching Milan 3 - MU 0.
