It looks as though Diamoutene [...]

Roma v Bordeaux: Entertaining La Frenchies.

Roma v Bordeaux
Like any good French team, Bordeaux will be coming in backs first, white flags at the ready.
But before we delve further into the French psyche, let’s run down the situations:
Roma win/draw: though automatically.
Roma lose and Chelsea lose/draw*: through.
Roma lose and Chelsea win: UEFA Cup.
Odds of Chelsea losing to Cluj at Stamford Bridge: right [...]

Chelsea v Roma: Hobbling To Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea v Roma
I’m not concerned with Chelsea. They’re not a worry because to worry about them, one would have to be able to look past all that cripples the Giallorossi at the moment. They’re out of form, devoid of confidence and desperate for medical cures, even contemplating a second opinion from that guy running an [...]

Fixing The Giallorossi

By: chris | Comments 165 Comments

As if the season hasn’t been cruel enough already, the Italian press has once again taken to linking AS Hospital Ward with ex-Laziali, this time Valon Behrami, after spending eons convinced Hernan Crespo is the tonic for all that ails.
Unless Crespo has enrolled in medical school during all the vaca time he’s been afforded [...]

Roma Wasn’t Built In A Day

By: chris | Comments 228 Comments

The saying would work even if we weren’t talking about a team from the eternal city itself, but that doesn’t stop it from being perfectly applicable (and grossly clichéd).
I stumbled upon the lineup from another 1-0 loss in England which played a large part in showing Roma the exit door from a European competition, [...]

ManU v Roma 2nd Leg Liveblog

By: chris | Comments 316 Comments

Time for the scudetto race. Grazie Roma, for giving us another quality run into the Champions League. This is still a relatively young team tactically, and they’re still building. You can do much worse than two quarter final runs stopped by a bigger, stronger team. Grazie, and here’s to next year.

FORZA ROMA!
On to Udinese…..

Ukrainians, Palladinho e Stuffs

By: chris | Comments 83 Comments

Genoa
If my sources are correct, the Giallorossi were thoroughly outplayed, yet still managed to bag Genoa’s scalp; not unlike the way ManU snuck through the back door and swooped for the three points while everyone was ballroom dancing in the living room, striking a dull and resounding blow to the collective heart of the Giallorossi. [...]

So That Sucked

By: chris | Comments 385 Comments

I’m not angry about the game. The better team won. Maybe not the better team on this day – Roma surely deserved more (even Ferguson said ManU was lucky) – but ManU is the best team in Europe right now, and really the only team that could possibly convince me otherwise is a Barcelona squad [...]
