Campioni
It ended with Inter, but it started elsewhere. A short look back at the ride:
Let’s face it, with a mere 45 minutes remaining in the round of 16, Roma was heading towards a near embarrassing early exit. It always seemed like it was “destiny” to wind up here, but it was never that easy. Never [...]
Some Thoughts On…Onwards

On Catania: We all saw two games because there were two games. The dejection which set in after it was clear Inter had scored brought about an interpretation of depression in footballing form. After that, with Catania buoyed by the goal and the knowledge that they needed a draw because Empoli was winning, it was [...]

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 of a friendly. (Just like [...]

Roma Through. Hooray.
Catania 1 (1) v Roma 1 (2)

88′ Curci catching crosses like he’s shagging flies before a baseball game.
87′ Antunes fires one wide. He did quite well today for what was required [...]

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.

Roma v Catania
Let’s get this straight off the bat, shall we: The Primavera should walk through Catania on the way to the final. On paper, this isn’t even a contest. This is reminiscent of the opening legs against Torino when Roma was down 3-1 on aggregate after 135 minutes then spent 3/4 of an hour [...]

Who Wants A Vargas?
Pietro Lo Monaco, Catania’s sporting director, has been saying for quite some time now that when Juan Manuel Vargas gets sold, the preferred destination is Roma. Not really sure why, could be that he has a school-boyish crush on Mama Rosella, or could simply be that he’s an intelligent, well-reasoned man and [...]
