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 I’ll be imagining them in […]

A brief preview before we resume regular service next week.
Roma v Torino
Tis the first game in the sans-Totti stretch we’re about to endure; unfortunately, the boys in red & yellow have had a lot of experience dealing without their captain this season. Now, though, they’ll have to march on knowing it’s about them and […]

Roma v Livorno
And here it is, game number eight versus a Tuscan side this season. As devastating as the trips to The Poobah’s home have been (that much ballyhooed “Curse of Tuscany” rearing its ugly head), its been equally as delightful to host that rascals.
In Tuscany:
Fior 2-2
Empoli 2-2
Livorno 1-1
Siena 0-3
Hosting Tuscany:
Siena 2-0
Fior 1-0
Empoli 2-1
Here’s to […]

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 […]

Udinese v Roma
All is right with the world again: Francesco Totti has been called up. And oh how that changes the complexion of this game. A very good squad turns into a great one and that is that. Guns ablazin’, they march on to Udine.
Still no definitive word on how he’ll be involved, if […]

Roma v Genoa: Cliffs Notes Preview
By: chris | 209 Comments
I’ll miss the game and be gone much of the weekend, so I’ll set up a discussion thread directly after the game and I’ll let you guys do your usual wrap ups. And if the first runaround in Genoa is any indication, I may be glad that I’ll be missing this one.
This game has nothing […]
Cagliari v Roma: Taddei Day

Cagliari v Roma
Is it possible for a game to be a “trap” game going in both directions? Maybe? Perhaps? It certainly feels that way.
Roma: Despite last week they’re still running hot and have had an entire week to rest their weary bones. Cagliari, until just two days ago, was the worst team in the league, […]
Roma v Empoli: Redemption

Roma v Empoli
Before I checked this weekend’s schedule, I was reflecting back on the derby that wasn’t, and why the loss didn’t sting like a derby should. Sure, it was a loss, but the Roma that showed up was not the Roma that we know. Their minds were off dreaming of dancing sugar fairies and […]
