Some Thoughts On…Onwards
By: chris |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 [...]
Back To The Magic
By: chris |Udinese 1 – Roma 3
This game was about two reactions. The reaction going into the game with only one piece of major silverware left to fight for and the reaction after Antonio Di Natale’s goal early on in the second half. On Sunday, more than any other day this year, they reacted like champions. I [...]
The Magic Forcefield Returns
By: chris |Cagliari 1 – Roma 1
I wonder how much Matteo Ferrari and his agent think he’s worth now. Perhaps a half a euro and a bag of manure? Because that’s what his performance was worth, minus the half euro. What I’d really like to know, however, is what the was he planning to do with the [...]
La Magica Turn On The Magic
By: chris |Roma 2 – Empoli 1
You know how there’s a glitch in video games – whether they be football, basketball, or whatever the hell else type of video games they make – and a guy just cannot miss from a certain spot, becomes invisible or whatever? That’s Christian Panucci on free kicks two yards from the [...]
Grazie Mister, Grazie Ludovic, Grazie Mirko…Grazie Roma
By: chris |Roma 2 – Milan 1
Putting the summer of ‘06 aside, that was the best game I have seen in many years. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I cowered, I bit my fingers off, I yelled too loudly in enclosed spaces, I rocked back and forth like Leo Mazzone for 90+ minutes, and I blacked [...]
S.S.C. Napoli 0 – AS Roma 2….I Think
By: chris |(See that right there? Problems my arse.)
I didn’t get to see it. Chances are you didn’t get to see it. And if you did, it was probably as easy to decipher the happenings as it would be to take a Rorschach test while some guy rubs Vaseline in your eye. Three cheers for Napoli and [...]
Roma 1 – 0 Fiorentina, Serie At it’s Best!
By: Marco Stucazzo |Roma – Fiorentina
This is what happens when Cicinho starts !
Roma managed to fend off Prandelli’s purple posse to gain some ground in the (re?)Opened Scudetto race. Oprah promised us a Soaring and Joyful event and she delivered. She’ll now be promoting the upcoming book so Stay tuned for book signings in your area!
On with [...]
Halfway To Being Halfway There
By: chris |Roma 2 – Real 1
For the first time in I don’t know how long, as the game wound down, I was thinking to myself “please please please pleeeeease blow the whistle….pleeeeeeease”. It was that type of affair. A good victory for the boys, but one which was mentally, emotionally and physically exhausting – and I’m [...]
An Open Letter to Luciano…
By: Marco Stucazzo |We’re now 11 point away from Argentina, Fark!
What a crappy day in football. Breakfast in front of an Inter win (to the hands of Livorno, di piu !) Followed by an afternoon with DP and ADP. Awful, just plain woeful!I’d especially like to thank Pavel Nedved for living up to his [...]
Roma 2- 0 Reggina, Roma back to their Winning Ways
By: Marco Stucazzo |Roma – Reggina
Roma shrug off the 1st away defeat of the season by beating basement boys Reggina.
Finally, 3 points against a relegation battler! It wasn’t a convincing one, but 3 points is 3 points
Roma started off the game with a 3 Right Back 4 man defence. Panucci* was partnering Mexes in the middle, [...]
