Venerdi Vitriol ! (and some Mercato musings)

By: Marco | Comments 30 Comments

 The Roman Derby was Lazio’s most important game of the season. Francesco Totti even laid flowers in front of the Curva Nord, purely because he’s classy. Add to that the fact that Lazio’s European ambitions ended a long time ago and the death of Gabriele Sandri and you have all the ingredients necessary for a […]

15 Questions
Reader Tick Tick Tick (given name, I presume) handed out this little questionnaire earlier in the week and I thought it was fantastic. So I figured I’d answer it, and if you haven’t, I suggest you do the same. (YouTubers where applicable.)

1.) All time world cup moment?
Fabio Grosso. World Cup Semi-finals. Dortmund. 119th minute. […]

Weekend Interruptions & Bull@#$% Rumors

By: chris | Comments 43 Comments

I wanted to take this Azzurri weekend to take some time off from the boys in yellow and red, but the mass media and info leakers of the world had other ideas. So here I am, tackling this bullshit rumors, inane news bits and FIGC gavel bangings which have so unexpectedly been bestowed upon us […]

Ilary Blows Francesco’s Whistle
She of great WAGdom fame (also, the original offside WOTW - what an honor) has let us in on the future plans of her hubby, Il Capitano, and the Roman faithful should listen, because she gives us a little hint as to how long he plans on gracing us with his presence:

Let’s run down the gamut of Roman news which has transpired over the past few days. Also, if you didn’t know already, Francesco Totti is freakin’ money.

Chivu: Roma A “Small Obstacle” To His Love For Inter

By: chris | Comments 25 Comments

This was taken from an interview in Calcio Italia magazine which I so thievishly stole from someone over at Roma Addict (btw, thanks for the thread - much appreciated), and this piece of bullshit deserves its own post.

Italia-France: A Running Diary of Mediocrity

By: chris | Comments 38 Comments

Italy 0 - France 0…Everybody 0:
So here we are, the great rematch of the final in Berlin, the one that actually counts because (most of) the big boys are back. Italia is without Luca @#$%ing Toni and Marco Materazzi, la Frenchies’ old nemesis, while France is at pretty much full-strength, minus The Chosen One, who […]

I came along this little masterpiece while searching for something completely unrelated to Mrs. Chivu, but it’s so breathtaking in all its splendor I figured it deserves its own canvas, or post.
Enjoy your trophies….jackass.

A Potpourri of Useless Flapdoodle

By: chris | Comments 9 Comments

See-see-nyoooooooo:
Hey Sevilla, over that way…to the left.
I’m sure you’ve seen the quote from Cicinho how he’d be happy to join Sevilla about 48 hours after saying it was “Roma and only Roma.” Honestly, this sounds a lot like his agent speaking. In fact, it screams it. Limiting your options limits your leverage, etc etc etc. […]

Cicinho Saga: The Teen Movie

By: chris | Comments 40 Comments

Here’s my promised Thursday post on steroids, due to my laziness yesterday. Somewhat of a staple of mine, the teen movie script. Which I’m pretty sure is not a good thing. God help us all….

The Cast:
Cicinho: James Franco (I’m sure there are better options, I was stumped)
Maria: Lohan (duh)
Rosa: Keira Knightley
Mr. Bronzettiballs: Fred Willard
Mr. Mijatovic: […]
