Roman Defender: Philippe Mexes

By: chris | Comments 187 Comments

I’m not going to lie, part of this is because I got stuck watching more damn highlight videos, but I figure these deserve their own mini-posts.

Philippe Mexes – Defender of the Year.:
Part of the allure of Philippe is that he has embraced this club and this city so much, he’s become one of Rome. Italian, [...]

Luciano Spalletti knows about Turnover ?!?

By: Marco Stucazzo | Comments 222 Comments

This will be short and sweet (ok maybe not sweet, but definitely short) seeing how the game starts in about 27 minutes as of…now.

Roma start their crucial month of March with a game in Parma, If you don’t believe me ask Francesco! You’d think that after an emotionally charged encounter with Inter we’d have at [...]

Inter – Roma, Unconditional Calcio Love

By: Marco Stucazzo | Comments 305 Comments

38 games a season and it all comes down to this one!
Inter – Roma

La Liga’s big clashes manage to catch my eye but I can’t seem to get excited about the Ping Pong-ish style of The Premiership. (And don’t get me started on the damn USL league!) I, for one, love Calcio unconditionally. Unfortunately, [...]

Oprah presents ; The Color Purple in Rome

By: Marco Stucazzo | Comments 286 Comments

Roma – Fiorentina

That’s right; the color purple is coming to town and is bringing Adrian Mutu along. Oprah assures us that this encounter will be nothing less than ”Joyful and soaring!” Now that’s what I call over-hyping the game!

Video of the Day: Philou Day

By: chris | Comments 7 Comments

It’s not often you see a defender worthy of a VOTD spot. It’s even more rare when you see a defender with two videos worthy of a spot. Philou is worthy. First one is some quality Roma work with Philippe bossing Serie A as he does so well. After the jump is a rare find [...]

Injuries: We’re Going To Need Some Extra Beds

Now Accepting Applications: Miracle Worker

Let’s get this out of the way real quick, the probably lineup for Udinese, which is subject to change 7,000 times before the game on Sunday:
Doni;
Cicinho, Panucci, Juan, Tonetto;
DDR, Pizarro;
Taddei, Giuly, Mancini;
Vucinic.
Or Cassetti at RB. But I can’t imagine Cicinho will be mayor of Happyhappyland if he’s benched for 3 straight [...]

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.

Roma v Serie B Champs: Back To The Grind

By: chris | Comments 111 Comments

Bring On The Cheaters
Those cheatin’ bastards make their way back to the Olimpico, fresh of a 1-0 loss to Udinese at home (I’m cryin’ inside – really, I am) and the loss of about half their roster to injury and Alfa Romeos. Roma? Just the opposite, coming off a commanding 2-0 victory against Dynamo Kyiv [...]
