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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Ukrainians, Palladinho e Stuffs

Genoa
If my sources are correct, the Giallorossi were thoroughly outplayed, yet still managed to bag Genoa’s scalp; not unlike the way ManU snuck through the back door and swooped for the three points while everyone was ballroom dancing in the living room, striking a dull and resounding blow to the collective heart of the Giallorossi. […]
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 […]
The Magic Forcefield Returns

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 […]
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 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 […]
