VotD: Good Times Derby Times.

chris — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:15:23 +0000

Fantastic Derby video with all the afters put out by RomaChannel a couple weeks ago. Highly recommend going to YouTube and watching in HD if possible (that little blue link bottom right hand on the YT page).

(Someone dropped this in the comments awhile back. Come claim your prize.)

Video of the Day: 07/08 Zampafied

Considering there was nothing going on today not involving Moscow (well, Alberto refuted any Arsenal, Juve, Inter, Barca, Real, etc. rumors, but we knew that already), the first of many yearly highlight vids to come: every goal from Zampa.

Hopefully something happens tomorrow.

I have absolutely no idea what, if any, part Stefano Okaka Chuka will play in next year’s Roman edition. The good money says he’ll go back out on loan, perhaps to a Serie A outfit this time, but he remains one of the people people on the list I’ve entitled “I Don’t Give A @#$% About Tactics, System Or Age, Get Him On The Pitch NOW, Dammit”. The list is mighty short, and he’s the only Roman product on there currently (Daniel Unal enamors me, though, for some odd reason – I think it’s because he’s Swiss). You want a big, technical, aerially-gifted striker? Here he is, Spal. Gift-wrapped and all.

Seriously. Kid’s going to be ridiculous.

I love it when loans end and there’s suddenly an influx of free, albeit mostly useless, talent. It’s like getting someone a shirt as a Christmas gift and you know they’ll love it, but the store was out of their size, so you get the 6′4 guy a small. Now they’ll have to wait to return it when their size actually comes in. And by then, they’ve got like 7 more shirts they like way more, so they just return it for store credit.

VotD: Six More Years Of Francesco

chris — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:43:19 +0000

We’ll get to this “game” bs later. News of the day: Totti hopes to play on until he’s 37 or 38. Six more years of Francesco.

This is the part where each of you start lead piping defenders of mid-to-lower table clubs, making sure they stay the @#$% away fron Francesco’s lower half.

(Great vid, as usual, from ermes79. Just one question: When did Coldplay become the official band of Roma? Does it have something to do with the goal celebrations?)

VotD: “Just when I thought I was out….he pulled me back in.”

Another Ode To Francesco

chris — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 04:44:13 +0000

I wrote something. It was good. But not that good. And now it’s gone. Gone gone gone. I’m too tired to rewrite it right now. So here’s the gist:

Yadda yadda yadda who wants some DIC? yadda yadda yadda Soros is still interested yadda yadda yadda Rosella is denying but no one’s buying it yadda yadda yadda that’s what she said yadda yadda yadda

Yadda yadda yadda Totti’s surgery went well yadda yadda yadda I heart Totti yadda yadda yadda four to six months yadda yadda yadda I heart Totti yadda yadda yadda blubbers relentlessly yadda yadda yadda I heart Totti yadda yadda yadda

So you get another Totti video to watch, set to a now very applicable soundtrack, and I’ll be back when I’m not so exhausted.

Basically what this shot says is “I am Totti, you are not.”

One of the most underrated defenders in calcio, here’s to hoping he gets well soon. Short but sweet.
