VotD: Love The Pain. Need The Pain.

By: chris | November 10th, 2009

Haven’t the slightest why I must subject everyone to this video once a year. But in viewing it yet again, I’ve realized something:

Trophies are nice, but I don’t want to scream my lungs out – I want my breath taken away. I don’t want to bear witness to arms held aloft; I want to bear witness to singular moments of genius. The singular moments which turn generations into followers and followers into believers. Belief in the grand design. The grand design that in this world there does exist The One. The complimentary piece which completes every human being. And proof that it needn’t be a woman for a man or vice-versa, and it needn’t be based on sexuality. That sometimes, The One is simply there for the betterment of mankind, not for the enjoyment of individuals. I want these moments to reach down into the bowels of my lungs and rip every last breath from my body. To replace that breath with the silent screams of faith and hope and wonderment. I want singular moments which provide affirmation that there is a God.

If one needs proof of that I suggest looking no further than the video below.

    Caroe 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 we rushed him plenty not all the time but plenty.

    I will admit that most fingers point to his fragility. Shit! im betting that Aqui will get ripped to shreds in the EPL, with so much physicality not to mention stupid defenders who make stupid challenges.

    Aquismania i know right! De Rossi and the youth team iare making some noise and Vincenzo is starting off great with his team. Hmm, Montella future Roma coach perhaps? hah way to soon to say but it would be cool.

    Heres to wishing that Roma,s primavera remains strong.

    Obviously Mourinho doesn’t like that attitude either. Eto’o on for Balotelli!

    MJ its what those goat fuckers use to insult Roma. Some retarded claim that Romanistas are all foreign due to migration some years ago. They allege that most people from Rome are laziale and all the foreigners are foreign. That would explain why Romanistas outnumber Laziales. Well, at least thats what i read on an Italian blog.

    Well, its starting to look like this game can end in a draw. Both sides playing in their own half and possession play. Lets see how it goes.

    Well, come to think of it, after seeing the replay, it was really sloppy defending of a set piece from Fiore.

    Galloppa is about to go supernova.

    Meanwhile is it me or is Bologna always fielding 5-7 white bald players who look the same on tv? I find myself laughing when Raggi, Di Vaio, Guana and the rest are passing around to each other lol.

    iff Roma win tomorrow their with in three points of fourth place Florence. Not bad standings if Roma can manage a win. It is Bari at the end of the day, gotta win it. They love to tie after Florence lose, just to make sure they dont get to close.

    Menez and Vucinic are capable of demolishing Bari, lets see what you guys got

    Is Totti back?

    Florence? Rossi you see the table tonight?

    And it’s rich saying we’ve gotta beat a team higher in the standings with a much better defensive record!

    I miss the long hair Cecco.

    How is everyone?

    Big match. 4 points off 4th will feel nice if we can get it done. After all we have been through it feels like the Roma of 2004-2005.

    Daje roma.

    i don’t consider Pizarro a diver, he’s more like just a broken Weeble.

    Menez at least is getting better. no one on Roma has to score goals with their hands and pretend that they are actual goals. Henri is such a piece of tepid shit he makes me ill. if it had been incidental, that would be one thing, but because it was intentional, FIFA should rule France out automatically for cheating and suspend Henri for a year. if they really want to teach the world “fair play”. what a douchebag full of shit to see the FIFA web page with a separate section for “Fair play”.
