LorenzoRosanero, you got it.
For all of his many wonderful qualities, Walter Veltroni is a Juventino. We all make mistakes.
Unfortunately, he’s not mayor anymore. Nor is he Prime Minister. Which is unfortunate for Italians of any football persuasion.
I have always assumed that Alemanno (the current mayor) is a Laziale at heart, but does anyone know?

According to this article, Totti hurt his knee in training today, and is out for Juventus and Chelsea at least.
The good news is that Baptista is cleared to play Juve. But of course it pales in comparison.

Well said mimo, that was spot on.
Personally speaking, I have had the same operation that Totti has had twice. The first time I was twenty and recovered great and rode a bicycle 2,000 miles three months after my surgery. The second time was 11 months ago and I still have not recovered all the way. I am a year older than Totti. For him to come as far as he has is amazing. I did start to worry when everyone was saying how amazing it was that he recovered so fast, because it takes time to recover even if you are an amazing athlete like Totti. We expect so much out of our teams and players that we stop thinking of them as humans that have limitations.Posted from

Mimo: Yes, I could not agree with you more on 1st paragraph of your comment. The problem that I have is that alessio’s comments have been getting progressively worse and more spiteful by the day. I can’t help but then defend my own team, in my own home, against his hate, sarcasm, and facades(masked comments).
I’d rather he went back to his old ways.

What you guys don’t realize is that a healthy backline that includes the likes of Panucci, Mexes, Juan, Cicinho and Tonetto can do the job and keep the goals out. Cicinho has greatly improved defensively if no one has noticed.
As far as missing Totti is concerned, if Baptista is on form and we have guys like Menez and Vucinic playing (and if we’re not using the 4-2-3-1 system) we can still score and win games.

Pauly, I understand where you’re coming from and I sense the same spitefulness and snideness that you do. But there’s not much you can do about it, right? Yes, you can debate. But I hope you are not banking on changing people’s minds and inner characteristics! You cant stop people from typing on their keyboards sitting in some corner of the world. And also remember that people who have these tendencies also enjoy riling people up by their comments.
Not to pontificate too much, or anything..

your biggest problem has been mexes not playing hes the third most important player behind de rossi and of course totti. you could do with gettin petrucci back

Also, Pauly it should come as no surprise that some non-Roma fans’ comments have been getting worse. We are having a terrible season so far! There’s not much you can say when Roma was doing best among serie A teams in europe, challenging for the scudetto etc. last season, no? As they say, it is easier to kick someone when they’re down.

Continuing on my defense worries- I will consider Roma to be a solid contender when we can go into a game where we think that maybe our attackers wont score, but with more than 50% chance Roma can grind out a 0-0.

I understand Mimo, not at all, we can’t change people minds. The reason I fire back at alessio, and alessio only, its because the is good at what he does. Complement us a bit, and then disrespect us in the process.
Since many not pick up on that, and other chose to take it lighly, while others chose to embrace it, I chose to POINT at what he is doing, so that people will at least become aware, and then think about what he is doing.
But thanks for your well thought out comments and rationale Mimo!

The only bright spot for me is that our D is finally back.
Knock in training? thats what they call it these days.
U, the mayor is Laziale from what I know.
Ale, Totti is out, does that help you on your injury news?
We can only hope and pray Bestia regains that Bordeaux form.
And where the fuck is the REAL Vuci.

As far as the other MF haters, and most of us know who they are, they don’t even deserve any attetion from me. Others can do what they want. I chose to ignore their simple-minded one line comments.

how anyone can NOT detect the sarcasm and veiled arrogance in those posts is beyond me.
at least with kj you get everything at face value. he certainly dim but at least he’s straight forward and i love the guy for it.

lamagica, I almost mistook your description of KJ with what people say about George W Bush!
Posted from

also lamagica, I am guessing many of us detect the sarcasm and choose to ignore it. However, was it Bashar who went so far as to completely deny that the comments were sarcastic and snide? That is cyber-naivete, IMO.

lol, mimo. you are on fire today starting from that initial post. you certainly show some dexterity for making ‘general’ comments / observations quite specific, without mentioning any names. made me laugh pretty hard when i originally read it.

oops, crossed posts there, mimo. i think we are thinking along the exact same line. yes, i agree, some do choose to ignore while others call it out. however, as you point out, there are also those who cant quite pick it up or actually try to dismiss it, including a few resident romanisti here amidst the non-romanisti that ‘collude’ against us.
as i mentioned elsewhere, there is a cyber circle jerk going on with some of the various fans. thankfully we werent invited.

lamagica, I am glad my post made you laugh. But I will stridently proclaim innocence.
(Note: I am in a profession where we do the “you are wrong/stupid but I say that with all due respect” thing.)Posted from

But also, mimo, when you are down, more things feel like kicks.

lamagica, can we name them the ‘High School Musical/Offside Clique’?
then we can be the Napoleon Dymamites and Pedro.Posted from

True, Johonna. But it is also true that some fans avoid embarassing themselves by slamming a team higher in the table than them. They come out of the woodwork when their team is doing better.
