    Spal picking up Bruno Conti in the air and the moment when wearing a Roma shirt and running like mad man…
    this video let’s you forget all the bad what has happened till now with Roma and Spal(maybe only brief but fuck that),it showed why we can’t/mustn’t/shouldn’t ever forget Spal in Roma history

    Viggo Mortensen says he’s a Roma fan.

    Yeah, I know it matters little in this time of crisis, but I’m tired of seeing all the bad news (selling players, canning the coach etc.) and this amused me.

    yea VIGGO MORTENSEN,Aragorn from LOTR

    I think it’s nice to see famous people paying attention to Roma,some while ago I watched tv and saw Matt Damon (from the 3 Bourne movies etc) wearing a Roma hat! Hell I don’t even have such one but Matt does :D

    god I’d love to see Jessica Alba in bikini with that big Roma beach ball from DDR ;)

    When the fuck will journalists get a clue?!? Roma don’t have debt, Italpetroli has debt.

    No Jonas, think about this instead:

    Jessica Alba with a ROMA bikini with one Lupo on the back of her bottoms while another Lupo enjoyably smirks in the front side….!

    Yeah I was gonna post that too Caroe, someone pointed out on here, that the general rule of thumb, when it comes to goal.com, is if you dont see an “quotes” from sources, its most likely B.S.

    I hope she’d sell the team before she sold the players, especially Mexes and Aquilani, who are so integral to the club, on the pitch and in spirit.

    I dont know much about the Sensis company, but it seems to be a massive debt that wont likely be paid down, especially not in this economy, so this lack of funds could be a continual problem….maybe she’ll do the right thing and find a new owner.

    Well.. If Italpetroli has debt that they need to pay back, the first thing that gets affected is Roma. They will sell players to service the debt or sell the club itself. And the fact that the bank can take over a majority control in Roma at any moment is even more worrying.

    If we don’t make the CL you will see Juan, Montella and possibly Aquliani leave unless Rosella sells the club. She will have to.. I really can’t see any way around this. I said before that she will sell eventually even with the CL money but without it… yeesh..

    That video was fantastic.. I wanted to get out there and protest and riot on behalf of Spalletti.. haha.. It really got my blood boiling at the thought of him being made the scapegoat for this.

    It’s not just goal.com. Many newspapers say so. Also so-called respected Italian papers.

    Journalists suck.

    Agree to your rule of thumb, though.

    can’t wait for Cassano to return to the Olimpico,I think he’s learned A LOT since he left us and got (a little) more grown up,let’s hope for Juan-Panucci he isn’t in his Peter Pan form tomorrow

    Well guys, what do you expect? When any any team is going through the crisis that Roma is going through, especulation will naturally, and logically, will be raised about the future of the team if they fail to qualify for a CL position.

    So it’s not a rumor, but rightful speculation, about what will happen to the players at the end of the campaign.

    Selling Montella will really bring in the big bucks. Maybe S. Kuffour FC could be persuaded :-)

    Yeah I knew someone mentioned the goal.com rule of thumb, but I couldnt remember who…but I think its a pretty good standard.

    You gotta wonder why shes hung onto the team as long as she/they have, if theyre in such debt, they cant field a competitive team year in and year out, its not really fair to the team nor the fans.

    An oil company has got to be more valuable than a soccer team, so I would imagine they’d would try and save that by selling the club.

    Id be fine if they sold Baptista, hes proving to be useless….the core of the team (totti, ddr, aquilani and menez,mexes and possibly vucinic) need to stay intact, otherwise I’ll lose my sanity.
