Throttling Catania, Ludovicious & The King
By chris | May 8th, 2008Catania 1 v Roma 2 Formality over, and that's precisely what it looked like: a formality. The game was as much terrible as it was painfully boring, especially towards the second half - at least for me. I've had more exciting prostate exams. And, ...

Venerdi Vitriol ! (and some Mercato musings)
By Marco | March 21st, 2008The Roman Derby was Lazio’s most important game of the season. Francesco Totti even laid flowers in front of the Curva Nord, purely because he’s classy. Add to that the fact that Lazio’s European ambitions ended a long time ago and the death o

Luciano Spalletti knows about Turnover ?!?
By Marco | March 1st, 2008This will be short and sweet (ok maybe not sweet, but definitely short) seeing how the game starts in about 27 minutes as of…now. Roma start their crucial month of March with a game in Parma, If you don’t believe me ask Francesco! You’d think

The King Plays, Sven Speaks & Peruvian Beasts
By chris | January 9th, 2008The King Has Re-Entered The Building Let's get this out of the way first: Roma played a "friendly" yesterday (I'd be shocked if it was anything more than a scrimmage). They won. No one cares. King Alberto played the full 90 and scored a peno to boot. A
