The Derby win, in pics.
By salvatore | March 20th, 2008A ROMA SOLO LA LAZIO. Pandev slotted it home in the 44th minute to overturn a ridiculously lucky goal scored by Turddei's ugly face (and against the run of play, on top of it). Like me, Pandev can't hear the Riomanistas talking anymore
Martedi Mercato ; Matteo Moves to Milan ?
By Marco | February 12th, 2008Not exactly the same stripes, but you get the idea Ferrari’s contract at Roma is ending at the end of the season and his renewal isn’t going well. Seems like Matteo Ferrari is headed to AC Milan next year! The Defender, who was signed f
Pfft. Who Needs Totti?
By chris | December 2nd, 2007Roma 2 - Udinese 1 I liked that game. I liked that game a lot. I would've liked it more if they could've removed that magical forcefield around the net which made its not-so-illustrious return, but I'll take it. A commanding win over a team which start
Peru 1 - 1 Brazil: The Poorest Visitor Among the Top Nations of Football
By Bruno Romani | November 19th, 2007After the memorable match against Ecuador last month, expectations were high for the match between Brazil and Peru. Too bad Brazil is probably one of the poorest visitors among the big nations of football. The rhythm of the team was lethargic, poor,

Dear Fratelli Bianconeri, This Comes From The Heart
By roberto | September 22nd, 2007When Sunday afternoon rolls around and you've finished your pre-game rituals like shampooing your Nedved action figure's hair for a few hours, take a few minutes to offer some silent prayer to your plastic idol because there are a few things I would now l
Boys Are Back & Breakin' Down The Bacon
By chris | September 14th, 2007Everyone's Happy To Be Back: Ooh ooh ooh. Roma still exists! I, along with everybody else, can got back to forgetting - thankfully - that Roberto Donadoni still exists, at least for a few more weeks, and get back to the fun stuff. The Grand Imperial Po
UEFA Cup first round set
By Ian Rose | August 31st, 2007Well, the draw is complete, and the first round of the UEFA Cup proper is set and ready. There are some interesting ties here. The English teams seem to have done quite well, while the Germans have gotten some very tough draws. Here are a few of the ke
Season Preview: Defense & Keepers
By chris | August 24th, 2007The Back Five: Roma's biggest question mark for the next few weeks, if not the season, will be the back four - or back three if Luciano Spalletti decides to switch things up a bit. There are a few new faces in defense, and one missing old boy. The bigg
Game Time, For Some (Alright, A Few)
By chris | August 18th, 2007Super Coppa: The first pseudo-quasi-semi-official game of the season is tomorrow, and the first kinda-sorta-maybe real trophy will be handed out to someone. Probably whoever scores more goals. If you've been in a coma, swimming with the turtles off the
Mostly Fluffer, A Little Nutter
By chris | August 14th, 2007The Francesco Modesto Watch: The loss to Juventus has reportedly thrown the management into a frenzy and instead of passively sitting on their ass and waiting for the offer of a lifetime to come via the Tooth Fairy, they've gotten somewhat proactive ab
Andreolli, Modesto & Buckets of Freshly Printed Banknotes
By chris | July 26th, 2007(Just thought I'd keep things mature) * - This deal isn't official, but I think it's fair to say Chivu is on the out very very soon. The details are obviously subject to change, but I've had enough of this whole mess. Prade and Cristina Mazzoleni just
Chivu: You're Dead To Me
By chris | July 8th, 2007Chivugate: Christian, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in
Totti Says: "Pollice Verso"
By chris | July 1st, 2007Pollice Verso: So that Totti character is giving a diplomatic but none-too-subtle thumbs down to Roma's current transfer situation. When asked about the acquisitions of Juan, Ahmed Barusso and Mauro Esposito (I have no clue if it's a done deal or not -
A Potpourri of Useless Flapdoodle
By Chris | June 22nd, 2007The Signings: Yesterday was the day of official announcements and such, and Roma have now officially acquired Juan from Bayer Leverkusen for €6.3m and the full sum of Mirko Vucinic for €7.5m. It was reported earlier that Roma had bought only half o
Aquilaninho & The Mondays
By Chris | June 18th, 2007Doesn't that sound like a failed 1950's Motown group? I'm pretty sure that's also my favorite picture that I have used for the site yet. I really have no clue what context it's in. He might have just scored a goal or he could be belting out a tune, like D
Ruud v Totti & Rumors Galore
By Chris | June 17th, 2007King of Europe Will Be Crowned Today: The news today resides in Madrid, where Ruud van Nistelrooy makes an attempt on the league and Europe, as he is within one goal of tying Francesco Totti for the European Golden Boot and two to win it outright. With
Odds and Ends Roundup From an Oddly Subdued News Day
By Martha | June 13th, 2007It's a holiday in Portugal, but the internet feels like it's a holiday everywhere. Am I missing something? •Most importantly for all of us, the Azzurri held on to the top spot in FIFA's World Rankings, just a few points ahead of new #2 France and #3
I'm Like The People Magazine Of AS Roma
By Chris | June 12th, 2007I've come to terms with it, and I'm somewhat OK with it. I'm pretty sure I've never read a People magazine, though I may have flipped through one in a doctor's office while waiting to cough. But I have a decent idea what they're about, and I think that's
The Weekend Update
By Chris | June 9th, 2007For some unknown reason Roma have put everything else on hold to take care of the Christian Chivu situation. That includes signing Juan, because they released a statement saying no accord had been agreed to as of yet. Rumors are Rudi Voller and Danie ...
Afternoon Updates
By Chris | June 7th, 2007The not so sexy transfer rumors that have evolved throughout the day: a) Yaya Toure wants to move to Inter, Barca, Roma or Lyon. Really? I'd like to pluck random members of the G14 and tell everybody I'd like to play for them too. But honestly Yaya cou
A Public Apology to Fabio Quagliarella & Transfer Nuggets
By Chris | June 7th, 2007After yesterday's performance in Lithuania, I tip my hat to Fabio Quagliarella and offer my apologies. I offer my apology not for insulting his qualities as a player, I never said he wasn't a class player, but for saying he isn't worth his 16m pricetag. U
A Plethora of Absurd Rumours (And Chivu Is Not Going North)
By Chris | June 6th, 2007CHIVUGATE: Martha and I are going to fight to the death over this. Unless you've been living on Pluto, or America, over the last 3-4 days then you probably have heard that a deal sending Chivu to Internazionale is "imminent." For those of us living
The Predictions (Cue Melodramatic Music)
By Chris | May 31st, 2007After all that here's how I think the summer will play out. If you still value my opinion enough to read this, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not really sure I value it much anymore. In summation, how do I expect the summer to turn out? Very very c
Summer Speculation: Incoming Defenders
By Chris | May 30th, 2007Part IV - Defenders: The future at RB is a priority (and it's not Gilberto Martinez), Panucci is getting on in years, and though Cassetti has played well, he is not the long-term answer. Juan should push Chivu out to the left and Ferrari is a solid thi
Suazo: Roma, Come and Get Me
By Chris | May 21st, 2007I nearly fell out of bed this morning when I saw this headline: Suazo Snubs Inter Move. Then, I read the article. I need a defibrillator. Suazo: "Roma? I would come running. Playing alongside Totti would be the crowning of a dream and Spalletti's tacti
