All The Bull: Troop Benefit, Barcelona, Injuries and more
By Dave Martinez | May 15th, 2008Hey y'all. Before anything, I would like to address this major issue: I HATE ALLERGIES. Last year was the first year I had ever gotten em, and I hate it even more this year. Absolutely hate. But on the bright side - I did catch 6 bluefish and a ...

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, ...
Mercato Short Shorts & YouTubers
By chris | May 7th, 2008Gimme A Purple People Eater I'd take Giampaolo Pazzini faster than you could say "Alberto Gilardino is a has been". It was just one line in Gazzetta, they being the ever reliable ones, so it's not much to get your hopes up over, but it fits, does ...

Let's Talk About Relegation
By chris | May 1st, 2008Not Roma's, stop crying. I'm talking about the potential clubs going down. I always find it nice to start circling in the waters, searching for blood at the expense of others' misfortunes. Last summer our fair Giallorossi made a big splash in the wak ...
My Buddy, Handicapped Smurfs & Phrenchmen
By chris | May 1st, 2008Get Outta Town David Pizarro.: I saw these "Pizaman to Athletico" rumors and immediately dismissed them, because the thought of Spal without David is like the thought of Linus without his blanket, Marcello Lippi without his cigar or Cristiano R ...

Monday Matinee Midgetized Musings (On Wednesday, Because I Can)
By chris | April 30th, 2008Alright, it's a little later than "matinee" - actually it's Wednesday now - but life happens. A lot lately. Oh that dastardly life. Roma 4 - Torino 1 I'd like to send a big vaffanculo to the good people who decided this game was unworthy of a ...
Angel out for San Jose
By Dave Martinez | April 22nd, 2008Various reports coming out of New York that Angel is sitting out the Earthquakes game in Saturdays home fixture, claiming he has reaggravated his leg injury (some say hamstring, others say knee). Its really no suprise to me - he had a noticable ...
Poll of the Indeterminate Amount of Time: Amantino
By chris | April 17th, 2008Alessandro Faiolhe Amantino Mancini SportMedia, an outlet I have zero familiarity with (or I may and just not know it), seems to think Mr. Amantino has been in contact with Mr. Mancio and they're all excited about getting the chance to work with e ...
Bofo Bautista to Chivas USA - What is he worth?
By Alex | April 15th, 2008Some rumors make sense. Chivas USA need a playmaker and a star to attract fans. Bofo Bautista is out of contract at the end of the Clausura. I didn't start this rumor, but I have been watching it closely. The idea of Bofo playing for Chivas USA i ...

By chris | April 15th, 2008Who Wants A Vargas? Pietro Lo Monaco, Catania's sporting director, has been saying for quite some time now that when Juan Manuel Vargas gets sold, the preferred destination is Roma. Not really sure why, could be that he has a school-boyish crush o ...
Friday Afternoon Newsy Briefs
By chris | April 11th, 2008Frank Dr. Bozo Brozzi has said that the next few hours will tell whether or not Francesco is able to take the field at the Fruili on Sunday. Sounds like even if he is capable of going he'll be at less than 100%. I gather we'll only find out his st ...
Ukrainians, Palladinho e Stuffs
By chris | April 8th, 2008Genoa If my sources are correct, the Giallorossi were thoroughly outplayed, yet still managed to bag Genoa's scalp; not unlike the way ManU snuck through the back door and swooped for the three points while everyone was ballroom dancing in the liv ...
Who the hell is George Steinbrenner?
By Magnusson | April 1st, 2008It's not news to say that Robert Louis-Dreyfus wanted to sell the club and has been wanting to do so for awhile now. After the first fiasco with the Canadian Jack Kachkar (that people were already dreaming of calling Kashcow), it has been a very long ...

Newsy Briefs As We Pray For Totti
By chris | March 30th, 2008Praying For Jesus I wouldn't call this definitive by any means, but this is enough to lose your appetite over for the next 36 hours: Francesco Totti is almost certainly out of AS Roma's meeting with Manchester United FC on Tuesday after suf ...
News & Notes As We Await The Ferry Ride
By chris | March 27th, 2008Cagliari Stuffs First of all, Cagliari had their 3 point deduction overturned; thus they are no longer the worst team in the league technically (haven't been for much of the last month). There will be more on that in the preview. Now, Romans wh ...
A Mercato Musical
By chris | March 25th, 2008This week's wrap up of relatively new names to the rumor mill in musical interpretation. (Try not to take it word for word on some of these.) Luis Fabiano.: His agent says he's coming to Serie A and it's being rumored Roma is going to drop a qu ...
Not Yet Silver....Perhaps A Pewter Lining?
By chris | March 24th, 2008No, not you, Alvaro. So Torino has that whole "can't score goals" thing going on for them right now, despite having guys with some decent talent. Maybe they decided to quit while they were ahead after the Parma game. Or maybe the only way this team is
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
Hooray, defectors!
By Sean | March 12th, 2008In response to the news that five members of the Cuban U23 team have already vanished - meaning defected - after just the first game, all I have to say is: Dude, dibs on the 'keeper.

A Weekend Without Action
By jacob | February 18th, 2008Or much news, for that matter. Despite Dave Kitson's very, shall we say, "opinionated" stance on participating in the FA Cup, watching Bristol and Barnsley advance does make a supporter wish that they were having the same experience. The loudmouths who
You, Sir, Are Not A Sir, Ma'am (e Stuff)
By chris | February 14th, 2008First of all, stay the fuck away from my King Alberto, Signora Moratti. I don't like being rudely greeted after a period of Roman dormancy by reports that Inter. and Alberto. are being mentioned together in the same sentence. The only time that is allowed
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
