You'll miss us when it's the Chinese and Indians. Trust me.

Wonder if the Canadians will still insist on wearing at least one article of clothing with a Maple Leaf on it then. Lupa?

Bastards....

[RomaShield27]

Oh c'mon you guys, no need to dramatize, don't you realize that sort of behavior is likely to marginalize and patronize? No need to demoralize and antagonize, can't we all just harmonize?

Jeff. C'mon now, I don't hate ye at all. Just the spupid ones.

Good article from Il Post highlighting Zeman's Pescara. 14 goals scored in their last three games, none conceded.

This looks sensationalist at best, but anyway:

Report: Enrique quits Roma
By staff / Wednesday May 2 2012

There are numerous reports that Luis Enrique has already informed Roma he will leave at the end of the season. This morning Portuguese media claimed there was a deal in place with his replacement, former Porto and Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas. It is now suggested in several media outlets in Italy that Luis Enrique has told Giallorossi directors he has no intention of staying on for next season, as he is tired of the criticism and increasing protests from fans.

The ultras have made their feelings clear by hanging large banners outside the training ground with ‘Luis go home’ written in Spanish. The reports are fuelled by the tacticians comments before the 2-2 draw with Napoli. “I am 100 per cent sure of what I want to do.”

It is claimed there are fractures within the club on this decision, as director general Franco Baldini is very much in favour of keeping Luis Enrique, whereas director of sport Walter Sabatini is less convinced.

“We don’t want to think of a future without Luis Enrique, but perhaps he considers himself to be a problem,” Sabatini told Sky Sport Italia television after yesterday’s 0-0 draw with Chievo. “We will certainly talk it over together at the end of the season and make our evaluations.”

Today Sabatini also spoke to the cameras of Mediaset Premium and confirmed this approach. “From what Luis Enrique said emerges perhaps his desire to leave the club at the end of the season, but that is just my personal sensation.

“Maybe he doesn’t feel supported by the environment around Roma and for this reason, to not create an imbalance within the team and the club, he wants to take this decision. He doesn’t want to spread that insecurity to the players.” The former Barcelona B Coach is likely to receive a golden handshake deal on his exit if he gives up on the three-year contract worth €2.9m per season.

Do you read the stuff on forzaroma.info, thredz? Even if only the headlines? That piece is a summary of four or five pieces there.

[RomaShield27]

Yes. Well, I visit it and scan the headlines, mostly.

[Italiamia]

It's not official, but it looks like LE wants out. Maybe. This whole thing seems to be a story conjured up by the press. The club is trying to convince him to stay but the stinking media is reporting that Boas will be hired. Thus, don't throw that Spanish music in the bin just yet.

Here is the fan poll:

There were Americans wearing maple leafs? Weird. I wonder why. I've been all over and never been treated rudely.

I did once meet a Dutchmen who worked at the Embassy in DC wearing a Maple Leaf which I thought strange.

Totti, Totti, Totti

I felt like this was needed. As good with your eyes closed as well as open. Listen to the names that touch the ball in the build up. Then of course Zampa...
