THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

We cannot afford to upset Mexes though. He has to renew his contract because it expires next June. Prade has handed him all the bargaining power.

[Italiamia]

Vucinic, Mexes and Taddei are all ruled out of the match tommorow.

[RomaShield27]

I'd post a few predicted line-ups for our game this evening but I fear I'd get another scolding from our resident professor. So with that in mind, its save to say Ranieri knows what he is doing and we should ignore all reports/previews from otherwise reliable sources and wait for Ranieri's official confirmation.

In the meantime, interesting enough read on Aldair, 'Lessons in Calcio' from .

I think we should have been going with Lugano alongside Juan tonight and Behrami down the right. I also think a player like Veloso could have been useful in a game like tonight's.

ROMA e CAGLIARI aprono la seconda giornata di Serie A, con l'anticipo delle 20.45 al Sant'Elia. RANIERI lascia a casa VUCINIC, MEXES, TADDEI, RIISE e ADRIANO e punta sul duo d'attacco TOTTI-BORRIELLO. In difesa spazio a CASTELLINI sulla sinistra, al centro torna BURDISSO Nicolas.

Wouldn't it be funny if Ranieri got the two Burdissi confused and started the wrong one tonight? Hilarious.

[RomaShield27]

I presume thats what the N. is for before Burdisso. Although Chris on the refuses to recognise the name of little Burdisso because apparently he declared Lazio as his “dream move” last year. I think its a good thing we here are above such petty qualms at that.

There sure is a whole lot of fatty Brazilian waste on that bench.

[Italiamia]

[maro]

You're never happy, you grumpy fuck. Why would you start today?

[Italiamia]

[RomaShield27]

Yes, Giovanni, well so Chris says, but its the first I've heard of it. I don't know how much I'd pay attention to what players say in a situation like that, I imagine they just say those type of things because they are happy to be making any 'big' move at all (as is from South America to Europe), and so say whatever.

It will be interesting to see Castellini alright. I'm not familiar with him at all, I must admit (I didn't realise he was 31), so it will be interesting to see how he adapts to playing at a bigger stage, and if he is an able vice-Redser. I wonder how close Rosi was to getting a start.

[Carlo Romano]

Lupa...good heavens, by the cringe, whatever next? I thought the guys were joking around about Guillermo Burdisso in the above posts. Bloody hell and all the rest of it.

No, I tell you what, FUCK him!

[RomaShield27]

Indeed, Carlo. Harsh words for the Junior Burdisso.

So no real surprises in the line-up. It'll be interesting to see how long all three of Menez, Borriello and Totti stay on the pitch, or if any comes off. Brighi is a likely option should we need him but I wonder if Baptista will get a call and how he's been doing?

[romawi]

Are we going to see a 4-4-2 today? Menez and Perrotta on the wings, or are we finally going to see Menez play as an AM?

[Carlo Romano]

Ed and Fahad...you know what, after only drawing our first match I don't care what formation we use. Tonight the result matters even more than my wanting to see how our new star striker does and I'm keen to see that. We all know we have a terrible record in Sardegna and really we want to change recent history, come out with a win. But if history is to call the shots then as long as we do no worse than draw...

[RomaShield27]

Not sure Tuna. thinks its a 4-4-2 while think it will be a 4-3-1-2. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

[giallo-rossi.ie]

I wish the Men in Black dropped by and permanently erased this game from my memory. I'll have to do the next best thing....CANS!!
