THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

[Carlo Romano]

Jeff, good of you, thanks for posting a match report while I was in absentia!

The Man, at least there's no stigma attached to suffering at the hands of Madrid in El Santiago Bernabéu as your Milan did. That's no consolation to you but it's no disgrace either.

Ed, I watched the game on Sky Italia at my best buddy's home. Although he is a nerazzurro, coming from Monza as he does, there was no way he was going to rub my nose in last night's farce! We both save those club rivalry jokes for light hearted moments...all you missed was personal temper loss!

Pocari, now probably isn't the best time to hang the crosses on those deserving of blame. It's a time to watch carefully, gather information, then act on it.

James, as things stand I agree we shouldn't be so shocked but it must be said that Roma on form both should and would have the beating of Swiss champions. I'm certain you already realise that...

To brighten threadzo's mood:

Qualche giorno fa l'apertura alla Premiershit, "mi piacerebbe un giorno giocare in Premiershit", poi qualche malumore di troppo dovuto al mancato adeguamento del contratto in seguito alla strepitosa stagione disputata l'anno scorso.

Aggiungiamo qualche equivoco tattico dovuto alla concorrenza generatasi in attacco con l'arrivo di Borriello e in misura minore di Adriano ed ecco che le voci diventano realtà. L'Inter potrebbe virare, già a gennaio, su Mirko Vucinic: i vertici nerazzurri non hanno mai nascosto il proprio gradimento verso l'attaccante montenegrino, inoltre a Via Durini si cerca un attaccante per completare un reparto notevolmente indebolito dalla cessione di Balotelli e tenuto in piedi soltanto dallo stato di grazia di Samuel Eto'o. Ma se mancano i titolari, attualmente le riserve non sono all'altezza e ciò si è ampiamente visto nelle ultime uscite della squadra nerazzurra.

Un colpo da trenta milioni. Se qualcuno si facesse avanti, la Roma, nonostante le smentite ufficiali in merito, potrebbe pensarci.

[Carlo Romano]

Maybe, Tommaso, but not in January!

[maro]

He'd be a good fit for Inter, though - a good partner for both Eto'o and Milito in a front two and able to play down the left in a 4-2-3-1 too. A fair bit depends, presumably, on what happens when he's fully fit and so Ranieri has to make some decisions about his front men.

FIRE RANIERI!!!!! ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH

[maro]

Well, if we wait a couple of weeks Allegri might be available.

[romawi]

What an amazing idea. We trade Ranieri for Allegri and all of our problems will be solved. We can also bring in Leo to be an assistant coach. Having those two on the bench would be like having supercoach maro take over.

[maro]

That might be a little over the top, Chewna. It'd be a start, certainly, but I'm not sure it'd be quite that certain a recipe for success.

[vtec]

i think raymond domenech might be available. he's just like the french mourinho; he's good at taking the pressure off the players.

[romawi]

You're right. I see that Rijkard was fired today. Add him to the mix, and you definitely might have a recipe for success. Certainly not supercoach maro levels of success, but it's a start. Either way FIRE RANIERI ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[maro]

The guy at Zenit SP is doing quite well. I wonder if he could be lured back?

[romawi]

I really do miss Spalletti. He had his flaws, and sure we weren't going to win a whole lot with him in charge (I don't think we'd be winning a whole lot no matter who is in charge), but at least our football was enjoyable to watch. If Ranieri does end up leaving, I'd like to see coach who can get us to play in the same way Spalletti did.

[maro]

I love the way I get accused of being contentious when all Chewna does is swan in and stir the pot.

[vtec]

[romawi]

Are you suggesting that I wasn't being serious in my previous posts? Now I'm going to have to side with the people who were accusing you of being contentious.

[romawi]

[maro]

I think the admin destroyed mine, didn't he? There's no respect these days. I see Lomba's also chuntering about Vooch being a target for Inter over in the Inter thread and I bet he's not even been issued with a formal warning for breaching the site's rules. Standards are really starting to slip.

[vtec]

well, you were stripped of your administrative powers, so it did become a bit obsolete. teh tuna is still teh tuna, though

[maro]

Maybe you could make me a former-admin one? To mark the decline in my fortunes?
