I blame dibbus. Drucurl's Trinny trannies did a job on his Paki boys, leaving the coast clear for the giallorossi; something must be amiss with his jinx,.

Here's another one to keep Davit entertained:

Strange kick-off times for the last day of the season. Games kick-off at either . I thought they done it so all games started at the same time on the last day (or it used to be on the last three rounds, I think), but this must be a new way of doing it. Here's the fixtures:

18.00
Bologna-Bari
Brescia-Fiorentina
Cagliari-Parma
Genoa-Cesena
Inter-Catania
Palermo-Chievo

20.45
Juventus-Napoli
Lecce-Lazio
Roma-Sampdoria
Udinese-Milan

Full match in , or downloadable .

Ancelotti remains and doesn't know if he'll be fired by Abramovich or not. He said "I don't know what will happen. We have to wait just one week. A week is not a long period. You are asking me a question I'm not able to answer. You have to propose this question to the club, not myself. I cannot give an answer."


Juan: Roma season is a failure
– May 16, 2011

Roma defender Juan has labelled his team's season as a failure after missing out on Champions League football next term. The Giallorossi lost 2-1 at Catania yesterday to drop five points behind fourth-placed Udinese with one Serie A game remaining.

''We had great hopes this season following last year's campaign,'' said Juan. ''We had a good team but we weren't able to achieve our aims. Things haven't gone as planned this year. We are disappointed and our season can be considered a failure. Now we must think about the future. We still have one more game to play and we have to end the campaign with dignity.''

Roma, who finished runners-up in Serie A and the Coppa Italia to Inter Milan last season, beat Lazio 2-0 in the Eternal City derby on March 13. However, since then, Vincenzo Montella's side have mustered just two victories in eight games. Roma host already relegated Sampdoria on Sunday needing a point to guarantee Europa League football next season.

Spent the last half hour playing around with formations instead of revising for my final exams.
I am aware this is hugely unrealistic. Would be pretty neat though eh?

Not a bad formation, though I'm not a big fan of Burdisso as a fullback. It will be interesting to see the direction in which the club is taken - going for Rossi rather than Sanchez, for instance, or for Aquilani would also be statements of a certain transfer philosophy. Without the lure of CL football, though, it will prove rather harder to attract players, no doubt. I would like the priorities for the attacking players to be pace and players who are prepared to attack space. That is what we've been short on. I also think it would be good to bring in another very good more destructive midfielder. Perhaps we already have them in Brighi and Perrotta, but a more robust player who could play alongside DDR would be a very useful addition, I think.

Is this anything to be concerned about?



AC Milan & Roma could face points deduction over Marco Borriello transfer - report
Issues over Borriello transfer come to the fore as business watchdog investigates alleged irregularities.

Roma and AC Milan could be in hot water after the commission which regulates business matters between clubs, the Covisoc, opened an enquiry into the Marco Borriello transfer.

Both teams could face a hefty fine or points penalty if they are found to have broken the rules.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the Covisoc found irregularities in the way the transfer was registered.

Milan and Roma agreed a loan deal with the capital club having the option to buy the striker for around €10 million in June 2011 after the expiry date of the previous arrangement.

But the commission found Roma appeared to have already paid the Rossoneri around €3.75m for part of the transfer last year when it was supposedly agreed as a loan with no exchange of cash.

It's here where the Covisoc has based its inquiry and they are set to ask the Giallorossi for more information regarding the deal.

what better way could cap off rosella's legacy than with another transfer ban?

i am counting down the days to the formal end to the rosella era. it'll be one of the most glorious days in the history of the club.

[vtec]

shit. imagine inter get another paper scudetto

[Lupa]

fook no! That's all we need is a points deduction and transfer ban. Bye bye to being competitive next yar.

Don't worry about that bull shit report.

[Lupa]

The words 'don't worry' don't always reassure a Roma fan. It's what we do well, after all.

Do you mean the report is BS or the fact that the transaction was irregular is BS?

[Italiamia]

[Lupa]

Ah well, maybe we can just send Borriello back to Milan and all will be fixed. (hmmm .... perhaps poor choice of word)

I just look forward to a time this club will be professionally managed. I'm tired of this shit.

[RomaShield27]

I knew we wouldn't get in trouble or a transfer ban over this Borriello thing as it involved Milan as well as ourselves. If we bought him from, say, Genoa, then we both may have received a transfer ban, but nothing will come of it cos its Milan. They're the new Rubentus, don't ya know.

Here's something to make a shitty day even shittier. Spotted by DonSimon over on , it makes the heart bleed:

I was going to ask how he wearing a Milan maglia already – and if it were a Photoshop effort from France Football magazine – but those articles say he was sent the jersey directly from Milan for him to do this interview. Philippe himself has confirmed it for the first time, saying: "I can make it official. I am a Milan player for next the four seasons, and am happy to be part of one of the biggest clubs in the world”.

What a cunting fucking day.

[DonSimon]

Yes, it's a terrible sight. As bad as seeing Aquilani in a Juve shirt. I wish him well but only to a certain extent. It will be interesting to see what sort of reaction he gets in his first appearance at the Olimpico against us.

And I guess because he's out of contract and injured it's all above board, but it still rankles when his contract technically lasts until June, our season isn't finished yet and the transfer window isn't open. I hope there's a legal hitch that fucks Milan up worse than what happened when he came to us from Auxerre
