THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

[ASR1927]

So in closing, then: NYTimes, do some basic effing research!

I mean, all they have to do is google it.

Where is this Estadio Olimpico they speak of in the article?

Or is Roma now so Spanish that they changed the name of the ground?

[AS Collie]

[Lupa]

I was happy enough to see that Roma were actually being covered that I was willing to overlook the mistakes.

I expect today's game to have an unhappy outcome for Roma fans, but at least we should get a look at Viviano, so there's that.

[maro]

Viviano, Lupa?

[Lupa]

Viviani, even. There's only one of him, so it should be singular, surely? Just kidding.

[maro]

We did nearly sign the one-and-only over the summer, I suppose.

[Lupa]

I read that today's game will be the first game to be shown in 3D. Does anyone have any information about this?

Oh, and Viviano should do well in De Rosso's place.

[AS Collie]

It's being shown on Sky Italia in 3D, in selected bars, I think. I've seen the ads, but I'm not sure if you can get it at home yet. And you'd need the glasses and a special TV.

I think Edzo's switched sides. We were supposed to meet like giddy school kids for some afternoon beers, but no word from him as of yet. Perhaps the lure of a new Vucinic shirt proved too great ...

[Lupa]

So you can be in the bar looking like a goof wearing the glasses. If it's 3D and you don't have the glasses, you'll get a headache.

'switching sides' had me wondering if Edzo had ditched the missus for some comely young lad. We do know about his adoration of Vooch. Keep us posted.

[maro]

Strictly, would that constitute his switching sides or his staying true to form?

[forzaitalia]

Can only watch the first half tonight, I play football every Monday at 9

Where abouts is Edzo going in the ground tonight?

There going to be a big crowd tonight, then?

How big a section are Juve getting? They had about 8,000 against Lazio the other week, as Lazio gave Juve half the curva as well as the normal away section.

[Italiamia]

[red]

I know they won't get more than that - just wondered if they'd only get the smaller section.

Is suspect Juve may struggle to open Roma up, because with Vucinic out and Estigarribia expected to take his place, the balance of the team pushed very much towards runners rather than footballers.

Juve being packed out with runners and only really having Pirlo to do anything clever, it could make for a really bad game.

[Italiamia]

The rumor mill is alive and well in the city of Rome. I frankly do not know what to make of this article.

I don't suppose there will be as many US flags on show tonight as there was at this fixture last season, which was the first one after the takeover went though.

Was quite a big crowd at the game last season, too.

Good old mindless optimism.
