THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

Zeman is prone to a microphone, no doubt. He runs his mouth and doesn't hold back and the media have a field day, and he made his fair share of mistakes in his time at Roma, but nevertheless, I think its fair to say there remains a strong element of truth in his words about a lack of unity or purpose within the club as a whole. I didn't post it to provoke you about ZZ once again, even though I was expecting it from you, but more because it holds some truth.

Our new management has done a commendable job in a lot of respects, but the overall focus of the club remains unclear, and they seem more concerned with making sure we have the best social media and attend all the correct conferences and have the right sponsorship then they are with matters on the pitch.

I agree, Red. Mazzarri is a good coach but I don't like his general attitude and behaviour on the side of the pitch. He is your old-school Italian mister who thinks everyone and their mother is out to get them, and can never agree or accept a decision. Although perhaps he is the kind of coach which Roma need – as Colly was alluding to earlier – one who will take no shit and do things his way.

I would not be crying if Mazzarri came to Roma. He reminds me a lot of Spalletti and I think he can do well at Roma. Too much is made of his attitude and really do not know why. He is very well respected and every time I have seen him interviewed he is always gracious and respectful. He may, may be a good fit at Roma.

I'm with Gio on that one. I think mazzarri's stagnated in Napoli, but he's done very well overall. I think they've actually punched above their weight under him. Cavani aside, I don't think that's a scudetto challenging squad.

Collie you should read the libel in the SB by your countryman about you.

One of my friends just sent me this:

I presume its the Irish Roma Clan with the banner. They are usually down the front of the Curva with an Irish flag, and that is an Ulster flag to the right of the banner. Seen the Ulster flag there a good few times, obviously cos of the colours.

Finale di Coppa Italia: Roma sorteggiata come squadra ospitante contro la Lazio
/ 24.04.2013 12:47
Attraverso il proprio profilo Twitter, la Roma ha annunciato di essere stata sorteggiata come società ospitante per la finale di Coppa Italia contro la Lazio: "Il derby di Tim Cup sarà Roma-Lazio: i giallorossi sono stati sorteggiati come squadra di casa nella finale #ASR"

We've been drawn as the home team for the Coppa Italia finale. Not sure if that means there'll be more romanisti than goatcocksuckers as per a league derby, as i think the tickets for final are split 50/50. Still going to be very hard to get tickets id say.

Your season ticket doesn't cover the Coppa, right? Do you have an option to buy a ticket though?

[AS Collie]

I fucking hope so! Sitting through the likes of that Pescara game should count for something.
