THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi I

[RomaShield27]

Regarding the yellow-card suspension situation, I thought Mexes was at risk too, but he is not? That is good. DDR must avoid a yellow at all costs, otherwise we may not as well travel to engerland.

Got this from the

AS Roma - Perrotta will miss the first leg against Man United having already reached the yellow card limit, and his teamates, Cassetti, Cicinho, De Rossi, Tonetto and Vucinic all one one away from missing a game. A couple of really vital ones there, Roma will need DDR particuarly second leg.

Manchester United - Nani and Evra are the only players who are one yellow away from missing a game for United at the moment.

I am a nervous wreck already in anticipation of the game tomorrow. Its going to be one hell of a ride.

Champions: a rischio finale a Roma nel 2009
www.corriere.it – 31 mar 15:21 SPORT

ROMA - L'Uefa potrebbe togliere alla citta' di Roma l'organizzazione della finale di Champions League del 2009 in caso di nuovi incidenti allo stadio Olimpico o di mancate garanzie da parte della polizia italiana sulla tutela dell'ordine pubblico all'esterno dello stadio. E' l'avvertimento lanciato da William Gaillard, portavoce della confederazione europea, alla vigilia dell'andata dei quarti di finale di Champions in programma domani all'Olimpico tra Roma e Manchester United: "Se si dovessero verificare nuovamente incidenti come quelli avvenuti in occasione di Roma-Real Madrid dovremo riconsiderare l'ipotesi di far svolgere la finale della Champions League del 2009 a Roma. E' un problema che riguarda la citta', dopo molte partite giocate a Roma ci sono incidenti fuori dallo stadio, ci sono incidenti in citta' e attacchi ai bus, ci sono tifosi accoltellati. Ci sono gruppi di criminali, gli stessi che hanno assaltato le caserme dopo la morte di Gabriele Sandri". (Agr)

Don't know if this is a shallow threat for UEFA or what but we risk losing the 2009 CL final being held in the Olimpico if there are repeated incidents outside the ground. And what if the ManUre fans are the one's causing the fucking trouble, will that be blamed on us too? Fuck off UEFA the 2009 CL is ours not only to hold, but to win. Fuck sake nothing is going right today.

[p_maldini_3]

the thing that sucks about that 'threat' from uefa is that its the fucking manc's that always start shit.

they'll purposely look for a fight tomorrow, and the players will be targeting de rossi alot too...

[Italiamia]

It looks like De Rossi has a fever. Shall we add another to the list of pivotal players who cannot go tomorrow? I think we all know that De Rossi would probably have to be on his death bet to miss the match under these circumstances.

[RomaShield27]

But who would he have the bet with, grande Italiamia?

Rome could lose 2009 Champions League final
Monday March 31, 2008 – www.guardian.co.uk

Rome is at risk of losing next year's Champions League final if there is violence at tomorrow night's quarter-final first leg between Roma and Manchester United at the Stadio Olimpico.

There was trouble last April when United played Roma at the same stage of the Champions League, when police were accused of violent attacks on English supporters inside the stadium. There was also fighting among fans outside the ground when Roma hosted Real Madrid last month, and there was widespread rioting in the Italian capital after a Lazio fan, Gabriele Sandri, was killed by police at a highway rest stop in November.

"If there are more incidents like those that happened at the Roma-Real Madrid game we will have to reconsider the plan to have the 2009 final in Rome," Uefa spokesman William Gaillard said today. "It's not a problem connected to soccer by itself. It's a problem that regards the city. Many games in Rome are followed by incidents outside the stadium, incidents in the city and attacks on buses and fans knifed. There are groups of criminals, the same ones that attacked police stations after the death of Gabriele Sandri."

Italian police have conferred with their Manchester counterparts to develop a detailed security plan for the game, and Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has issued a warning to the club's fans over the matter. "I have a lot of confidence in our fans," Spalletti said. "They have taken notice of the dangers that could come with bad behaviour. It would be good if they show the true valour of sport. I expect better behavior than we've seen until now."

Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi also addressed the issue. "It was very serious that in the past people have gone home from Rome injured or knifed," De Rossi said. "I don't believe in making appeals. The important thing is that the fans go to the stadium only to support their team, not to cause violence."

United fans have been warned to avoid flashpoints where Roma's Ultra fans are likely to congregate, and not to travel by metro.

Bagg that's one of my facebook quotes. Personally I've got some butterflies, but nothing too big. We're the underdogs, especially with Totti and Juan out, Perrotta suspended and De Rossi fighting a fever. Let's just see how this goes. I think we'll be ok and a conservative home display in order to keep a clean sheet would not surprise me one bit.

I can see us being very very happy with 1-0 to the good guys.

I also see that some papers have Panucci starting ahead of Ferrari. Opinions? I think that Panucci would be good to bring on late in the game to calm things but that we will have to risk it with Ferrari, he's more physically adept to handle Rooney and co. I want Cicinho and Taddei on the right side.

[SPqR]

As far as who to start over who and what this game is going to end up like, I DON'T KNOW...I haven't the faintest idea of what to expect.
