Just look at this pic., i also had tears in my eyes when i saw Daniele's look


Is there any fans in the world that can love their team as we do??? a player misses a penalty that maybe costed the team to qualify to the semis of the CL, and we cant even critisize him cuz he is stuck in our hearts???

Damn, i'am proud to be a Roma fan.

One more thing before i go to sleep, Doni was superb today, without him we would have lost by a heavy score, Grazie Doni.

A terribly sad look on the face of De Rossi. That is the face of a Roman and Romanista. He is not just a man playing a child's game and collecting a huge wage. Everything I have ever expressed to all of you over the years about Roma is said on his face.

I don't care what any fan of any other team says. No, we have not had a winning history. No, we don't have many trophies to our credit. No, most of the players throughout our history are not in the record books. But no fan base or city on this planet has the passion and love for a team like we have for Roma.

I am not too down because of this result. Winning by two goals at Old Trafford was never going to be easy. It is difficult to attack and not give up a goal on the counter. Man U still had enough talent on the pitch to win. Hargreaves, Carrick, and Tevez cost more than our whole starting lineup. They can buy players like Park just to sell jerseys in the Asian market. Arsenal fans always speak about the beautiful football they play but nobody will remember the beautiful football of the second place team who made the Quarterfinals in the CL.

If Soros wants to spend the last ten years of his life trying to win a CL and Scudetto bring it on. Soros is not looking to fail. Can it get any worse than this? It seems like we have had the same conversations since the soccerage days. I just want to compete.

It could be worse. We could be fans of the team this guy plays for:

So did you beat that bleeding horse or what? C'mon now, get it out of your system. Maro likes doing a good beating over four-legged creatures.

Am I the only one worried at the thought our beloved club might be owned by a palindrome? Better a parrot, for sure.

De Rossi devastated after Roma miss
www.uefa.com – Thursday 10 April 2008

AS Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi admitted his first-half penalty miss was the pivotal moment in the Italian club's 1-0 UEFA Champions League quarter-final defeat at Manchester United FC.

Over the crossbar
Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Roma were handed a potential lifeline when referee Tom Henning Øvrebø adjudged Wes Brown to have fouled Mancini on the half-hour. However, De Rossi, who had scored the Giallorossi's winner from the penalty spot against Genoa CFC last weekend, sent the ball high over the crossbar.

'A different match'
"It was not a penalty to make it 2-0 in the last minute, but still I think the game would have changed if I had scored," said the Italian international. "I'm very disappointed and I think it hurts twice as much because I'm from Rome and a Roma supporter. We came to Manchester confident and ready to fight. The first goal was there, eleven metres away from me, but we all know what happened. It would have been a different match if we had taken the lead in the first half.

'Deeply sorry'
"I wanted to take the penalty as I did on Sunday against Genoa," added De Rossi, who scored one of Italy's spot-kicks in the 2006 FIFA World Cup final. "It was a highly-charged moment and probably I had too much time to think before taking it. I've scored penalties in important games like the World Cup final during my career but tonight I was less fortunate. I'm deeply sorry. I hoped that this would not have happened to me, especially tonight in a special game like this."

Domestic prospects
Although Roma eventually succumbed to a 70th-minute Carlos Tévez header – which spelled a third defeat at Old Trafford in the past 12 months – De Rossi remained upbeat about their prospects for the remainder of the domestic campaign. Roma sit four points behind Serie A leaders FC Internationale Milano with six rounds remaining and are also through to the last four of the Italian Cup. De Rossi said: "Now we will try to win the Scudetto. I think tonight we confirmed we are a great team and we want to win trophies this season."

Shield, when you say a dead horse, do you mean Fonz? Because you know I hold him personally responsible for the penalty miss. If he hadn't filled DDR's ears with that ridiculous strategy of his, we'd be looking forward to a semi-final tie with Barca this morning.
