Vincenzo, mi dispiace. Ti volevo fare un augurio, fortissimo.

Frencheso. Please excuse me for making derrogatory references to France and the national team. I have no love for the coach or the team. Especially when Mexes continues to sit the bench for no good reason. In addition, I take issue with the comments of the French coach, and players like Diarra, whom I consider not to be French. In fact, I consider players like Viera, Malouda, Abidal....etc, as non Frenchman.

I am mindful of the fact the Mexes is the heart of the Roma defense, and I love the guy. Now with Giuly, it is obvious that we have some French players that are vital to the success of Roma. So, remember, it's not personal.

Boy its quiet in here eh. Not much happenin on the whole forums on a quiet Thursday mornin. You have to love the passion Italiamia displays at gouding the French. Nothing is personal, of course – the French football team are an arrogant bunch, have a lot of arrogant and dislikable players (I'll pay anyone €1m to murder Henry, any takers?), and have a coach who even the majority of the French themselves think is a big-mouthed titfeckwadcumstain. And the fact that France have built themselves up a bit of a rivallry with the Italians and all the shit that was stired in the lead up to the French v Italian game (which I watched late last night, which worked out well considering I wasn't one bit tired yet fell asleep about 10 minutes in), all leads to a lot being said. But Mexes is one of our most adored players (I still can't get my head around him being on the French bench), and Giuly is as French as marianne, and both are vital cogs in the romanisti march to glory (well, more so Phillllllipppppe, of course).

And I see that our old friend Glass-bones Chivu is once again rearing his ugly head. He got injured playing for Romania and is likely to be out for up to a month. Good to see he's not forgotten his old tricks. And whats the story with Juan? Did he get injured again playing for Brazil, or is he still not fully fit? I was looking forward to see him and Mexes playing together on Sunday.

For all you crazy Canadians and awesome Americans, are you familar with this site – ? It looks like a good site for keeping up-to-date on all football on TV.

Italian football is now only being shown on one TV channel throughout the entire British Isle's – Channel 5 – and even they're coverage is limited with only one or two live games a week. Its always intrigued me as to why Serie A get such little coverage in this part of the world, it really has. I haven't seen much of Five's coverage, but the one good thing it has going for it is that it is being presented by former Milan Channel host Laura Esposito:



And a link to Alessio Cerci's first goal for Pisa in their win over Cesena last weekend.

And while I'm on a waffling on about nothing in particular, and talking about promising young giallorossi, in my latest and greatest game of FM07 I am currently in the season 2012/13, and as you get a fresh batch of new 'regen' player each season, I've just gotten a new little gem of a player in the name of Romano Conti. Is he meant to be a relation of the great Bruno, or is it just coincidence...? I like to think its romanisti magic, and meant to be. Romano Conti is a central-midfielder, and one of the most promising 16-year-old players I've ever seen in the game (I'll take a screenshot later if I remember), and is touted as the 'new Francesco Totti', and is currently being tutored by Daniele De Rossi. He is, in effect, the next Roma LitM very much along the lines of Totti > DDR > Aquilinho. Romano Conti, magical stuff.

Just found this, certainly worth looking into (not 100% certain if available to North American-based users):
