THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi I

Headbutting incident...? I told you to keep that quiet.

I'm currently traveling back from Wexford, spent the (long) weekend down there on the piss. Sounds like a decent result from the weekend considering all our absentees, although it doesn't sound so promising for Rube. We'll still stuff them bitches good though.

Oh and happy St Paddy's Day to all (insert funny drunken hungover smiley here)

[maro]

Does this mean I get to be called Beavis?

Uuummmmnnn...well here's some predictable news to cheer us all up! Or not...

Mediaset tells us Juan is on a 10 day break in Brasil. He needs physiotherapy so he has been granted leave to get his treatment at home. As for our fragile hot-shot Aquilani, he is out for 15 days...

Tommaso, I guess that answers your thoughts from a few days ago on how his fitness would affect us against Juventus.

'Moldo, yeah, as Tuna rather wryly points out, bet on seeing one or two of the primavera getting an appearance from here on in though I'd like to hope it's only as a substitution towards the end of a game we are winning...

Ed, a belated happy St. Paddy's day to you, sor! I got this sent to me by an Irish guy I know...

I didn't say anything, I just sent him a pic of the Italian squad with the 2006 World Cup by reply...

Who says I gotta no style?

[Jamoldo]

I don't think the Irish qualified for 2006, did they? I thought it was 2002 and with the Roy Keane incident.

Of course I am not optimistic against Juve this week, I'm scrapping onto some kind of desparate sense of hope/optimism. But yes Carlo, I agree with you.

Tuna, I can't complain. I'm in HK and I've still got a job and my health, so no complaints at all for now. How are things back in DC?

[romawi]

Things are going good in DC, Jam. I'm graduating in May, so I don't know if I'll still be here next fall. I've applied to a few grad schools, so we'll see how it goes. All I know is that I'm really not looking forward to fucking working, especially back home. The life of a college student is too good to give up.

[Jamoldo]

Tuna, do you have any money saved? If so, (or if you can somehow start temping and saving up) go study abroad. It can be damned cheap, lots of fun and you can meet lots of people and learn about yourself. It also takes the pressure of finding a job for the next year or more. Of course in my specific case it was China (Beijing - one can spend even less money by being in a smaller city), but something similar in India or plenty of other countries (in Latin America, Asia, Africa etc), depending on what you want.

There are also more scholarships and grants for grad school/study than you think so a visit to your school's scholarship and graduate school advising office (if you have not already-I found out about it very very late) yet, do so ASAP.

I think working is underrated, provided you like your job/industry. I know I won't be at my current job forever, but hopefully something within the industry later. There is a kind of independence that I cherish, which I don't think many people realize or think about. After the gov't takes my taxes, I can pretty much do whatever the fuck I want with it. I have my own place to live, pay my bills, clean my place etc. I'm independent (I guess).

[maro]

Well, as independent a nice Indian boy can be - in between daily phone-calls to his Momma to let her know he's brushed his teeth and not over-salted his dal.

[Jamoldo]

I'm a southy Marocchino, don't do the dal too much. Though I do rock the peanut butter and nutella toast (on separate pieces of bread) I don't think my mom would do the daily phone call (if so it would be a minute), weekly or fortnightly seems to be sufficient. They're used to me being outta the house.

[maro]

You should hear what she says to her friends, though: "He never calls his Momma. Me worry. His Poppa worry too. He never eatsa the dal; it'sa alla peanutta butta and jelli and toasta. His momma worry about her wee Giamil. We giva him everything and he treatsus like a hotella. He has a heart of flinta."

She is, oddly, a southy-Marocchino-Italiana Momma, but you get the pitcher.

[Jamoldo]

If only she made pasta like one....

mmm it reminded me of my host mother in Rome a few years back when I lived in the Eternal City. Handmade pasta. Like on a nightly basis. My god I still drool when thinking about.

[maro]

Oh my lord. If the Fonzarelli is around he's going to have a field-day misquoting you there, 'moldy.

[maro]

Indeed, I'm not even sure he'll have to do much misquoting - normally he likes his challenges like he likes his men: a bit harder.

[RomaShield27]

lol Don Tommasino, thats a low blow, but I'm not so sure if the Fonz will bite back at you in the way your hoping. Nice to see a bit nonsense talk back all the same. Things don't look good for Totti for the weekend eh:

TRIGORIA: TOTTI, LA JUVE SI ALLONTANA. QUALCHE SPERANZA PER PERROTTA. PROBLEMI FISICI PER PANUCCI E LORIA
– pubblicata mercoledì 18 marzo 2009

Secondo allenamento settimanale per la Roma in vista della sfida di sabato sera contro la Juventus. Ancora assenti dal campo Totti e Vucinic, che restano in dubbio per la gara dell’Olimpico. Non si sono visti sul terreno di gioco Motta, Diamoutene, Taddei, Aquilani e Baptista. Differenziato per Perrotta (giri in bicicletta) e Cassetti. Menez ha prima lavorato a parte, poi si è unito al gruppo. Cicinho e Juan (in Brasile) alle prese con le rispettive riabilitazioni.

Problemi per Panucci nel corso della partitella. Il difensore savonese, in un contrasto di gioco, ha avvertito fastidio al ginocchio sinistro. Guai fisici anche per Loria, che ha rimediato un trauma a una caviglia. I due difensori hanno abbandonato il campo.

Dopo il riscaldamento, il gruppo a disposizione di Spalletti ha effettuato un richiamo atletico: skip e allunghi. A seguire subito partitella. Gialli: Artur, Panucci, Mexes, Loria, Tonetto, Brighi, Montella. Rossi: Doni, Riise, De Rossi, Pizarro, Filipe, Menez, D'Alessandro.

La giornata soleggiata ha portato a Trigoria circa cinquanta tifosi, che hanno atteso l'uscita dei giocatori giallorossi. Il più acclamato è stato De Rossi. Baptista ha lasciato il Fulvio Bernardini scuro in volto, senza fermarsi con i sostenitori presenti. Loria, invece, ha rassicurato i supporter sulle sue condizioni: "La botta alla caviglia? Sto bene, niente di grave".

PROBABILE FORMAZIONE (4-3-1-2): Doni; Panucci, Mexes, Loria, Riise; Filipe, Brighi, Tonetto; Baptista; Menez, Vucinic.

SQUALIFICATI:
De Rossi
Pizarro
Motta
Diamoutene

DIFFIDATI
Vucinic
Aquilani
Taddei

IN DUBBIO:
Totti (problema al ginocchio destro)

INDISPONIBILI:
Cassetti - lesione distrattiva di secondo grado a carico del bicipite femorale della coscia destra
Perrotta - lesione muscolare di secondo grado a livello dell’ileo-psoas
Cicinho - lesione dei legamenti crociati del ginocchio destro
Juan - lesione ai flessori tra il 1° e il 2° grado coscia destra
Taddei - lesione ai flessori di 1° grado coscia sinistra
Aquilani – distorsione alla caviglia

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feck me just look at all the players we are missing. What the hell is going on. And what the hell is the matter with that Aquilani? The kid is just a walking injury, a disaster zone. He should be paying Roma to 'play' for them.

Oh and the Samp game from the weekend is in the , I'm currently downloading it now – is it worth watching? Things are finally getting back to normal after a hectic few weeks and I've finally some free time to catch up on the finer things in life, like la magica.

[Pauly W. Nuts]

I want to say some shit so maybe it will rile people up here, its dead ya'll!.........

I think Totti is old and he sucks. Let's send him to a condelescent home, fast. I think DDR is overrated and he couldn't survive in any other league, but only the slow and boring-ass Italian league. Vucinic is unknown outside of Italy, and he fucking can't score goals; he only scores against easy teams. Mexes is poor, just look at his record in International play......Juan? Niggaaaahhh please! Fuck spal he sucks, he is nothing but a numbNut!

Oh, and Inter is superb! The best team in Italy with the best coach in the world! Morratti is an upright man and he doesn't get the credit he deservez!
