THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

[red]

Indeed, a heavy defeat would have been on the cards had Roma not been as agressive as they were (I though my 3-1 prediction looked good when Inter equalised. ).

Anyway, at times in the past, Roma would have crumbled in that situation, but they showed balls and kept fighting and kept their composure.

This Roma may not be as talented as some previous Roma teams, but Ranieri seems to have brought some more organisation and spirit to them than they had under Spalletti.

De Rossi will have an operation for his cheekbone, he was a fairly serious blow he suffered to the face. The next few days should tell us how long he will be out for because of this. Also neither Juan or Doni will leave to go on international duty with Brazil due to some peculiar clause we have in place that our Brazilians don't have to go play international friendlies.

Vucinic to Silio Musa, the team masseur, who was respomsible for helping him to recover from the operation to his dodgy ginocchio in August. Its also not the first time Mirko has done so:



He also said he thought he had more time on the ball in that one v one.

He also said he's getting sick of this gay Irish guy who keeps calling him up every evening and saying U te man, U te man. Score me anutta goal and I'll come over tere and oil you're mighty Montenegran bollox.

[RomaShield27]

Giallo-rossi.ie calls him up as well, does he? I knew he liked Vucinic as well buts thats taking things too far, South-side scumbag that he is.

[maro]

I don't think g-r.ie would say "you're mighty Montenegran bollox," edzo. His apostrophes are a bit more under control than your's.

[RomaShield27]

That was just a typo from you, Prof. Get it together man your making yourself look silly (and its nothing to do with the new signature).

Ah now I wouldn't go that far, all foreigners are more than welcome in my country, except for all those blacks, Jam-Roles (Poles), Romanians, paki's, Scots, Canadians, eastern Europeans etc.

[ASR1927]

So Yanks of Italian ancestry are welcome. Phew! Thought I'd have to start packing.

Thank heavens this little sequence didn't unfold in the shoutbox and so will be preserved for posteriors.

[ASR1927]

Yes. Future generations will come to be inspired by the stimulating discourse that took place on these pages here today.

Gio, I'm just grateful we weren't beaten. But as we saw, the lads had to rise to the occasion. I'm also grateful for the international break because it gives us a little breathing space to recover. Often, following such a match, certain teams can look very lacklustre and drained so hopefully we have the chance to avoid that.

On Vučinić, I've become used to the fact that he blows hot and cold as regards his form but I have faith in him and would hate to lose him...I'm glad he got his goal to keep his confidence going after Lucio stole the ball from him...

On De Rossi... Will they ever end? I'm wondering just what the hell we have ever done to the asshole who is our team's guardian angel! Following surgery, De Rossi apparently needs 15-20 days off before he can return, and hopefully there will be nothing negative regarding Mexes who seemed to run off the knock he took. On Monsieur Mexes, it will raise a few eyebrows that I praise him for having a very good game...

Like Deini, I'll be interested to see if Angelini's recent reputed willingness to offer €240mil is concrete or just more stories...Romagiallorossa is talking about he end of this month before we hear anything definite regarding the ongoing talks from last week concerning Unicredit, Mediobanca, Italpetroli etc.

UniCredit are pushing the Sensi family now...there is another piece about Mediobanca producing another buyer in opposition to Angelini which they have not yet done...

Following Totti's recent interviews, I think we will all be very interested to see the terms of his contract extension when it happens...
