It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like A Casualty Ward

Well, I’m off, come back with something better then, “uh huh!” will you?

well, if you actually were totti’s brain, i guess you’d actually have more purpose in life, kj.

is that directed at me, mad? if so, it might be your turn to enlighten me.

la magica , you’re so darn smart…i’ve always wanted to know how to read and write, can you help me?

baby steps, peanut. ask your inner kj or mad for some initial mentoring.

MAD, I cant believe you have to consistently put up with this grief, and somewhat feel responsible this time around. But the fact that this same type of discussion has taken place here, at the Inter blog, and almost everyday at the Roma blog just reinforces my point of the Roman Agenda, heck Johonna even said it as well.

As for you MIMO, the reason I brought that is up is manifest the fact that Roman Agenda extends to all corners of the Serie A blog and we are constantly forced to read the non-biased, intelligent football discussion that is so constanlty churned out. I hope you sense my sarcasm.

it is incredible to see the ignorance and false perception and blind admiration the Roma fans have for their team/players..iam also a Roman by birth, iam a Totti die hard fan ever since i first set my eyes on him but iam sensible enugh to acknowledge that Rona as a team CANT even make a serious impact in Europe with its present players.man united of all people humilated Roma for 2 seasons!!Milan had virtually embarrasses the same man united when it won the CL in 2006..
well, Milan is under a transition and i must admit that the management again got it all wrong when they signed Sheva, Dinho, Senderos this term , here we r talking about the national team and Nocerino´s selection is definately nonsense, preferring him over Ambrosini is scandalous!!Nocerino cant even defend like Ambro, Nocerino has a very weak header, Ambrosini can rise like a phoenix, unexpetdely and score a goal when least expected..iam certainly disappointed in Lippi for persisting with uselesssssss Barzagli, ignoring Cassano……and for selecting spent force Del Piero..i repeat, Del Piero will go down as a Juve legend but he has never delivered for Azzurri

MIMO, my new found friend and blogging advisor, please advise on my posts that you found to be a bit non-Roma friendly, I would like to know which ones they were to try and avoid these things in the future. It would really be helpful. Much Appreciated.

that’s right, porchetta, i forgot you’re from FRIS(I)NONE, caput di un’altro mundi.

so roma wasnt able to get past the eventual cl winners last year, huh. how exaclty did milan, inter and lazio do in comparison? i mean roma’s players werent able to do the job but certainly big-spending teams like inter and milan should have, right. hmmm, my records indicate otherwise. i believe roma was busy beating real madrid in both legs while milan and inter were being ravaged by liverpool and arsenal respectively.

Roma cant even defeat a 10 man Napoli the other day!!i mean napoli looked certain to win that day!!i dont think Roma will even mount a serious challenge for Scudetto this season..they must and should strengthen their defence if they have any hopes of being in the elite..BTW, De Rossi is a great player but he succked against Cyprus, it was bewildering to see him afraid of Cypriot midfielders and trying to avoid their tackles..also he missed many passes and atleast twice gave away the ball easily and Buffon saved the day..only with the introduction of Gattusso, things calmed down as Rino yelled and gesticulated at Cyprus players and urgued his own compatriots to regroup

sorry, porky, it’s fr(i)sinone you were from. regardless, i’m still having a hard time locating it on the map of italy.

lamagica, u dont even cease to amuse me any more, u r pointing that spell mistake of mine always..as u see, iam not FOREIGNER like u, English is not my first language..u and ur likes r all GLORY hunters, not real Italians for me..well.u may be an Italian fan, i just advise u to keep the decency and decorum of the board

la magica, u r a joke..one day u claim urself to be a sicilian, now yu r a canadian italian..u r a Plastic

I hate Matrix and I dont necessarily like Inter, but the ejection was not proper and certainly not warranted. Even then it took a last gasp effort from Steven Gerrard to seal away Inter’s faith. Milan was not as fortunate but I wouldn’t call it ravaged, ravaged would more like what happen to Roma few years back, but I dont want to bring up bad memories for you. You beat Real Madrid, the same Real who thunders through the CL every year? The same Real that strikes fear in the hearts of clubs across the globe? Dont overinflate your success, it doesnt make you look to good.

but de rossi isfair-skinned, blond and blue-eyed while gattuso is olive-skinned, brown-haired dark-eyed product of the mezzogiorno. it goes against everyhting youve been preaching around here…i.e. white is right.

Julian, it is funny because I agree with on Nocerino as I said earlier. He deserves his shot, and I think he can really prove his capablilty. Ambro would have been fine as well, but in two years this team cant rely on Ambro…

Posted from  United States

no, i believe YOU claimed i was sicilian. just because i dont see any harm in being sicilian whatsoever nor feel the need to deny it, doesnt mean i am. in fact, i dont need to tell you fuck all. i will just ridicule your warped sense of the world and continue to laugh.

as for frisinone. you infact attempted to post a map that had that name (erroneous) to prove me wrong. being the brainless idiot you are, you chose to copy that name and insist on it only to shut your pussy flaps when an official map with description was posted for your education.

english may not be your first language but “frosinone” is not an english word.

yes, you are a foreigner. you live in spain and last time i checked spain was not part of italy. you may be confused with “hispania” which was indeed a roman province but that was 2000 years back. a lot has happened since then.

they couldnt even rely on ambrosini this past euro and world cup 06. obviously italy cant and shouldnt rely on him in two years. he can thank donadoni for his cameo at euro.

why should i have the ‘decency’ to agree with you or any other person i dont share the same opinions with? just because you blindly follow exerpts from HOLLYWOOD movies and try to pass them off as ‘the truth’, doesnt mean i should blindly agree with anyone for the sake of agreeing. one day you’ll realise that the most humans would rather use their brain to think critically rather than taking your approach and pounding yours against a keyboard and hoping to make some sense.

as for nocerino, maybe you should consider a couple of things first. nocerino was not a ‘failure’. he is, in fact, the captain of the u21 team. he was used in as trade bait to help land amauri. he was trade bait because juve are already stacked with deep mids with the likes of sissoko, zanetti, marchisio and now poulsen. he was expendable and an attractive option for palermo.

i would call it ‘ravaged’. arsenal run milan right off the park in both games.

the inter-pool aggregate was 3-0. the fate was sealed in the first game.

yes, roma beat the spanish league winners. there is no ‘over-inflating’, that is a fact.

Posted from  Canada

the fact that roma lost to man u doesnt bother me in the least. they are a powerhouse team and went on to win the double. there is no shame in that, considering our team’s means. the issue, however, was how roma compared to the rest and i clearly pointed out that they did better than anyone else representing serie a. hardly a point to debate because it is a fact.

thanks to you, porchetta, the wart on my ass feels a lot smarter today. what is the relevance of this historical rhetoric? were we or were we not talking about what the italian teams did in the recent cl tourney? did that somehow seep through that collander brain of yours?

again, i dont care if you want to bring up the 7-1 defeat. you want to take a single game and use that to define a team’s 81 year history, then go ahead. as for the ‘most embarrassing moment(s) of italian football’, i would probably place the recent calciopoli situation (and the string of other corrupttion scandals) as the most embarrassing moment(s). remember how proud of italy and italian calcio you felt on the eve of the last world cup? remember the derogatory remarks in the media? remember the humiliation when tv announcers constantly diminished the italian game to nothing more than wwe wrestling? exactly. i wont even comment on how embarrassing that must have been as a juventino or milanista (particularly since the milanista also had the added luxury of participating in the cl thanks to having greased even more palms – after all, the only cheated a little bit).

there is nothing shameful in losing a game through legitimate means. there is a hell of a lot more shame in ‘winning’ through corrupt means. fortunately, roma wasnt ‘capable’ to play with the big boys of serie a when it came to that. you are right, we are certainly underachievers…that is, when it comes to corruption, threats, bullying, collusion, buying off smaller clubs and using corporate conflicts of interest as our game plan to win serie a titles. personally, as a fan of the glorious giallorossi, i can live with that ‘underachieving’ tag quite comfortably. i certainly don’t expect someone of your great intellect and thoughtfulness to agree with this, though. thank god.
