Perhaps, my feelings towards Roma’s recent back-to-back losses can best be expressed through the musical compositions of iconic 80’s Synthpop/New Wave bands. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Howard Jones… “And do you feel scared – I do But I won’t stop and falter And if we threw it all away Things can only get better” Yes, [...]

My apologies for the two week hiatus but that’s what you get when Roma loses again to Lazio. Just as the final whistle sounded, my cell phone lit up like the 4th of July with an onslaught of abusive language in the form of emails and texts from all my non-Roma supporting friends. I truly [...]

As much as Juventus deserve their near top-of-the-table position, they should have experienced their first loss of the season at the hands of Milan this past Saturday.

Have you done anything great in your life 211 times? Have you worn the same club crest over your heart and scored 211 times? When you’re done counting, let me know. You may love him, you may hate him or you may be completely indifferent, but the fact remains, Francesco Totti is brilliant. After scoring [...]

Eight goalkeepers recorded shutouts and 27 goals were scored overall. One step closer to regaining our title as World’s Best Football. As we near the halfway point, the Cinderella teams are [...]

Ragazzi, the winter break is just about over so let’s take a look at this weekend’s games and potential transfer targets. Siena-Lazio December was not a good month for Siena.
