Our first match after the New Year's break! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) On 11 January (my father's birthday) we face Roma, who coincidentally are on the 11th place themselves in Serie A, though they have one extra match. To be brutally honest, I'd hate to be in Roma's shoes, as not only they're finding it hard to win, they are also struggling with injuries to key players, including their talisman Francesco Totti. A vital match to win if we are to keep our dwindling hopes of Scudetto alive, this and the next one against Fiorentina. Behold the Stadio Olympico, ladies and men (gentle or otherwise), the place where this match, as well as the CL final will be held:

According to a report yesterday in Mediaset, Roma have a LOT of injury issues: Totti is definitely out for a while and Baptista, Pizarro, Aquilani, Menez, and Taddei are all doubts with various knocks, etc. Pizarro is apparently the worst of the second group and may require surgery.
Here is Gazzetta's projected lineup: 12 Abbiati 15 Zambrotta 4 Kaladze 3 Maldini 18 Jankulovski 10 Seedorf 21 Pirlo 84 Flamini 22 Kakà 80 Ronaldinho 7 Pato And here's their projected bench: 1 Dida 19 Favalli 77 Antonini 23 Ambrosini 32 Beckham 76 Shevchenko 9 Inzaghi Given that we're well into January at this point, Fishdoll would really like an END TO CHRISTMAS TREES. Ahem. |

I have a bad feeling about this game... think a draw is the best we can manage.
QUOTE Acid, is this reliable? what's the website? So Kaka and Dinho have scored 6 Serie A goals each? This post has been edited by Zed.D: Jan 7 2009, 11:41 AM |

Weather update: Apparently northern Italy has gotten hammered by a snowstorm. Because of this, Milan will be staying in Dubai until Friday, when they'll fly directly to Rome.
(Better them than the Gobbi. The Turin airport was actually closed due to heavy snow and they are returning home by bus. From MESSINA.) |

Overnight, actually. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They should arrive in Turin early this afternoon and will immediately train.
Talked to a friend who lives in Milan, where they got over 40cm of snow. He says it's the most snow they've had in the city proper in the last 20 years. |

QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Jan 8 2009, 03:30 AM) Acid, really nice preparation! Thanks for the stats, finally someone!! Respect, respect,.. At least someone noticed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) Thanks. Takes half an hours to prepare the thread, but hey, I love stats. Gives you some idea of the recent history as well as past encounters. Like they say, it's a numbers game, after all! QUOTE (Zed.D @ Jan 7 2009, 03:41 PM) I have a bad feeling about this game... think a draw is the best we can manage. Golly, if that happens, bye bye Scudetto. For real. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Unless inter and Juve roll down and play dead for us. As I put, one more, just one more stupid loss of points from now till the season's end, and hello 4th place. Maybe even hello UEFA Cup again! QUOTE (Zed.D @ Jan 7 2009, 03:41 PM) Acid, is this reliable? what's the website? Reliable yes, it's a UK betting site (covers.co.uk), the Serie A section there. Anyway, yeah. Like you put it yourself above the goal numbers are different, and I noticed this too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) Problem is I've seen more than one numbers for our top scorers at various sites. Even Wikipedia has give or take one/two goals for Ronaldinho. No certain figure, unless you look at the official Serie A website. I think it's also got to do with the fact that there were some goals that were or were not credited to certain players. Either way, good eye there. And thanks for listing the correct amount of goals! |

With Totti out, this may be our best chance to gain some ground. Roma are all but a one-man team without him, so we really don't have much of an excuse if we muck it up.
QUOTE (Tennie @ Jan 6 2009, 09:23 AM) Fishdoll would really like an END TO CHRISTMAS TREES. Ahem. Heh. Well, Carlo has two bad habits: smoking, and the Xmas tree formation. Neither are easily breakable. (OT, but I also like the recent enhancement to your sig.) This post has been edited by MizNelson: Jan 8 2009, 12:12 AM |
