The last time we won at the Olimpico was a long time ago

2004/05 season. Pirlo scored a penalty and Crespo (with a header i think). Totti was stupidly sent off (like usual in his early days). It was a glorious match, but we havent won there since

We haven't beat them in the Olimpico for four years? wow...

We havent actually got many points against them since Spalletti has been there

Last season - 2 defeats
06/07 - 1 defeat, 1 draw
05/06 - 1 defeat, 1 win

So thats four points out of a possible 18

what? are you alright? this is the first positive result that I remember from you!

Expect us to lose after that prediction from kurt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'm just happy to see the team back in action again. Hopefully we'll go out with the right frame of mind and start 2009 with a win, anything less could mean another season fighting for 4th spot

The last couple of seasons have been particularly humiliating when it comes to Roma, still remember the drubbing we got 2 years back in the San Siro, and last season's game in the Olimpico is another soar spot since we had the game in our hands and threw it away like we usually tend to do when we try to close a game by defending.

All I say is keep an eye on Vucinic, he's fast and I'mo hoping that he will be starting his attacks from the left so that Zambro is the one tracking him not the suddenly shaky Janku

They've still got all sorts of injury question marks. Aside from Vucinic pretty much all their attacking players (AMs and strikers) are hurt to some degree or another.

btw, for what it's worth, Panucci's contract is up for renewal and his agent has commented that Roma have been dragging their feet.

That match is when my Aquilani love affair began. His pass to (Taddei?) was sublime

Nothing unfair about it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dida is 2nd choice for a reason, and the reason being him stepping up in times of trouble. I won't mind a match or two, and then going back when Abbiati gets fit again (though Abbiati has fallen down to the mediocre level, in the last couple of months). Either way would be fine by me.

Abbiati will start in goal on Sunday.

I want revenge for last season's defeat. even though Carlo might just do it again and ruin the night with one of his spectacular substitutions...




- Milan leading and playing perfectly
- Carlo can't take it anymore; an attacker out, a defensive midfielder in
- the plan to hold on to the result backfires. Roma score a couple of goals.
- Milan lose!

This is exactly last that game's scenario...

That pesky little rodent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Scared are you? Kidding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Whoever does, I hope we reverse our recent trend against Rome. Nothing less than a victory will do it for me. In this match and - as much as I hate to say it - against Fiorentina too. Forza Milan!

That plan may have worked if the said substitute wasnt Emerson, and was instead a real DM or defender

If we can't beat Roma now then we should be more than satisfied with a top 4 finish!

I almost chocked on my food when I read that part of Zed.D's post... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I would not be surprised if he was disappointed that Abbiati recovered to play on Sunday, not that Abbiati should stay hurt, but because he was this close to making his first league start of the season. It would be pretty sad if he went the entire season without at least one Serie A appearance.
