I just saw Juve were 2-1 up and WTF!?

Just seeing the score now. 4-2 they trail 10 minutes to go.

Juve were actually 0-2 up . Good to see juve and napoli lose !

Roma 5 points clear and already 8 points clear of 4th place.

Interesting little point worth noting for all us doom-sayers:

Milan have only been beaten by HV, Napoli and Juve this season. In all competitions. All 3 of these are having pretty dang good seasons and are all inside the top 5 in the league.

Amazing how you can paint a rosier picture when you actually examine the numbers and who we lost to.

No, he doesn't. You just underestimate our players. Mexes is way better in every sense than Benatia. And honestly, Zapata would be another player at Roma right now, just like Benatia would suck @ss at this Milan.



Oh wow! I saw earlier it was 2-0 for Juve and thought game over.

And you underrate our players and overrate opposition players. And it wasn't me who talked about Zapata in the first place, x-off mentioned him and I agree with him anyways.

Mexes is better in every aspect than Benatia. It's ridiculous to say otherwise and if we had brought him in, as x-off also pointed out, he'd be just as terrible as Zapata has been, our problem has never been about the individuals. We had top class, best in their positions individuals under Allegri as well and he failed with that group as well and never managed to cultivate a proper team from those individuals.

Like I said, I like Benetia, but he's just a good player, he'd be lost if he were playing in this clueless Milan side under Allegri.


Yeah, and we were heavily linked with him both when he was at Parma and at Villarreal


Yet we're in the bottom half of the table because we're in week 8 of the league and still have not managed 1 single away win, neither in the CL.

The numbers speak for themselves when you look at the table and the amount of goals we've conceded this season


This!


And wow @ Juve. They'll probably come out swinging after this and won't lose a game for the rest of the season as they did last season after their loss to Inter.

All of the above is wrong.

Winning a title is failing.

Are'nt they all

Does'nt Manchester United have a clause for him still or was that only between Villreal and Man United for the buy back option.

Rossi stopped being a ManU player in every sense six years ago, WTF?!

Oh, sorry, didn't know we won a title every season under Allegri, must have hit my head celebrating that first one thanks to Ibra's heroics

I'm not so sure this season is not the same as last season they have Roma up there *** and the rest of the pack following behind sure they will bounce back with a win next week after they play real madrid which they will have to have there A team out on show to get anything out of that game if they want to stay in the CL , then they are back to Serie A where they will need to win and just like most of the players coming back are either fatigued because of internationals this week they will be tired now because of the CL they just played in so with all this in mind its not as easy for Juve just to bounce back and win on the trot at least i hope not.

Well, you might be right, maybe the pressure is getting to them this season. But I think they'll come out all guns blazing after this. Conte is not a man who takes to losing all that well. I'd hate to be in that locker room right about now

Awesome 10 minutes. After Fiorentina's second goal (Buffon's fault) Juve abandoned the defence completely and paid dearly.

We won't make CL this season but I hope that at least Juve won't win the title. A small consolation prize.

The only team I'd want to see winning the title instead of us are Roma. I'm still peeved about Ljajic and the fact that we could have sent the Trojan Horse that is Allegri their way, but that's all Galliani's fault, and they deserve it, simply because of the amazing football they're playing each week.

Anything to keep Juve from winning their 30th title

true

You mean their 32nd.

In their deluded minds do they have 32 titles. just like Inter with their faxed Scudetto

Roma about to make history. the less records to those cheating Zebras' name the better. GO ROMA

In which way? Consecutive wins or? What's the stat sheet on this one?

I think Juve had 9, Roma matched it this weekend if that's the case

Yeah, Juve had nine in the 05/06 season under Capello. I clearly remember that. We managed to beat them on the tenth day.

A related stat sheet on this one is the Ibra powered Inter a few years back. They had a run of what, 16 games? Be interesting how close Roma get to that, which I believe is the Serie A record. But nice to see Juventus deprived of one. The Romans keep this up after the winter break, and they'll only get stronger for the title win!

According to Wiki:

Most consecutive wins
17, Internazionale, 2006–07, (European Big Five League Record)
11, Roma, 2005–06
10, Juventus, 1931–32
10, Milan, 1950–51 and 1989–90
10, Bologna, 1963–64

But I don't get it, what's Juve loosing?

Um, their own personal record. A trivial thing in the grand scheme of things, but at least Roma fans can now say that they have a bigger consecutive win streak than those drugged dozers. I am more interested in seeing just how long can this good run last for the Romans.

Because, well, they get into the 15 range, and the glory gets all that near!

I think it's 9 consecutive wins out of the traps. Meaning 9 out of 9 so far in the league which only Juve have done previously

Yup, that too. Good eye, there, Han!

What do you mean by 'out of the traps'?

Anyway, it's about the first games of the season. From day one until whenever a team stops winning. So far the record is held by Juve in 05/06 and Roma right now.

It's usually said "Race out of the traps" meaning to start something very quickly.

Aye. A relatively obscure English expression, but it's not exactly about starting something quickly. Instead, I believe it's origin is from horse racing. The way the race horses get out of their wooden enclosures (traps) at the sound of the gun. In simpler terms it means right out of the block, from zero to whatever.

And well 11 wins out of 11 is quite good whichever way one looks at it, full chemistry, a cohesive unit. Rare sight.

Yeah I was going to put in horse races as an example, but if you look it up online it's usually defined as "starting out quickly"

I don't look up online because I am an English language encyclopedia! But I hear you!

Haha ... Yeah, Google before you talk, seems to be the new think before you talk

Well obviously you don't want to look like an idiot. Google is like that friend whispering the answer in your eat before you give a reply

Hey acid!!!

But han, really, google? So the mind no longer has a purpose now does it

Nice! Gang up on a simple and humble fan of the English language together. Real classy!

Well I knew what it meant to begin with, otherwise I wouldn't have used it, I just wanted to let acid know that it can be used in different scenarios other then it's intended one in racing.

And shut it, the "t" is near the "r", it's not my fault, total typo

He was picking on me not you as I wrote "t" instead of "r" so I wrote "eat" instead of "ear"

Anyways, what is this???? A grammatical and language for idiots forum?

Ah, now that I read your post, it makes sense. I always knew R7 was on my side. Love the guy!


It is this week.

Historic 10th win for Roma tonight.

They held on in the end, good stuff. Feared they may concede and draw.

Sadly Juve and Napoli both have had impressive league starts as well.

grats to Roma , but tbh they didn'nt look in trouble towards the end at all there defense is actually good... , at one point i thought Chievo might try and mount something but they never really got going from the 70th mark onwards when Roma were tiring. But man there coach you could tell from just looking at the players how much morale boost he gives his players.

Big congrats to Roma 10 wins from 10 is nothing small.

True.


True.


And true.

I wish we signed Cerci when we were linked with him in he summer.

Cerci? He would have sucked worse than Matri. In this team even Messi would be bad, let alone frigging Cerci.

We're screaming out for an actual winger. He's been phenomenal this season after a very, very good season last season. To think we have SES and Niang.

Cerci is a counter attacking player, he'd be terrible for us, just as he is whenever he's played for Italy. Not to mention he gives off the vibe that he's someone who's better at being the big fish in the small pond rather than the other way around.

But considering we'd been linked with both him and Candreva, Cerci is definitely the lesser of 2 evils.
