Two points wasted. Not a great match to watch especially in the first half, nevertheless Roma were in control, Genoa hardly able to stop the Giallorossi pushing forward, eventually with El Shaarawy opening the scoring. Thereafter not much trouble until madness happened. Madness Daniele De Rossi. In the middle of Roma penalty area with nothing … Genoa-Roma 1-1 “Madness”
This is the choreography displayed last night in the Curva Sud. “We are the Urbe,” we are Rome and Roma. And so it was also in the field, a superiority demonstrated during 90 minutes, culminating in the goals of Diego Perotti and the incredible Radja Nainggolan who did not even have to be in the … Roma-Lazio 2-1 “We are the Urbe”
“There was a point we were seriously concerned to compromise the second place and to ruin the Captain’s party, but then the football God arrived and did justice, with Perotti knocking in the goal the 90th, a vital victory goal, throwing away ghosts, and bringing the right mood to 70,000 fans . Roma breathed, it’s … Roma-Genoa 3-2: “At the last breath”
“What can you say? Nobody could ever imagine such a turnaround, from 0-1 down to a 3-1 victory. A win against on-form Juventus, only dominant ruler of Italian football for the last 6 years, who had recently crushed Barcelona and Monaco, soon meeting Real Madrid in the Champions League final. Last night there was every … Roma-Juventus 3-1: “The Big Roar”
“Spalletti is right. Pallotta is right. Our primary goal is to finish in second place. But now third place will do just fine.

With Scudetto gone, which is better than a second, or … Milan-Roma 1-4: “Bitter-Sweet”
“Lucas Biglia asked Francesco Totti for his jersey at the end of the match today. He’s defined him as a “phenomenal player”. An example of a gentleman fair play nearly as painful as losing 3-1. Our side instead saw Daniele De Rossi jeering the Lazio bench after scoring the equaliser from the penalty spot. Bottom … Roma-Lazio 1-3: “Return to hell”
“The dream is gone. The chase is over. Nearly and almost certain. Roma failed to beat Atalanta at home, while Juve picked up 3 easy points at Pescara. Now only virtual numbers separate Juventus from their 6th consecutive Scudetto. Roma must concede defeat, once again, and must now concentrate their final efforts to maintain second … Roma-Atalanta 1-1: “Game over”
“We believed. We hoped. It wasn’t meant to be? Or weren’t just up for it? The Curva Sud back in the stands. Opposite is the Curva Nord in full swing. The elements of a great derby were all there, in theory. In practice, the stadium wasn’t full with only 44,000 fans attending last night. Both … Roma-Lazio 3-2: “The Great Delusion”
“Game with almost no story to tell of yesterday evening. Almost needless to talk about it, we all saw the result, and the poor opponents, although they had a few opportunities. Some amnesia incidents in defense but within the norm, considering the upcoming match against Lazio on Tuesday. Without much effort, we are to -5 … Roma-Empoli 2-0: “Obstacle Race”
