I guess nobody here has heard about King Andrea Pirlo

And even our own Christian Ledesma

Well well, Loyika grin.Seems our beef is over wink.Guess Arsenal's loss has put you in a gentler mood grin grin

Anyway,be realistic.ACM was already a crap team before you guys beat them.They were full of tired old legs and bodies and hadn't been doing well before Arsenal went to the San Siro. That made it easier for you guys to win,and that's fact. Yeah,they beat us last season,but whatever the reason or reasons were i don't know because i dint watch that match.So i'm not going to analyze what i don't know about.I'm only talking about this season.
Roma is a good team on a normal day.If they weren't,what are they doing in the semis of the UCL?Just too bad for them that they've lost their playmaker Totti,and United is a much better team.Even you will have to be biased not to admit that.I'm so sure that right now Roma can thrash Arsenal without too much struggle.
Cris

How can a team that whipped Man U 3-0 last season and go ahead to lift the trophy turn to a crappy team in 1 season.Not a fan of the diavolo but we shldnt be too hasty in writing them off.They have been called ttired legs for so long and they keep winning big trophies, That being said Arsenal treated their season as a 100m dash and not a marathon

Now that the last 100mtrs matter a lot, they cant find the energy to push on.The mental strenth is no longer there too. Which makes me as why did WHEN-GAY rest Walcott when he's fitter than most on the pitch havent not played as much. Fabregas is obviously tired.

Adeba-YUK is crap personified.Theres clear lack of depth too in the midfield area seeing as there are no alternatives to ROsicky and Hleb and Flamini.

Dont know if we saw the same game but that was a clear penalty to me

Hoping that United hammer Roma tonite. It would gladden my hear 4 real.

I will leave Arsenal and their fans to bemoan another Trophyless season.


FORZA Biancocelesti

Owen sure as hell deserves to be on that list given the expectations on him

Yea he scored goals for them but on the whole and strenght of his play for Real he didnt deserve a starting spot.

Roma might have false hopes of clinching a win because of our defensive problems at present. But they'll have to score 3 unreplied goals to get past us. .and that is impossible, even on our worst night. Everyone is afraid of the Vida-Rio partnership and are more than happy to see them both out. But we have cover in Pique. Now that Gary and Silvestre are back, they can add their own bits. Evra, Brown, and even Hargo are very much in. Fergie just needs to get a balance in the defence and make sure everyone helps out. I know we'll do Roma enough justice. . Its the remaining league games that matter right now. We have to get a win against Arsenal, no matter what. . The other teams, we must be wary of because they might act as banana peels. .
But we are very resilient. . And this is where our true strenght would come out. .
Kunmi,

Seeing that u guys would be playing with defenders that hardly have understanding of themselves.just strengthen the defensive midfield. Remember wat happened witth Heinze and Evra bumpin into each other for Kaka's goal against u guys at Trafford last yr.

Clear lack of understanding. Emphasis shld be on shoring the midfield so defence is adequately covered, U already have 2 away goals.Soak their pressure and hit em on the break with Ronaldo and Tevez. No need dissipating energy on attack, This is football Belief is everything Roma are coming with the belief they can do it. Giallorossi fans and staff are all running their mouths right now in Rome. It's unbearable.

They just need 2 deflections and they would be a shoot out,

Fellow members

Pls help with this In no particular order

Being a Lazio fan my no 1 would be

1. Gaizka Mendieta

Came with a big reputattion from Valencia in 2001 for around 30 million pounds and boy did he flop. So many inconsistent performances sent him to Boro to end his career. We wasted money.

2. Denilson. Some will say he's the biggest flop ever.After the 98 world cup. his move to Betis was the talk of the world. 10 yrs later, his footprints are nowhere to be found.

3. Macmanaman and Owen to Madrid

Many will want to sy they tried.But truth is they were not Galacticos quality. Nothing more to say

4. Shevchenko to Chelsea

What more can i say??Kristen Pazik made him move from the San siro to London cuz she wanted him to learn English and their child to grow up the English way, The english part is some what justifiable seeing that Sheva can string many words in English nowadays, wat happened to his football;??

5. Mateja Kezman

Just like Ruud boi he came from Holland after finishing as goleador in the league.Just couldnt adapt to the English game.Same for him at Athletico now he's in Turkey. Will keep following his every floppy "DRIVE" in world football

6. Boumsong

My God what a flophuhhuhOverhyped at Rangers. First sign of quality attackers in the Premier Legue and he failed. Even in Serie B with juve he failed. He's getting games with Lyon now and i'm sure he's failing. How Domenech preferred him to Mexes at the world cup only God will ever know,

7. Baptista

Given his overhyped status leaving Sevilla. the beast has failed considerably.At Arsenal he never got to the pace of the league.Back at Madrid he's still not that star player he was at Sevilla.

8. Ricardo Oliveira

Imagine Milan paid 16 miilion plus gave out another flop in Johan Vogel to Betis for this medicre one season wonder. He ruined Milan's season domestically last yr. he's getting sum goals now at zaragoza but not up to the pichichi staus of a cpl yr's ago

9.Rivaldo

Rivaldo's move to Milan was supposed to make them a force to reckon with. He tried small sha but didnt live up to his Barca and world cup 2002 quality. Though he won a UCL medal with Milan in 2003 b4 he left.

10.Celestine babayaro

Just had to mention this one. His move from Chelsea to newcastle was supposed to get him first team football but got him first class downward spiral career wise. To think he didnt even kick the ball for Galaxy b4 he was booted summarize his flop

Notable mentions are

Rozehnal to newcastle and to Lazio.Has really flopped. Where do Newcastle get dis ppl from??

Sidwell to Chelsea
Alan Smith to Newcastle
Jankovic to Palermo
Lucarelli to Shakthar
Wilhemsson to Roma

Red devils

Stop crying over missed points and look ahead to the game against Roma and how u intend to finish em off.

I propose that United pack the midfield with hargreaves Carrick, Just defensive minded ppl there. Seeing that u would be missing Vidic and Rio. Cpld with the fact that Roma are coming to attack u guys.

Kill em off on the counter. Ur defence will be suspect keep dat in mind especially without those 2. so u need the cover from midfield. Ronaldo shld be given a free role. And sum1 pls tell dat gum chewing old man to play Tevez and bench Rooney. Tevez will be more fired up for this.

I'm a Lazio Ultra fan (Irruducibili) born and bred in ROme. So u know i hate Roma with all my guts. Talk in Rome now is that of loopholes in the United defence which they can exploit. Dont think Totti is fit. But he may travel.

Met Matteo Brighi in a cafe on Sunday and he said they would be attacking from the whistle, Pls exploit the spaces they give up.

Forza Lazio
Irruducibili 4 life
