Roma-Atalanta 2-0

Roma played in front of an almost empty stadium again, with the lowest ticket sales in years. We had to manage without Totti, De Rossi, Baptista, Juan, Cassetti, Tonnetto and Pizarro. Will we very play our fist 11?! We played quite well in the first half, and just as me and my friends said Panucci should be our striker he scored! He is capocanoniere for Roma so far this season, which is insane for a defender. As for my friend Vucinic who should be scoring lots of goals for us… well he finally scored his first goal of the season.....why we keep him I don’t know... Menez went off to applause again and even Riise got a huge cheer after his shot on goal never the end of the match. Cicihno played well again and it was great to see Mexes back in the centre of our defence. Spalletti will have a tough time deciding what to when Juan is back to full fitness. How can he leave Panucci, our main goal scorer on the bench. “Vogliamo undici Panucci” (we want 11 Panucci’s) sang the Curva Sud. He gives everything, he’s a really fighter and shouldn’t be on the bench. Brighi is also impressing this year, since being given chance to start the last few games due to all the injuries.

Tomorrow we have Bordeux fuori casa – a must win match. We still have an injury crisis and they are now saying that it is the pitch at Trigoria that is causing so many injuries. With so many injuries occurring in training this could be right.

Totti etc wont be back until Roma-Inter (Cassetti even later) in a few weeks time. Baptista will be on the bench tomorrow and Juan possibly for Siena on Sunday but if they play they will have to answer their call up for the National team, which Roma don't want, so they might not play. De Rossi will be back for the match tomorrow night and we have no choice but to win... I’m worried!

Genoa-Roma 3-1

UFFA!!!!!! What has happened to la nostra Roma! What happened over the summer to completely destroy this team. The departure of Giuly, Mancini and Ferrari can't have had that big an impact. We have still not been able to play our first 11...or 10... or 9..or 8... and it won't happen for a while. Totti will miss the match with Atalanta on Sunday and is not definie for the key match with Bordeux in the Champions League on Wednesday. Juan has vannished....Baptista is out for 3 weeks, Mexes should recover for Sunday, Cassetti and Tonetto are injured and De Rossi now has a one match ban thanks to his red card last night.

Again we were unable to score. Vucinic is incapable of scoring a goal so that was left to De Rossi. Menez played well, as did Cicinho, but we missed Aquilani who was on the bench with an injury. Okaka looked good when he came on for Menez. The problem of scoring goals has still not been solved. We need to sell Vucinic for a real striker.

Panucci had a goal ruled of side when he was 3 metres on side. All we need. This would have allowed us to draw and maybe win the match as we were playing slighter better at that time. However, Roma being Roma lost their heads and De Rossi was sent off. It is all like 4 years ago. The refs against us and players being sent off. If we don't win on Sunday I dont think they will have the support from the fans any more. This cant go on.

Roma-Reggina 3-0 - Finalmente una Vittoria

I finally managed to get RB to the stadium and it seemed to bring us luck! The match started with a massive choreography for Franco Sensi, with the ultras presenting Rosella and Maria Sensi with a framed photo of the President. The Curva Sud all waved flags whilst in Distinti we all held up red cards. A huge photo-banner of Franco Sensi was then unravelled over the Curva Sud. It’s been a long time since we last did something like this at the stadium. Probably the Po-po-po-pooo choreography was the last major one 3 seasons ago.

There was also a banner for my friend's cousin who recently had a baby. He also got to go down onthe track and hold up the main banner:

There were more people at the stadium than for the match on Tuesday, however, still not enough tifosi if you ask me. Roma never announce the official numbers of attendances or season ticket holders but it seems we had less than the Laziali managed last week. Not a good sign. Aquilani and Menez played well together and I was actually quite impressed with Menez. He went off to a standing ovation. Aquilani again was one of the best on the pitch. I hope he renews his contract. He is our main goal scorer so far this season. Totti looking more like his old self and set up the goal for Perrotta. Vucinic as useless as ever and missed the usual 100 chances to score. I don't understand why we didn't sell him and buy a real striker. Great to see Perrotta back. Panucci scored again... still no goals by our strikers....... Roma are now in a press silence... not sure why. We have to beat Genoa on Wednesday and keep up the momentum.

Palermo-Roma 3-1 CHE DISASTRO!

The worst ever start to a season since Spalletti took over. We have completely fallen apart over the summer. When we have first team players out injured we are just useless. Vucinic pulled out at the last minute. Mexes, Perrotta, Totti and Juan remained at Trigoria with injuries.

De Rossi, Aquilani and Doni carried the team. Doni doesnt train during the week because he is injured but has to play matches as we have no one else. Pizarro was to blame for one goal. They were terrible. Montella did better than Okaka but still didn't score. We played so well for 23 mins and then fell apart. Taddei missed an open shot on goal. De Rossi suffered a freak neck injury and had to go off. All we need. Cassetti should have played instead of Cicinho. Why didnt Tonetto play as well. Menez was good for 10 minutes and then faded. He keeps the ball for too long and then loses it instead ofd passing it. But what do you expect when you buy 2 players in the last days before the start of the season and give vthem no time at all to gel. We are unprepared and the Sensi's need to sell before they destroy us. Inter won thanks to 2 Catania own goals. Where is our luck?!

Totti left training touching his knee this morning so we will be without Totti, De Rossi, Mexes, Juan, Perrotta and Vucinic on Tuesday. I think we will lose unfortunately.

Roma-Napoli 1-1

Not the best start to the season. Roma were terrible. Vucinic really has to go. I don't understand why he plays. All he does is miss easy shots on goal. We couldn't even beat Napoli in 10! Aquilani was great, Baptista and Menez still haven't integrated into the team. Hopefully this 2 week break will help. We stillneed a real striker. i don't understand why we don't buy one. Meno male Inter, Fiorentina and Juve drew, and Milan lost. However we are stuck with the Laziale at the top of the table for a couple of weeks.....

The match started with 10 minutes of clapping in memory of Franco Sensi and Maria Sensi laid a bunch of flowers in his seat.

Napoli fans were allowed to attend what will pobably be their last away match for some time after the events of yesterday. They could buy 1 ticket each and it was rumoured 10 000 tifosi would descend on Rome. They were allowed to come with the reason being if we can't hold Roma-Napoli how can we hold the Champions League final. The train from Naples was due to leave at 930 but the fans invaded the train without tickets so they wouldnt let the train leave. In the end the normal passengers had to get off the train and the nutters got on and it didnt leave until 1230. The train eventually arrived at 1510 and they got to the stadium for the 2nd half, which isnt really fair when theyve paid for a ticket. They rioted with the police outside the stadium, destroyed the train (500 000 euro worth of damage) and 60 000 euro worth of damage to buses in Rome. They didnt get to leave the stadium until 1930! One Naoli fan was stabbed... as usual. You can see the trouble they caused here.
