Stadio Olimpico translated into Spanish must mean Estadio Azteca because my lord that was the most comically biased game I’ve ever seen refereed.
Funny, I was about to cite the Roma blog here (Daryl, is it kosher to start a cross-Offside blog feud??) but Dan beat me to the punch in the comments. And he’s spot [...]

All the hoopla regarding the Champions League has driven me to focus on Thursday’s fixture against Roma, perhaps out of spite.

Similar in style to the turd sandwich Chelsea left at the Nou Camp last May, Fulham’s display in the Urals was nothing to write home about.
Or even commend, other than it did the job and saw us through.
Injuries and breathers forced Roy to make a roster and tactics fitting for an advanced-stage Carling [...]
