Szczesny is a fraud. Alisson should get his proper chance.

Roma has historical merit in Europe?

by Casciavit Tue Aug 23, 2016 9:22 pm

0-3

This is going to end ugly.

This is no less than what we deserve for not having the nerve to take what's offered to us.

No, thats the point he was making. It would see Milan/Inter in over Roma.

Says who?

....'83 final against Liverpool is some way off.

Announcers saying the stadium is emptying. Announcers saying 0-5 is possible.

by Casciavit Tue Aug 23, 2016 9:24 pm

Can't wait for Di Marzio to say Paredes is on sale, and that Milan is offering a loan with an option to buy...but Liverpool and Leicester are offering 20M. Proud

The historical thing comes in for the 4th team. Top 3 in the league make it on merit. Roma was 3rd.

Anyone really think Milan would beat Porto if they were there instead of Roma? I certainly don't.

Serie zzz

When the third placed teams can't qualify for CL . One place should be revoked , not added. It has become closer to Ligue 1 than to top leagues.

Doesn't matter if it's Porto or Slovan Bratislava, we just don't do euro qualifiers.

Milan is worse. I was just pointing out what he meant by it. Its a sentiment that Milan (or Inter) always much better in europe when given the chance than Roma.

by RealGunner Tue Aug 23, 2016 9:28 pm

Biggest shame is that Totti will retire without being in the CL for the last time

@Rincon... I always enjoyed watching the face of Berlusconi and Galliani when Milan lost as they are both crooks. But that pleasure is gone now. Laughing

by breva Tue Aug 23, 2016 9:30 pm

Roma is a weird team in Europe. They are able to lose amazingly. Didn't they lose 7-0 once?

by RealGunner Tue Aug 23, 2016 9:31 pm

As bad as Milan are, I am confident they would do better in CL qualifiers than Roma ever will.

by breva Tue Aug 23, 2016 9:31 pm

I am no fan of AC Milan, but comparing their results in Europe to Roma's (or Juventus's) is silly.
