Travel Guide -- Rome, Italy- The dream that was Rome

Are you off your meds???!!!

..... I just read the most audacious rumour.... Krasic offloaded for Adebeyor. This is outrageous, why in the Love of everything holy, would they do this? Krasic is by far one of their talented players, he's young, pacy and more than anything else.. he wanted to go to Juve which show desire and hunger to prove himself. On the other hand Emmanuel is a stroppy player and a bit of a diva- if they're thinking of getting him, why not just get Cassano- they're both ticking timebombs that would do more damage than good!

Krasic admitted earlier that he rejected a call from Man City, showing that he has integrity and is not just in it for the money, because lets face it, City have been throwing away money like anything! Why o Why would Juve get rid off him, after getting rid off Diego to get him and now they're going to get rid off him. I'm afraid the "masterminds" at Juve are thinking about short time results instead of long term durability.. and that is a frightening thought.

Juventus v Fiorentina

.... What can I say, slightly sad that we didn't walk away with all three points but I am satisfied with a draw.... however it was avoidable, this wasn't the first time Motta knocked it into his own net, remember the match against Genoa but that time Toni saved his blushes with a handball, so it was not given, It is difficult for a defender, he has to do something to knock it away but sometimes leaving it would have been better, but that goes against the instinct of a defender.. so, Marco, I don't blame you.

Conceding the goal so early in the game was a bit of a shock because I was hoping that everyone would have had their weetabix so to speak, and be full of energy and alert. The response by The Old Lady was very positive, however there was a moment when the goal went in that their heads went done, but credit to them and their warrior spirits, they kept on fighting till the end.

And talking about warriors, what about Felipe Melo?? He has calmed down and used his excessive energy in a productive way, fighting for every ball and chasing down player, I think he's trying to prove something and I think people are starting to hear him.... he can actually play football, and I'm guessing that because it was against his old team, he might have been extra hyped up about it. Quagliarella had a not so great match, to say the least.... but he does have skills and we've all seen it, maybe because this match has so much rivalry and was so big he just forgot to show up?! Marchisio impressed in parts...there were portions of the match where he simply disappeared but then you looked again and he was fighting to keep the ball and chasing every ball and trying to get shots in. Krasic had a terrific match in parts again, maybe teams are starting to catch up..hence two players on him at each moment, but you can't expect him to perform at 100% at each game.

I would like Juve to improve in some bits.... like being able to keep hold of the ball, precision passing, some of there passing was a bit wayward and thus La Viola had a chance to get on the ball and they see to be slow in attack and after one shot on goal, give up. I want to see sustained pressure on the opposition goal... because you never know, one is bound to go in! All in all, a very competitive match and a fair result in the end, now all that energy has to be shown in the Europa League match against Lech Poznan, and they can't afford to draw.

Who is the best???

...... Who is the best, best of what I hear you say, whose the best overall footballer- now before you start to send in your answers..... who is the best between Lionel Messi and Crapface Ronaldo? Okay from that, you can tell I'm not a big fan but I do have my reasons, and I'll convince you as well.

Ronaldo is arrogant, selfish, childish, falls over if you blow in his direction, does stupid step overs that serve no purpose and is generally an arse, and if the opposition don't take him out I'm pretty sure one of his own teammates will! Arrogance is not all bad, it can just mean that a person has confidence in their ability. But what one does have to consider is, no matter how great you are..there is always someone better than you. One of the major mysteries surrounding this sleazeball is that how can someone who is built like a beast fall down so easily? And I answer, he tries to manipulate the refs by getting free-kicks in dangerous positions and tries to get other player sent off, remind you of anyone? (- Jose' Mourinho!!!!) If the opposition don't get sickof his antics his own teammates will because all his antics slow the momentum of the game.

Messi on the other hand is the polar opposite, he plays for the team and knows that he is not bigger than the team thus keeping him humble and always hungry to improve. Not to mention he's younger, faster with a low centre of gravity and has a mean shot. And unlike Ronaldo, Messi doesn't shoot his mouth of in the media claiming that he will score 8 goals! Mess is the better player. sportsman and a better person than Shitface!
