its 10 days away but im starting a thread now since all these gay roma players and now bruno conti have launched a "we're not inferior to inter" media campaign

god, i hope pizarro gets sent off and chivu scores a hat-trick while we rape them by 3+ goals

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We Are Closer To Inter - Aquilani Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani believes his team has narrowed the gap with Inter after this summer's transfer dealings.

After the Scudetto race of last year and this summer's transfer dealings, the big question on many Italian fans' minds is: is the difference between Inter and Roma still as large as last season? No, at least that's what Alberto Aquilani thinks about it. The Roman midfielder believes the difference is smaller after the various purchases made by the Giallorossi so far.

His reasoning behind it is uncomplicated: "The team is unchanged with respect to last year, apart from the sale of Chivu," he said, "and some important players have arrived. So if even last year we were not very inferior to them then this year the difference will be even less."

In a few days there will be time to talk about it again, as there will be a new Italian Supercup final between the two sides. After the debacle of last year (Roma lost the game 4-3 in extra time after leading 3-0), Aquilani is seeking redemption: "For me it brings back both sweet and sour memories. At the end of the first half [in which he scored twice], I was the happiest person in the world, while at the end of it I was the saddest.

"If we had won it would have been a double satisfaction for me. Now we gave a great chance for redemption and that experience can serve us."
Experiences. Despite his young age, Aquilani has already had a lot of them. But now it's time for him to show his true worth: "This is an important year for me, I have reached 23 years of age and I have to show my worth to the fullest: it will be a decisive season."

A long-term objective? To become the new heir to home-grown golden boys Totti and De Rossi: "My hope is to stay here at Roma. I hope to able to show my worth here."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll See If Inter Are The Strongest - Conti Bruno Conti claimed he is not sure whether Inter are indeed the leading team in Italy.

The challenge between Inter and Roma has already begun. Even though, in reality, it probably never ended. Bruno Conti added the latest chapter in this rivalry. The 1982 World Champion is not entirely sure that the Nerazzurri are the leading team in Italy.

"Let other people judge who is the strongest team," the current Roma sporting director said in a radio interview, "we should think exclusively about games on the pitch, not about the calendar, nor anything else, because on the 19th we already have the Supercoppa."

The Roma manager claimed he is confident ahead of next season: "We have bought motivated players who want to fit into Spalletti's idea of football and with whom we will carry on this project. We think we have a group of players which can give us satisfactions and there is still time to evaluate the squad and every other situation. The transfer market is still open, we'll see if there's still anything we can complete."

On the latest contract renewals planned, he revealed: "Very soon it will be the turn of Aquilani and De Rossi."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inter Are Not Stronger Than Us - Conti The Roma Director believes in the Giallorossi's qualities and is sure that the team will give many satisfactions to the fans this season.

Bruno Conti is relishing the Italian Super Cup trophy match in program next week between Roma and Inter, with the Giallorossi wanting to avenge last year's incredible defeat against the Nerazzurri.

However, according to Conti, this season the Capital city side does not feel inferior to Roberto Mancini's squad and will make sure to prove this on the pitch.

"Inter is the strongest? Let's let others judge that," he said. "In these two years we have tried to confirm the most important players and renew the most important contracts.

"Now we must think about the contracts of Aquilani and De Rossi," he continued, "We have signed motivated players who want to be part of Spalletti's work and with whom we want to move forward."

"We don't want to think about anything else except the pitch, because on the 19th of August we have the Super Cup.

"We believe that we have a group which can reward us with satisfactions and then there's still time to evaluate the squad and every situation.

"The market is open, we shall see with Spalletti if there's something to complete," concluded the former Roma player.

This is always such an inpredictable game. We need to be damn tight in defence, Roma always tears up apart. Who's gonna play?

JC is a given in goal.

Defence: surely Matrix CB and Maicon RB. Chivu: what's gonna happen. My guess is Chivu CB, Maxwell LB. But there are other options.

Midfield: Stankovic and Figo, J Zanetti and Vieira should be the ones. Cambiasso might play in place of Vieira.

Attack: Zlatan and Suazo, I'm positive.

Hopefully Crespo will play this game. He scored 5 goals against them last season.

I think that Dacourt will play, he played more than Vieira, Zanetti and Cambiasso this summer. Figo should start, Stankovic too.

I'm looking forward to see how our attack (especially if it's the Ibra-Suazo combo) will work against Roma's defense.

At this point, I am more worrying about our defence against the Romans compare to our attack. I am sure our attack is alright, defence is a problem tho... they always seems to score a lot past us

the key to that is stopping their passing game in midfield ... we need both viera and cambi fit-n-running for this game

Maicon - Samuel - Materazzi - Chivu
Cambi - JZ - Viera
Figo
Suazo - Ibra​

Good point about Dacourt, I don't think Crespo will start, he might come in off the bench.

Well, it depends much in what form are our south american players. I ques we will see that against AZ. But i think Ibra and Suazo, Figo, Cambiasso J.Zann, Viera (can't play all match), Chivu Matrix Cordoba or Burdisso Maicon and J.Cesar.

Ideally like Adnan I would want Crespo to start because he is without a doubt or most dangerous and best striker...but he will not be match fit so we should start our most in-form strikers atm which is Ibra-Suazo.

I'd also like to see Matrix-Samuel (if he's not injured) in the middle and Chivu on the left because he'll know how to stop Mancini. Maicon on the right of course.

Samuel prolly won't make it, might shrug off the injury but would still need time to get back in shape.

Ibrahimovic-Suazo
Stankovic
Zanetti-Cambiasso-Vieira
Maxwell-Chivu-Materazzi-Maicon
Cesar

In case Cuchu/Paddy wouldn't play, then just put Deki there and Figo :)() up.

No way bro we need ****in' Figo to play, without Figo we have no creativity. Some of you already forgot what a difference Figo made in our game.

-------------JCesar--------------
Maicon--Samuel--Materazzi-Chivu
----Vieira--Zanetti-Stankovic-----
--------------Figo----------------
---------Suazo--Ibrahimovic------

Figo >>> Stankovic...there's no way in hell Stankovic should start over Figo as an AM even if Figo is 40 yrs old.

If Cambiasso,Vieira and Zanetti are fit, they will always start. That means Stankovic as an AM. Just like Mancini said, Deki is the first choice for that position.

...
Who could Inter's advanced midfielder be?
"Let's say that Stankovic is our basic advanced midfielder. Then there's Figo, and we're bringing in Jimenez who is a young player of 22 with great ability.
...

There it is. Mancini says that Stankovic is the AM. Try to understand it already. Figo is an old man who one can't rely as a first-team player, because he can't play all those games.

should of put the date on the title, its 26th right?

By then Vieira will be more then ready and since the serie A season is a week after it we go in as we should play.

I agree with most formations here (barring, hopefully no injuries until then) but no Maxwell, not agaisnt this roman team.

Chivu should play left, burdisso/Cordoba/samuel alongside matrix
