A new feature...The weekly gloat fest!

Mighty Roma held to a draw by little Siena. Giggles with glee, thank you Siena!
All the Roma fans on Soccerage seem more concerned about Zambrotta's alleged dive in the penalty area that gave Juve the win. Zambrotta has apparently confessed to this? Please!
Edited
Apparently Zambrotta has admitted he dove, I stand corrected.

Further Edited: Zambrotta has admitted that he "did accentuate the fall." I stand corrected again. That's not precisely admitting to a dive.

More noise about Berlusconi's kid wanting to buy Totters for Milan. Totters has apparently responded to this by saying that, unlike Nesta, he'd stick with his team even if they were busted down to Serie C. Brave, noble Twatti! I highly doubt that Nesta had much choice over his sale. If Roma had a choice between leaving Serie A or selling Twatti to Milan they'd have him gift wrapped and on Milan's doorstep with a complimentary fruit basket inside half an hour.

woo, hooray for siena! ;D

ahh, and naughty naughty zambrotta. when he went down, it made me think of pires and his "penalty"/'dive when arsenal played portsmouth last month. pretty dubious, and lucky to be awarded the pk. "accentuating" the fall is pretty much as good as diving, but...meh. everyone does it. i probably shouldn't be so blase, but what can you do?

*giggles* that's quite the image. although, i have to agree. i don't think twatti's quite as indispensable as he may like to think. if the price is right, anyone can be bought, whether they want to be or not.

Well I think some of fans' blase-ness is caused by selective decision making on the parts of referees.

I agree, if Roma needed an influx of cash for any reason they'd be unloading their assets. Namely their top players. Isn't that what happened to Bati? Didn't he go to Inter?
