oh no, thats why i asked that question. i haven't followed him over the years and didn't want to look it up. I was genuinely curious, if he had always battled injuries like this, i guess it's just been this season.

if you're asking why Roma doesn't deserve the scudetto it's because they have had multiple rounds to make a move and have failed to do so. give Inter credit i guess, they don't slip on banana peels much

Mr.C,

TOTTI is TOTTI.

the T I watched sinced he surged on the "A" field is not the same animal you have watched...(he's been an absolute bust at the international level...world cup, Euro, etc.). He is, will always be, a demi-simpleton. When you are annointed at 16 with a Roma shirt blessing, you must understand the potentiality of how it's about to mutate the individual. As I said, T has been a total flop on the international level, but in Serie A, he is to the game what Mario Lemieux was to the NHL. Yes, he is a stubborn mule with knee injuries dating back to when he was 22; unfortunately, like all, the older you get, the more difficult it is to hide the problem.

Best of luck.

MA

never thought they would win the scudetto in the first place.

Always said Inter was the best team.

Shitty coach yes. Inter's weaponry was truly balanced that only Mancini could have fucked it up in Champions League....

Good dayM.A.!
I totally agree with you on Totti, however I really believe Roma should have made a better effort to get the scudetto. INTER have better players only because they have more than anybody else, but the problem is that Roma is never on point if Totti isn't playing. WHY? They have a great coach, best game in serie A, great players, is it about character, determination, ...hunger? I can't explain, I'm really disappointed for yesterday game, and I feel for our bets gon bad, but today is a new day, u 'll get your $$$ back. Best of luck and ythank u for your valuable opinions.

SERIE A - Sunday, April 27th

Sampdoria at FIORENTINA
Sampdoria +0.5 -128 (14 units)

Atalanta at PALERMO
Palermo pk and -0.5 -114 (8 units)

Catania at UDINESE
Udinese -0.5 +107 (7 units)

Torino at ROMA
Torino +1 and +1.5 -136 (5 units)

Parma at REGGINA
Parma +0.5 +109 (4 units)

Siena at NAPOLI
Siena pk and +0.5 +128 (4 units)

Lazio at JUVENTUS
Lazio +1 and +1.5 -112 (4 units)

I BELIEVE THE SAMP WILL HOLD. FOR THOSE LOOKING AT FIORENTINA AT -0.5, play it, it's a worthy selection. However, I believe if the Samp comes to play - which they should - they have an outstanding chance of winning this game. In the 2nd half of this truly wicked Serie A season, they have been arguably the best team in Serie A. They were lucky last week against Udinese with many call going their way, however their play remains solid at defense and midfield. Fiorentina is an emotionally spent team, tired, having played much more football than most of the Serie A contenders. If anything, this is a tribute to a truly motivational coach. Prandelli has managed to keep them focused through the UEFA duties.

FIORE looking at the return leg against Glasgow.
SAMP looking for Cassano to continue to grow. This is the type of game where this gifted and forgotten bastard can make the difference. Montella's addition up front should also add value to an underated offense.

In Sunday's Serie A:
SAMPDORIA at +0.5 is an exceptional play. Palermo at -.25, and Udinese at -0.5 are worthy of best bet considerations.

Best of luck to all.

maybe you are right. Too much turmoil on the potential sale of the team. Torino is a desperate team, truly need a monumental result here.

Scudetto is a done deal. I am patiently waiting to collect my large prop on Inter. Think Roma strangles Samp next week. Good luck to you.

Coppa Italia 2007 / 2008 Edition YTD: 20W - 33L - 6T (-35.44 units)

AS Roma at CATANIA
Under 2.5 -130 (2.5 units)

Inter Milan at LAZIO
Inter Milan pk -103 (6 units)

Weekend derby against AC is not a factor, hence think Inter can manage at least a draw against Lazio side. First leg 0-0 boring game result leads me to believe that - once again - sides will play tight at midfield. Nonetheless, weekness on Lazio's back four will be exposed in the later stages of the game, where a few usual suspects will come off the bench for Inter for the go ahead goal. After that, it will be the usual boring ball control.... It was either this or the under 2.25. Let's hope I chose wisely.

Good luck.

2white, If I were you, I would stay out of the "B" pond. Unless you are hooked on it just like me.

It's going to be full of surprises...I think.

take it easy today. Tomorrow we hammer the "A" card.

Best of luck.
