Roma do this every year almost. Start well, look like they can win the league and totally and massively fuck it up.

It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

Conditions were so bad last night in Florence that the ref took the players off midway through the first half due to the rain and waterlogged pitch.  Complete farce apparently, players on their arses every few seconds.  There was then an hour's confusion while they considered whether the match could be completed, before they decided that yes, yes it could.

Florenzi out for the remainder of the season is a massive blow for them.

Arsenal are the 3rd most successful club in England. Roma have 3 league titles in their history. Not the same.

If I was to compare Roma with a side in England I would compare them with Spurs.

Arsenal are more like Inter, we are comparable to AC Milan, United are like Juventus

Before the start of the season I'd have said this game was one of the biggest of the season, it's lost a lot of it's meaning in the past month or so though. Milik being out for the season has rendered Napoli irrelevant to Juventus.

Been dire so far today. Roma huffing and puffing away to Empoli, only one goal across 4 games at h/t. Knowing Roma they'll prob fuck up the chance to keep pressure on the leaders.

Shame that, hopefully he'll be back soon.

As for Inter, I think de Boer will be let go during the international break.

Wonder whom they'll get to replace him?

Well, I think Blanc and Villas Boas could be contenders but I'm not sure if they're looking for somebody who knows Italian football.

Wish Inter could move heaven and earth for Simeone at the end of the season just to stop him vastly improving one of our rivals in England. Ex Inter player and all that.

Unfortunately there's no way De Boer will last that long.

De Boer is a goner, he'll be given the boot sometime this week no doubt.

Wasn't he one of the names being thrown around along with Klopp and Ancelotti after Rodgers was sacked?  :o
