[Albion] Are Roma any good ?

[Garyoldfan]

Or are we being fooled by their history and stature like I was when we played Ajax ?

 

[dwayne]

They're much better than Ajax and a lot more Wiley and clued up. They will be dirty mofos and rough us up. But they have an ageing team. It will be very close I would assume.

 

[Simster]

Well Ajax are absolutely shit. How they won last night is a mystery - the Norwegian team hit the goal frame about 6 times, oh and it's the middle of their winter break so they're not even playing regularly. Sadly, Villa will hammer them.

As for Roma, they're 6th in the table so not unlike our Newcastle/West Ham/Albion mini league.

I saw a sticker at Gatwick departures a couple of weeks ago and it said Roma Merde.

So that suggests not.

But they have an ageing team.

Pasta their best…?

 

[beefypigeon]

Experienced in Europe and will be very organised and hard to break down. Rely more on individual talent up the top of the pitch with the likes of Dybala. Will be tough but certainly nothing to be scared of.

[El Turi]

They’ve finished between 5th and 7th in Serie A for the last 5 seasons. They are decent but beatable.

 

[Justice]

It will be a similar game to Marseille, two hard fought games and hopefully we will win.

I'm really glad Mourinho is no longer there. As much as it would have been LOVELY to knock a Mourinho team out, I wouldn't have fancied our chances when up against his spoiling tactics.

It should be a very even tie, as long as our boys aren't overawed.

This European adventure still seems really weird

Where's Liverpool.

Where's Liverpool.

Ooops, chopped the end off in haste.

 

[MJsGhost]

Where's Liverpool.

Head up past Birmingham and turn left before you reach Bolton

4th favorites to win a European Cup

 

[Simster]

Sparta Prague have impressed in this tournament so far and they took Galatasary apart last night. I'm really hoping that Liverpool use squad rotation and rest key players for their game against Sparta. If they do, hopefully they'll get turned over.

Liverpool and Leverkusen are the only two teams that I'd be resigned to losing against.

 

[Questions]

We’re more that capable of beating them ..
is Totti still playing for them

 

[Algernon]

Let's hope we get there with a strong team.

 

[brighton_tom]

Ability wise I’d say we’re pretty close. They will most definitely use the dark arts of football though, will be prone to slowing the game with fouls & time wasting when it suits, and will contest every decision with the ref. They’re basically Italian Aston Villa.

The Totti you see there will hopefully not be just him

Wish Joao Pedro were going to be available
