Anyone catch the end of the Roma-Livorno match yesterday? Complete with Totti taking a free kick just outside the goal box, dummying it three times to lure Livorno defenders out of position, and then finally getting yellow carded himself for pulling the Lucy-and-Charlie-Brown-like antic a fourth time?
Almost as ugly as the 0-0 scoresheet that this one ended on. But Totti at least made it entertaining.

I watched Samp score 2 goals after AC Peelan had scored the first, and basically played as if they should be given the win from then on.

Yup. My most "hated" team, being beaten by my "second" team.
(I really have only Juve--but my father-in-law...God rest his soul:down: ...brought me back 2 Samp jerseys on his last trip to Italy (he knew how much I loved calcio, and was Genovese--so it was a natural )

Contrast with how Fiorentina approached promotion...
Capello: What Milan crisis? Wednesday 21 September, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus boss Fabio Capello has dismissed claims that rival Scudetto candidates Milan are in crisis.
The Rossoneri have endured a sluggish start to the League season, collecting just four points from three games.
But Capello, whose side are already five points ahead of the San Siro outfit, has backed them to bounce back.
"I don’t think they are in crisis," commented the former Milan boss. "The championship is a long one and I know what they can do. Everyone can have a false start."
Carlo Ancelotti’s side lost to Sampdoria on Sunday and already have the chance to get back on track against Lazio this evening.
"We are only at the beginning of the campaign, that is why I don’t think they are in difficulty," continued Capello.
"Milan have enormous potential as a team and are backed up by a solid club. I’m certain that they will re-find their touch and soon be back to their very best."
Milan have looked like a distant cousin of the side who amazed at times lack season, with their defence seeming particularly vulnerable this term.
However, Alessandro Nesta is looking to silence the critics with a fine display against his former club.
"It will be important to beat Lazio and to do so without conceding a goal," said the Azzurri stopper.
"We are working hard to achieve that aim. If that occurs then I’m sure it will be easy for us to get back on the right path."

i would be worried today if i was a roma and milan fan.roma have been nowhere near convincing till now,and even though parma havent done anything out of the ordinary,they do have the players to kick roma's butt in their own backyard.corradi has been impressive so far for them.im going for a 1-1 at the olimpico tonight.
moving on to the san siro,lazio have been looking very good off late.and yes,maybe its too soon to judge if the roman emperor has any clothes or not(courtesy of swag)..but still this will be milan's stiffest test till now.i wouldnt be at all surprised if lazio pull out a win at the san siro tonight,but keeping in mind that its MILAN that we're talking about,i think they'll edge it 1-0 or 2-1.Lazio wont give them anything away and this will be a test and a half for them.
