Sad, we have to rely on another team failling.

In the words of Attila the Hun - "Victory is not enough, everyone else must fail"

Here are the matches which were played by Roma and Juventus.

Roma(24pts):
Livorno
Verona
Parma
Lazio
Sampdoria
Bologna
Inter
Napoli


Juventus(19pts):
Sampdoria
Lazio
Inter
Verona
Chievo
Torino
Milan
Fiorentina


I've marked "easy" opponents with green and "hard" with red. Also, we had CL games.
Let's see what they are going to do when Totti will be injured or just lost his good form. They havn't got deep squad and the season is long.

Can anyone else not tell the colors apart?

Sad, we have to rely on another team failling.

Unless you go through a season with 38 wins then that is the same for every team who wins a title.

Torino game might be a derby, but they are actually a pathetic opponent.

I agree and it is now no longer an excuse to say that Roma have only had easy opponents, they are very impressive and it is silly to count them out.

I would like to hear now the opinion of those who think that the scudetto is in the bag if they changed their mind.

No doubt about. Not only an impressive winning streak but also only one goal conceded. I still don't think they'll compete for Scudetto due to their squad depth but they made brilliant results so far, that coach is amazing. Sabatini bought someone for the next year, some big talent

I said it a few days ago that conceding only one goal is the most amazing thing they have done. I think that in January they can work on depth and since they have only Serie A to focus on squad depth is not that of an issue. Don't count them out.

 

[JuveJay]

True, you can't say that now they have played Inter and Napoli, but you could certainly say it after the first bunch of games.

Look, we knew when the fixture list came out that our start to the season was hard, and it was compounded by the CL draw, but we just need to stay around the top and time ourselves right.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Watch Roma end the season behind Milan.

There's no denying this has been an impressive start for them, but for some reason I can't see them keeping it up.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

same here, they are one minor crisis away from throwing it away

We have a much stronger team than the rest of Serie A and i actually meant it was sad that people hoping for injuries to players from another team.

Yeah I see what you are saying, but at one time or another all teams benefit from the misfortune of others. We barely had an injury for the last two seasons, yet before we had 3-6 players out each game for 2-3 years.

Now we have a larger squad than those years we can get away with it a little more, but I doubt the likes of Roma could.

 

[Klovn]

Yeah, they barely have more than two strikers. It's gonna be interesting when the injuries rain down on them.

With Totti down, their striker is Borriello and Destro as backup. Imagine an injury to Borriello.

Let them. It's been 12 years. And nobody else in Serie A can make that claim right now.

 

[gagych]

Totti and Jervinho are out for several games

 

[LiquidPLP]

And they're playing Udinese away soon? We'll see how they manage it. Both seem important to this Roma side.

I agree. Once they realize they actually have a chance at winning the title they will chocke

Udinese are relegation material this season.

 

[swag]

Udinese are relegation material this season.

Yes. WTF is wrong with them.
