I love this...I remember in 2003/04 no one expected Roma to do anything. We were horrible in 2002/03 and managed a uefa cup spot by finishing in the finals of C. Italia - just like this year. Yet all we did was add a few players, had a good preseason and voila - we owned Serie A for 1/2 the year and eventually came second to a monster of a Milan team. This year Roma's back is against the wall with this FIFA ban, but we finally have a stable coach and it seems we're preparing for the season quite well. While Juve, Inter and Milan waste millions on players Roma will prove that sometimes in football money cant buy you wins (I wont go as far as to say Roma will finish 1st, but Roma will surprise the world).
Other teams may have $$ and a winning history but they'll never have the fan support of the Roman people. We are and always will be the team of the Capital, we dont have as many gloryhunting fans like Juve or Milan but we're by far the most passionate. Teams like Juve do not have a soul - after all if Juve was a mediocre team would they truly be the most supported team? Hell no - besides a winning history i dont see why else a person would be proud to support Juvemerda. Roma will always be a cut above the northern teams - a feeling, a passion, a way of life that only la maggica Roma can provide its tifosi - something that the northern teams will never be able to provide.
Even if we have another midtable season, as long as we're not Juventus, Milan, Inter and Lazio we have so much more reason to be thankful we are Roma fans. Roma might not have given us many titles, but theyve given us so much more than any team in italy can provide its fans. There arent many teams that can boast to have a captain who's favorite team as a child is the team theyre currently on. On top of that he's the best Italian player, and without a doubt top 5 in the world.
In conclusion.. che sara, sara, dovunque ti seguirem, per sempre ti sostirrem, che sara, sara
Forza La Maggica Roma!!!!! Daje Lupi!!
