•Roma's biggest Ultra groups have announced that they will not attend the team's home match
with Caglari tomorrow. They won't come together elsewhere this time (as they did during the Udine
match), but instead will just stay home.
•Antonio Cassano is jumping up and down outside Roberto
Donadoni's back window, begging to be allowed to wear the blue shirt again.
•Poor Mauro Camoranesi is hurt again this time it's his right quad, and he's
out for four to six weeks. At least he timed this one to coincide with the winter break, so he
won't miss too many matches.
•If the Italian media are to be believed, only a physical (allegedly set for tomorrow) stands
between CSKA Moscow's Daniel Carvalho and a move to Inter.
•Sampdoria's world-class whiner Andrea Caracciolo could be on his way out of
yet another club this winter, possibly to Atalanta. I wonder if it's ever occurred to him that the
problem is his lack of consistency, rather than every club he plays with treating him unfairly.
•The latest player being eyed by Inter to solve their midfield injury crisis is Atletico
Bilbao's Maniche.
Of the four teams that went into this round within four points of Inter at the top of the table,
only Roma won to keep pace with the leaders. On an emotional day in Florence, Inter played their
best domestic match in a while to reinforce the growing suspicion that the Viola are mere
pretenders (*sniff*), while Roma did enough at home to defeat Udinese, one of this season's most
impressive surprise packages.
