what’s my role
I don’t often get moved to write. Well, wait – I take that back. I OFTEN get moved to write, I just generally don’t do it. I usually try to leave it to the podcast (LaMagicast) for my airing of grievances/joys/analysis. I have however, hit a wall that requires me to put pen to paper. I hope it is worth your time.

We’re back after only two weeks and two games played; Pescara and Siena. Thomas and Greg provide some fresh thoughts on the big topics Alex discussed with Lee and James two weeks ago and much more!
On the menu:
Siena & Pescara – tactics and formation.
La Magicast prefer Mazzarri over Allegri. Why?
– Keep on scoring and drive up that price, Osvaldo… and we’ll get you to a place where you can smile
– Bring back Borriello!
And Thomas wrote this about De Rossi on his blog Maledetta Primavera, hear him explain it.
Dessert: Twitter and Facebook questions from our listeners!

Big win against Inter, and Roma are again ready for a Coppa Italia final (it’s been a while since we used to dance with Inter in that tournament).
Take a look at this picture and you know what else to expect from this pod:

In describing a scene in the heat of battle, one of my favourite authors once wrote, “sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it”. There is still a good deal of truth in this if moved to the context of Pablo Osvaldo and Roma. This summer, surely matters need to come to a head. Either Osvaldo is given the club’s full backing in spite of the baggage he carries, or he needs to be moved on.
For those that bleed Giallorosso, there is simply no other match like it. It will leave you with feelings like no other. The days following a victory are filled with ecstasy, those after a defeat is akin to a deep depression. It’s heated, passionate & emotional. It’s unique in so many ways and for so many reasons. It is of course, the Derby della Capitale. Read more

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I’m no great photographer but I feel these are worth a few as well.
