No Torres
Roma presented their squad to the fans – including Erik Lamela – amid jeers, banners and protests.
The Open Day 2013 saw 25,000 supporters pack into the Stadio Olimpico to salute the players for the new season.
They all ran out individually, including Lamela despite negotiations for a €35m move to Tottenham and clearly incorrect rumours of the Argentine being in London for a medical.
Curiously, Lamela's girlfriend Sofia Herrera (who is in the Stadio Olimpico) tweeted "What a grand farce..." and then quickly deleted it.
However, there was loud jeering when the coaching and fitness staff walked out, plus during the team’s lap of honour.
There were also several angry banners aimed at the club and squad, most importantly this large message referring to the Coppa Italia defeat to rivals Lazio: ‘Not being able to make up for a defeat is worse than the defeat itself.’
Other banners read: ‘Get your hands off Lamela,' ’26 May: we will not forget’ and ‘We only stand by the shirt.’
There were the usual chants insulting Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, even though he has now moved to Southampton.
“Good evening to everyone,” said Coach Rudi Garcia. “I am very happy to see so many Roma fans. You can be certain of one thing: we will give our all so that you Roma fans can be proud of your team.”
The squad then began a training session and game between ranks on the Stadio Olimpico pitch.
Plane flies over Roma's Open Day. Banner trails behind it. Laziali reminding them of defeat in the Coppa Italia final
Lazio plane a response to the one Roma fans had fly over the Olimpico during the Super Cup. Plane company must be doing well out of this

Really hope Lampard - Ramires won't be Mou's preferred midfield.
Try using your Comcrap user name and password. WatchESPN doesn't support DirecTV but I was able to find a work-around by using my ATT internet username and password (and it's not even U-Verse). You don't lose anything by trying.
Mikel will probably start in Europe and against the top teams, but at home against teams like Hull and Villa you want to go for the jugular and get goals.
It's a no go. I do get ESPN 3 with my internet though.
I'll have to see if my parents our in the county have a way to let me use their details.
Hazard!
What a lovely pass from Oscar.
Dat Hazard. Dat fantasy Captain.
Did Hazard score or was it an OG?
Does timewarner not have the channel on telly or does it only lack the online?Maybe he's a Time Warner subscriber like me?
The iPhone app is apparently about 30 seconds behind. Hazard is my fantasy captain too though. I wonder if they'll call it an OG instead?

who's a Norwich fan? let me know so i can add him to the list.
But watching Chelsea TV when Benfica play is the best!watching Arsenal with french commentary is oddly... fitting.
And Joesph Yobo! Average Ex Merseysiders FC.
Eanan is. Proper GAF newbie too. Seems his (presumably) account was approved just about instantly based on the registration date.

Rosicky is still alive? Holy hell
