Alberto Aquilani

[SpeedyG]

Aquilini giving the Curva supporters the Fasces symbol, consisted of a bundle of white birch rods (middle fingers), tied together with a red leather ribbon (wrists) into a cylinder (crossed arms), and often including a bronze axe (left thumb) amongst the rods (ring finger), with the blade on the side (left palm), projecting from the bundle (right palm), during a game against communist rivals Livorno.

 

 

The Fasces was used as a symbol of the Roman Republic and a prominent symbol of Mussolini's Fascist Party. The movement was named for the axe and rods.

 

So it was an historically significant symbol co-opted by Mussolini.

 

IMO it's difficult to judge where patriotism and fascism cross-over from a different culture.

Emlyn Hughes was a Thatcherite

 

Carragher has expressed, in writing, his issues with immigration

 

Your "mate" Tommy Smith is a bad racist, are you going to pull him on it the next time you have a cosy little chat?

 

The lad is a footballer, not a fucking politician

 

This place is doing my fucking head in lately, being turned into mong central by a minority

 

Again I ask, Do any of the above have the bust of a fucking dictator in their living room?

[RedKnight]

Seriously, are people honestly getting concerened because others are making light of him having possible facist links? Everyone will back him like they always do.

[RedKnight]

Oh man, two different posts to use the phrases 'bust' and 'rod'; brilliant.

[andrejwout]

his average appearances per season are 24.5 games for roma throughout career, excluding the one season he had elsewhere. So at that rate we should only have to pay about 33% for a shirt with his name on it, seeing as thats how muh well see him on average.................oh boy......worried a bit

[Antynwa]

If he does well he could have Hitler tattooed on his forehead, and I wouldn't care.

 

I'm a fickle bastard me

[andrejwout]

this is soooooooooo worrying over such a long period and considering the position/tough premiership tackling

[Hobbs]

Get someone for the left-wing and balance will be restored to the side.

Excellent point. Repped.

[RedKnight]

The injury record is the most worrying aspect of it all.

again I ask, where is the proof that he does?

 

maybe i have missed something

Definifitely. Along with the crossed eyes.

Bloody hell - I knew Rome was a shithole, but still.....

C'mon dude, most people are just making light of it. No one believes he has Mussolini shrine in his house.

Hughes had a painting of Thatcher

 

I win

[Guest LFD]

His armband's a swastika in red. Aqi. Aqi

Work will make you free, he said. Aqi. Aqi.

We got the lad from Italy.

He has strong views politic-ally.

Aquilani - we've already pre-judged him.

 

Na na na na na...(repeat and fade).

 

Superb. Repped.

[Ted]

Is he cross eyed? Crazy eyes Alby has a decent ring to it.

[RedKnight]

Definifitely. Along with the crossed eyes.

 

You worried he won't have the required depth perception to ping a 60 yarder?

That and the fact that it will narrow our play even further as he won't see the wings.

[Dr.Filth]

Aquaman, Aquaman

Does whatever Alonso can

Can he score from his own half?

er, well no actually....

he can't!

but we still love aquaman.

[OnizukaEikichi]

Welcome here, aquaman. Hope we have better luck with you in terms of injuries. Talented ppl like Agger, Alonso, Aurelio and Kewell getting injured all the time is just such a pity ( Notice 3 of them starts with A? lol ).

REDS AGREE AQUILANI DEAL

 

Confirmed that we've agreed a deal for Aquilani.

[Bogman]

Does it all fucking matter?

 

Some people will argue the toss for the sake of arguing.

[The Dude Abides]

Christ. Mong mong mong mog mong mong mong.

[RedKnight]

Maybe just the right wing. Luckily we have a liberal Dutch fella on our right so maybe he can straighten him out.
