This is the first match thread i have created, lets hope i am good luck!
What does everyone think about this game? Do you think that Roma getting a new manager will spur them on to get a decent result against Milan? Or will it be just another poor Roma performance? I think Milan will win the match comfortably, Roma are just not a very good side anymore. Lets just hope we can bring back Maldini, Nest and Sheva. If not then maybe Pippo can play a bit of a bigger part in the game?

Club legend Bruno Conti is the new Roma boss after Gigi Del Neri quit the struggling Serie A outfit.
The tactician handed in his resignation last night and that was today accepted following talks with the Giallorossi.
"We have agreed to end our relationship with Del Neri," stated chief operating officer Rosella Sensi.
"I’m happy to announce that Bruno Conti is our new Coach. He will be presented to the media on Tuesday."
Sunday’s 3-0 loss at Cagliari was Roma’s fourth in five games, a result that has seriously jeopardised their hopes of finishing in the top four.
Roma have decided to appoint Conti, who was in charge of the club’s youth system, on a temporary basis. He may be assisted by Ezio Sella.
"I’m delighted and a little emotional," said the 1982 World Cup winner, who may need special permission from the FA to Coach seeing as he doesn’t hold all the necessary badges.
Del Neri, who was contracted until 2006, only arrived in the capital last September as the club struggled to replace the Juventus bound Fabio Capello.
Cesare Prandelli was initially hired but he was forced to step down due to his wife’s health issues.
Rudi Voller, another club legend, then came in but he lasted just three weeks before he handed in his resignation.
Now speculation has already begun with regard to whom the club will appoint for the start of the 2005-06 campaign.
Lecce boss Zdenek Zeman has been hotly linked with a return to the club he bossed between 1997 and 1999.
He would be welcomed by the Giallorossi fans but it seems as if another former Roma man could be recalled.
Bologna’s Carlo Mazzone is being tipped as a possible target and he’s left the door open for a summer switch.
"I’ll speak to my family at the end of the season regarding my future," stated the Dall’Ara boss. "But I’m in good health and still motivated. You can never say never."
The 68-year-old, a massive Roma fan, enjoyed three years with the club following his appointment in 1993.
Roma could alternatively try to convince Prandelli to return, appoint Claudio Ranieri or move for Genoa boss Serse Cosmi – who is also a big fan of the club.
