Serie A-ttitude
Roma veteran Franceso Totti has been busy proving you are never too old to get into a childish football spat by sparking a row with Lazio striker Mauro Zarate. Totti claimed the ex-Birmingham man was “not a champion.”

Part-man, part-lizard
Woah! What is that all about? Abou Diaby rued a missed chance against Roma last night by unravelling his massive tongue for all to see. I’ll just get on the phone to our lawyers to see if a couple of theories as to why Arsene Wenger like his so much are legally sound…
