THE Mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, has addressed a letter to the Times Online, in response to their campaign to have this season's Champions League final taken away from the Italian capital.
Alemanno says: “A Google search with the words ‘London’ and ‘stabbed’ brings up 2,670,000 pages, ten times those that appear for Rome.” Quite possibly so, Gianni, but how many of those stabbings in London have been football related? Nobody is trying to diminish Rome’s reputation in a cultural sense, but the statistics speak for themselves.
If, as expected, one or more English team does progress to the final on May 27, and the anticipated nightmare becomes a reality, all Alemanno’s feeble response has ensured, is that Michel Platini won’t be the only one with blood on his hands.
