Antonio Conte needs to learn some self restraint
May 17, 2014
I am inclined to believe that Conte’s posturing includes a heavy focus upon been granted greater autonomy at the club, specifically in relation to transfers. I am likely not alone in my perception of Conte’s despair last Summer at the sale of Giaccherini. The little goblin, as I affectionately nicknamed him a few years back […]
Matthew Le Tissier
May 16, 2014
Of all the players I have seen play week in week out, mainly in the english top flight, there is one who stands out as the most naturally talented englishman ever to don a shirt in the Premiership. That rarest of things in the modern game; a one club man. Put together his greatest goals […]

Should Juventus sign Ciro Immobile???
May 10, 2014
Before looking at the Immobile in terms of solely goals, we must first look at the system which Conte has painstakingly adjusted and drilled into the squad. We do not play with a pure prima punta, which is what Immobile seems to be. Is he special enough to change the whole Conte philosophy to accommodate?? […]
Snow White and the seven dwarfs…
May 4, 2014
Everyone has had their say on the european exit, and there remains only recycling efforts to sustain the flames, which should be left alone. Instead, we should focus upon the phoenix that will rise from the ashes. Which begins perhaps with the dwarfs…or by his other name(s) Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha. To most he is […]
Juventus 0-0 Benfica…The end of the road.
May 2, 2014
A disappointing european journey which began with a costly 1-1 draw in Copenhagen reached its conclusion last night in Turin, as Benfica refused to cave in under the pressure of our home advantage and partisan support to progress to the final of the Europa League. Whilst the quality of the opposition is of great […]
Pirlo…and the 3-5-2
May 1, 2014
Rather than due to a reliance on Pirlo, I have come to agree with the lack of quality on the flanks as the reason for Conte’s apparent lack of flexibility in terms of formation. Even when Pirlo does not play, the boss is 99.9 times out of 100 going to stick to the 3-5-2. Which […]

April 28, 2014
With the season drawing to a close, the third domestic title on the trot almost sewn up and a chance of our first piece of silverware in Europe since 1996 on the horizon, it seems a good time to begin judging our squad and anticipating our moves in the summer mercato. ( I refuse […]
