Conte’s Juventus – Past, Present and Future…

April 11, 2013

Two years ago, Juventus were approaching the final stretch of a second campaign of failure on the trot. Sitting 7th in the league on 48 points.

Bayern Munich v Juventus Champions League quarter-final PREVIEW

April 1, 2013

Every Juventini who witnessed the barbed 1-2 away victory over Inter in the derby d’italia last Saturday will be confronting Tuesday’s champions league quarter-final with confidence, excitement yet also a hint of trepidation.

Inter 1 – 2 Juventus

March 31, 2013

Buffon- An excellent showing from Santo Buffon. Far more involved than in previous outings, he showed that he remains world class and a vital part of our team with two glorious saves; firstly tipping at full stretch Cassano’s drive from outside the box just wide of the post and then later in the game, reacting […]

With a hotchpotch of internationals curtailing and colliding with the regular fixtures its a tricky time for pulling together streamlined reports of our finest youth talent, but try I must, for if I lose my rhythm now, momentum will be lost and with it, my up until now keen and constant eye cast firmly on […]

Juventus 1 – 0 Catania

March 11, 2013

Juventus v Catania Buffon-Showed alertness and his usual classy zeal through mopping up everything thrown at him, commanding in the air, solid with the handful of shots that came his way, comfortable throughout. 7/10. Barzagli-He has become a monster. Extremely hard to beat one on one, his physical strength, as with the other two beasts […]

Juventus Striker Analysis

March 7, 2013

When asked of areas of weakness in the blossoming Conte Juve, the general consensus amongst juventini the world over points towards our attacking department. The defence is world class. Our wing backs are quality, the midfield is phenomenal, but in the final third…such superlatives are regularly absent. Whilst we all have our opinions on performance […]

3/3/2013 Juventus Co-owned/ Loans UPDATE

March 5, 2013

February proved an uneventful month for our co-owned/loaned players, with few gaining any extra minutes. Leali continued to excel in goal for Virtus Lanciano, and the reports from last season regarding his rare and special potential are gaining substance by the week.
