Juventus sign Palestinian wonderkid – Rashed Al Hajjawi
October 8, 2016
This news and story brings me great joy to come upon and share. For it is that rarest of things, a true gem in the mega-rough. And a welcome opportunity to mention Palestine absent of a deep and passionate focus on the steady destruction of their homes, torture and killing of their men, women and […]
Juventus 3-0 Lazio…Almost there
April 27, 2016
A few weeks back, I had this marked as one of the three fixtures where I saw a possibility of losing points. Napoli’s games against Inter and Roma were the parallel tricky ties for our major foes for the title. We edged the Milan game, which was first on my list, then faced Lazio in […]
Ac Milan 1-2 Juventus
April 27, 2016
I had suspected we would face a sterner test than league positions and recent results would suggest. For games against AC Milan are always something separate, beyond and apart from the general run of the league campaign. A different kind of honour is at stake, something noble, proud and majestic, for if there are two […]
Juventus 1-0 Empoli
April 4, 2016
There is always hesitation vis-a-vis how we will fare after many of our players have been traveling long distance and adopting to different tactics with different players whilst others have been absent of any c0mpetitive action. The international break, many of us had hoped, would offer a chance for the side to recover key personnel […]
Juventus Youth Update March 8th 2016
March 9, 2016
The mercury remains just shy of 36C here in Melbourne, as the arms of the clock, weighed down by the heat of this inferno, approach 8pm. With the crickets somehow finding the dedication to their cause to erupt with the evening chorus as dusk approaches, I must follow their heed and will – with whatever […]
Juventus 2-2 Bayern Munich…last rites.
February 24, 2016
I remain in a state of recovery. Still my blood feels alive with war and battle, my body tired yet my spirit a flame, for we witnessed a true marvel when the Germans came to town. Unfortunately I had to head straight the office after the match, from being thrown hither and thither by great […]
Juventus 1-0 Napoli…Back where we belong.
February 14, 2016
We approached this crunch tie with the league leaders on the back of 14 straight victories well aware that to win would complete a remarkable recovery from our worst start to a Serie A campaign on record, by reaching the summit. Whilst confidence was high, the same could be said of our opponents, who were […]
Juventus 1-0 Roma Topolini, never lupi
January 26, 2016
Facing our arch enemies from Rome, Allegri opted for arguably our strongest possible starting XI with the expected 3-5-2. Barzagli returned to the ranks after recovering from his latest muscular bother. The game struck a fair rhythm early doors with Spalletti’s game-plan clearly set to frustrate in the middle, cut off key supply routes to […]
Juve sign rising star of Serie D – Alessio di Massimo
December 30, 2015
It’s not often we hear of Serie D, let alone Juve purchasing a player from the fourth tier of italian football. In fact, whilst we plucked Mbaye Diagne from FC Bra a couple of years back, the giant Senegalese striker has not once been near the first team squad, which leaves Moreno Torricelli, as the […]
South American Shopping List…And other stunning potential signings.
December 23, 2015
If reports are to be believed, it appears that we have pulled out of the race to sign Alisson Becker, the outstanding goalkeeping prospect of Internacional. Our good friends in Rome have apparently pledged 5m for his services and he will appear in their ranks next August. Which seems…interesting. For all evidence points towards his […]
