Quick-fire reaction to Juve reaching the Champions league Semi-Finals

April 24, 2015

Our goal was to re-establish ourselves as a top 8 side in Europe. This has been achieved. Perhaps not at a canter in the last stage, but Monaco have only one way to play and in the first leg we worked damn hard for the goal leaving us able to play Monaco at their own […]

Juventus – early transfer thoughts for the Summer mercato

April 9, 2015

Sitting pretty at the top of Serie A with a healthy lead of 14 points over second placed Roma – which may as well be 15 considering the head to head measures – into the quarter-finals of the champions league and recently demolishing our friends in Florence to forge a path to the coppa italia final, […]

Palermo 0-1 Juventus

March 15, 2015

We approached this game with the knowledge that a win would put us 14 points clear at the top and the aim of finding some momentum and form in the lead-up to our crunch tie mid week against Dortmund. Palermo, whilst sitting in tenth spot in the table had been – as could be said […]

March 8, 2015

“We want to achieve the maximum in every competition we take part in,” continued Marotta. “The Coppa Italia brings lustre to Italian football and tonight we’ll try to honour it. “We have a line-up that fully reflects the expectations of the club.

Paul Pogba, goal, Chievo

Juventus 2-0 Chievo

January 26, 2015

With Pirlo succumbing to flu, the always dependable Marchisio replaced him as the fulcrum to the side. Morata was rewarded for his recent hints of finding form by starting up top alongside Tevez. Other than which, the only placement of note was Vidal returning to a more centrally focused midfield role as Pereyra found himself […]

Allegri Juventus

Juve Winter Mercato Preview December 2014

December 27, 2014

Despite the disappointing loss to Napoli in the SuperCup, Allegri’s debut season as Juve coach has gone as much to plan as any of us could have hoped. Many feared that the loss of charismatic coach Antonio Conte could lead to a downturn in the steady domestic success of the last three seasons. Roma have […]

Juventus 1-1 Sampdoria 14.12.2014

December 15, 2014

The 1-1 draw at home to Sampdoria was a testament to the timeless adage ‘a game of two halves’. So complete was our control during the first period, so intense our attacking waves and with our opponents penned into heir own half, often with ten men behind the ball; I was expecting an avalanche of […]

It appears that despite interest from Chelsea amongst other top european clubs, juve have won the race to sign budding croatian star Andrej Kramaric.   The 23 year old began his career at Dinamo Zagreb after his sixth birthday, where after smashing over 450 goals for the youth sides he was hailed as something rather […]

Calciopoli- Clearing the Shit Fog

November 24, 2014

Those who believe the stories of Juve staff handing over the keys to Maseratis to referees, Moggi locking officials in the club quarters or bribing them, are quite possibly the same goons who believe Saddam had WMD, or that Osama Bin Laden blew up the twin towers, or that Assad invited UN chemical weapons inspectors […]

Lazio 0 – 3 Juventus 22/11/2014

November 23, 2014

With the wonderful fluidity and cutting edge displayed throughout the impressive 7-0 drubbing of parma, I was one of many slightly bothered with the international break and worried that players would lose their momentum, or worse still, return to the ranks exhausted or injured. Such concerns were aided by the decision of Conte to rest […]
