Empoli 0 – 2 Juventus
November 4, 2014
Alvaro Morata was given his first start of the season at Empoli After the recent midweek losses away to Olympiakos and Genoa, and our lead in Serie A cut to 0, only a win would suffice from the visit to Empoli. And with our rivals for the league title, Roma, falling to a 2-0 […]
Xipe Totec’s Flaying Circus Tactical Approach
November 3, 2014
CB- Extremely defensive. Never stepping out of defence, only far enough to draw an opponent towards him freeing up space elsewhere. Think Baresi. His presence in front of the keeper is constant. He reads the play, follows the flow of the ball, steps out from a central position directly in front of the goalkeeper […]
Sassuolo 1-1 Juventus
October 19, 2014
Approaching this fixture many, if not all of us, were expecting a dominant triumph. First v last. Surely a handsome victory and all we would be left to speak of after the final whistle was the manner of our victory?. What transpired however, was nothing of the sort… Zaza rivaled Tevez for the most potent […]
Latest Transfer rumours – Juve mercato Summer 2014
August 23, 2014
The focus appears to be on… Hernandez, who is unwanted by Van Gaal. They want hard cash, we want a loan with a right to purchase. I like him, a mexican inzaghi. Price wise? Impossible to judge much in the premiership these days, kids move for 28m pounds, strikers from the championship go for […]
Pre-season friendly – Cesena 0 0 Juventus
July 30, 2014
I managed to endure most of the match via a choppy set of streams, only finding the arabic option for the last 15 minutes, which was near perfect. Shame the same cannot be said of the football on show… Looking at our starting line-up of…Storari, Sorensen, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Padoin, Pirlo, Pereyra, Motta, Giovinco, Llorente…We […]
In defence and support of Beppe Marotta and Andrea Agnelli
July 27, 2014
We most probably could afford to compete with (at a large risk) some of the wages offered by the richer clubs at the definite expense of missing out on other purchases BUT our budget is aimed at breaking even in the future, of self financing (which seems a perfectly reasonable aim, as a business, as a club)…we […]
Juve lose first game under Allegri (Juventus 2-3 Luccento)
July 26, 2014
Much excitement preceded the first fixture of any kind since Allegri picked up the reins left by recently departed Antonio Conte. With the internationals involved in the world cup still absent, the squad was rather thin hence the involvement of primavera left back Barlocco and fringe players from the seniors. Unfortunately the match began badly […]

Final thoughts on Conte Departure
July 18, 2014
It astonishes me to find a fan as committed and intelligent as yourself seriously suggesting that Beppe Marotta is to blame for the recent upheaval and so heavy is his culpability that he should be shown the door. The vast majority of the players who have brought us such brilliant domestic success over the last […]
Allegri is the new Juve Manager – Early thoughts
July 16, 2014
Far from excited about the arrival of Allegri but the situation could be worse. Also, other than the half season before he lost his job at Milan, he did well enough at AC, especially considering the power struggle with Galliani and dear Silvio, and the hotchpotch collection of parts which would clearly not fit well […]
