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 […]

Conte angry interview

Is Conte’s 3-5-2 right for Italy???

April 1, 2015

I remember Conte as a player. A heartbeat of the side, who would give his all for every second of every match. He was not just determined, he was a berserker, who truly seemed to live and die by the shared cause of our success and failure. Never the most technically gifted, his game was […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

So many questions///

August 27, 2014

With the dawn of the new season almost within sight, much remains unresolved with our beloved Juve. Why are we apparently seeking additions to the front line? True enough, Morata is injured. The official site suggested 50 days as his time away from potential selection. recent updates report that he is aiming for the Udinese […]

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 […]

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 […]
