The trouble with Juventus…
September 15, 2015
It has indeed been a truly wretched start to the season. Whilst my focus has been very much elsewhere the tribalism I feel towards the club has remained potent enough to maintain a keen vigil even when consumed with other happenings. Supporting a club is supporting a cause, perhaps not the most righteous or heart-felt, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Con Te Partito – Epitaph of Il Mister
July 16, 2014
And so it has happened. With trademark drama and a sense of timing which must be labelled dangerously unprofessional, Il Mister has left the premises. Whilst the decision has come as a surprise, it can be no shock given the theatrics witnessed at the close of last season. During that time, a special occasion when […]
Conte leaves juventus
July 15, 2014
Considering his highly irritating, (and to me and many others) disrespectful behaviour at the end of last season, this episode can come as no major surprise. Nonetheless the timing is appalling and the best thing we can take from the present scene of carnage is that no longer will the club, its players and its […]
Juventus potential sales Summer 2014
June 2, 2014
Given the news has now become polarized on the world cup and the transfer market, it seems the time is ripe for considering our transfer kitty. Our most valuable potential sales are clearly in the offensive department, so let us start there. Season statistics – Played 23, 13 from the bench, 4 goals, 2 assists. […]
Juventus 0-0 Benfica…The end of the road.
May 2, 2014
A disappointing european journey which began with a costly 1-1 draw in Copenhagen reached its conclusion last night in Turin, as Benfica refused to cave in under the pressure of our home advantage and partisan support to progress to the final of the Europa League. Whilst the quality of the opposition is of great […]
Pirlo…and the 3-5-2
May 1, 2014
Rather than due to a reliance on Pirlo, I have come to agree with the lack of quality on the flanks as the reason for Conte’s apparent lack of flexibility in terms of formation. Even when Pirlo does not play, the boss is 99.9 times out of 100 going to stick to the 3-5-2. Which […]
Juventus 1 – 0 Bologna
April 20, 2014
Approaching this match, knowing that two wins in our next two league fixtures would send us to Rome needing only a draw to clinch our third straight scudetto, there was reason to be both excited and nervous. Especially after our rivals earned a valuable 0-1 away victory in Florence, reducing the gap between us back […]
