The Boss has weathered the storm…Carpi 2-3 Juventus
December 21, 2015
I had planned on conjuring my analysis of the chaotic Carpi match from many pages of notes I made during the game. Yet all I find is the rabid rantings of a lunatic. Passages of writing which have no place on your screen which must be written off as some form of accident. I was […]
Juventus Youth Sector Health Check – Are we failing or succeeding or somewhere in between?
December 1, 2015
Whilst Mandzukic was volleying home the winner against Manchester City and signs of life were appearing all over our senior squad offering, the little ones were striving in tandem, in a parallel realm… For those of you unaware, the UEFA Youth League is an U19 tournament which mirrors the champions league group stage. It has […]
mangled muttering – Can juve turn the corner?
November 10, 2015
I suspect you would have got brilliant odds on Juve finding themselves 9 points off top with 12 games played, having only just managed to scrape together back to back victories for the first time season, in November. Yet does the recent run suggest an upturn in form is on the horizon? My instinct is […]
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, […]
Juventus win 33rd scudetto
May 3, 2015
We have been in haphazard form of late. Due mainly to injuries and a constantly changing side. Other than which, our finest, most dynamic player in Pogba has been sidelined. However, the sign of a truly great team is to win and succeed when not playing well. And we have that now. No longer does […]
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 […]
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 […]
Bayern Munich v Juventus Champions League quarter-final PREVIEW
April 1, 2013
Every Juventini who witnessed the barbed 1-2 away victory over Inter in the derby d’italia last Saturday will be confronting Tuesday’s champions league quarter-final with confidence, excitement yet also a hint of trepidation. Whilst its fair to conclude that we never looked like losing, those with any objectivity must concede that the victory was in […]
