And so it begins…At last.
October 5, 2015
Finally it seems almost safe to look upon the season with hope. It has taken 6 weeks of torment, our worst start to a league campaign for 40 years and we find ourselves 10 points off the summit. Yet still, I am sure I am not alone in sensing a change in our fortunes. Losing […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 3-1 Chievo
February 17, 2014
Player Ratings- Buffon – 6 His fate was tied to that of the defence in front of him, which was lacking confidence and security throughout the match. Thankfully, Bonucci put in a solid shift leaving Buffon with very few direct shots to deal with. Several of his decisions to parry and punch rather than catch […]
Mercato Ramblings….
January 11, 2014
I feel more strongly by the week that our only high cost target presently is Cerci, who we will grab using Immobile in part exchange, perhaps other players also, more likely $$$. This will not happen before the Summer, although it may happen before the world cup (we wouldn’t him to become too valuable before […]
