claudio marchisio, juventus, 2015

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, […]

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 – early transfer thoughts for the Summer mercato

April 9, 2015

Sitting pretty at the top of Serie A with a healthy lead of 14 points over second placed Roma – which may as well be 15 considering the head to head measures – into the quarter-finals of the champions league and recently demolishing our friends in Florence to forge a path to the coppa italia final, […]

Paul Pogba, goal, Chievo

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
