Should Juventus sign Ciro Immobile???
May 10, 2014
Before looking at the Immobile in terms of solely goals, we must first look at the system which Conte has painstakingly adjusted and drilled into the squad. We do not play with a pure prima punta, which is what Immobile seems to be. Is he special enough to change the whole Conte philosophy to accommodate?? […]
Snow White and the seven dwarfs…
May 4, 2014
Everyone has had their say on the european exit, and there remains only recycling efforts to sustain the flames, which should be left alone. Instead, we should focus upon the phoenix that will rise from the ashes. Which begins perhaps with the dwarfs…or by his other name(s) Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha. To most he is […]
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 Summer Mercato Pondering
April 28, 2014
With the season drawing to a close, the third domestic title on the trot almost sewn up and a chance of our first piece of silverware in Europe since 1996 on the horizon, it seems a good time to begin judging our squad and anticipating our moves in the summer mercato. ( I refuse […]
Benfica 2 – 1 Juventus EUROPA League Semi-final 1st Leg
April 25, 2014
Before a ball had been kicked it was clear to us all that we were set to face a very stern and interesting test against Benfica. Our own sluggish form of these last three months was reason for concern. Add to this the recent championship victory of our opponents as well as their determination to […]
Quy Nhon, Vietnam
April 21, 2014
Last night here in Quy Nhon and I will be truly fucking happy to escape this place which promised so much, but has delivered so very little. This is always a potential problem when traveling without much of a plan other than a general direction of North, and picking up ideas of where to head […]
Dar Melody – Fes (review)
April 21, 2014
Our plush sanctuary at Dar Melody. The medina of Fes is a labyrinth, a maze, a hectic, vibrant bazaar. In such an environment, the ideal lair for a traveller, is a refuge, an oasis, right in the thick of the action. A launching pad for adventures and a home away from home when your feet […]
Pisani’s restaurant – Bicheno, Tasmania
April 21, 2014
MAIN serving of gnocchi pesto…Despicable. Whilst the authentic Huntsman spider on the wall and delicious looking assortment of jars and cheeses and hams and lively patrons all served to encourage our confidence in choosing Pasini’s for a pricey dinner to treat ourselves after a hard but satisfying afternoon in kayaks, the picture of happiness and […]
mother nature flipped a switch
April 21, 2014
Its the small, consistently available pleasures, which make a man happy, the more natural these pleasures, the better… a week or so back, Winter turned to Spring, mother nature flipped a switch, the gaze of the sun goddess returned, for at least a few hours every day, sometimes… those few hours fall upon that special […]
